We stayed for two nights and and asked to have our breakfast at 7.30 rather than their usual start time of 8 as we had a tour and train to catch.They kindly accommodated us. The claw footed bath was a welcome feature as well as a fully featured shower system. Brasov is delightful town and the hotel is within easy walking distance to the central square, Black Church and restaurants.

A fine small hotel with helpful staff

A charming boutique hotel in an ideal location a couple of minutes' walk from the Black Church and another minute to the main square with its bars and restaurants. Our room – furnished in 'art deco' style – was pleasantly 'quirky', spacious and comfortable - as was the bed.
The proprietress was most hospitable and provided an excellent breakfast with plenty of menu options. Being able to park right outside at very modest cost was most welcome – it's worth phoning ahead to request that a space be reserved if possible. Excellent all round.

Charming boutique accommodation in perfect location

From the moment I entered the Vila Katharina I knew this was a hotel that felt just right. 
Everywhere is so carefully and tastefully decorated in subtle tones and lighting. I was warmly greeted by Satine with a traditional welcome drink of a Plum Liqueur. 
The room I was given for the two nights was simply stunning. With period furniture a glorious bed and bedding and once again that tasteful and subtle decor. The roll top slipper bath was such a delightful surprise and the bathroom itself bigger than some budget hotels whole room area that I have stayed in.! Then to breakfast, chosen and ordered the night before was again extra special, the crockery, the presentation, the service and food itself all faultless. 
I cannot recommend the Vila Katharina highly enough and if you are staying in the great town of Braşov it has to be the number one place to reside.

Absolutely top notch!

Absolutely top notch

We stayed here for 4 nights and everything was very good. We had booked a deluxe king suite and it was very spacious with a separate living area.  The one great thing which we hadn’t found on the 2 weeks which we had already spent travelling in Romania was tea and coffee making facilities in the room.  Despite being only a few minutes walk from the main square it was very quiet.  They also have some reserved parking spaces outside the front of the hotel which was very convenient as parking would be a nightmare.  The only downside was you had to order your breakfast the night before - we generally don’t know what we want until the morning.

Very convenient and quiet location

The Vila Katharina is in a great location right near the Old Town. It was easy to walk everywhere I wanted to go. The front desk staff was very friendly and the room was nice. The chocolates in the room were a nice touch.

With only 3 rooms, it's a very intimate experience. My room (Onyx) was huge. With that said, a couple of quirks. First off, the shower in the room was very strange. It was a stand alone unit, almost like a box, a bright red unit & glass on all sides. My room was the art deco room and it didn't match the style at all. Plus it was small and difficult to use.

Breakfast was nice. I ordered the Transylvania breakfast, which was hearty - but be ready for a LOT of meat & cheese :) I would have liked more coffee too, I was offered just one cup but could have had about 10.

I also found the price to be on the high end for what was offered. I'm currently staying at a very cute place in Sibiu, also in a great location, with a fun bar area and breakfast included - easily half the cost of what I paid in Brasov.

Overall, I would recommend Vila Katharina.

Overall a great stay, a little pricey & a few quirks

What an amazing stay we had. The rooms were beautiful and right near all the great restaurants and nightlife of Brasov. The staff was warm and treated us so well. I would highly recommend this wonderful place to everyone and will come back soon.

Romantic stay in Brasov

We spent three nights at Vila Katharina in September.  Very nice hotel.  Centrally located for walking in the city center.   Our room had a king bed and was both spacious and comfortable.   Breakfast was made to order from selections made the day before -- nice choice of omelets / continental breakfast options.   Not to be underestimated is a parking spot in front of the hotel.   You pay for parking, however, this is a convenience that should not be under-estimated.   Ana the manager of the hotel provided excellent service.   Hotel arranged for laundry service during our stay.   Overall an excellent experience.

Wonderful Hotel in Central Brasov

I really loved this hotel. The staff were friendly and offered us a small drink of local produce on arrival. Our room Onyx was just gorgeous. Really interesting and full of character. Loved the huge doors into the bathroom and we had a bath in the morning, very relaxing. I wish we could have stayed longer! There is shower gel, soap, shampoo in the room, no conditioner (I had my own). Great location into the town. Note, no lift. We choose breakfast the night before to have in the garden which was lovely. Note there are only two tables and if you get lucky like us you will be alone but if not you may have people next to you smoking. 
I would recommend staying here. Also the jewellery shop attached is worth a look lots of pieces of interest. 

Loved it

The fairly bland façade to this hotel gives you no clue as to what is inside once you walk through the door.  A very small boutique hotel that is beautifully furnished and has a heap of atmosphere.  Our room was just gorgeous and the attention to detail was impressive.  Our hostess very welcoming and obliging. The hotel is well situated near the old town.  Note there is no lift.

A unique experience

We were very happy with our choice to stay at the 3-rooms Vila Katharina. Instead of staying at a chain hotel with no atmosphere, this really has the old house feel with beautiful decoration. We had the Onyx Superior room and it was wonderful. Nicely decorated and bright with lots of windows. They reserved a parking spot for us right in front of the pension. We also bought a bottle of the drink they offered us when we arrived as it was so good. Beautiful stay
