Lonely Planet review

On a quiet lane amidst 16th-century citadel wall fragments, the happy, superbly run Retro is one of Romania's best hostels. Two colourful dorm rooms upstairs have gold walls, moonlight windows, and sunshiny bedspreads. Things are a little tight (only a couple of bathrooms, and one private room is accessible through the other private). When things are full, it opens its second location nearby - there are 48 beds in all.

At research time, the Retro was planning to open four more private rooms. Staff offer good-value day trips, sell area maps, and all's clean. Half an hour's internet access is free, while breakfast is around 3.50.
