Best Western Silva Hotel

We were invited to a celebration that was being held here. The banquet was something else to behold. The first course floored us and the soups, as they always are in Romania, were exquisite, we had to stop eating after this point. The cocktails were first class, we had the waiter help recommend them to us and he selected ones to match the food - slightly sour and sharp tasting. Is near a lovely park and very close to the older part of the city making it a good choice. Was impressed.

The hotel says four stars on the front but online says three or three and a half. That sounds more accurate. It is a midrange hotel, definitely not luxurious but acceptable by international standards. Room was a decent size and had a nice balcony overlooking the park. I really loved the location near the huge park even though it was 15-20 minutes walk to the old town. Seems like a good compromise location between city and country. Parking was free but crowded and chaotic and took some effort to get the agent to find me a spot. The AC/heating worked well and though the hotel is old room seemed renovated fairly recently. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, if you like firn which I do. It was overall a good value and good stay but two areas that were less than five stars were the bathroom, which had a mild, nasty sewage smell that some old plumbing systems have and the breakfast. The bread and pastries were not very fresh and the juice was not real. Still, somewhat forgiven because of the good price, good location and great bed
