I stayed there on several occasions. The hotel is decent, and the rooms are OK in size. While there's not much to do in Durau, if you choose to go hiking on the mountain (I recommend going at least as high as the Fantanele chalet or to the Duruitoarea waterfall; the more brave can hike to the Dochia chalet, it takes about 8 hours to get there and then back to Durau - totally worth the effort!) you will definitely return pretty much busted.

Also there are little beds and large beds... But I advise you to ask for a large one. The only good part is that the hotel is very close to...
Read moreI was here being invited to attend a conference, so I have no idea about the accomodation costs. the place is rated at three stars, and it deserves them. It's clean and rooms are not very large. It has no elevator. There is a free parking. Beware of breakfast - the coffee is not that good, and the chef seems to be a fan of frying: scrambled eggs, sausages, fried bacon, all were served at breakfast. There is free wifi, but only in the hotel lobby, where the reception is. Anyway, a good place to stay and have...
