Cabana Pietrele

We had a great time at cabana Pietrele - perfect location for hikes and serves hot food. Accommodation was good for a mountain cabin. You have to leave your car in the carpark and hike for an hour and half to get to it. You also have to pay to enter Retezat National Park (10lei per person) Food - hot soup every day with a choice of two mains and pickled salad. Beer and țuică for alcohol. Otherwise tea and soft drinks. Accommodation - rooms with two single beds, I would recommend bringing ear plugs as people arrive from their hikes at different times Also advised to bring a headlight/torch Cold water only for showers Electricity from 8-10pm only but this is enough to charge your phone for a whole day. The area doesn't have any signal anyway so you won't be using your phone for anything except pictures. You can hike up to cabana gențiana for signal.

place looked closed from the outside, however after opening the door and shouting a view times the owner showed up and prepared a delicious soup for us. Room was very nice two comfy single beds in one small room with a window for 60 RON, PP.

Vila Stânişoara offers excellent accommodation conditions: clean and organized WC and shower facilities on the ground floor, individual rooms, and electricity provided for 2 hours each evening. The dining room serves three meals a day. The friendly caretaker is always ready to chat about Retezat and life. It's easy to set off on numerous trails from here.

Very good food, very nice people. This is the starting point for your summer hike. The cabana is opened only from june till end of august. In the area there is NO phone service (network, signal...), that's why nobody will answer. Please make a reservation only by message and wait for the confirmation. Try at least one month before your reservation.

Simple hospitality with hard work. They have a Turkish WC at a half Kilometer distance of the canteen. The Camping place is situated one km from here and it's somehow hard to find a plane spot to mount your tent... There are no toilets near this parking place, but you have a water source nearby the "Salvamont" cabin. At the canteen they serve a good bean soup with pork, grilled meat with potatoes, beer, chocolate, coffee. For breakfast you can choose between eggs or Vrșli sausages . The electricity is available only for two hours in the evenings. You can call them to reserve a cabin room at the price of 60 Ron/ person in 2023, but the conditions are not too much better than those in a tent.

Mixed experience! The place is beautifully located in the mountains and well linked to different hiking routes. The huts are very basic but marginally more comfortable than camping. The staff are quite rude and unhelpful. There is no shower (we washed in the freezing cold stream) and the toilets are disgusting with no soap or paper. The food is ok but the kitchen is a little unreliable and based on the whims of the guy who works there.

Great location to go for day trips! Reasonably priced at 25 RON/night/person at a micro cabin. Don't expect anything fancy but after an exhausting hike you'll be more than greatful to get a decent meal, drink and place to sleep! ;-)

The hut is exactly what you need after long hike. Dry, warm place to sleep. Good starting point for hikes in Retezat mountains. The place is not for those who expect luxury hotel though.
