We chose Aro Palace for our trip to Brasov first and foremost due its excellent location, about 10 minutes away (walking) from the main square in the old city center, Piata Sfatului. We had a very good 4-night stay, although when we arrived we were disappointed because the hotel and the rooms are somewhat dated (both the furniture as well as the walls, carpets, decorations etc) and didn’t look as new and fancy as we would have liked. However, the hotel staff was very helpful and quickly solved our requests, so in the end we decided the pros outweight the cons and managed to have a lovely time. The rooms are large and comfortable, if you look past the dated aspect, and they are equipped with everything a 4-star hotel should provide its guests. A few things here though: 1) our room did not have enough outlets, and none was available next to the nightstands - perhaps this is something the management could take into account for the next renovation; 2) there is no information in the rooms about the room service menu or the hotel amenities - I think having that sort of information available via a smart TV like most modern hotels have nowadays would be a big plus. 3) there is no place to leave towels and bathing suits to dry - the hotel has an optional room cleaning policy, which is quite nice and thoughtful to the environment, however, without a proper way to dry towels and bathrobes so that they can be reused, you are forced to ask for these to be refreshed daily. 4) the rooms and especially the bathrooms should be cleaned a little bit better - this is subjective, but in my opinion, comparing to similar hotels in the same price range I’ve stayed at, others do a much better job at cleaning mold and grime from all surfaces. On the bright side, the breakfast was very good, quality ingredients and excellent coffee - definitely better that similar hotels in the same price range. The rooms are equipped with Nespresso coffee machines, which is nice but also quite surprising, due to the contrast with the old-fashioned decor. We didn’t use the spa but we visited the pool - there are actually two, a small one for kids, that seemed to be heated, and a larger one, very decent size, that starts at 1.3 meters and reaches 2+ meters in depth at the far end. The spa & pool are not reserved for hotel guests only, and when we visited there was a group of people taking swim lessons and some college kids hanging around. The elevator takes you directly to the pool, which is good because you don’t need to parade in your bathrobe and slippers through the main lobby (unlike other hotels). As a downside, the pool area could be cleaned better as well - the small pool had areas on the bottom where black grime was visible between tiles. The hotel has 4 elevators, which meant we never had to wait for more than a few seconds. The WiFi had decent speed and coverage throughout the hotel. The hotel also has its own parking, however we did need to use it. Lastly, the location is exce

First things first - booked online, pictures looking great , upon arrival the situation changed slightly ... even that we booked the 4 star section of the hotel and we got the room there (it has a 3 star section also, but I doubt I want to know how that is looking like after seeing the 4 star room), but yes you pay like for a 4 star hotel - and in Brasov in the summer - end of July, full holidays season is not a small amount I can tell you. Still , it was suiting a purpose - we only spent 3 nights here so it is not the end of the world. A few ”minuses” - dated furniture showing signs of wear, a slight musty scent despite of the odorants used during house keeping, the minibar overpriced like beyond belief plus the door of the small fridge was not closing properly unless you ”persuaded” it a little bit, shower booth very small by any standard, very average breakfast - to say the least- if spend more than a few days here you just give up on it in have breakfast in the city, plus during breakfast the tables were cleaned between customers with great delay, staff was more busy with their morning chat (and making some very unappropriated comments in Romanian about some Muslim guests attending breakfast - not all your customers are foreigners people! be a bit careful with your tongues.) Some ”pluses” - the room was spacious, the beds were comfortable nothing to complain, hotel was not noisy from my perspective, free parking and we could always find a spot to park, supermarket 2 minutes walking from the hotel, historical center very close to the hotel , 10-12 minutes walk and you are there, they got breakfast, even that is boring and limited in options, at least you got something, very fast check in and check out. And the tropical fish tank in the lobby area is excellent! Overall not a bad option, not 4 star from my perspective - I've seen hotels on 5 continents - this is not 4 ... more like 3-ish ... price to quality ratio needs improvement... still we had a good stay , we only needed a place to sleep and shower so it suited the purpose since the majority of time we were out of the room.

Went for the Christmas offering. Arrived at 1PM, room was ready. Attention to detail in having a small welcome gift from some sponsors in the room. Towels changed daily, liquid soap available, hot water for showering. Did not get the balcony room due to lack of availability, but the view was still good. Food was OK but did not have that touch of ”being different”. Just plenty and good to eat. The band that was hosted for the 3 night stay was OK but did not really interact with the public and there was not really any space to dance. Ionut at the cocktabil bar is very friendly and can give you some recommendations for something new. Santa came with a small gift for the kids even though we prepared beforehand with our home brought gift. Last but not least, the water and coffee included were also nice to have. The only issue I have is that the pool was not heated enough for my taste and I am really not that kind of person that freezes in a 21 degree heated pool. The heat was coming mainly from the radiators.

Lets start by addressing the hotel, all good, well maintained premises, a spa with a small indoor pool and 2 outdoor Jacuzzi. The all wood overall theme looks amazing, and it was interesting the amount of effort in maintaining the flower buckets visible on all balconies. The highlight for me was the breakfast though. I've yet to see the same level of breakfast yet, anywhere else I've been yet. You get spoiled with choices to the point where you don't know what to pick. You feel like having some nuts? Sure! Walnuts, peanuts, almonds, pistachio and 5 more i didn't even knew what they were. Fruits, like 10 types, fruit skewers with a chocolate fountain, doughnuts, honey comb, omelette station, an entire jambon Serrano leg you could cut from. Anyways you get the picture, I would say the entire menu consisted of at least 100 different items, from bakery to fruits and spices. Will definitely come again, maybe just for the challenge of tasting everything.

I’ve been there with my mom for a weekend and I break my tooth in the pork scratchings. The restaurant supervisor was nice and apologetic but the head Chef accused me for having bad teeth . He also told me that he’s having some food ingredients that he’s buying them from other providers and he’s not responsible for it. He kept the rest of pork scratching over night in white bowl wrapped in cling film and told me that the scratchings are soft ( after it got softer over night ) .It looks like nobody knows what to do and I’ve been treated like nothing happened. I’m just curious now after what happened with my broken tooth if someone with a bad allergy is coming and something will happen, they will act on the same idea like they did to me ? Never go back to that place

What a lovely place to stay. This boutique hotel was in such a great location, close to everything in the old town. Just a short walk to some lovely traditional restaurants. The cable car is very close as are all the historic buildings. The hotel is extremely clean and smells divine. Large rooms and great showers. It feels very modern and new with lots of attention to detail. You can control all the lighting and temperature. We were welcomed with a glass of prosecco and friendly helpful staff. The breakfasts were varied and plentiful. We had a lovely stay and would highly recommend this hotel.

Finishing our long trip in the country, finally arriving at Brasov. The Hotel HP Tower One ( the old name is Ramada) was a wonderful surprise. The room was excellent like space, a very good bed and pillows. I had the best sleep here. Coffee, tea and refrigerator. Very good and clean bathroom. We ate our dinner in a wonderful restaurant and the food was excellent. In the morning the breakfast was very good in a large space. I recommend this hotel if you in Brasov.

The first problem is to stop at the residence level, no parking, no deposit.... The whole in a very passing street... we park on the footing as we can, blocking the pedestrians, super... recovery of the apartment keys and the keys of the chains for the parking further after depositing baggage in their room. Suite not reserved at the height of our expectations, court view, far from the 70 square meters announced, old man, retake parquet, tired furniture, in fact two rooms with a communicating door. Even not a simple coffee cooker... Breakfast served in another hotel 100m away, not top at all, simple products, first price fruit juice, charcuterie and cheese. Pouco de frutas, no de productos lácteos aparte de un queso blanco escremé, que de la felicidad... un impresion au total d'amateurisme et d'optimisation, se méfient des belles images proposées sur les sites. It is true that it is located in the centre, attention to the road crossing however.
