Hotels in Constanţa: prices and the best time to book

When booking in Constanţa costs least

The year splits sharply here. The peak is high summer, July and August, when the water warms up for swimming, the air reaches thirty degrees and the nightly average jumps to roughly 890-1,130 lei, several times above winter. January is cheapest at about 140 lei a night, roughly half below the rest of the year. Early spring is the other cheap stretch, when you tour the city without crowds and the monuments and museums run as usual. One quirk sets Constanţa apart from ordinary resorts: the weekend is not dearer here, and often costs less. A night from Sunday to Thursday averages about 700 lei, while a Friday or Saturday runs about 390 lei, because outside the beach season the port's business traffic drives the rates. Book well ahead, ideally around three months. The lowest rates, about 125 lei, show up roughly eighty-six days before arrival, while six weeks out can cost many times more.

Nightly rates by property type

The spread comes from one city holding studios for budget travellers, guesthouses in the Old Town tenements and hotels with conference facilities for the port's visitors. Rough nightly rates:

Rough figures for a double room; they shift with dates and standard. In July and August add several times more than in winter. Check the real rate for your dates in the search box above.

Where to stay in Constanţa

The Old Town on the peninsula is the best base for a first visit, because Ovid Square, the casino, the museums and the seafood restaurants all sit within a walk, and a car is pointless. Most properties, though, cluster in the Tomis 2 district just behind the historic centre, and that is where most searches land. For quiet, pick Faleza Nord along the coast, near the Natural Sciences Museum Complex with its planetarium. Further north run Tomis Nord and Modern Beach, while business guests sleep by the port and Bulevardul Ferdinand, with the station and the airport road at hand. Neighbouring Mamaia is its own story, with broad sand and a water park, reached by bus along the coast.

Which hotel suits whom in Constanţa

• Families. Faleza Nord and the beach areas give shallow water and wide sand, and the programme fills up with the aquarium, the planetarium and animal micro-reserve at the Natural Sciences Museum Complex, the Aqua Magic water park in Mamaia and the paths around the lake in Tabacariei Park, which take a pushchair.
• Couples. A room in the Old Town puts you by Ovid Square, where fish restaurants run inside 19th-century buildings and the promenade leads to the casino in the evening. Villa Anticus and Belle Epoque Boutique take adults only.
• With breakfast. Properties with a morning buffet start at about 360 lei, for example EKA Residence, while Millennium Hub and Hotel Malibu hold the upper end.
• By the airport. Several hotels run a free shuttle to Mihail Kogălniceanu, for example Paradox Oituz from about 380 lei or Hotel Scapino from about 665 lei.
• On business. A base by the port or on Bulevardul Ferdinand gives you routes to the offices and the station, and hotels with conference facilities, such as Bavaria Blu, keep meeting rooms and workspaces.

When Constanţa gets pricier

Everything turns around the beach. From June to August the temperature holds between twenty-five and thirty degrees, bars and water sports appear on the sand, and the clubs open in the evening, among them Le Gaga and Fratelli. That is when coastal hotels cost the most all year, and July and August beat the rest of the calendar outright. Outside summer the city slows down and shows its other face: ancient Tomis, the museums and the casino stand there all year, and in January you pay a fraction of the summer rate. In spring it is worth adding a trip to Tulcea, where boats set off into the Danube Delta.
