Aparthotels & serviced apartments in Cluj-Napoca

27 stays · 15 aparthotels and 12 serviced apartments

Cluj-Napoca is Romania's second most populous city and the unofficial capital of Transylvania, a university city that has become one of the country's main centres for software and IT work. Aparthotels and serviced apartments in Cluj-Napoca suit that mix well: contractors and new hires on assignments of a few weeks, academics visiting Babeș-Bolyai University, and festival-goers who would rather cook and share space than book several hotel rooms.

Where to stay in Cluj-Napoca

Centru (old town)

  • first-time visitors
  • culture
  • nightlife

The historic centre around Piața Unirii mixes Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque buildings, led by St Michael's Church, whose 19th-century tower is the tallest church tower in Romania, and the Baroque Bánffy Palace, now the National Museum of Art. The National Theatre and the Romanian National Opera are on Avram Iancu Square nearby, and most sights, cafés and bars are within a short walk.

Central Park & Cluj Arena

  • families
  • events
  • green space

West of the centre on the south bank of the Someșul Mic, the 19th-century Central Park has a lake with an island and the restored Old Casino. Cluj Arena and BT Arena stand just beyond it beside the river, so this side of the city fills up for football, concerts and the summer Untold festival, when the western half of the park is closed off.

Andrei Mureșanu

  • quiet stays
  • long stays
  • families

Andrei Mureșanu climbs a gentle slope south-east of the historic centre. Its lower streets still have the early 20th-century villas built for civil servants and professionals, which gave it the Hungarian name for a civil servants' colony, and it remains a mainly residential district within walking distance of the centre.

Gheorgheni

  • long stays
  • business travel
  • shopping

Gheorgheni in the south-east combines apartment blocks along Nicolae Titulescu Boulevard with family houses and an unusually generous amount of green space. Iulius Mall, Iulius Park and Gheorgheni Lake are at its eastern end, along with several Babeș-Bolyai University faculties, which makes it a practical base for longer stays.

Getting around Cluj-Napoca

Cluj Avram Iancu International Airport, 9 km east of the city centre, is the second-busiest airport in Romania. CTP's A1E express bus runs between the arrivals terminal and Piața Mihai Viteazul in the centre, and ordinary city buses also serve the airport. Taxis and ride-hailing apps such as Uber and Bolt are widely used, and car hire desks are at the terminal.

The railway station is about 2 km north of the centre on CFR's main line between Bucharest, Oradea and the western border, with direct trains to most Romanian cities and to Budapest. CTP runs the city's trams, trolleybuses and buses, about 70 lines in all, plus metropolitan and night routes; tickets can also be bought by SMS, and the Tranzy app helps with journey planning. Within the centre, walking is usually quickest.

Living in Cluj-Napoca for longer

Large shopping centres such as Iulius Mall in the east and VIVO! Cluj-Napoca on the edge of the city sit alongside the city's hypermarkets, and the streets around Eroilor Avenue form the main central shopping area. Most educated residents speak good English, and Hungarian is widely spoken by the city's large Hungarian community, with its own theatre and opera.

Babeș-Bolyai University and the technology sector give the city a young, international population, and tech conferences are held around the city through the year. If you are moving here for work, our guide to serviced apartments for relocation covers what to look for.
