This hostel is well organized and in a great location, just a few minutes (200 meters?) off the main road and just 5-7 minutes walk from the Old Town square (called "Brasov Council Square on google maps) next to the Black Church. It takes a bit of hunting to find it down a small alley, but there is a sign once you find the alley.||We rented a double room with large bed and private bathroom. The facilities all work well, including the WiFi, heat and hot water. The staff are very helpful and you can pay with a credit card - very convenient. My only complaint is the breakfast (included).

Could use an upgrade to include fruit and juice and some cheese or other protein.||Would consider staying again when in Brasov.||||Note that UBER taxis are available in Brasov and it's 110 Leu to Bran Castle 35 minutes away. Beware of taxis at the train station. They will try to rip you off, asking for 100 Leu or 10 euro for a 10 minute ride to Old Town (where this hostel is located). Don't pay more than 20 Leu.

The rooms are cozy and the vibe is pretty decent, with available material for tourism and socializing. No complaints with the bathroom and showers, they were clean. The Filipino worker there is very helpful, friendly, and she has ready information to help you get to popular nearby attractions such as Bran and Peleş castles, and even how to get to Sighişoara. Communication was also great. She was able to give very detailed intstructions on how to get to the hostel. She made my stay fun and very warm, and we shared lots of stories thanks!
Probably the only thing I didn't like in the hostel was that the kitchen area had some sort of not too pleasant smell. The smell made the overall "cleanliness" aspect of the hostel not too great. I've stayed at hostels where there aren't uny...
