Nice Spot
This hotel is historic and has cool details, and is located very close to the old town square. The bathroom was clean, the breakfast buffet was ample, the hotel is pet-friendly, which is a bonus for me, and the staff was friendly and helpful. If you forget to reserve parking at the hotel in advance, there's a Regina Maria parking garage 10 mins walk away. My only negative was that the bed wasn't the most plush...it was just a thin mattress. But I was exhausted and slept fine regardless.

Casa Chitic is the perfect location for staying in Braşov. The homey feel, great service and tranquil surroundings made it an excellent choice for a vacation in the old city.
Want to mention Catalin at the front desk for his help.

Refurbished hotel
Had an email to say thecreception was closing at 8, so got a taxi from station just in time. Spacious ground floor room, and reasonable breakfast. Lots of steps, but I expect thats what you get when refurbishing an old building. Staff very helpful.

Nice stay
Nice, clean hotel close to most everything. Stairs only if you’re have lots of luggage. The mattress was a bit stiff. Breakfast was OK, nothing great. Get coffee elsewhere.

The Hotel is great and the location can’t be better. All main attractions, restaurants and bars are close by. The breakfast was also very good and personnel helpful and kind. I would have wished to received information about parking limitations. The day of arrival there was a Folk Fest in town so parking was a nightmare. At the end we found a spot. Apart from that everything great.

Okay stay, but left window open.
Overall it was good. There are no door signs for opting for no cleaning, so I informed front desk for no cleaning especially for second day only. And I had my stuff all over the room. However, cleaning lady came anyway. It would've been okay, but she left the window open! I was alarmed over this as it could've rained! I explicitly told front desk again to not touch the room, esp if they leave the window open, which was a concern for me.
