The Best Hotels in Sibiu, Romania

On an alleyway just off Strada Constituției, you’ll find this five-star boutique hideaway which opened in 2017. Inside, there are six double rooms, three apartment units, and a single room for solo travellers. Despite its intimate size, the hotel is chock full of amenities, with an art gallery (the owner’s passion project), restaurant, gym, spa, and meeting room.

Budget travellers will appreciate a stay at the B13 Hostel. Even though it’s in a 1946 building, originally meant to house a telephone provider (some say it looks like New York City’s Metropolitan Club), this hostel has super modern amenities. Sandwiched right in the middle of Old Town, it takes a modern twist on communal living, with six- to 20-person dorms, and conveniences like laundry, lockers, and access to tea and coffee, plus a terrace. If your stomach is growling, head down to the Burger Bar 2.0.

Sibiu-born poet Oskar Pastior once lived in this home on Strada Gheorghe Lazăr, right in the historic centre. Nearby, you’ll find the Natural History Museum Garden, Corpses Gate, and State Philharmonic Sibiu’s Thalia Concert Hall. In short, no planning needed when you stay here – simply wander outside and let the best of Sibiu speak to you. Rooms are simple and include breakfast each morning.

Perched on the edge of Piața Aurel Vlaicu is this contemporary aparthotel with 32 studios and apartments, each with a kitchenette and desk for business travellers. While the appeal of the locale is in the hustle of the piazza, it’s just a 10-minute walk to the forested Parcul Sub Arini.

Just south of the Bürger Gate, this home was built in 1472, and remains the tallest house on Ocnei Street with an impressive 60-degree angled roof. Despite its historic roots, the interior is a modern-day delight with five apartments, each with its own private entrance and in-unit laundry washing machine and dryer.
