Hotel Timisoara
Had trouble getting our key to work, so switched rooms. Rooms are pretty basic, balconies are a bit sketchy. Pool was excellent! Staff was friendly.

Opera Hotel
I've booked a 3 nights room at Opera hotel last minute and we've been definitely surprised how well it turned the whole experience there. The rooms are goood for the price, clean - so important as we have a newborn and a toddler. Really pleased with the stay and will recommend it.

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.
