Spot Cozy Hostel started operations in November 2014 and have managed to turn a 1920s house into one of the coziest places you’d want to be. Everything from the painted decorations inside the house, to the artsy collage of old magazine clips, the lamps and the lovely backyard, gives you the feeling of hanging out at your friend’s house rather than an accommodation spot away from home.

Convenience meets comfort

You can choose to stay either in a 12-bed, 8-bed or 6-bed dorm, or in a private room. All are clean, cozy and spacious enough to make you feel comfortable. You can have breakfast in the shared kitchen, which offers everything from a fridge, stove, coffee machine, plates and dishes. Breakfast is included in the price, but you can bring your own groceries and prepare your own meals if you feel like cooking.

Make friends with other guests

There’s a spacious lounge in the common area where you can hang out with other guests and the hosts (including one golden retriever, a pug and a red cat), play games, watch TV, play the guitar or just have a drink and make new friends. There’s also a library where you can find different books and you can take one with you if you leave one there. The terrace is a beautiful place to sip your morning coffee.

Free walking tour

If you want to take a walking tour of the city, the hosts are happy to show you around at no extra charge. More free services include Wi-Fi, breakfast, tea, coffee, a city map, clothing iron, slippers and hairdryer. Extra services include laundry and you can rent electric & tandem bikes, hammocks and longboards.

Located in the Grigorescu neighborhood, Spot Cozy Hostel a 15-minute walk away from the center through the main park of the city. If you’re coming to Cluj-Napoca by train, you can take the #27 bus from the train station and it’ll drop you very close to the hostel, at the “14 iulie” station.

Old-school hospitality

The Spot Cozy Hostel is also a great choice if you don’t want to mingle with party people (the garden terrace closes at 11 pm) and instead want a comfortable place to stay with a relaxing and positive vibe. The garden and the hammocks add a special touch to the whole place and it’s very easy to get downtown; the bus stop is one minute away.

Right outside the hotel, there’s a small restaurant called Fairplay where you can sample some traditional food, like mamaliga with sarmale (porridge made out of yellow maize flour and stuffed cabbage rolls) or tripe soup. The main park is also 10 minutes away from the hostel. You can take a walk along the Somes River, which is just a few minutes away.
