Top hotels in Old City

Hotel Timisoara
Reception clean and modern but once you go up in the life you get transported back in time. Only 1 plug socket on the other side of the room to the bed, lucky I took a 3m charging cable with me. Didn’t eat at the hotel except a couple of snacks from the mini fridge.

Old Town Hotel

VISAJ Downtown

ApartHotel No6
The apartment is perfectly located, within walking distance of main attractions and restaurants. It was very clean and felt very cozy. A small suggestion would be to include a full-length mirror in the apartment.
