An unhealthy cottage, with primitive staff, which survives for the simple reason that there are not many accommodation options in Padis. I rarely have the mood to stay in a tent, the lack of a bathroom is a major inconvenience, as there is no official campsite in the area.||To describe the last experience at Brădet.||Lunch: I had the classic pork neck with french fries, not to demand too much from the cook's talent. The meat was on the verge of spoiling, and the potatoes looked frozen, or reheated from the day before. 1 neck with 2 servings of potatoes and 2 soups (the only edibles), plus a small Sprite and a small mineral water, 89 lei. Expensive for the village and execrable.||Room: since we entered we smelled sewage in the bathroom, but we were told it was the only one available. The bathroom had a fan, I turned it on and went on a route, hoping it would be better when we will return. But the smell intensified, the fan may have absorbed more stench from the pipes. We washed quickly, forcibly, and closed the bathroom door, putting a wet towel over the drain. It didn't help, overnight the smell became unbearable, both my wife and I woke up, we opened the window, which opened only oscillatingly, not completely, so as not to die asphyxiated, it was cold outside, but the smell was not at least diminished. Room price 200 lei, mind-boggling for a torture chamber.||That none of the staff of the boarding house wore a mask, not even under the nose, even though the receptionist was coughing up like TB (or Covid19?) and told my wife that she did not sleep because her child had a fever at night, there are already details. The stench in which I slept / lay suffocated in bed one night surpassed any virus.||We ran the next day. No possibility for card payment,...
Read moreUnbeknownst to me I was put in the Harry Potter room. The cupboard under the stairs. This is a room that Harry was put in as punishment yet I was actually way overcharged to stay here. It was worth about 25 lei but I paid twice that. I was on a tight budget and had they told me before that stampedes of elephants would be walking over my head all day and night, I would have paid the extra 10 lei for the ensuite room at the end of the hall instead of the windowless hole that at first had issues with the light switch staying on then later the bulb blew. When I complained the woman got angry and yelled at me saying the other room was now occupied and she would give me my money back. Unfortunately at this point it was late in the day on a Saturday in the summer and everything was booked so I had no choice but to stay there. The Internet only works in the restaurant area. The restaurant food is mediocre at best and over priced at that. The bathrooms for the restaurant are quite nice but the ones for the rooms are tiny and awful. Avoid...
Read moreThe nature around is impressive but the holiday village is pretty underdeveloped from a touristy point of view, the premises itself offers a hotel , on site restaurant, parking and small wooden cabins were they allow pets as well, if you go for the wooden cabin it has two or four bunked beds, a table , one outlet and a light source, it reminded me a lot of a train sleeping cart, the toilet and shower are in common around 50 yards away from the cabins, to my surprise although everything was pretty basic it was clean and well maintained, the staf was warm and helpful, the price for a night in a four bed cabin was 80 Ron which is roughly 20 USD, bear in mind that even if we stayed in early June weather can be pretty cold, specially in the night , a sleeping bag and appropriate outdoorwear is...
