I want to clarify one thing from the beginning. This article refers to the best places to stay in Brasov County, although most are in the city. According to statistics, Brasov is the most visited city in Romania. But it’s also my favorite, so I always return to Brasov with the same joy.
Brasov is a city that abounds in activities for all types of tourists. There are many places to visit in Brasov, from Sforii Street, and Sfatului Square, to the First Romanian School and Ecaterina Gate. However, around Brasov are many resorts and tourist attractions not to be missed.
You can find cheap hotels in Brasov, and they can look great. I will prove it to you in this article. You can also find accommodation in Brasov at higher prices, but the facilities are just right. Therefore, a complete trip to Brasov, the city or the county, should take place for at least 2, 3 days to enjoy everything this city offers.
Another thing I want to mention is the fact that I use Booking every time I want to find accommodation, regardless of the destination. The filters that Booking offers help me to always find the best option, depending on the budget, location, and the desired facilities.
Best places to stay in Brasov
The Pines Boutique Villa
I must admit that this is one of my favorite accommodations on the list of the most beautiful guesthouses in Brasov, and this is because it’s so bright and offers a lovely panorama.
It’s about a 15-minute walk from Council Square, but you have a wow view of the city and Mount Tampa. Also, you can see the illuminated BRASOV sign from the villa’s terrace every evening.
Inside the villa are two apartments, four rooms, and a living room with a terrace, a shared space. The rooms are spacious, decorated in Scandinavian style, bright, with large windows and a private ultra-modern bathroom. The furniture is made mainly of wood and metal, and the fabrics are made of natural materials.
All the rooms at The Pines Boutique Villa are beautiful, without exception, but my favorite is the apartment with mountain views. It is a charming mountain view accommodation!
And if you want to explore the area properly, but especially fast and cheap, you must know that you can rent bikes from the villa.

One of the most beautiful guesthouses in Brasov is Pensiunea Toscana, located just a 10-minute walk from the center of Brasov. Although it is in the city, the guesthouse is surrounded by a huge garden of 12,000 meters, which will make you forget that you are in an urban area.

What you need to know before looking for accommodation in Brasov
The price differs depending on the season
The busiest times of the year for Brasov are summer and winter. Therefore, the most beautiful guesthouses in Brasov may have a high price during these periods. Don’t forget that spring and autumn are great times of the year to travel to Brasov. I consider the beginning of autumn and spring ideal, more precisely, the months of September-October.
There are guesthouses in Brasov that can be rented only in full
If you are only going to rent a room, ensure that the villa you have set your eyes on has this option. There are guesthouses in Brasov that can be rented only in full, especially those with fewer rooms.
Check the means of transport
As you have already seen, most of the accommodation options in Brasov presented in this article are located quite far from the city center, so you will need transportation to get around. For the payment of tickets for public transport, I recommend the 24Pay application.
Make sure you find chalets in Brasov with parking if you come by car
Contrary to the above, if you are going to make a road trip with a personal car, you will have to filter the search for pensions in Brasov with parking.
