Aparthotels & serviced apartments in Constanţa

11 stays · 9 aparthotels and 2 serviced apartments

Constanţa combines a working port, a Roman and Greek past and, just to the north, Romania's best-known Black Sea beach strip. Aparthotels and serviced apartments in Constanţa suit that mix: a kitchen and separate living area are useful for a summer week by the sea with children, for a longer stay while you work in the city or port, or for a stopover on a trip around the Black Sea coast. If the format is new to you, our guide explains what an aparthotel is.

Where to stay in Constanţa

Peninsula (old town)

  • first-time visitors
  • history
  • walking

Wikivoyage recommends strolling the historical peninsular area, and its National Museum of History and Archaeology displays Greek and Roman antiquities. Wikivoyage lists the Old Casino, an Art Nouveau building opened in 1911, the Grand Mosque of 1910 and the National Museum of History and Archaeology among its sights, plus the remains of the Roman Mosaic Edifice. It is the most walkable base for sightseeing.

Near the railway station

  • rail travel
  • short stays
  • Bucharest day trips

Wikivoyage says Constanţa railway station sits about 700 metres from the city centre. It is the most practical area for arrivals by train, and the same page describes the trip from Bucharest as taking between two and two and a half hours. Local buses run by CT BUS operate across the city.

Tomis Nord

  • long stays
  • families
  • residential feel

Tomis Nord lies north of the centre, between the old town and Mamaia. It is a base to consider for longer stays if you want to reach both the Peninsula and the beach strip by local transport. Check which CT BUS line serves your street before booking.

Mamaia

  • beach
  • families

Wikipedia places Mamaia immediately north-east of the city centre, on a narrow strip about 8 km long and 300 metres wide between the Black Sea and Lake Siutghiol. It says the beach season is at its best from mid-June to early September, with average daytime temperatures of 25 to 30 degrees Celsius. Wikivoyage describes 6 to 7 km of sandy beaches with hotels and clubs.

Getting around Constanţa

Mihail Kogălniceanu International Airport serves the city, and Wikivoyage describes it as about 30 minutes away along the E60 highway, with international flights including routes from Istanbul and London Luton. Wikipedia says Constanţa is connected to Bucharest by rail via the King Carol I Bridge at Cernavodă, which opened in 1895.

CT BUS operates the public transport system in Constanţa. Its website lists city lines, including line 101 to the port, and seasonal services such as a Mamaia beach service, and some routes change with the season. It also offers time-based cards, subscriptions and e-ticketing with CT BUS cards. Wikivoyage mentions maxi-taxi line 310 for reaching Mamaia. The South Bus Station, Autogara Sud Herli-Sof, handles regional and international coaches according to Wikivoyage.

Living in Constanţa for longer

For longer stays, the Peninsula and the area around the station are the easiest places to cover day-to-day needs on foot, while Tomis Nord lies between the centre and the sea. Mamaia has almost no full-time residents and is populated mostly during the summer, according to Wikipedia, so shops and services there may be geared to the beach season.

CT BUS time-based cards and subscriptions are listed on its website, which is useful if you will make regular trips between the centre and the coast. If you are moving to the city for work, our guide to serviced apartments for relocation covers what to look for in a longer booking.

When to visit Constanţa

Wikipedia describes a humid subtropical climate, with warm summers averaging 23 degrees Celsius in July and August. For Mamaia, the same encyclopedia gives mid-June to early September as the best beach season. Because the Mamaia strip is mostly populated in summer, visit between those months if you want the beach resort fully open.

Outside summer, the old town, its museums and the port are the main draw, and Wikivoyage's sightseeing list for the Peninsula applies at any time of year.

Wikipedia says the city was founded around 600 BC as the Greek colony Tomis and calls it the oldest continuously inhabited city in Romania, and that its port is the largest on the Black Sea. Constanţa is in Romania. The sections below cover the main places to base yourself and how to reach them from the airport and the rail station.
