Aterman House

We had fresh, tasty food, though ours was a little undercooked. It came out incredibly quickly, and the staff were polite and attentive. The place was clean, and while prices were a bit above average, it’s a very nice stop on a long ride.

The evening staff made us feel so welcome that we decided to stay the night after stopping on a whim. The tall blond lady from Fagaras was especially lovely. Our room was clean and had plenty of heat, an en suite bathroom, towels, and a balcony. It was a special-rate 100RON, about £20, which felt fairly cheap. The heating was running a bit too hot, but I’m sure they could turn it down if asked. The beds were twins, so we put a duvet between them to make room for our small child. We enjoyed the traditional food that evening, and the friendly, welcoming evening staff were the main reason I gave five stars. The owners were there for a function and seemed like friendly, hard-working people. They also keep their own bee hives and sell honey at reception, so we bought some as gifts for our family. The morning staff seemed disinterested, which surprised us, and breakfast wasn’t very good. Still, we were happy we’d stopped and enjoyed our stay.

The bean soup was good, and so was the grill.

The food is decent, and the service is really kind. Prices are very fair too. I haven’t tried the hotel, but if you’re in the area, this is your best option.
