Radisson Blu Aurum Hotel, Brasov

Radisson Blu Aurum Hotel, Brasov

10/10 Excellent
"The Radisson Blu Aurum Hotel Brasov was in the perfect location — seconds from the medieval old town, Council Square, the Black Church, and all the other important sights. The hotel room was huge and had all the amenities, including: vanity kits, shower caps, coffee and tea, robes and slippers, a desk and chairs, a hair dryer, and a super comfortable bed. My husband and I spent 21 days in Romania, staying in 13 hotels across 13 cities, and this hotel was among the top three."
