As of February 2011, the Kismet Dao Hostel moved to a new location on Neagoe Basarab street #8.

Our new dead-center location in the Old Town means we are conveniently close to everything by foot:

• 5 minutes to Republicii street (where virtually everything happens),
• 7 minutes to Piata Sfatului (the main square) and the Black Church,
• 2 minutes to all the conveniences such as supermarket "Star" and the central post office.

Directions

By Bus:

Take bus #51 from the train station to the 4th stop or bus #4 to the 5th stop. Each ticket costs 2 lei which you buy from a kiosk. Make sure you validate your ticket on board because the ticket officials will fine you if your ticket is not stamped.

As you get off the bus go left and cross the street at the traffic lights and follow the Agriselor street all the way to the end. Cross the street again and follow the street going uphill. You will then see the hostel on the right hand side. The walk takes about 5 minutes. See static map with highlights or Google map with directions.

By Taxi:

It is better most times to take a taxi than a bus, as it is cheap and fast. A ride from the train station should cost about 2 Euros or approx. 10 RON. Use only taxis with company names on them (e.g. RO, ATI, MARTAX, TOD) and make sure they turn the meter on.

By Foot:

A walk in good weather from the train station to the hostel takes about 25 minutes (~1.5 km distance). See Google map with directions.
