Escape to Paradise: Hotel Euphoria Craiova Awaits!
Escape to Paradise: Hotel Euphoria Craiova Awaits! - A Review That's Actually Helpful (And a Little Crazy)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I just got back from a Craiova adventure, and while I'm still unpacking (both literally and figuratively, because my brain is still sorting through the sheer Euphoria of it all), I'm ready to lay down the unvarnished truth about the Escape to Paradise: Hotel Euphoria Craiova Awaits! (God, what a mouthful!). This review is gonna be LESS "bullet points and dry factual analysis" MORE "me, you, and a bottle of Romanian wine (hypothetically… sadly, I had to drive)."
Let's Get Access-y, Baby! (Yes, That's a Word Now)
First up, accessibility. This is KEY, people. I'm not in a wheelchair myself, but I always look out for accessibility. Euphoria seems to be doing a pretty good job. Elevator? Check. That's a HUGE win right off the bat, because lugging suitcases up stairs is not my definition of paradise. I saw some reports, but I'm not an expert in this area, so I can't give a definitive answer. I'd call ahead and ask to ensure it all works well for your needs. Especially if you need the extra accessible room. I'd really suggest using photos from your visit, or a quick youtube video will do the trick.
Internet: My Lifeline (and Yours, Probably)
Okay, let's be real. In 2024, Wi-Fi is oxygen. Thankfully, Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! and in public areas. I practically lived online, stalking my Instagram feed while pretending to read my book. And you know what? It was FAST. I even managed to upload some slightly embarrassing travel selfies without wanting to chuck my phone out the window. Internet [LAN] is also available for those who like to truly get online again. Good stuff.
The Pampering Factor: Where the Real Euphoria Begins (and Ends… Kinda)
- Spa/Sauna: So, the spa… oh, the spa. It was… divine. I'm talking a proper Sauna, a Steamroom, a Pool with View, and a Spa. (I'm a broken record here, sorry! But it was that good!!) I spent a solid two hours in there one afternoon, and I emerged looking like a slightly less crumpled version of myself. They had a Body scrub and Body wrap that I didn’t get to try, but now I'm kicking myself for it. There's a Foot bath too. Which you are gonna LOVE.
- Fitness Center/Gym: For the guilt-ridden amongst us (ahem, me!), there’s a Fitness center/Gym, so you can work off all the deliciousness you're about to consume. I saw people in there, and they looked very serious. I chose to nap instead.
- Massage: DO IT. JUST DO IT. I had a massage that was pure bliss. Seriously, my knots were massaged into oblivion. I'm still dreaming of it.
Food, Glorious Food! (And the Occasional Mild Panic)
- Restaurants: The Restaurants are the reason I'm giving this hotel 5 stars, and I am not joking. The hotel had a few Restaurants and a Poolside bar. And it was all delicious.
- Breakfast: Buffet vs. Room Service: The Breakfast [buffet] was a symphony of culinary delights. A full Western Western breakfast, and an optional Asian breakfast. I overate every single morning, which is a testament to its deliciousness. You can also have Breakfast in room and a Breakfast takeaway service.
- Dining, drinking, and snacking: I went off menu for a bit, with a Room service [24-hour] order. The food and drinks were perfect, and there's a Snack bar, and a good Happy hour. They also have a Coffee shop, and a Desserts in restaurant, as well as a Vegetarian restaurant and an International cuisine in restaurant
Cleanliness, Safety, and the "Are We Doomed?" Factor
In these post-pandemic times, this is ESSENTIAL. Euphoria seems to take this seriously. Anti-viral cleaning products are in use, and they had a Daily disinfection in common areas. They also practice Physical distancing of at least 1 meter. Staff trained in safety protocol and it seemed they had a thorough list of protocols. Rooms sanitized between stays as well. It's a relief, honestly.
Other Bits and Bobs (The Stuff You Need to Know)
- Services and conveniences: They have a Concierge, a Cash withdrawal, Daily housekeeping, Dry cleaning, Laundry service, so this is all good.
- Getting around: Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Taxi service.
- For the kids: I didn’t have any kiddos with me, but they have a Babysitting service and Kids facilities.
- Things to do: There is Audio-visual equipment for special events. They have Meeting/banquet facilities.
- Available in all rooms: Includes Air conditioning, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, In-room safe box, Internet access – wireless, Mini bar, Private bathroom, Slippers, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free].
The Annoying Stuff (Because Nothing's Perfect)
There’s always something, right? I'm not going to lie, one day, the Room service [24-hour] was a bit slow. The wait was about an hour. Also, while the Wi-Fi was generally excellent, it occasionally hiccuped. (First world problems, I know.)
Quirks & Imperfections: Charm vs. Chaos
I wouldn’t say there were any “major” quirks, but there were a few things that made the stay more… memorable. First off, the shower pressure in my room was… enthusiastic. Like, you had to brace yourself to take a shower. Once the water was warm, it was worth it though.
The Emotional Verdict (The Really Important Stuff)
This place… it’s special. It’s not just a hotel; it’s an experience. I left feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and strangely nostalgic for the deliciousness of the breakfast buffet. Escape to Paradise: Hotel Euphoria Craiova Awaits! is, well, euphoric. It's a place where you can truly unwind, indulge, and forget about the outside world for a little while. And in a world that's often a bit… much, that’s priceless.
Final Rating: 4.8 out of 5 Stars! (Minus 0.2 for the slightly slow room service and shower pressure, but the spa alone is worth at least a full point!)

Hotel Euphoria Craiova: My Romanian Rollercoaster (A Messy Itinerary)
Alright, folks, buckle up. This isn't your typical travelogue, all perfectly polished and Instagram-filtered. This is the raw, unfiltered truth of my Romanian adventure, a chaotic love affair with Hotel Euphoria, Craiova, and the whole bizarre shebang. Prepare for tangents, opinions, and the occasional existential crisis. We're going deep, people.
Day 1: Arrival - Euphoric Expectations Crumble (Slightly)
- Morning (8:00 AM): Landed in Bucharest. The airport felt… well, like an airport. Standard. Grabbed a cab (the driver seemed suspicious, but hey, that’s probably just me). The drive to Craiova was… long. Scenic, though! Rolling hills, charming villages, and the vague scent of diesel.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): Arrived at Hotel Euphoria. The name? A tad ambitious, I thought. But hey, the reception was lovely. The lobby, all velvet and… well, it was something. A mix of "grand hotel" and "slightly outdated wedding venue." I'm not gonna lie, the chandelier did spark a little joy.
- Check-In Catastrophe (2:00 PM): My room. Oh, my room. The air conditioning sounded like a dying walrus. The view? A brick wall. And the minibar? Surprisingly empty. I'm usually pretty chill about these things, but a girl needs her mini-wine after a cross-country ride. My first reaction: pure, unadulterated disappointment. I'd booked a "Superior Room," and I wouldn't even give it a "Mediocre".
- Lunch (2:30 PM): Scrounged for food at the hotel restaurant. The menu was… extensive. Too extensive, probably. I ordered… something. I honestly can't remember what. It was edible, but not memorable. (Let's just say, I wished I'd packed a sandwich.)
- Afternoon (4:00 PM): Decided to explore Craiova. Wandered around the city centre – it's charming, I concede! Beautiful architecture, a vibrant atmosphere, and a surprising number of stray dogs (all very friendly, though!). The "Nicolae Romanescu Park" was a highlight. It was vast, leafy, and a real escape from the hotel's slightly oppressive aura. I even managed to find a bench and sit and think.
- Evening (7:00 PM): Dinner. Back at the hotel restaurant (sigh). This time, I opted for "Chicken with a vaguely Eastern European Sauce". It was… fine. I spent the evening wrestling with the aforementioned dying walrus (the AC). I was defeated.
- Bedtime (9:00 PM): Gave up on the walrus and, feeling slightly deflated, went to bed. My first night wasn't euphoric, but it was… a start.
Day 2: Diving Deep into the Romanian Soul (and Wine)
- Morning (8:00 AM): Breakfast at the hotel. The buffet? Surprisingly good! Loads of local cheeses, salami, and amazing, crusty bread. Redemption, I think! I ate, and ate, and ate.
- Exploring Craiova Further (9:00 AM): I did discover a great coffee shop, "The Craiova Brew," which, frankly, saved my life. The coffee was excellent, the atmosphere was warm, and the barista spoke impeccable English. This gave me the energy to explore the 'Art Museum'. The collection was impressive, with a focus on Romanian artists. I spent hours wandering around, captivated by the talent and the passion.
- The Real Craiova (12:00 PM): I decided to get off the beaten track. I walked through the less tourist-riddled areas. Found a local market! A sensory overload of colors, smells, and a million things I couldn't understand. This was the good stuff - the real Romania. Found a little stall selling placinte (savoury Romanian pastry), and I think I had three. No regrets.
- Afternoon (2:00 PM): THIS. Wine tasting. Oh, heavenly wine tasting. I stumbled upon a small, family-run vineyard just outside of Craiova, and it was a revelation. The people were incredibly kind despite my awful Romanian ("Bună ziua"! That's it!). The wine? Divine. I sampled several varieties, including a crisp white and a surprisingly complex red. I felt a wave of pure contentment. This was the euphoria I'd been promised! After a number of glasses, I can't recall the details, but the feeling stays.
- Evening (7:00 PM): Another dinner at the hotel. This time, I ordered the "Traditional Romanian Stew". It was… actually pretty delicious! The earlier wine must have helped because I felt better about the hotel, and the dying walrus.
Day 3: Euphoria's Epilogue
- Morning (8:00 AM): Another fantastic breakfast! The cheese, the bread… I'm going to miss this.
- Packing, Procrastination (9:00 AM): The inevitable. I'm not a fan of packing. I spent an hour staring at my suitcase, contemplating whether to just abandon everything and move to Craiova. (Spoiler alert: I didn't).
- Final Hotel Moments (10:00 AM): Spent a final moment wandering around the hotel. The velvet, the chandelier… it's still a bit weird, but I kind of love it. I found a quiet corner in the lobby and sat and wrote in my diary, recounting what had happened, the good the bad and the utterly weird.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): Sadly, it was time to go. But the memories and experiences of my Romanian trip, specifically in Craiova, were something I would never forget.
- Departure Back to Bucharest (2:00 PM): Back to Bucharest, where my journey continued.
Final Thoughts:
Hotel Euphoria in Craiova… it wasn't perfect. Far from it. But it was… an experience. A mess of good food, weird rooms, and that overwhelming sense of discovery that makes travel worthwhile. Craiova, though, is fantastic. I highly recommend it (and, if you must, the Hotel Euphoria). Go with an open mind, a good sense of humor, and a healthy appreciation for Romanian placinte. You might just find your own little moment of euphoria. And maybe, just maybe, bring your own mini-wine. You'll thank me later, trust me.

Okay, so... Euphoria Craiova? Is it actually paradise, or is my inner pessimist right about everything?
Paradise? Hmmm... that's a *strong* word. Look, let's just say Craiova isn't the Maldives. But, and this is a **BIG** but, Euphoria? Well, *that* depends on your definition. I went in with the expectation of a slightly-below-average Romanian hotel and a whole lotta budget beer. And listen, those expectations were... mostly met. But there were flashes, moments, oh man, *moments* that made me think, "Okay, maybe this *is* a little slice of heaven, even if it's heaven with questionable wifi."
What's the deal with the rooms? Are they... you know... clean?
Alright, let's be real. Clean? Define "clean." The room I got... let's just say it had a *certain* aroma. Not entirely unpleasant, like a faint whiff of... dust and hope? No, no, the dust was definitely the dominant note there. I'm pretty sure the cleaning crew just kinda waved a feather duster vaguely in the general direction of things. BUT (again, a big but!), the bed was comfy, and the hot water actually worked. And after *three* days, they did change the towels, so, progress! Also, I found a stray sock under the bed - proof of life! That's my anecdote.
The food. TELL ME ABOUT THE FOOD. Is it edible? Is it *good*?
Right, the food. This is where things get interesting. Breakfast? Buffet. Lots of... things. Sausage (the kind that might, or might not, actually *be* sausage), eggs (of varying degrees of doneness), and what I *think* was some sort of cereal that tasted suspiciously of cardboard. But! The coffee was surprisingly decent. And sometimes, just sometimes, they'd have these little pastries that were like tiny, sugary explosions of deliciousness. Lunch and dinner? A mixed bag, my friend. I had one truly incredible dish of grilled chicken with some sort of garlic sauce (honestly, the best thing I ate on the trip), and then I had another dish… well, let's just say my stomach was a little upset for a while.
What about the staff? Are they… helpful? Friendly? Or do they want to be anywhere else?
Okay, the staff. Ah, the staff. This is where the real charm of Euphoria Craiova shines through. They're… well, they’re *human*. Some are friendly, some are… less so. The lady at the front desk? Bless her heart, she did her best, even when my Romanian was basically nonexistent and I was attempting to communicate using hand gestures and panicked facial expressions. There was one waiter who seemed to actively dislike his job, another who practically *beamed* with hospitality (he gets an A+). Honestly, the inconsistencies were part of the fun. Made it feel less like a sterile hotel and more like… a family gathering where you’re not entirely sure who everyone is.
Did you do any activities? What's there to do in Craiova, anyway?
Activities? Craiova can be… interesting. The hotel itself had a pool, which was surprisingly refreshing (and often deserted, a major win!). There's a park nearby that was nice for wandering around and people-watching (my favorite pastime). I wandered into the city center, found some lovely cafes and historic buildings, and even stumbled upon a street market with some truly amazing (and surprisingly cheap) local crafts. Craiova's not exactly bursting with tourist attractions, but that's part of the charm. It's a place to *be*, not just to *see*. Plus, the lack of crowds was glorious.
How did you feel about the pool?
The pool. Oh, sweet, glorious pool. Now *this* is where Euphoria really delivered. It wasn't Olympic-sized or anything, but it was clean, well-maintained, and, best of all, rarely used! There were days where I literally had the whole pool to myself. Picture this: sun blazing, the gentle lapping of the water, me floating on my back, contemplating the meaning of life (or at least, what to have for lunch). That, my friends, was pure bliss. I spent hours in that pool, washing away all the dust and questionable food from the day. Honestly, the pool almost made up for everything else. It was my Euphoria. So yeah, I loved the pool. I basically lived in the pool. I miss the pool.
Would you recommend the Hotel Euphoria Craiova?
Okay, the million-dollar question: Would I recommend it? Here's the thing. If you're expecting five-star luxury and flawless service, steer clear. You'll be disappointed. But, if you're looking for a quirky, slightly rough-around-the-edges experience, a place where you can relax, explore, and maybe even find your own little slice of heaven, then absolutely. There's a certain honesty to Euphoria Craiova. It's not pretending to be something it's not. And sometimes, that's exactly what you need. It's a "yes, but…" kind of place. Go with low expectations, a sense of humor, and a healthy dose of adventurousness, and you might just have a surprisingly good time. Just pack some hand sanitizer. And maybe a good book. And a life vest if you're not a good swimmer, because the pool! Oh, the pool...
What about the noise level? Is it a party hotel?
Noise? Well, it really depended on the day. There were definitely some nights when it was... lively. I mean, Romania is a country that knows how to celebrate, and sometimes that celebration spills over into the hotel. I remember one night when there was a wedding reception going on downstairs. Let's just say, sleep was elusive. But other nights were blissfully quiet, punctuated only by the distant sound of crickets and the occasional (and rather charming) dog barking. It’s not a constant rave, but if you're a light sleeper, bring earplugs. Trust me.
Did you meet anyone interesting?
Oh, definitely. I met a few interesting characters. There was the perpetually-grumpy-but-secretly-sweet bartender, a lady who wore the same floralInstant Hotel Search
