Hotel Valea cu Pesti

I would gladly give 5 stars to the lady from the spa – she is kind, professional, and gives an excellent massage. However, I’m giving 3 stars overall because the hotel feels neglected and poorly maintained. It’s not the cleanest place, and the breakfast definitely needs improvement. The food at the restaurant is hit or miss – some dishes were good, others less so. With a bit more attention to detail, this hotel could offer a much better experience.

If I could not give a star, I would. It is the worst hotel I have ever been to. I took a New Year's break with half board. When we arrived at the hotel, we were very happy to enjoy the swimming pool, the cold water, the old and poor food. Every day, the same breakfast as if they were glued, each in its place. Disoriented and inexperienced waiters, they tried to be kind. On New Year's Eve I asked for butter to put on a bun, actually everything was prepared long before, old, hard, dry, only one dish near the end with fish was good. The candy bar was also good, you could see that it is not their merit, but that of a good confectionary. They tried to charge us extra for the lunch bill. At the end, also, there was an extra water at check out. The only nice people were the cleaners, some lovely ladies, I hope they appreciate them because they were. kind When they brought the champagne, they put us a little on the bottom of the glass, if you asked, they refilled it, but it was annoying to ask at the table. Old furniture, small bathrooms with problems: water without pressure, the sink clogs... the linens were clean, cleanliness was... just that everything is old... ugly what you saw on the balcony, a wall, an ugly roof.. .I don't know how it got good reviews, honestly, how it has 4 stars is a mystery to me. We were not the only ones who were unhappy, jokes about the base could be heard from all the tables lacks. I leave this review in the hope that it helps someone in the future, for us the fact is consumed.

The location is very nice with a view over the Vidraru Lake. The service is not very good and if you are a vegetarian you don't fine options at breakfast except tomato cucumber and olives. The pool is small but the bowling alley was great amusement for the children.

The location and the view from the restaurant is great, the staff is very attentive (though very busy and constantly running to cover all the tables so it takes a while to get served), but for a 4* accommodation the food was not even close to being good. My fried lamb was very undercooked and chewy and my partner’s pasta was lacking any flavors.
