    Reception open 24/7 - a good thing when you check in late and realise that no parking lots are available (they kept one just for me, for I've checked the parking on Booking). Staff, very friendly. Breakfast was also a nice thing to have after a long journey and a short night

    The room was in the attic, and the toilet was placed under the slope of the roof, impossible to use it standing up.

    The staff at the reception was very attentive.

    I am not sure, but maybe the smell in the room was smokey. Or I just didn't like the bathroom freshener?

    Very helpful staff, correct and delicious breakfast, calm district of the town, tram station for a few minutes walk.

    - a bit of noise as long as in the same location they also host a pretty famous local pizzeria, so if you have the room view on the back side of the pension to the terrace you will still hear some noise up to midnight, now also pending on the customers and of course weekdays vs. weekend - the size of the bathroom, especially the cabin shower a bit small than average

    - Breakfast basic, but you could find enough products to get a good start of the day - Room size, pretty good - Clean sheets - Cleaning OK - The parking on the back of the location is good, but a bit squeezed

    There is an annoying dog somewhere in the neighborhood that starts barking early in the morning and just doesn't stop. Even with the window closed that dog was making it impossible to stay asleep without earplugs - which I luckily had with me.

    There are multiple bus and tram stations in the vicinity, the city center can be reached in 15-25 minutes (depending on how long you need to wait for the bus / tram). Pensiunea Pura Vida is located on a small side road that is not very busy, meaning there is almost no traffic noise when staying in the room.

    We have been here on another occasion and we liked it so we came back. Only this time we were disappointed by the cleanliness. A face towel was missing and we reported this to the front desk so that it would not be charged to us. One of the shower towels was dirty. Toilet lid dirty. Toiletries only for one person in a room for 2 people. I am sure that it is not entirely the hotel's fault for this situation, that is why I am writing this, so that the necessary measures can be taken with the cleaning staff.

    A beautiful guesthouse, comfortable, friendly staff, varied breakfast, coffe, tea. All in all, good value for the price paid, considering the varied breakfast included.

    I have no complaints about the accommodation. What I complain about in all hotels in the Balkans is the lack of smiles on the faces of the employees. Also, parking is a big problem. Although this hotel has several parking spaces in front, it is very difficult to find a free space. We had to park a few streets away

    We spent only one night in this guesthouse because we only came to Timisoara for the weekend. I am very satisfied with the accommodation that can be obtained for this money. The rooms are clean and tidy. The beds are comfortable. The breakfast is buffet style and very good.

    Furniture is a bit old

    The room was spaceous enough, the location is very good (2km from city center), the free parking is in front of the pansion, the breakfast was really good (continental breakfast with eggs, ham, salami, cheese, fresh vegetables, saussages, lots of coffee, juices and tea, ...), excellent heating and hot watter in the shower, pleasent staff. The value for the money is extreemly good!!!!!

    For the price I paid, the accommodation is solid for a 1-2 day stay.

    The window in the room is on the ceiling and it was not possible to open it, so the feeling was like being in a prison, not in a hotel room. The carpet was not vacuumed and was full of crumbs which is unacceptable. The description of the room included a refrigerator, but it was not in the room. It was very difficult to find parking near the facility.

    The room is solid for a stay of 1-2 days. The bathroom is very functional and spacious. Breakfast was classic. The staff is approachable and friendly.
