I had spent my first two nights in Timișoara at the Ibis hotel, but I decided to switch to a more thrifty option on my final night as I was leaving it at 02:30 to get a taxi to the hotel. The staff member at the reception desk was friendly and it all felt an efficiently run operation.

This is some retro look, I really rather liked it, although it’s likely looked like this for around three decades. Chunky wooden furniture which I imagine would be a right faff to remove, but it’s all got a certain style and I’ve glad that it’s still here

The room was clean, tidy, warm and in a period of its own. However, for the money, which was just over £20 a night including the hotels.com discount, it represented excellent value for money. The bathroom was basic, but functional, with no noise issues either internally or externally.

Here’s what it looks like at 02:30….
