Vila 11

Quiet, traditional family home snuggled in our 1920's vila, 200m from the Gara de Nord. We offer our guests an alternative to impersonal high tech hotels. We are wood floors, tapestries and wrought iorn,: hot tea, cookies and an old piano: pancakes, backgammon and old books.

Our rooms are decorated with family treasures and vary as a result. Not one is the same but all are cozy and personable. Bathrooms are all newly renovated.

The coffee room is open 24 hours a day for you to relax, enjoy a complimentary cup of tea or coffee and shoot the breeze.

A breakfast of pancakes, fruit and bread with homemade jam is included and on Saturday mornings there is a cold buffet breakfast to give to the cooker a day off!


All our staff speak English, the owner's French and English, so we can help answer your questions and help you get around.

Please contact us if you wish to arrange an airport transfer. (contra cost)

Vila 11 can arrange city walking tours of Bucharest, trips to Snagov lake, Mogosoia Palace etc. Car, mobile phone and bicycle rental available.

We are pet and kid friendly, and we have no smoking rooms. I must note that we are NOT wheelchair accessible, sorry!

**Please note: Your booking will be cancelled if you should arrive later than your estimated arrival time & don't inform us about it!!**
