The Frontier Hotel Siret

Review by hotel critic

As a frequent adventure guide navigating Romania’s stunning Carpathian Mountains, I recently found myself at a quirky hotel near the Ukrainian border for a corporate retreat. The location is undeniably convenient for crossing borders but lacks some fundamental comforts. The conference suite accommodates up to 120 guests, which worked well for our meetings. The 24-hour reception and express check-in were handy, allowing us to settle in quickly after a long drive. The absence of a well-stocked bar and lounge area made post-meeting relaxation a bit dull. Wi-Fi connection was consistent, perfect for remote work, but the soundproofing was surprisingly poor; I could hear every detail from neighboring rooms. Though breakfast wasn't included, the restaurant offered dinner options, albeit limited. Despite a few hiccups, the hotel does provide a decent base for business travelers needing quick access to Ukraine. Just remember, this isn't a luxurious stay; it’s more functional than comfortable. In Brasov, I often prefer the charm of rural guesthouses, but for proximity, it sufficed. Would I return? Only if the options elsewhere don’t suit.
