I visited Romania recently for 5 days and had a great experience.
The scene is Better than expected. Prices up 10-15% from last year.
Spent about $64/day on the hobby side. Best part was the friendliness.
Overall: 7.5/10. Exceeded expectations.
Happy to answer questions.

Been going for years. The scene has shifted a bit but still good.

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

This is outdated info IMO.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

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