Secret Transylvania are a local company who managed to answer all our ‘very many’ questions and their flexibility around itineraries and local knowledge was outstanding. Our initial goal had been to spend a night in an Ice Hotel, which was a brilliant experience! Being Transylvania though, we also got to do ‘the Dracula thing’. Having a wonderful night out in...

I went to the Ice Hotel as part of an Untravelled Paths package. Just when I thought my holiday couldn't get any better, we got out of the gondola. Blue sky, the mountain sparkled. Amazing. Such an incredible set up but most of all, so much fun. The staff were lovely- very welcoming, encouraged us to explore the themed rooms... More

A crowd of us had a great overnighter at the Ice Hotel in March. No snow at the bottom of the Cable Car, so we were a bit dissapointed at first, but when you get to the top, the views were stupendous, and there was plenty of snowup there! After spending a while watching the crazy off-piste skiers from the... More

We stumbled across this hotel when looking at Ice Hotels. What made this appealing to us was that it was cheaper than the Sweden Ice Hotel, less 'touristy' and 'only accessible by cable car. We booked our stay with Secret Transylvania which I will do a seperate review on. Our cable car ride up was very scenic and we did... More

We were looking to get away for a long weekend to do something exciting and different without spending too much money. Someone suggested the ice hotel in Sweden but the prices were far too expensive and we couldn't justify the price tag. After some research we found the ice hotel in Romania with Untravelled Paths which was great value for... More

We spotted this on Facebook but instead of taking the 3 day offer we booked through www.secrettransylvania.co.uk and had one nights stay. This was a much better idea as there isn't a great deal to do and a day and night up there does the trick. We actually stayed in the hotel next to it as we have a 2yr... More

We were actually looking into an Ice Hotel stay in Scandinavia when we discovered that Transylvania has one. After checking out everything thoroughly we were really happy with our choice of location and tour operator and realized our short break was going to be ‘good value’ …. However we didn’t realize what an understatement that was!! You have to experience... More

Spent one night at Ice Hotel as part of a 4 night break with Secret Transylvania who were a fantastic holiday company - nothing was too much trouble. The Ice Hotel was a chilly experience but I slept well as I dressed appropriately and there were sleeping bags and covers provided. Very interesting to see the ice sculptures in the... More
