Review 20：I definitely plan to come back! Beautiful view /cozy bed /delicious food /very clean/ wonderful staff and owners.Its indeed a 4 star hotel.

Review 21：My partner and I absolutely loved this little villa. It has spectacular views and AMAZING food. Make sure you eat at their restaurant because it will exceed your expectations. My partner said that their grilled chicken is the best chicken he ever ate, and I can say the same about the fish. The view of Bran castle is so beautiful from the balcony outside the restaurant. The staff are lovely and very attentive, we've felt like they took very good care of us. It was such a nice retreat and we will definitely return when visiting Romania next time.

Review 22：Great experience I liked everything-good food,the room,the view,Bernie the saint-bernard dog,the friendly staff and owners. I noticed it was very clean and good quality appliances.

Review 23：There is no view of the castle from the window!!! There is no rooms with the view! You can see the castle only if you are out side! The manager showed no respect for me he talk not nice: "what do yo want? It's 10 lei I'll give you back 10 lei. We put information about view because of people's searching all people want the view..." There is no view on the castle!!!!! The shower was broken. The water was in the floor in all bashroom because of broken shower cabin. They gave us towels to put on the floor with water!!!! It was not floor it was swimming pool ! The manager told "what do you want?!, it's a shower, there is water when you are in the shower!" I asked him come with me, he was really not nice with me, like I'm not his client. He told that he cat check shower in all rooms so he can't know if something is broken... There is no "man who can do something with the shower".... In the and the manager was repairing the shower but it did not work exactly. It was mistake to choose this hotel just because a view on a castle ( there is NO view!) Location is bed not close to castle and you need walk by the saw terrible road. everything could be ok but the manager did'n know the words : Sorry , what can I do for you? We will do our best. The woman ( they didn't told us names) she was second manager, she told "sorry" and explains us that she is traveling in all the world and stay in best biggest hotels in the world and it's normal to find broken shower in you room - in style best biggest hotels in the world... Too bad so sad... צבת שקרנים וחוצפנים מדברים לא יפה עם לקוחות! Люди не їдьте туди. Немає там виду на замок, душ не працює, менеджер хамло. Nie fainie w tym miescu proshe państwo wybierzac coś liepiej. Есть много отелей в Бране. Этот отель врунов и хамов.

Review 24：- unfortunately the tap in the bathroom was seriously leaking

Review 25：- nice location (not so easy to find especially in winter) - beautiful view - each two rooms have a shared living room with a nice balcony and a fireplace - overly friendly stuff :)

Review 26：Breakfast is served only after 9 o'clock. The road to the hotel is not paved, if it rains you cannot get out of the hotel by foot. The view to the castle is not great, the castle is quite far from hotel.

Review 27：The suite was big, clean, looked new. The jacuzzi was in good shape. The staff was very welcoming and offered all needed assistance.

Review 28：The fact that after I made the reservation they called me to tell me that the room was actually not available and then called booking.com to tell them I wanted to cancel the reservation although it was the other way around. Extremely unprofessional. Liar attitude! Plus the 1km to the hotel were off road and the access was poor! The room was noisy. No sound proof. The shower was flooding the whole bathroom!!! Dissapointing

Review 29：Nothing

Review 30：The room with a view of the castle was not a direct view, you had to peek around the balcony, however, I have to say this didn't detract from the experience, the room was very nice. The region has a lot of dogs wandering the streets, and they can howl and bark a lot throughout the nights, given we were next to Dracula's Castle, this simply added to the spook-tacle!

Review 31：The hotel is situated in the Bran valley, overlooking Bran Castle, the view is great from the terrace, the staff were polite and accommodating, and the food was also pretty good.

Review 32：They don't have enough staff and by that i mean is not possible that the reception guy is also waiter and also luggage guy . . and who knows what else !!!!

Review 33：A nicr quiet area with a beautiful landscapes .Excelent rooms with all facilities. Private parking .excelent food .. also a beautiful dog "bernie". It is a place that for shure i will visit again.

Review 34：Rooms not really clean The smell from the bathroom Poor quality TV, electricity instalation The road to the location almost brocked my car

Review 37：location is very good for Bran view to castle and country side very kind staff delicious lamb and beef for dinner nice & cosy rooms very good for relaxing ))

Review 38：road to the caban is a little bit bumpy.

Review 39：Located on the side way at the bottom of a hill, quiet place, great quality service, exceptional view towards Bran castle. Food is great, rooms are exceptional, small balcony where you can sip morning coffee. WiFi available with hogh speed; streamed a HD movie. Great for a city break!

Review 40：- We chose a room with twin beds through booking.com (it was not a special request, it was an available bed option that you can choose while you reserve your room) But the hotel said there is only room with a queen bed available.

Review 41：+ The staff was friendly and helpful. + Athmosphere was peaceful and relaxing. + Breakfast was great. + Good view from some rooms. + The dog + The road to hotel was not that bad as other reviews emphasized. But it can be exhausting when you go upwards.

Review 42：The road is simply horrible, it is fine for the ones with 4x4 cars, they didn't serve any food after 21,45 though they had room service in their menu, the smell from the bathroom was unaceptable, we had 2 rooms, same issues with the smell in both of them,etc...

Review 92：The drive up to hotel was loose gravel and quite precarious for motorcycles.

Review 93：Owner extremely pleasant and helpful. Beautiful hotel.

Review 94：Valentine, the manager(?) was very friendly and gave us excellent service. The food was excellent, and the portions would make a big eater very happy. Beautiful place to stay, beautiful views, beautiful food, everything was good.

Review 95：We booked a room with a view of Bran Castle, technically true, if you leaned over the balcony.

Review 96：The staff were friendly and made you welcome. That includes the St Bernard dog which is big and daft! The food is very good, we arrived mid afternoon and asked for lunch - no problem. Just a nice place, ask and they will do their best to do what you want.

Review 97：The driveway is very rough, unpaved, difficult to find. The "castle view" was very limited and only from outside on the balcony. The hotel rooms are also connected to the restaurant, so you can hear people in the restaurant from the rooms.

Review 98：Nice staff, excellent restuarant

Review 99：The only disadvantage of the hotel is walking 800m up a very dusty path. But The hotel makes up for this.. Was not keen to leave. We will visit again next time for a few nights.

Review 100：We spent a while looking at different hotels in Transylvania. We picked Contele Vladimir because it had very spacious rooms (including a large bath room with a Jacuzzi) and a good view of Bran castle and surrounding mountains from our balcony. The food at the hotel is amazing.. The hotel also have a very large friendly pet St. Bernard called Bernie. The staff are happy to help. I left two jumper at the hotel, which they have found and have agreed to post back to me.

Review 101："To get there you need to walk 1 km on a dirty street" as another person said. And yes you can take a taxi, but while you are in vacation you want to walk and to enjoy the beautiful views.

Review 102：The room was very clean and the garlic soup served at the restaurant was fantastic !!

Review 103：Breakfast fairly modest (also, no vegetables) and it starts late (9 AM, for people who want to start the day early). To get there, you must walk almost 1 km on a dirt road and it can be frightful at night, because of dogs (although, you can use a taxi).

Review 104：The bed, big room, balcony; fireplace and a living area (common for 4 rooms).

Review 105：The road up to the hotel was very rough in fact it was not a made up road at all.

Review 106：The hotel was very comfortable and staff very helpful. We ate there one evening and the food was excellent, breakfast was also good.
