Casa Cranta
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Casa Cranta is worth booking if you want a 4-star stay with free parking for the lowest price among our three Brașov picks and do not mind a 13-minute walk to the Black Church. Skip it if you have heavy bags or limited mobility, because guests report there is no lift.

Drivers get the clearest benefit. Free parking is listed, which is not common close to an old town. Couples and friends on a short city break who want a good breakfast and a calm base a little above the centre will also do well here.
Travellers with mobility issues, young children in buggies or large suitcases should think twice. Several guests mention there is no elevator and that luggage has to be carried up multiple flights of stairs.
Location and getting around
The address is Str. Maior Cranta nr.3A, listed in the Brasov Old Town area. Straight-line estimates put Biserica Neagră (the Black Church) at 1 km, about 13 minutes on foot. Catherine's Gate is 1.2 km, around 15 minutes, and St. Nicholas Church is 1.8 km, about 23 minutes.
So this is a short walk to the centre rather than a front-door location. Guests like that walk and mention panoramic views over the city and the mountains. The location score is 9.3. Walking times have not been verified on the ground, and the route may include slopes, so check a map if walking is hard for you.
What guests say
Casa Cranta scores 9.0 out of 10 from 567 reviews. Guests praise a friendly, attentive team that gives a warm welcome and useful local advice. The location also comes up often, for the short walk into the historic centre and the views.
The main complaint is practical: no lift. If you are given a room on an upper floor, expect to carry your bags yourself up the stairs.
Price and what you get against our other two picks
The reference price was €80.92 per night, about €161.84 for two nights. These are reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, not live quotes. That was 15% below the sample median of €95.16 per night.
Hotel Bella Muzica, our Best Value pick, was €107.13 per night with a 9.1 score, 3 stars and a spot right on the main square. Radisson Blu Aurum Hotel, Brasov, our Luxury pick, was €194.61 per night with 9.3 and 5 stars. Casa Cranta gives you the most stars for the money and free parking, and asks you to trade a central address and a lift for that saving.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 6 eligible hotels in Brașov. The Budget slot goes to the lowest eligible reference price once the upscale pick is set aside, and Casa Cranta came out cheapest. It did so with a solid 9.0 score from 567 reviews, which is why we are comfortable recommending it rather than simply listing the cheapest option.
