Shades of Cluj Napoca – Artitude Apartments

Shades of Cluj Napoca – Artitude Apartments Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Shades of Cluj Napoca – Artitude Apartments, you immediately sense this isn’t your typical hotel setup. The building on Carmen Silva street has that classic Romanian apartment block exterior, but honestly, don’t let that fool you — what’s waiting inside is completely different. It’s one of those places where the name actually makes sense once you’re there, with thoughtful design touches that feel more like stepping into a friend’s well-curated apartment than a standard hotel room.

Location & Neighborhood

The location on Carmen Silva puts you right in the sweet spot of Cluj-Napoca — close enough to the action but tucked away from the tourist chaos. You’re actually within walking distance of the old town, and I mean a real walk, not one of those “walking distance” claims that requires hiking boots. The neighborhood has that lived-in feel where locals grab coffee and you’ll find small shops that aren’t just tourist traps.

The Space

What struck me most about this four-star place is how they’ve managed to create spaces that feel both modern and comfortable. The apartments — well, they’re more like carefully designed studios — have this artistic edge without being pretentious about it. You know what I really appreciated? The kitchen setup actually works for preparing real meals, not just reheating leftovers. The whole place has this urban apartment vibe that makes extended stays feel natural rather than cramped.

Practical Details

Here’s something you don’t always get with apartment-style accommodations — the service feels genuinely helpful without being overbearing. They’ve figured out that balance between giving you space and being available when you need something. The building itself is quiet (important when you’re trying to sleep), and the Wi-Fi actually works consistently — I mean, it sounds basic, but you’d be surprised how many places get this wrong. Parking can be arranged, which in Cluj-Napoca’s city center is honestly worth mentioning.

Why Guests Love It

Look, the 9.5 rating isn’t just numbers — it reflects something real about how this place operates. It’s that rare combination where the artistic concept doesn’t sacrifice comfort, and the apartment-style setup doesn’t mean you’re left figuring everything out on your own. Whether you’re in Cluj-Napoca for work, exploring Transylvania, or just need a base that feels more like home than a hotel room, this place delivers on its promise. It’s thoughtfully done without trying too hard, and sometimes that’s exactly what you need.

• Just lovely – Ovidiu from Romania – May 25, 2024 (10/10)

  Very modern, spacious, clean, easy to reach location and a very helpful host.

• Nicely decorated apartment – Dina from Australia – June 25, 2025 (7/10)

  The apartment was clean and looked like the photos. We didn’t realise on booking that it was quite a distance from the old town however it had a neighbourly feel. If using a vehicle check how to enter the garage before arriving and when leaving one must use the toggle and then put it back in the apartment.
  
  What could be improved: With two couples the bathrooms weren’t ideal. The shower in one bathroom sprayed all over the floor and in the other the bathtub was in the bedroom and one couldn’t have a standup shower. The door to the toilet was jammed.

  Eine absolut coole Unterkunft, perfekt eingerichtet, sehr stylish, sehr sauber, sehr modern. Der Aufenthalt hat Spaß gemacht, wir haben uns sehr wohl und willkommen gefühlt.
  Im Untergeschoss befindet sich der Parkplatz. Die Inhaberin ist sehr charmant und freundlich.
  
  What could be improved: Es war schwer die Wohnung zu finden, da es sich um eine neu gebautes Ensemble handelt, das aus mehreren Modulen besteht. Unter der bei Booking.com angegebene Adresse findet man die Wohnung nicht.
  Bitte kontaktieren Sie die Gastgeberin vorab und lassen sich die richtigen Koordinaten geben.
