Guest Reviews
- Andreea1993 (10/5): Fascinant - Camera superbă, totul a fost de vis. Recomand.
- Michael (10/5): Weekend in Brasov - Room was great. Super comfortable. Beautifully furnished. Staff was sup attentive. Would definitely go back if I return to Brasov Nothing
- Frédérique (9/5): Très bel établissement avec beaucoup de charme et de caractère -
- Julia (10/5): -
- Susan (10/5): -
- Judith (9/5): Very good - Very pretty room in decorative French style but with all mod cons.
Very clean, good breakfasts, good location near the main square Many steps up to our room - tricky with heavy suitcases.
- Pavel (10/5): Luxurious historical property few minutes away from old town. - The best breakfast I have ever had in a hotel, hospitality and friendly staff, luxurious rooms. A modern shower looked did not fit the historical style of the accommodation
- loran (10/5): - The room was beautiful, the breakfast was excellent and the location was perfect.
- David (10/5): -
- Viviana (10/5): - El alojamiento es fantástico. Esta perfectamente ubicado, es confortable al extremo, comodo, con una estética maravillosa de epoca.
El desayuno es personalizado entre cuatro opciones, riquísimo y abundante.
El hotel tiene pocas habitaciones lo que le da ina sensación de intimidad que se percibe
Se permite dejar el auto en la puerta y, estando dentro del casco historico, no es necesario su uso.
El plus para que sea perfecto lo pone su personal. Anna es una excelente anfitriona. Paciente y dedicada, se nota que esta en cada detalle con el objetivo que sus huéspedes tengan la mejor estadía
Es, sin duda, para volver.
- Livia (10/5): - The room was gorgeous, beautifully decorated, lots of paintings, very clean and comfortable. The elegant breakfast setup. The staff was so kind and helpful. We felt like we had entered a house with its own personality, not just another beautifully arranged accommodation space. Not to mention that the location is perfect.
- Amnon (9/5): -
- Frédérique (10/5): Une jolie etape dans notre séjour - L emplacement et la beauté de de la décoration L eau qui ne s écoule pas bien dans la douche
- Serena (10/5): A step back in time and a glorious restful sleep. - So quaint and unique. Stairs but I knew that going in.:)
- Naomi (10/5): Perfect stay - Staff wonderful - location perfect - breakfast plentiful - room impeccably clean - building gorgeous with loads of charm
- Cristina (10/5): -
- Philip (10/5): Classical charm in the heart of the Old Town - Beautiful historic house in the stunning Old Town of Brasov. Traditionally decorated in a very classical way (possible exception the bright red shower lol). The host was super friendly. Nothing for us but the stairs to the bedroom are very steep with shallow treads. Just requires vigilance when descending with bags.
- Helena (10/5): - Incredibly friendly staff, charming room and location serving as an excellent base for exploration. Was a wonderful tranquil home to come back to after exciting days out.
- Lynn (8/5): Nice accommodations in historic Brasov - Good location. Loved the historic property. Very nice and efficient staff. Room was huge! Tough to control the room temperature (too hot, even in winter), so we opened the windows and were fine.
- John (10/5): Will be back one day - Lovely room, very comfortable, quiet location, enjoyed breakfast in bed
- Simon (8/5): Great for a real Romanian experience - Very nice location and great big rooms Bathroom shower a little dated
- Ramona (10/5): -
- Claudia (10/5): Repetiría sin duda. - El sitio es precioso, la decoración súper bonita, la habitación grande, bonita con todo lo necesario. Tienes varios tipos de desayuno a elegir, probamos 3, y los 3 riquísimos. Nada, todo perfecto.
- Lidia (10/5): - La ubicación, la atención, las instalaciones… todo en sí De ponerle una pega sería que las almohadas. No eran nada cómodas, al menos para mí
- Faida (10/5): -
- Helene (10/5): -
- Vivien (10/5): Book here if you want a serene, tasteful stay. - Very responsive and helpful staff. Was dealing with jet lag and a bit of a language barrier upon arrival, and the receptionist was kind enough to assist me in booking a shuttle back to the airport and accommodate a late check out. They shared splendid recommendations of what to do around the area and where to get traditional Romanian bites. The property itself is beautiful and has a lot of intimate, old world charm which is exactly what I wanted. Fantastic location that’s tucked away from the main center (plenty of privacy and quiet) yet still convenient by foot to get around. I wish they extended their breakfast hours or offered a light lunch, unfortunately I slept in and missed the cut off which is 10 am. They offer a varied menu of English, French, Transylvanian and Russian breakfasts which I regret not being able to try. Would consider this closer to a bed and breakfast establishment than a hotel.
- Mario (10/5): - Si tratta di un'antica casa trasformata in uno splendido boutique hotel, molto tranquillo, vicinissimo al centro (raggiungibile facilmente a piedi in cinque minuti) con alcune bellissime camere - la nostra, suddivisa in più stanze, era enorme - con pavimenti in legno e dettagli curatissimi che conferiscono un'atmosfera d'altri tempi. Si viene accolti dalla gerente molto gentile e disponibile. Eccellente le colazioni: si può scegliere tra colazione classica francese continentale, inglese, russa (con tanto di caviale e salmone), o transilvana (coscia d'anatra e prosecco, confit, succo d'arancia, ecc). La colazione viene servita in un piccolo graziosissimo locale al pianterreno: anche qui dettagli curatissimi e tavolo imbandito con eleganza; anche qui sembra di essere trasportati in un altro mondo.
Eccellente rapporto qualità-prezzo.
Possibilità di parcheggiare davanti all'hotel senza sovrapprezzo. Dalle finestre non si ha vista, l'immobile risultando incastonato in una serie di costruzioni. La cosa, comunque, non ci ha minimamente disturbato, considerata la bellezza di tutto il resto.
- Michael (10/5): Staff, reserved parking, huge rooms, MUST STAY - The rooms are huge … the staff is very helpful…. Breakfast is made to order … will reserve you parking out front …. The rooms are quiet … and everything is a super short walk Nothing :)

- Karen (10/5): Excellent hotel in a perfect location for tourists. - The location of this hotel is within easy walking distance to the tourist area. The host was very friendly and helpful. There are chairs in the room to sit in. Spacious bathroom. Everything looked clean. Excellent breakfast. We had duck confit which was a rare breakfast offering. But we were very happy to have it. We highly recommend this place. The room across the hallway had their main light on all night which shone through the windows above their door and ours which made our room very bright all night.
- Negrini (9/5): - Localização excelente, próximo aos principais pontos turísticos. Quarto amplo e bem decorado
- CHARIKLEIA (10/5): Lovely cozy stay - Lovely place, very friendly staff. Loved the breakfast area.. would definitely recommend it 😊

- Michael (10/5): Fantastic, a real hidden gem near old town square in Brasov - Stylish boutique hotel, great oldie worldie atmosphere. Friendly staff, amazing breakfasts, traditional furniture and decor, nice and quiet meaning good sleep. Close to old town square. Basically loved everything about this hotel. Loved everything about hotel.
- Bartolome (9/5): - desayuno excelente y una ubicacion inmejorable
- Annie (9/5): - The breakfast was amazing!
- Dorit (10/5): - היה מקום מעולה וקיבלנו בו שירות וואו. המיקום יוצא דופן, יש חניה פרטית בחינם.
ארוחת הבוקר הייתה יוצאת דופן.
הכל היה יפה ממש המיקום שלו הוא גם קצת חיסרון כי היה רעש של מכוניות בלילה כי רצינו להיות עם חלון פתוח (המלון עצמו מחומם תמיד). אבל חוץ מזה היה מעולה.
החדר היה עם מיטה נפתחת שהזמנו לבת שלנו וזה היה פחות נוח כי זה חסם את התנועה בחדר. אבל בסך הכל היה מעולה
- Myrna (10/5): -
- OHAD (10/5): נפלא - היה מעולה . צוות המלון כל הבנות נהדרות
ארוחת בקר מותאמת אישית
חדרים ענקיים
סדרו חניה בחזית המלון
- Yoko (10/5): 良かった。 - ロケーションが良く、建物が美しい。朝食が美味しい。 お値段が少し高い。
- Milene (10/5): Jederzeit wieder - Fantastisches Hotel mit klassischer, sehr edler Möblierung; Sehr grosse Zimmer; sehr freundlicher Empfang. Zentrale Lage in der Altstadt Nichts
- Ana (10/5): An aristocratic stay! - Absolutely perfect accommodation. I don’t recall staying at a such beautiful small hotel in a long time. I loved everything, the details in the decor, the location, the cleanliness. It was a flawless stay, made me feel like a princess. Would definitely return!
- Emily (10/5): Exceeded expectations. - Wonderful location. Amazing service. Delicious breakfast. And a gorgeous hotel. Everything was exquisite. We look forward to staying here again.
- Raluca (10/5): - Am fost impresionati de ospitalitatea personalului si de cazarea absolut superba, decorata in stil vintage. Totul a fost minunat si cu siguranta vom reveni.
- Mocanu (10/5): Superb! - Inca de la receptie ne-am simtit bine primiti, doamna s-a ocupat de acomodarea noastra si a fost acolo de fiecare data cand am avut nevoie de ceva. Se vede ca face asta cu placere si se reflecta in atmosfera creata pentru clienti. Jos palaria!
Camera noastra a fost foarte mare si include toate necesitatile pentru o sedere cat mai placuta plus ca amenajarea acestei camere este superba, ofera un aer boem in ton cu povestea vilei si numele purtat.
Curatenia a fost facuta imediat fara incidente.
Micul dejun este exceptional, ofera diverse optiuni, produsele au fost proaspete si am savurat fiecare optiune a acestuia.
Locația este excelenta, mai ales ca am stat cu cel mic, am ajuns imediat in centrul vechi al orasului si ne-am bucurat de fiecare clipa.
Recomand, este ideal! Nu exista nemultumiri!

- elizabeth Clark (9/5): Perfect location for a short 2 night stay! Comfy bed, very nice staff, excellent breakfast - Great location. Walk to all the sites in the old town. Fantastic restaurants If you have issues with stairs that could be a problem.
- David (10/5): - Todo perfecto
- Gabriel (10/5): -
- Marcopro (5/5): Not Handicapped Accessible & Old, dated bedroom & bathroom; Value is Expensive - Breakfast was freshly prepared, tasty and adequate in terms of portions. The check in was quick and efficient as was check out. Finding the entrance to the hotel was a challenge. You travel through an alley aside from the building. After check-in, you exit the building to the alley which is uncovered to the weather elements. We had to carry our own luggage except for one bag that the receptionist carried for us. We have to walk up stairs to the entrance to the door to access the rooms. Then we had to walk up a flight of stairs with all of our bags (except the bag that the receptionist carried). If I was a senior citizen, I would have been challenged. And none of the facilities are handicapped accessible. The room is like staying in your old aunt's bedroom. It needs updating. It is filled with old furniture including the bed and mattress which needs replacing. The bedroom is small and challenged to find room to place all of our luggage. The bathroom is large and adequate except the towels were too thin. Value is off. The price of the room that I paid (nearly $173) is expensive. I recommended a price of no more than $100 per night. Would I stay here again? No. Would I recommend it to others? No especially if you are elderly or handicapped.

- Jonathan (10/5): -
- Ute (9/5): -
- Rachel (10/5): - The staff were helpful and friendly. The location was ideal for sightseeing Brasov. The towels were a bit small.
- Nicoleta (10/5): Eleganță, rafinament, decor de poveste! - Totul la superlativ. Amplasată central, într-o zonă liniștită , este o alegere ideală pentru vizitarea orașului cat și pentru relaxare. Camera spațioasă, curată, micul dejun bogat și variat, personal extrem de amabil și atent la detalii.
- Oliver (10/5): -
- Xuehong (10/5): - The hotel is in the central, easy to reach the tourist attraction by walk. Non
- ILONA (10/5): M-am simțit ca o regină. Am fost tratată ca o regină de personal. Locație excelentă, aproape de centru, dar cu liniștea - Vila te transpune în alta era, o eră a elegantei, a rafinamentului, a bunului gust și al unicității. Nu există.
- Martin (10/5): -
- NATACHA (10/5): - L'accueil vraiment adorable et l'atmosphère du lieu.
- Michal (10/5): Amazing stay - We stayed at Vila Katharina in Brașov from Friday 22nd August until Thursday 28th August, and it was an exceptional experience. The rooms were very clean and spacious, making our stay extremely comfortable.
The service was truly above and beyond – attentive, warm, and always helpful. Breakfast was another highlight: you choose your options the evening before, and the selection is both varied and delicious, served with the same outstanding hospitality.
The location is also perfect – right in the heart of Brașov, making it easy to explore the city on foot.
Overall, Vila Katharina exceeded our expectations in every way. Highly recommended!

- DANIELA (10/5): - Decorul este impresionant, camerele spatioase, curate, micul dejun gustos, variat, de foarte buna calitate si foarte frumos servit.
Primirea a fost foarte calduroasa de catre o doamna distinsa.
- Dana (10/5): Eclectic and comfortable location in the center of Brasov - I loved the design, the warmth of the room. It was very spacious, eclectic and comfortable. -
- Klaus (10/5): -
- Jana (10/5): - The beautiful interior décors, it felt like travelling in time. A lot of attention to detail and the overall atmosphere that was dreamlike and magical.
- Marcello (10/5): One of the best places to stay in Brasov - Beautiful boutique hotel perfectly located in a quite street of the old town. Our room was gorgeous. The staff was very nice, helpful and professional. One of the best places to stay in Brasov Nothing, it was amazing!
- Bradley (10/5): -
- Corina (10/5): It’s the second time I come here, everything is perfect. Couldn’t recommend it enough. -
- Martin (10/5): It was the best place, we stayed in Romania - HIGHLY Recommended. - This is a wonderful place to stay !! Highly recommended !!
It's a beautiful traditional buildings in a traditional style.
The rooms are spacious and beautiful
The staff are superb, helpful and friendly. Nothing.
- Loren (10/5): Exceptional -
- Wendell (10/5): Exceptional -
- Barry (10/5): Perfect stay in a beautiful city. - The hotel is in an excellent location. They have reserved parking immediately in front of the hotel. Breakfast is wonderful, and plenty to choose from. Gabby at the front check in was great!
- David (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ellenor (10/5): A real gem in Brașov - Gorgeous rooms, fabulous staff, location perfect. Boutique feel, exquisite furnishings. Delicious breakfast, a special stay. We loved it.
- Ann (6/5): Not as beautiful as I had hoped and not as interesting as they think it is. - The bed was very comfortable, the room was quiet. It was however somewhat contrived and intentionally 'wacky' which I do not like. The breakfast sounded interesting but was actually just plain weird. Again the intentionally and very self conscious attempt to be wacky I found very annoying.
- Joshua (10/5): The definition of a boutique experience! - Vila Katharina blew us away, we weren't expecting such a boutique experience but it didn't disappoint. The rooms are incredible with heaps of history and attention to detail, the staff were lovely and very helpful too. You couldn't choose a more perfect location, 2 minutes walk from the Black Church and main square beyond yet off the main busy tourist streets so much calmer.
