The breakfast at Hotel Smart is positively reviewed for its tasty and diverse selection with high-quality products frequently mentioned. The buffet-style offerings cater to various tastes, providing a delicious start to the day.

Although the hotel offers parking options, the limited capacity sometimes results in guests parking on the street. Additional amenities include an electric charging station and video-monitored areas. The comfortable beds and generally well-maintained sleeping environment further enhance the guest experience.

Some reviews note that the hotel doesn't fully meet four-star expectations, suggesting a three-star classification might be more appropriate due to certain amenities and services.

Location
Hotel Smart in Sinaia has earned praise for its exceptional location, making it a delightful retreat for those seeking tranquility and natural beauty. Nestled discreetly on one of the hills, the hotel offers stunning views and a peaceful environment, away from the hustle and bustle of the city center. Guests repeatedly highlight the hotel’s quiet and serene setting, surrounded by forest and nature, providing a perfect backdrop for relaxation.

The hotel is situated in an area that allows guests to enjoy the best of both worlds: a retreat within nature and accessibility to key attractions. It is notably close to Peles Castle and Sinaia Monastery with these landmarks just a short walk away. Additionally, the hotel is around a 10 to 15-minute walk from the city center, though it is worth noting that this involves walking up a slope or several steps.

Despite the slight distance from the heart of the city, guests appreciate the superb and splendid surroundings of the hotel. The garden and proximity to a mountain stream with small waterfalls add to the charm. Whether enjoying the view from a large balcony or relaxing in the peaceful garden, the hotel’s scenery and overall location greatly contribute to a memorable stay. The location is also conveniently positioned for those wanting to visit the nearby gondola.

In summary, Hotel Smart’s location is continuously praised for its picturesque, quiet and peaceful nature. The combination of access to natural wonders and proximity to the city’s attractions makes it an ideal choice for visitors looking to experience the beauty of Sinaia.

Breakfast
Hotel Smart's breakfast offerings have received a diverse range of feedback from guests. On the positive side, many reviews highlight the breakfast as tasty, rich and diverse. Guests have praised the buffet style, noting that it provides sufficient food to cater to various tastes. High-quality products are frequently mentioned and many found the breakfast to be delicious and inspiring with some even calling it exceptional or magnificent. The atmosphere during breakfast receives commendations for being pleasant and enjoyable.

However, a number of reviews indicate that there is room for improvement. Some guests noted that the breakfast options are limited and not quite up to the expectations of a 4-star hotel, suggesting a resemblance more to a 3-star establishment. There were mentions of a lack of variety with insufficient options for those with specific dietary preferences, such as vegans. Additionally, the timing of breakfast starting at 08:00 is seen as too late for those eager to start their day early, particularly for ski enthusiasts.

In summary, while Hotel Smart's breakfast is generally seen as good to very good by many guests with high-quality and tasty offerings, there are notable critiques regarding its variety and alignment with a 4-star service standard.

Dinner
Hotel Smart offers a dining experience at its restaurant that many guests find very satisfying. Numerous reviews highlight the restaurant's superb quality and delicious dishes. The food is described as fresh and excellent, making it a significant attraction for those staying at the hotel. The ambiance of the restaurant is equally praised with many noting the unique decor filled with antiques, such as samovars and old ski equipment, which adds a special charm. Live music during dinner further enhances the pleasant atmosphere, making for memorable dining experiences.

However, not all feedback is entirely positive. Some guests felt the dinner menu lacked variety and was somewhat limited, especially for those on the half-board package. There were isolated comments about the restaurant being closed for both lunch and dinner at times and a few guests noted that the quality of the food could be improved. Despite this, the overall impression of the hotel’s dining options remains favorable, especially with the delicious food and delightful atmosphere being consistent highlights.

Rooms
Hotel Smart offers rooms that are consistently praised for their cleanliness and spaciousness, providing a comfortable stay for guests. The rooms are described as very clean with many highlighting the modern bathroom facilities and the overall impeccable upkeep.

Balconies with mountain views and large terraces add to the appeal, providing a scenic and tranquil environment. Although some furniture is noted as outdated and there are occasional maintenance issues like inconsistent shower temperatures, the overall room experience fulfills guest expectations. The hotel's location is quiet and the professional service, particularly in the restaurant, adds to the positive guest experience. With practical amenities and lovely dining facilities, Hotel Smart is highly recommended for those seeking spacious, clean and comfortable accommodations with beautiful views.

Beds

Many reviews highlight the beds as particularly comfortable, often mentioning immediate comfort upon lying down. Soft mattresses and pillows contribute to a pleasant night's sleep and the beds are generally noted as clean and well-maintained.

However, not all feedback is overwhelmingly positive. A few guests have found the beds a little hard or noted that the mattresses were worn out. Additionally, the lack of power sockets near the beds is a recurring inconvenience mentioned in several reviews.

Despite these minor drawbacks, the overall impression is that Hotel Smart provides good quality, comfortable beds, making it a suitable choice for travelers seeking a restful night's sleep.

Parking
Hotel Smart offers parking options, including spaces directly in front of the hotel and near the entrance. Guests appreciate the convenience of an electric charging station and video-monitored areas that enhance security. However, the parking area has limited capacity, leading some guests to leave their cars on the street when spaces are unavailable. Though there is a parking lot, its size can sometimes lead to the challenge of finding a free spot. Despite these limitations, the availability of a friendly gray kitten in the parking area adds a charming touch.

4 Star
'Hotel Smart' has received several reviews that raise concerns about its four-star rating. Guests frequently mention that the hotel does not meet the expectations of a four-star establishment. The bathroom products and breakfast offerings have been particularly highlighted as falling short of a four-star standard with some guests suggesting a three-star classification would be more appropriate. The overall sentiment is that while 'Hotel Smart' does offer facilities and services, they do not align with those typical of a four-star hotel.

Hotel Smart stands out for its remarkably pet-friendly atmosphere, earning praise for welcoming dogs and other pets. The hotel allows pets and ensures that guests with furry companions feel accommodated. Positive remarks highlight the hotel as being accepting and friendly towards pets with multiple reviews reaffirming its dog-friendly environment. Guests mentioned that they brought along their German Shepherd, suggesting that dogs of various sizes are accommodated comfortably.
