Casa Luxemburg is a bed and breakfast at 16 Small Square, in a historic building at the heart of Sibiu's old town, and it is rated three stars. It is about two minutes on foot from the Large Square. The property has a restaurant called Atrium Bistro, a bar, a terrace and a gift shop, and rooms include superior doubles and twins, a single, junior studio suites for three guests and a two-bedroom superior apartment for four. It is one of the most atmospheric addresses in the city for the price.
The setting is the draw. The Small Square, Piata Mica, is arguably the prettiest corner of Sibiu, with the Council Tower, the Bridge of Lies and restaurant terraces on your doorstep, and the Large Square is only a couple of minutes away. At this address you can walk to almost every major sight in a few minutes and enjoy the old town after the day trippers have gone.
The flip side is noise on summer and weekend evenings from the terraces and in winter from the Christmas market nearby, so ask for a room away from the square if you are a light sleeper. Rooms have air conditioning and free Wi-Fi, and there is a front-desk safe.
Rooms are on the compact side in the usual way for old town buildings, but the range is generous, with superior double and twin rooms, a single room, junior studio suites with a king bed and a sofa bed for three, and a two-bedroom apartment sleeping four. That makes it flexible for couples, small families and friends travelling together.
Check-in runs from four to half past six in the afternoon, so tell the hotel if you will arrive later, and check-out is at eleven, with late check-out available for a fee. Breakfast is a buffet for a surcharge, and the on-site bistro serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, so you can eat without leaving the building.
Parking is the main practical issue. Parking is not mentioned among the amenities, and one guest says it is not close by, so if you drive, ask the hotel where to leave the car or use a public car park nearby and walk in. Luggage storage is available, which is helpful for early arrivals and late departures.
Casa Luxemburg suits couples and independent travellers who prefer character to chain consistency. It is not a place for a spa or a pool, but it offers a lovely location for the price. Rates are lowest outside the Christmas market and summer festival periods.
