The Best Hostel in Brasov: Kismet Dao
Last Updated on May 26, 2018
If you’re visiting the fairytale town of Brasov, there’s only one place to stay – Kismet Dao Hostel. My original plan was to only stay here a few days, but I ended up extending to 5 nights because I loved it so much. If there’s one sure measurement on how people like a hostel, just see how many people extend! It’s a sure sign that it’s a great hostel. I visited Brasov during the cold and snowy month of January and this hostel was a perfect cosy hostel to stay in in the depths of winter!
The room
I stayed in two different rooms whilst I was there. Both were fantastic but my ultimate favourite was the top floor! It had a cosy wood theme with beautiful interiors and a fantastic view. The beds were comfortable, and I felt like the rooms were set up well!
The facilities
The facilities at Kismet Dao were fantastic. From 8 until 12 you get free breakfast which includes cereal and coffee. You have access to the kitchen as well as a lounge downstairs which has a tv and Xbox setup. There is also a computer that you are welcome to use.

The location
The hostel was only a 20-minute walk into the centre of Brasov. Its situated in a residential part of the city. There are shops not far from the hostel where you can stock up on food etc. If you come with a car there is free parking outside too.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Kismet Dao hostel and would love to visit again one day soon! I highly recommend you stay here on your travels to Brasov.
This stay was sponsored, but as always, all opinions are my own and I would never recommend something I didn’t absolutely love!
