Visited Romania for 7 days. Solid experience. Scene is improved. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $125/day. Best part: variety.
Overall: 9/10. One of my favourites.

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 9/10 destination.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $97/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.
