The yellow umbrella studio Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to The yellow umbrella studio on Bulevardul Eroilor, you’ll immediately understand why this place has such an incredible location score. I mean, you’re literally in the heart of Cluj-Napoca — and when I say heart, I actually mean it. This three-star studio sits right where all the action happens, but somehow manages to feel like a peaceful retreat once you step inside.
Location & Neighborhood
Honestly, the location is what makes this place special. You know how some hotels claim to be centrally located but you still end up walking twenty minutes to get anywhere interesting? Well, that’s not the case here. The main pedestrian zone is basically at your doorstep, and you can walk to most of Cluj’s best cafes, restaurant, and cultural spots in just a few minutes. Couples absolutely love it here — they’ve rated the location 9.8 for romantic getaways, and I can see why. There’s something really nice about being able to stroll hand-in-hand through the old town without having to plan your route around public transport.
The Studio Space
The room itself is exactly what you’d expect from a well-designed studio — compact but thoughtfully laid out. Everything you need is there, and the yellow umbrella theme (which could have been cheesy) actually works really well. It feels fresh and cheerful without being overwhelming. The space is clean and modern, though you won’t find fancy amenities here — this is more about smart design and a great location than bells and whistles. The kitchen is efficiently organized for preparing simple meals.
What Makes It Work
What I really appreciate about this place is how it doesn’t try to be something it’s not. It’s a studio apartment in a fantastic location with a 9.6 rating, and that rating comes from delivering exactly what it promises. The hosts clearly understand that when you’re staying right in the center of Cluj, you’re probably going to be out exploring most of the time anyway. So they’ve focused on making sure you have a comfortable, clean base that’s perfectly positioned for everything the city has to offer.
Why Guests Love It
The combination of that unbeatable location and the personal touch really sets this studio apart from typical hotel stays. You’re not just getting accommodation — you’re getting a little slice of Cluj life in one of the city’s most vibrant neighborhoods. Whether you’re here for a romantic weekend or just want to experience the city like a local, The yellow umbrella studio gives you that perfect home base. Plus, with parking being such a nightmare in the city center, having a place where you can actually sort that out is honestly a huge relief. The welcoming atmosphere makes every guest feel at home.

Reviews of The yellow umbrella studio
Exceptional – Alice from Romania – July 21, 2023 (10/10)
Everything was perfect. The apartment was incredible and the stuff was very nice and polite.
My favorite place in Cluj.Excellent value for money, super clean, a real home with everything you could need – Alex from United Kingdom – March 24, 2023 (10/10)
perfect location
What could be improved: a man (employee of one of the businesses) sat in the courtyard all day and saw when you enter and exit – not a problem and not up to the host but similar to a hotel in that respect. Also may provide some security but lack of privacyC’était bien – Nahil from France – June 22, 2025 (10/10)
Cozy
What could be improved: Le matelas bas de gamme , pas de rideaux sur la fenêtre de la cuisine , rideau pas assez long sur la fenêtre en face du lit , gros bruit de boom boom h24 des voitures qui soulève les parpaings de la route , entrée du bâtiment étroit et remplis de matériel de construction , salle de bain très belle mais faut faire quelque chose pour ce pommeau de douche bas de gamme quelque chose de fixer et de plus gros serais beaucoup mieuxExceptional – Cristi from Romania – September 22, 2024 (10/10)

Superb – Zoltan from Romania – March 22, 2024 (10/10)
…ne intoarcem cu placere
De neuitat… – Zoltan from Romania – November 4, 2022 (10/10)
E un loc unde oricand ne-am intoarce cu placere. Totul a fost deosebit si conform asteptarilor…spatios, curat, bine amenajat, are toate facilitatile necesare pt. un sejur de cateva zile. Check-in si check-out ideal. Recomand
In centru , placut . – Bianca from Romania – May 23, 2024 (9/10)
Apartamet frumos , in centru , cu dotari necesare , chiar ok
What could be improved: Intrarea prin curtea interioara nu este semnalizata corespunzator , normal intri si faci stanga si urci treptele si nu cum este indicat de proprietar , practic prin balcoanele tuturor locatarilor , balcoane pline de lucruri si obiecte din casa .Wonderful – Andrea from Germany – August 18, 2023 (9/10)
Tolle Lage
What could be improved: Der Eingang in das Haus ist etwas abenteuerlich- wir sind über einige Tierknochen gestiegen 😝Studio ul e frumos dar cladirea lasa de dorit – Monica from Romania – July 23, 2024 (8/10)
Studio-ul este amenajat frumos: chic si modern. Ai cam tot ce ai nevoie inclusiv masina de spalat vase si rufe
What could be improved: Cladirea in sine este cam horror. Miroase a irigatie. Se intra dificil, e murdar, nu e lumina pe holul de jos unde se creaza o baltoaca tocmai buna de pasit direct in ea.. porumbeii stau pe sub scari si poti calca pe ei….
