Situated in a pedestrian area inside Cluj-Napoca's mediaeval city wall, Hostel Retro offers 24-hour reception, free bicycles, as well as a sauna for a surcharge. The bathrooms are either shared, located next to the rooms, or en-suite.
Different maps of the region and international telephone cards are provided at the reception. Safe luggage storage is available. The shared lounge features a smart TV and a small library.
Guests of the Retro Hostel can also prepare food in well-equipped shared kitchenettes. Free tea and coffee is offered and so is free WiFi.
Hostel Retro is a 2-minute walk from the Main Square and 500 metres away from the Babes-Bolyai University, the second largest university in Romania. Guests can also visit the Museum of History, the Botanical Garden or the Ethnographic Museum of Cluj.

Guests staying 3 or more nights can use the on-site sauna for free.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 8.8 for a two-person trip.
“The staff was very helpful via email - they aren't always around on site but they respond quickly and go above and beyond. Having bikes included in the stay was a great bonus - I would highly recommend using one to see the city as the bike lanes...”
