Ne-am cazat la Hotel Călărași două nopți, unde totul a fost Ok. Este un hotel mai vechi, dar îngrijit, lenjerie curată, prosoapele se schimbă zilnic cu strictul necesar la baie. Liftul funcționează chiar dacă este mai vechi. Mâncare variată și bună la restaurant, personal amabil. Situat lângă Parcul Central, aproape de Dunăre și brațul Borcea.

Good breakfasts are included in the price, the rooms are comfortable, even if they are a little "Soviet", I liked that they were very clean. On the banks of the Dniester.

Ein angenehmes Haus in guter Lage. Etwas in die Jahre gekommen aber Ok. Das Personal schien etwas lustlos, speziell beim Frühstück. Das Objekt liegt dicht neben einer wunderschönen Fußgängerzone. Die Google Navigation wolle uns ständig mitten durch bringen. Etwas verwirrend....

Pretty decent hotel for a small Romanian town such as Calarasi. Decent room, decent food. The location is nice, the Danube is literally across the street. Nice restaurants/ terraces are also nearby.

Am vizitat cofetăria și înghețata a fost foarte bună. Cafeaua și ea pe gustul meu, tare și aromată. Foarte multe opțiuni legat de prăjituri, înghețată, torturi, cât și băuturi. Au și terasă în aer liber, pe lângă locurile din interior unde beneficiază de aer condiționat
