Hotel Medieval

A truly unique experience in the heart of Alba Iulia! Hotel Medieval is not just a place to stay, it's a journey back in time, but in a good way. Located inside the stunning Vauban-style Alba Carolina Fortress, the hotel offers beautifully restored 18th-century architecture, elegant rooms with views of the fortifications or the Obelisk, and a peaceful atmosphere away from city noise. The food was amazing, served in a royal-like setting. Perfect for a relaxing weekend, a romantic getaway, or even a business event. Highly recommended!

I have stayed here on business for 3 nights in August. I would definitely say this is not a 5 start hotel. I would struggle to give it 3 in all honesty. Location is lovely as it is within the citadel. Building itself is nice and historical. Rooms, spacious but very dated and not clean. You can see many years of accumulated dirt on soft furniture and carpets. Bathroom toiletries didn't even contain a shower gel. It was very hot and the provided air conditioning unit was not sufficient to bring room temperature down to a bearable level. Breakfast, very poor choice. One day there was not even one piece of fruit available. Reception, although some of the staff working was very friendly and helpful there were times that there was no one available and the provided telephone number was for the handset that was left on the desk so no one was there to answer it. All an all I will not stay there again.

Unfortunately I have to say that this hotel is a joke. We booked and arrived in time just to find a super hot room and the A/C was a mobile one and extremely noisy. Room wasn't prepared so at least cool and comfortable. The windows have no curtains. We asked to move to other room but the lady from reception who was like lost in space told us they are fully booked. The second level is dusty, smelly and terrible. And this is 150 euro/ night. In our desperation we called another hotel and moved out. This never happened before. Maybe disappointed but not shocked of such service.
