Residence Central Annapolis

One of the best hotels I’ve stayed at in recent years. And I travel quite extensively. Very charming and cozy. The very first amazing impression was the front desk girl, Tania. She was incredibly nice, professional, and helpful. I arrived too early for check in but she was very helpful in accommodating my luggage. I asked her for restaurant suggestions and each recommendation she gave me served delicious Romanian food. She represents the hotel very nicely, it was a warm welcome to my amazing stay in Brasov. Centrally located hotels tend to a problem because of the noise at night. However, the rooms at Annapolis are impressively soundproofed. I slept like a spoiled baby. Rooms in Annapolis have no AC. I was concerned about this at first but my experience with European cities, especially a city in the mountains, is that the temperatures drop rather drastically at night. Opening one window for two hours (8pm - 10pm) along with the provided fan, cooled my room enough to last through the night. The temperatures in Brasov during my visit ranged from 78° F to 84° F (around 28°C), it was quite hot in the day. Pretty cool at night. This was in mid September. My room had direct views of the Black Church and the Brasov sign on Mount Tampa. Along with a comfortable bed, every detail about this hotel was A++. From the staff, to the views, to the location, to the comfort, it’s one of the few hotels I recommend with the highest regards.

This trips should have been great, as we’ve booked this place right across the street from the Black Church, in the old city part of Brasov. However, we’ve been very dissapointed by the fact that the heating was working properly in the room. When we arrived, it was really cold inside (beginnig of October, near the mountains), we were told that heating is turned on only at 21:30! Well, it was turned on (by that time the kids took a bath and were already in bed), and then turned off after a short time, and after that turned on and off for the whole night!! It’s my first experience of this kind, and not a pleasant one… The receptionist brought us an electric heater, but obviously could use it in one room in the same time. And when the central heating was turned on, it was too hot so had to turn off the electric heater… A “lovely” night as you can imagine… The breakfast was good, but you had to 100m down the street to another hotel, a proper hotel, as Annapolis is not a hotel, as it is marketed here… To wrap it up, I’m sure there are plenty of other options nearby this place…

Annapolis is a lovely hotel. My family (mom, dad, boy, girl) stayed in a very large 2 bedroom private room. The bathroom is nice and fancy. The shower is very powerful. The people who work at the hotel are incredibly helpful and nice. It is right across the street from the black church and I'd say it's in the center of downtown. It's by the main square, which is beautiful, and there are numerous restaurants and cafes. They helped us book our tour (Land of Dracula-a total must) and even though we checked out, they let us keep bags there the wrote day. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel.
