Hotel Capra — Hotel in Arefu

I do not recommend anyone to go there now!!!! The hotel is located in a very picturesque place, the hotel building is also quite beautiful. The rooms are of average quality and quite worn and old. We paid for the room in advance, and when we got to the hotel, it turned out that there were construction/landscape works going on around it with the use of heavy and very loud techniques (excavators, dump trucks).

I forgot to note the man's name, but he's the BEST WAITER I have seen in a long time. He was friendly, smiling, respectful and he really seemed to be enjoying his job. He gave useful information concerning the Romanian food and even proposed to pay for our meal in case the lack of wifi in the mountains would make a payment by card impossible. He trusted us to wire him the money later. In the end the payment went through without a problem. Our 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ waiter deserves a round of...
