The Council

The charm of a 13th century administration building refurbished into a hotel preserved the centuries' old aesthetic, located in the historical town center. But the charm only began with the pleasant hotel accommodation and quality breakfast-included that it was. What topped it was the hotel manager, Simona. She gave the place glamour and spark. She spoke to us about her city upon our inquiries. She listened to our cultural interests and gave us advice that made a difference when visiting the town. In hindsight, she was a true-blue tourism advocate for Sibiu, for Transylvania's whispered secrets, and left us a little sad that the we left Romania behind to continue on our Balkans road trip...

The rooms are very old with old smell as well! Breakfast is a joke, for a 4 star hotel, I would expect way more variety! The amenities are also lacking. Again for a 4 star hotel and for the price you are paying, you should be treated with more attention. There is no elevator, I understand since it's in a very old building but I think this could have been mentioned. Location is the only thing worth mentioning, otherwise stay away.

A very good located hotel, nice people but that's all. We came here for 3 days to enjoy the Christmas market as a family with a toddler. The location is right next to the Christmas market so you can easily find restaurant and shops and all the fun. But regardless it wasn't noisy.|The stuff does everything to make you feel welcome, they are nice and friendly . They speak very well English. They serve only breakfast and it's ok. |But...|We've been here 5 years ago and it was ok back then. Now, it's not that ok anymore. The building is so nice, and old, and with all that history behind..it deserves better. The furniture is old, the room had random pieces of furniture...that had nothing to do one with another. The stairs were half painted, the walls were dirty, clearly painted years ago. The parquet floor was so scratched it looks dirty. On the entrance hall/stairs were broken pictures.|I do think the building deserve better. Maybe show some respect to the history of it, and let visitors know more about it. |Thanks for all the effort to the stuff.

If you arrive after the reception is closed, it's next to impossible to get your room, as the mobile phone number on the door is of a former employee, and if you call the fixed phone number nobody will answer. For a star hotel, the minifrigider is empty, so no drinking water overnight you didn't buy from elsewhere. There are no hangers in the bathroom, you can only put the towel on a wooden plank by the sink. The whole experience was unreal, but in the worst way possible. Stay away, there are many other reputable hotels nearby

The hotel was very nice and clean. Very large rooms and well decorated. Perfect location, it is in the middle of the city center with all the amenities in walking distance! Delicious breakfast and friendly staff! Highly recommended!!!

Excellent location, but that's about it. The rooms are quite old, not just old-fashioned, squeaky and the breakfast quite limited. I liked the temperature tho, it was warm and cozy, but for the price I would most certainly go somewhere else.

Fantastic place for a Sibiu stay. You can’t park under the hotel, but it’s normal for a place at the old town, you just need to walk a bit. Top place, great rooms, very very nice hosts. Nice breakfast, just come and enjoy!!!

The location of Hotel The Council is excellent, right in the heart of the city. However, there is no parking, and finding a spot nearby is quite a challenge. Despite being rated as a 4-star hotel, it feels more like a 2-star experience. The rooms are small, the furniture is old, and the bathroom drain was clogged during my stay. The air conditioning is a makeshift solution—a mobile unit with a pipe sticking out through a hole in the window. Charging your phone requires some gymnastics, as the only available 220V outlet is behind the bed, which is bolted to the floor (as seen in the pictures). The breakfast is quite basic and not very appetizing. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this hotel, especially considering it's not cheap.
