Don't book

Don't book, only if you want services of 2 stars hotels with 4 stars prices.
Staff not welcoming, no elevator, expensiv and terrible breakfast, corroded bathroom, dirty water in the pool, the pool is much much smaller compered with the advertising pictures, cheap furniture and overall a cheap felling everywhere

The owner was very kind and understanding. There was a mix up with the dates that expedia put on there but she called around to some nearby locations and got us another room to stay in and gave us the same amenties at her location on top of it. Super amazing at making you feel like they wanted you there!

A four star hotel closed at 2 pm. No staff . Just husband and wife that I woke up and lectured me about 4 pm checkin although res said 3 pm.very rude. Hotel was empty and their attitude made me leave.i was afraid to sleep there. It reminded me about the movie shining with jack nicholson and psycho.NOT a 4 star hotel. Less than motel 6 or less.

Absolutely no customer service - as a gold Expedia member I travel a lot probably the rudest money grubbing people I have ever encountered and should sell their property and make a career in money laundering. They were disgusted I booked through Expedia for one, our room was made for Hansel and Gretel - bathroom reaked and there were health and safety violations throughout including smashing your head on low beams - not at all accessible to anyone with children or the elderly and finally it felt like we were intruding on a family home - the family of the owners gathered at night (10-12) and threw back a bottle of Jack Daniels in the lounge while casting side glances at us to get out. Lastly Romanians protested corruption this weekend in Bucharest - their march should have started at the Belvedere! I have so much more to tell and to fellow Expedians I only stayed here one night !! Avoid this place and Expedia should reconsider their listing of it .

Poor service

We were looking forward to staying at this hotel for the nice views but it's nothing like the pictures, the rooms are very small and outdated and the reception/bar smell like smoke, the pool is a quarter size of that it looks in the pictures and the guy from the reception was rude from the beginning. I would not recommend for people to stay here and they refused to give me my money back.

Be careful, nothing like the pictures, terrible

Since the rating of the hotel is very high we were expecting to enjoy the hotel facilities. in reality:
The pictures are deceiving! The hotel manager is very rude and in-polite. when we asked for clean towels she argued with us asking if at home we change every day, saying it is the against the hotel policy to change towels every day. It was written in the room but only in Romanian (!) The pool is tiny. we wanted to use the Gym. we were told that we have 1 hour a day. When we said that we want to go they said that they need to fix it first so only in half an hour. we ave up. Breakfast is served 8:30-9:30 even during the weekend. One positive thing- breakfast was good (if you ignore the small window of opportunity to have it)

Perfect Getaway!

The staff here is incredible. Kind, accommodating, hard working, and always looking out for the guests' comfort. The Inn is very charming and run by a wonderful family who went above and beyond in terms of customer service. The Bran Belvedere is located in a scenic countryside, and is only a 30 minute walk into Bran! If I ever find myself in Romania again, I will definitely stay at the Bran Belvedere!

Nice place to stay

I have a high standard of cleanliness. Our room was clean, maintained well, and had a great view of the mountains. The family that owns and operates it is very nice and was a pleasure to talk too. Only draw back is it is about 1 mile from the shops and cafes. However, a nice 15 min walk through a neighborhood or there are cabs to call.

Lovely hotel nested in a nice mountain area.

I chose this hotel due to its location in Bran, as I wanted to hike across two different mountains (Piatra Craiului and Bucegi). The hotel is located above Bran, in a location which has superb views of the mountains. While it has a great access road, the place is quiet, since there is not much traffic (and I was there on a busy holiday weekend). The hotel is very well maintained, and managed by the owners, which are very invested personally. I was very impressed from the warm welcome at check in and through the whole stay. There is plenty of hiking in the area, from strenuous long distance (I am a mountain runner) to leisurely hikes. The hotel has mountain bikes for rent, tennis court, mini soccer field, and a small pool.
My first hike started early morning; the receptionist gave me a fairly thorough mountain safety check. The owners made sure I returned from the hike. They told me how in the past they called mountain rescue services themselves if guests did not return on time.

Friendly hotel in beautiful surroundings

When I arrived it was almost dark but I received a great welcome with palinka! Tomas the owner and his wife were friendly and chatted over a few drinks. The belvedere is simple enough to find and has plenty of parking, and is close to the mountains and Bran town. I went for a trip up to the bear sanctuary which was amazing, I will return again for some hiking in the future.

Very Nice and Small

The hotel is basically a big bed and breakfast. Bran is a very small town and most tourists do not stay the night, so this small hotel had no other travelers besides my family, so we had the hotel to ourselves. The rooms are very nice, the bathrooms are very large as well. The one downside is that the showers are small and leak a little. The family that runs the hotel were very nice and made us a very nice breakfast that consisted of eggs and sausages. It's sort of hard to find if you don't have a map, but it's in a very quit neighborhood with a really nice garden. I would definitely recommend staying here for a short time, but besides one or two days, the city doesn't have that much to offer besides the castle. It would be easier to stay in Brasov if you are going to be looking at different locations in Transylvania.

The staff is very friendly. An 'at home' kind of feeling. A little off the main road but so quiet, it's worth looking for. The breakfast was excellent and the room very comfortable. Well under priced in my opinion.

beautiful place :)

we went there on Oct 1, when they had the first snow in over 80 yr.

We had no clothing for the weather, but we made the best of it. Our experience on with Thomas and Nina Vlad and Romeo , the owners and their sons was amazing. We were the only guest cause we went during the week and during a snow storm, but it was great.....we had the opportunity to spend time with them and get to know the family. Very nice people and made us feel so comfortable.

The hotel was great and the view of the mountains was amazing :), and very close to the Castel Bran. We will recommend this hotel to anyone.

Thank you guys for your hospitality

部屋は広くてテラスもあり、広いジェットバスもあったのでまあまあ良かったかなと思いましたが、レストランがあると記載されていたのでディナーを楽しみにしていたのに、現地に着いたら、ホテル内の電気は消えていて、やってるのかな？と思うほど暗くて、レストランも空いてませんでした。

ホテルの周りにはお店もなく夕飯を食べることができなかったので、売店で飲み物を18レイ購入したのですが、50レイを渡したらお釣りがないと言われました。翌日お釣りをくれるとのことでしたが、チェックアウトの時に誰もいなかったので返してもらえませんでした…

予約したのは朝食込みのプランだっのですが、朝食も有料で朝の7時になっても誰もいない状態で、結局朝食を取らないままチェックアウトしました。

部屋もランプに蜘蛛の巣があったりして、清潔感はありません。

夜から朝に掛けてホテルの人はいないみたいなので…何かあった場合結構困ると思います。

正直お勧めできません。
