Residence Central Annapolis stands at Strada George Baritiu 18, in the old town, about two minutes on foot from Council Square and the Black Church. It is known for its large rooms: the double rooms are roomy, the Deluxe King rooms larger still, and the one-bedroom suites and Deluxe Suites sleep four, with a king bed and a double sofa bed. Some rooms look toward the Black Church. The hotel has a bar, a garden, a game room, bike rental and free WiFi, and rooms come with safes, sound-insulated walls, a full-size refrigerator and a flat-screen television.
Location and getting around
Few hotels are better placed for a first visit. Council Square and the Black Church are two minutes away, the White Tower and Rope Street three, and the lower cable car station for Mount Tampa about eleven minutes on foot. Cafes and restaurants are dotted around the square within a few minutes, from specialty coffee to Transylvanian cooking. The railway station and the bus terminals are across town, so most visitors arrive by taxi or ride-share, and the hotel can arrange a roundtrip airport shuttle on request for a fee.
The rooms
The main appeal is size. The standard double is generous by old-town standards, the Deluxe King adds space, and the suites, which sleep four, make good sense for families or two couples travelling together. Rooms have heating and fans, free toiletries and a full-size fridge, which is useful for storing snacks and drinks on longer stays, and infant beds are provided free.
If you want the best outlook, ask for a room with a view of the Black Church, though the old town can be lively in the evening, so request a quieter room if you sleep lightly.
Who it suits and what to know: couples, families and independent travellers who value space over hotel-style extras will be happy here. A continental breakfast is available for an extra charge, and it may be served at a separate spot a short walk away, so ask when you book. The hotel does not offer parking, though nearby spaces exist, and it is worth reserving ahead if you drive, as the old town is partly pedestrianised. Pets are accepted for a nightly fee.
Check-in begins in the afternoon and check-out is at noon. Free cancellation is offered on selected rates. Prices are modest for such a central location, and rise in the summer high season and over the winter holidays. If you are planning to hike on Mount Tampa or visit the fortresses nearby, the hotel staff can point you to buses and taxis, and the central position means you can return to rest between outings without losing much time.
