Hotels near Star Play, Sibiu

In fact, I had a reservation, but I refused to stay at the hotel due to the conditions and the rudeness of the staff (who were probably following the owner's instructions). The German-named hotel, a rip-off, was pretty much like the one I got with Johannis. You check in, go to your room, and find that it's very hot. You fiddle with the high-tech AC control system on a tablet embedded in the wall, only to discover that it's already set to the minimum temperature with the ventilation at maximum, yet it still displays 27 degrees in the room. You take off your shoes and sit by the ventilation grille, noticing a slight breeze (and I'm not exaggerating, just a slight breeze) that probably aims for 25-26 degrees. I've spent several years cumulatively in hotels, so I know their tricks. I open TripAdvisor and search for reviews, and of course, all the ones from the summer period complain about the lack of AC. I go down to the reception and ask the lady there if they have any rooms where the AC works and if they won't shuffle me from room to room as they did with other tourists who had written about this ”strategy,” probably devised by the rude owner. The lady assures me that she will solve my problem: two more rooms and luggage tours through the hotel, only to find out that it was exactly as I suspected: no room could provide a decent temperature. The lowest was 26 degrees with the AC running at maximum for 5 hours (in a colleague's room who had arrived earlier). I don't understand two things: How does a place like this get a 4-star rating? Probably the same way gas stations between buildings do. What kind of owner is so rude and stingy that they won't solve the problem and won't instruct their staff to try to fool the customer by shuffling them from room to room, even though they have reviews from 2022 pointing out the issue? PS: I mustn't forget two more aspects: brown wooden doors in a design with white and gray in the rooms; it's as if a blind person thought of the color combination. The parking lot might be enough for 10% of the rooms, and the reception lady encourages you to park at the nearby Mega Image supermarket where the parking spaces are marked as for the store's customers. When you ask if that's not a problem, you're told to put your car in a less noticeable spot in the back; otherwise, the store staff might notice and come to ”complain” about it. This is Romanian tourism (even with a German name) in the ”land of well-done things.”

We stayed at this hotel in February for Valentine's Day and did not regret our choice for a minute. The hotel is very comfortable and really cares about its customers. I'm surprised that this site gave the hotel such a low rating. I would give it 10/10 for everything. We checked into the hotel very quickly. Our room was on the second floor. We rode the elevator a couple of meters once and later we only used wonderful stairs with portrets on the wall. The room had 2 toilets. The cleanliness is perfect. Silence. We were especially pleased with all the hotel amenities in the room, from shampoos to bed linen, bathrobes and slippers, which were of high quality. No cheap synthetics. I like it when you pay money and you can see what you paid for. The interior is very beautiful and unusual. The hotel is cozy. Lots of places to relax and take beautiful photos. Breakfast in the restaurant had a lot of choice and all the food was very tasty. In the evening we visited the spa complex with a swimming pool and sauna, which was also included in the room payment. The water in the pool was warm and clean, just like a bath. I saw that some people wrote that the hotel’s interior Baroque style is outdated. I completely disagree. This hotel definitely has its own zest and charm and it brightly complements the impressions of the city itself with its unique centuries-old history. It's sad when hotels in different countries are similar to each other, differing only in the color of the vases or walls. Over time, they are simply erased from memory. In this case, I have vivid memories of the city of Sibiu thanks to this hotel. The hotel is located in an old beautiful building on the central pedestrian street. It was very convenient to explore the city, making circles along the ancient streets, past small taverns and shops and then, tired, returning to the oasis of comfort and coziness right in the center of the tourist area. I especially want to note the high-quality work of the staff. All the employees with whom we had the opportunity to communicate were very friendly and helped us sincerely. We were received as their guests. I recommend this hotel for romantic couples.

My stay at Hotel Continental Forum in Sibiu, Romania, was an absolute gem of an experience. 🏨 Nestled in the heart of this charming Transylvanian city, the hotel's location was a perfect blend of convenience and historic charm. The highlights of the hotel were its elegant rooms, each tastefully decorated and offering a cozy retreat after a day of exploring. The friendly and attentive staff added a warm touch, making me feel truly welcomed. Waking up to the view of Sibiu's old town from my room was a highlight in itself. The hotel's proximity to landmarks like the Council Tower and the Brukenthal National Museum allowed for easy exploration of the city's rich history and culture. After a day of sightseeing, the hotel's restaurant, with its delicious Romanian cuisine, became a favorite spot. The nearby Piata Mare, surrounded by colorful baroque buildings, offered a lively atmosphere for evening strolls and people-watching. In essence, Hotel Continental Forum in Sibiu provided not just a comfortable stay but a delightful immersion into the city's ambiance. Its central location, welcoming atmosphere, and proximity to Sibiu's attractions make it an ideal choice for anyone exploring this picturesque corner of Romania. 🏰🍽️🌆

Overall excellent experience ruined by contracted horrible laundry service! Clothing was not ready when promised, poorly washed -- light clothes darkened from mixed wash, clothes were returned folded/damp & the reception staff supporting the contractor's stories -- my clothes were promised the evening before, when they were not returned the next morning, reception staff said the contractor was on the way -- 20 minutes later, they told me the contractor was ironing my clothes & will be here in 10 minutes, all lies! The Golden Tulip Ana Tower's needs a reputable laundry service or discontinue it!

Very spacious, accommodating the three of us in a twin room and a sofa in the living room, with plenty of daylight in this 5th floor apartment. Plus a kitchen. It's a bit of a walk from the city centre but we found a couple of bars nearby for a nightcap. Just the sort of apartment where I would live if I could afford it!

A wonderful place to stay in Sibiu. It's situated only a few steps away from Old City of Sibiu, near to all attractions. The iwners are very courteous,ready to help in any problem. All the compound is cozy, quite and clean. The breakfast is very tasty,whith a lot of handmade traditional products. Definitely,this will be our option in Sibiu

I visited Sibiu for a business meeting and stayed at this hotel. Rooms were nice and clean, breakfast was good although although not very diverse (I did not expect more). The restaurant was also good and the location was quite an relatively close to the center (in Sibiu everything seems to be relatively close). It was a good hotel experience.

Very weird experience. On one hand, the place looked new and modern. On the other hand, we had issues at check in so we got another set of rooms with same rate and somehow didn’t annulate the one over booking. But let’s say it was fixed. Bathroom was smelling bad and shower had issues. Bathroom needs clear renovation! Even worst, the lady at the reception came over me in the room and ran. I screamed because I was like *** and went on the hall because I assumed my door didn’t close if someone came in. And it was no room service. Someone yelled sorry from the hall and did not turn around. Even weirder, every day leaving with the car the receptionist was running after us to check out??? I mean, they have the visa if we were to leave. Just really off experience.
