We spent 3 nights at Pensinuea Ela in Sibiu this April while visiting Romania. The owner, Ela, is an absolutely wonderful, welcoming person. She greeted us with hugs and great advice about places to visit. There is breakfast (bread, jelly, meats, yogurt) available for 5 euro extra a day- which is nice.

This is a clean, picturesque, quiet, and pleasant hotel, and offers pretty good value for money. More

My husband and I wandered over to Pensiunea Ela unannounced at about 8 at night while on honeymoon. Despite looking very confused when we rang the bell, the owners quickly led us around their pension and set us up with a room.

Garden area for reading, writing, relaxing. Good Romanian breakfast. The pension is in a historic neighborhood that is a nice 7 minute walk from the main squares. More

Worst part was the quality of service and the attitude of the owner lady. Good: - brilliant location - clean - decent sized rooms - quiet Bad:... More
