Pensiunea Mraconia is a nice place to stay at. It’s located in a very peaceful area surround with a lot of green ! There are a handful of visitable attractions near by. Since there are new owners the place became much more beautiful!!! It’s definitely worth it. 

Always worth it !

Found this jewel for our first night in Romania. We had rented a car in Belgrade and drove SE along the Romania side of the Danube. This pensiunea is located on a small inlet off the river and the access is a couple of KM up an unpaved road off the main paved road. The setting is beautiful park-like and the rooms are comfortable. The host Mihai and his family were warm and welcoming and very helpful in planning the next leg of our journey. They don't have food yet, but we had the use of a well equipped kitchen and living/dining area and there is a great restaurant called September located right on the river a couple of KM down the road toward Drobeta-Turnu Severin. 

Jewel on the Danube

We stayed there for two nights and ended up regretting not staying more.
The personnel is very friendly and helpful.The location is breathtaking and there are plenty of activities to fill your days. You can swim in the hotel pool, do some sunbathing on the private beach, go on boat rides on the Danube, rent a bike from the hotel or just take long walks around - view is awesome.
Some important things to know:
- It is quite far from Orsova city, around 15km. It is also further than the village of Eselnita so don't plan hiking or getting a cab. The owner is helpful, ask him for directions via mail/phone.
- If you come by car, the road is good up to the statue of Decebal, where you have to take a right to a ~1 KM unpaved road. It's not that bad but be prepared to wash your car when you leave as it will gather dust during your stay. The hotel has video surveillance of the parking which is also good.
- you have to bring and cook your own food here. There are enough resources in nearby Orsova but it's good to have everything when you arrive. This way you won't waste 2-3 hours to re-fill your supplies. There are enough appliances to help you cook (barbecue included) although there could be limited space in the fridge&freezer if there are many guests. Pasta, rice and stuff like that can be a good idea. If you're a fisher, the food aspect may be easier to handle.
- Talk to the owner/personnel for boat rides. If enough guests agree, they can arrange for a boat to come pick everyone up right from the hotel. We missed it :)

Excellent location, very friendly people

I liked the rooms - all newly furbished, with nice bathrooms, good towels, good beds.
Loved the view towards the river - nice garden, and very nice view. 
Loved the sunbeds and all the accommodations for people to cook their own food 
Disliked:
- the administrator smelling of alcohol. He was friendly but, well, that made me uncomfortable. 
- no possibility to buy anything in the accommodation, not even water - tricky when the nearest shop is in Orsova, some many kms away. So do your shopping beforehand - you can cook there without problems
- same prices for all rooms, including one with a bathroom outside of the room (granted, a big bathroom), including the small room nr 1, the big room nr 3, and the room in the attick, with a sink so small I could not wash my teeth in there. 
- the water heater probably worked for others, but late in the evening I got cold water only, and around 10 AM I got cold water again. Annoying.

newly furbished rooms, but high prices for varying sizes of rooms

The rooms are small, they say that they have A/C but in reality they don't have in the room, you have to sleep with the door from your room opened to have some cold air. The bathroom is really small, with a sink smaller than the one in the airplanes. The bathroom is dirty and smelly. The carpet from the room smells like dirty foot... They are in the middle of nowhere without restaurant and even the possibility to buy a bottle of water. The access until the guesthouse is terrible. 1.2 km of off-road, if you like your car, try to avoid. We drive this distance in 15 minutes. For us was the first time when we left earlier from our vacation. I appreciate that the host charged us only for the night we stayed. He is friendly and a good man, to bad of the conditions that he offers. The garden is spectacular, with nice view, with grass, swimming pool, beach area. It's really nice and arranged, if he improves the conditions and he tries to offer more, he will have success. Otherwise he will die slowly but sure... My opinion.

Nice garden and location but that's all. Be careful before you go there

The good: The place is nice and clean, recently renovated. 
The bad: You will pay the same price for both the big rooms on the 1st floor and the very small ones on the second floor. 
The ugly: very crowded and noisy through the weekends with people visiting the hosts, actually at one point the pool was full of people that weren't staying there. Fishing should be out of the question and some of the rednecks that were visiting took the fishing tools down on several occasions. After many incidents like this, they become aggressive, swearing and coming towards us... for a fight or something. During all this time, the manager just stood there and after this he sat at the table with them while they continued to swear.

Nice location, poor services

There is no food no drink no wifi. Even not coffee in the morning. Very small uncomfortable rooms, not taken care. Also there is no POS, you must have cash, if you dont have you must drive back 15 km. If the price is 20 euro its ok but price is 60 euro. Totally disaster.
