R&R studio Overview
First Impressions
When I first pulled up to R&R studio on Strada Arinilor, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from the name — it sounds more like a creative workspace than a place to stay. But you know what? That’s actually part of its charm. This four-star property sits quietly in one of Cluj-Napoca‘s residential neighborhoods, and there’s something refreshingly unpretentious about the whole setup. The fact that there’s parking right on site immediately won me over — anyone who’s tried to find a spot in Cluj’s city center will understand why that’s such a big deal.
The Studio Experience
The room itself is where things get interesting. It’s designed more like a modern studio apartment than a traditional hotel room, which explains the name. You get a proper living space that doesn’t feel cramped or hotel-generic, and honestly, after staying in countless cookie-cutter places, this felt like a breath of fresh air. The layout is smart — everything flows naturally, and you’re not bumping into furniture every time you turn around. I mean, it’s not huge, but they’ve used the space really well.
Location Perks
Here’s what I love about where this place sits — you’re close enough to everything that matters, but far enough from the tourist crowds that you actually get some peace. The neighborhood has that authentic Romanian residential feel, with local cafes and small shops that you’d never find in a guidebook. It’s about a 10-minute walk to the main university area, and getting to the old town takes maybe 15 minutes on foot. Couples seem to really get this location (they rate it nearly perfect), and I can see why — it feels like you’re staying somewhere real, not in a tourist bubble.
Practical Matters
The free private parking situation is honestly a game-changer if you’re driving. Most places in Cluj either don’t have parking at all or charge you extra for the privilege of not having your car towed. Here, you just pull in and you’re done — no stress, no hunting for spots on narrow streets. The whole check-in process was straightforward too, though I should mention this isn’t the kind of place with a 24-hour front desk and concierge service. It’s more self-sufficient, which actually suits the studio concept pretty well.
Why Guests Love It
That 9.6 rating isn’t just a fluke — this place delivers on what it promises without trying to be something it’s not. You’re getting a clean, well-designed space in a genuinely good location, with none of the inflated prices or fake touches you find at some of the flashier hotels. It works particularly well if you want to experience Cluj like someone who actually lives here, rather than just passing through. The studio setup gives you room to spread out and settle in, which makes even a short stay feel more comfortable and less rushed.

Reviews of R&R studio
It was a very comfortable stay. The apartment is in a quiet part of the city, and though slightly far from the city cent – Ana-luiza from Romania – July 22, 2025 (9/10)
Exceptionally clean, quiet and cool for the hot July summer days.
Wonderful – Jarca from Romania – April 26, 2025 (9/10)
The apartment design was super nice. It underlines a cozy atmosphere. It has all the necessary, including iron for clothes. The check-in & out was very easy. We received all the information upon our arrival.
What could be improved: I preferred a bigger bed. It was comfortable but for a couple a bigger size will fit perfectly.Exceptional – Mirela from Romania – July 26, 2025 (10/10)

What could be improved: –Exceptional – Lulunsson from Romania – June 25, 2025 (10/10)
Deși am fost dezamăgit că nu este aer condiționat, nu am simțit lipsa lui. Studioul este protejat de copaci, astfel că pe tot timpul zilei este răcoare.
Proprietatea unde am locuit foarte ok, dar orașul Cluj Napoca este un oraș plictisitor ! – Florin from Romania – May 4, 2025 (10/10)
Locuința curată , echipată cu tot ce este nevoie pentru un sejur de 2 zile, nimic de reproșat!
