Visited Romania for 7 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $112/day. Best part: variety.
Overall: 9/10. Solid destination.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found the outskirts to be better value.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

I'd also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

I was there in February and prices were great value.
Spent about $125/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.
