Hotels in Braşov: prices, timing and districts
Braşov is one of the most beautiful cities in Transylvania, ringed by the peaks of the Carpathians. The heart of the old town is the wide Council Square with its town hall, and right beside it rises the Gothic Black Church from the 14th century, home to the largest organ in Romania. It is worth walking through Catherine's Gate, visiting Hirscher House and taking the cable car up Mount Tâmpa for a city panorama. From here the mountains are close: the Libearty Bear Sanctuary in Zărnești, the Parc Aventura adventure park and the ski slopes of nearby Poiana Brașov. Sarmale and mămăligă rule the table. Guests usually stay longer here, around nine nights, mixing sightseeing with mountain trips. You walk the compact old town on foot and reach the rest by bus. This list has 2 014 properties, from a cheap guesthouse to a five-star hotel. Below is what really drives the price of a stay in Braşov: the month and day of arrival, the choice of district and the standard of the property.
When to book a stay in Braşov for less
It is cheapest in April and November, between seasons, when tourist traffic eases. It gets priciest in spring and summer, from May to August, when the weather suits hiking in the Carpathians, plus the winter ski season in Poiana Brașov. The day of the week matters: it is usually cheaper on Thursday, while Friday costs the most as the weekend mountain trips begin, so the gap can be quite large. Stays here tend to be longer, around nine nights, as many combine the city with mountain trips.

Where a stay is cheaper or pricier
Guests rate properties in the heart of the old town, near Council Square, the Black Church and Catherine's Gate, most highly, home to hotels such as the Qosmo Brasov at 9.7 or the Radisson Blu Aurum at 9.3, though prices there run the highest. Cosy guesthouses on the edge of the old town also score well, such as Prinz Gregor at 9.3 or Bark Inn at 9.2. It is cheaper and quieter a little way from the centre, around the Aquatic Paradise water park and the mountain approaches, and in apartments a few bus stops from the square. The closer to the old town and the higher the standard, the higher the price. For value, choose the outskirts or a date outside summer.

When Braşov is pricier
Spring and summer, from May to August, are the most expensive, when warm weather suits hiking in the Carpathians and rides up Tâmpa. Winter can be pricey too, during the ski season in Poiana Brașov and in December, when the old town turns into a fairy tale at the Brasov Christmas Market. April and November are the cheapest and quietest, between seasons. Spring and early autumn are a good compromise, with pleasant weather and lower prices and crowds than in high summer.
