Hotel Meliss

Wallachia


This comfy modern, three-star option does a lot of things very well. The rooms are uncluttered, clean and quiet; some have private terraces. The reception is friendly and there's a spa and fitness centre on site. The location is about 200m south of the rail and bus stations, along the road leading into the centre.
