There is no elevator but they graciously helped bring our suitcases upstairs. The breakfast (included) was excellent. This was more like staying with friends at their house."

Hotel Golden House

4.0 star property
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (22)
"You must expect a dated (but historical) property; but the service is exceptional. Huge menu choice. Some room aspects a little dated (& tired to be honest), but what humans usually like about anything is character. This place has character & worth visiting, even for only 1 or 2 nights. Unless on business, I'd say Craiova is just a stopover point. Be prepared for challenges with roads (on satnav/GPS)."

"The only reason I can’t give 5 stars is because the loud music that was playing outside on the nearby restaurant terrace. It only stoped at 3:00 am in the morning. Unacceptable. I understand that it’s not the hotel’s fault but something must be done about changing municipalities regulations. Thank you for otherwise a great stay! "
