Top hotels in Old City
Hotel Timisoara
The hotel was clean and well furnished however the bathroom felt a bit dated. All other aspects of the hotel were contemporary and modern. Overall I would recommend Hotel Timisoara, the staff were pleasant and welcoming. It is in a great location, close to restaurants and the quaint old town.

ApartHotel No6
The apartment is perfectly located, within walking distance of main attractions and restaurants. It was very clean and felt very cozy. A small suggestion would be to include a full-length mirror in the apartment.
