Ανακαλύψτε τη διαμονή σας σε Timisoara

Struttura accettabile, l’armadio cadeva a pezzi e ti restava l’anta in mano, ci hanno dato una camera con matrimoniale e brandina ma noi eravamo in quattro (colpa nostra secondo loro perche’ non ci siamo spiegati bene) cosi’ abbiamo dormito in tre nel matrimoniale per 8 giorni, personale mediamente scortese e scorbutico, mai mezzo sorriso, ne’ buongiorno ne’ buonasera, sembravano tutti molto scocciati o arrabbiati, tranne la signora che faceva le pulizie ogni ogni giorno, sempre gentile e sorridente. Diciamo che va bene se non trovi niente altro, ma la gentilezza non e’ il loro forte.

I was only for one night to sleep and breakfast there, but it was all fine. The parking is large, safe and for free, the friendly receptionist has waited extra for me although the check was late. The hotel is close to the center and is still quietly located around the corner there is a tanker and a McDonalds. Breakfast was very good, even Moussaka there was! I can actually not criticize anything, it was for the price everything as hoped!

THE GOOD. The staff was very nice, friendly, helpful with what they could. Very good location, clean, silent. 10-15 walking distance from any interesting location. The restaurant was the best (I experienced) in town. There is a nice swimming pool, not warmed, too cool for end of May. Plenty of parking room!!! THE NOT SO GOOD. There is no room service, hence this is not a 4* hotel, as advertised. The dinning room is outside the hotel, so in a rainy day one has to walk and get wet. I would not want to fully dress during a winter stay just to have my morning coffee. In the room, the air conditioning worked as a fan. The safe was broken. The reception desk was kind, but could offer no solution. After two night, for extra pay, we got an ”apartment”, with a terrace without a table to put a glass on. The Venetian blinds were partially functioning. The air conditioning dead. The next day someone fixed it. In the bathroom one bulb did not work. I fixed it. The shower flexible tubing was damaged, it was difficult to hold it. In the rooms there were no paper an pen to take notes. The phone function buttons did not work, so I had to guess ”0” is the reception. The room had to entrances. One via the elevator, but they had only one key for two persons. The other, with an electronic key usable only after exiting the elevator and climbing the stairs one floor. As I said, this is not a 4* environment. The management should pay more attention to maintenance details. One day the restaurant staff were ”stiff” and stressed, very unusual. One whispered me ”The boss is here”. I was sad.

We spent two nights at the Hotel Reghina Blue. We have some very positive comments about some features and enjoyed our stay, but it could easily have been made much better. The hotel is situated further than we anticipated from the city centre. It is a good half hour's walk to Victory Square. We discovered later that there is a useful tram line (no 6) but there was no information about this at the hotel. There is free parking in front of the hotel and in a car park at the side. The hotel is modern and is decorated with interesting old photos of Timisoara buildings of the past. Our room was large with plenty of space for our luggage. It was clean and stylish. The bed was a little firmer than I like. The bedside lamps did not direct light to the bed and so it was not possible to read in bed, and it was necessary to get out of bed to turn them on and off. Otherwise it was a pleasant and comfortable room. The bathroom was fine and the shower worked well. Wifi was free and the signal was strong. On our first night we dined in the hotel. We had only just arrived in Romania and did not have any local currency and so thought it would be easiest. We had a very decent meal. The atmosphere was somewhat lacking as we were almost the only people there, but the hotel could not do anything about that. Breakfast was included in the price and was a self-service buffet. Some of it was very good: cold meat and cheese, bread, cakes and fruit. The hot offering was less appealling. It looked as if the fried eggs had been on display since the restaurant opened at 7am and were still there an hour later. The sausages, too, were lukewarm. If these items had not been present I would have thought it an excellent breakfast. The staff could have been more helpful. Only the breakfast waiter made an effort to be welcoming to guests. We found on our first evening that the safe in our room was not working. Perhaps it needed new batteries. We told the receptionist who came to have a look. She was not able to solve the problem herself and said she would get someone to come and deal with it the next day, but this never happened. We were given a map of the city which was very useful but we were given incorrect information when we asked about changing money and buying a ”vignette” to allow us to drive in Romania. We were directed to a bank along the road but this was closed and looked as if it had closed down a long time previously. Fortunately a very helpful lady in the travel office next door helped us to buy a vignette online and directed us to a nearby exchange office. The staff in the hotel really should have done this. They could also have told us about the tram mentioned earlier in this review. We only found out about it when we went to the tourist information office in the centre of the city. There was a pleasant courtyard garden and an outdoor swimming pool which we would have enjoyed if we had visited in the summer.

Very dated in the furnishings but certainly comfortable and functional. Close to the airport and the city centre. The only thing I honestly didn't understand is the breakfast room on the first floor. How come all the windows closed? They create a very “sad” environment
