Odkryj pobyt w mieście Timisoara

We booked a room in the hotel for an overnight stay as we were traveling to our final destination in the south of Romania. The hotel room was clean and quite big. Though we arrived after 11 PM we found hot water to have a shower for both myself and my partner ( it's always annoying when arriving in a hotel and there is no how water). We found also a parking place right next to the hotel even if we arrived late. Another advantage for us was that the hotel has 24/7 reception as anybody who needs to cross the border knows that you can never estimate that time. They have also the possibility to have breakfast in the morning which is not included in the hotel price. The offer for the breakfast was quite good ranging from eggs to different types of cheese and hams and so on. Overall if you want to eat well in the morning the breakfast they are offering is a good variety. The hotel is not centrally located so maybe I wouldn't recommend it to somebody who wants to visit Timisoara ( unless they want to take the car and drive) but for us as a stop along our way the location was perfect - close to the highway and the gas station and easy to get in an out of the cities outskirts.

I was only for one night to sleep and breakfast there, but it was all fine. The parking is large, safe and for free, the friendly receptionist has waited extra for me although the check was late. The hotel is close to the center and is still quietly located around the corner there is a tanker and a McDonalds. Breakfast was very good, even Moussaka there was! I can actually not criticize anything, it was for the price everything as hoped!

THE GOOD. The staff was very nice, friendly, helpful with what they could. Very good location, clean, silent. 10-15 walking distance from any interesting location. The restaurant was the best (I experienced) in town. There is a nice swimming pool, not warmed, too cool for end of May. Plenty of parking room!!! THE NOT SO GOOD. There is no room service, hence this is not a 4* hotel, as advertised. The dinning room is outside the hotel, so in a rainy day one has to walk and get wet. I would not want to fully dress during a winter stay just to have my morning coffee. In the room, the air conditioning worked as a fan. The safe was broken. The reception desk was kind, but could offer no solution. After two night, for extra pay, we got an ”apartment”, with a terrace without a table to put a glass on. The Venetian blinds were partially functioning. The air conditioning dead. The next day someone fixed it. In the bathroom one bulb did not work. I fixed it. The shower flexible tubing was damaged, it was difficult to hold it. In the rooms there were no paper an pen to take notes. The phone function buttons did not work, so I had to guess ”0” is the reception. The room had to entrances. One via the elevator, but they had only one key for two persons. The other, with an electronic key usable only after exiting the elevator and climbing the stairs one floor. As I said, this is not a 4* environment. The management should pay more attention to maintenance details. One day the restaurant staff were ”stiff” and stressed, very unusual. One whispered me ”The boss is here”. I was sad.

We have stayed at the Hotel Timisoara hotel many times in the past, and all the times we have been there have been good. We were greeted by a friendly receptionist, who helped us out. We had two rooms, they were both really nice. The beds were really comfortable. The spa area is really nice, and the pool is very good. The bar area was also very good, and the food there was really nice.

We spent two nights at the Hotel Reghina Blue. We have some very positive comments about some features and enjoyed our stay, but it could easily have been made much better. The hotel is situated further than we anticipated from the city centre. It is a good half hour's walk to Victory Square. We discovered later that there is a useful tram line (no 6) but there was no information about this at the hotel. There is free parking in front of the hotel and in a car park at the side. The hotel is modern and is decorated with interesting old photos of Timisoara buildings of the past. Our room was large with plenty of space for our luggage. It was clean and stylish. The bed was a little firmer than I like. The bedside lamps did not direct light to the bed and so it was not possible to read in bed, and it was necessary to get out of bed to turn them on and off. Otherwise it was a pleasant and comfortable room. The bathroom was fine and the shower worked well. Wifi was free and the signal was strong. On our first night we dined in the hotel. We had only just arrived in Romania and did not have any local currency and so thought it would be easiest. We had a very decent meal. The atmosphere was somewhat lacking as we were almost the only people there, but the hotel could not do anything about that. Breakfast was included in the price and was a self-service buffet. Some of it was very good: cold meat and cheese, bread, cakes and fruit. The hot offering was less appealling. It looked as if the fried eggs had been on display since the restaurant opened at 7am and were still there an hour later. The sausages, too, were lukewarm. If these items had not been present I would have thought it an excellent breakfast. The staff could have been more helpful. Only the breakfast waiter made an effort to be welcoming to guests. We found on our first evening that the safe in our room was not working. Perhaps it needed new batteries. We told the receptionist who came to have a look. She was not able to solve the problem herself and said she would get someone to come and deal with it the next day, but this never happened. We were given a map of the city which was very useful but we were given incorrect information when we asked about changing money and buying a ”vignette” to allow us to drive in Romania. We were directed to a bank along the road but this was closed and looked as if it had closed down a long time previously. Fortunately a very helpful lady in the travel office next door helped us to buy a vignette online and directed us to a nearby exchange office. The staff in the hotel really should have done this. They could also have told us about the tram mentioned earlier in this review. We only found out about it when we went to the tourist information office in the centre of the city. There was a pleasant courtyard garden and an outdoor swimming pool which we would have enjoyed if we had visited in the summer.
