La Vie Guest House — Hotel in Blaj

The guesthouse is located on a hill near Blaj, with vineyards around. The staff is nice, friendly. The room was large with a large bathroom and a big balcony. The view was fantastic, hills, a village and the mountains far to the right. Everything was clean. Bed was large, we had a good sleep. It was very warm during cold weather. Pool included and the pool had warm water, it was nice. The price of room with breakfast is a good deal. The drinks are quite cheap. Breakfast was very simple with basic supermarket products on Saturday morning but better with some local yoghurt on Sunday. Accommodation was overall OK, issues were related to extras like spa or restaurant. The spa needs serious maintenance : the room has not reacted well to humidity, rust and water inflitrations and mold. Sauna was not prepared and actually not working, then nobody made it work. The restaurant is not proper value for size and quality, it is overpriced (small portion of beans with pork at 35 ron - you get a whole pork shank in other places for similar pro w-, beef with mustard sauce and polenta at 47 ron for something like a stew where basic polenta with some crated cheese is called bulz). Citronade juice totally bitter, probably done with orange peel like someone else also mentioned. House wine served at room temperature. A bit much to pay full breakfast for kid aged 7, considering what he eats, but no extra fee was taken for room to be fair. Bathroom door squeaks and if someone goes during the night, easy to wake up. More covid protection measures to be enforced, staff quite negligent about this. Sunday morning empty beer bottles left at table near reception...

The good:|Pool good but quite hard to get in and out of (ladder to enter) |Wifi is fast which is good as mobile signal (at least roaming) not great.|The aircon is very effective. You need to make use of the fly mesh on the balcony door, otherwise lots of flying insects will come in. |Mini-bar fridge is useful, but normal for this class of hotel||The bad:|Room fairly spartan - no chair, only a footstool. No seat even on the balcony|Shower has no door so whole room gets wet. Separate single beds not good if you are a couple.|Food - breakfast is limited with very little fresh fruit or veg. The restaurant had good soup, otherwise we didn't eat there as the kitchen closed at 10.|Mainly for weddings - if a "night wedding" is booked it will go on until 5 am at least. Earplugs were provided on check-in. It does make the quiet rural location fairly irrelevant with such loud music all day / evening. |Lack of information provided to guests - when is breakfast, when is the...
