The Old Town Hostel in Sibiu

zuletzt aktualisiert am 05.01.2010

We are proud to be the best established youth hostel in town and the most recommended! Our hostel combines its splendid location with excellent services. It is an international meeting point for backpackers, individual budget travellers and groups.   The hostel is located in the heart of the historical centre, in Piata Mica (""Little Square""), the oldest and most romantic of Sibiu squares, in a 450 year old building with Renaissance style arcades, at the first floor above the Pharmacy Museum. This museum holds the furniture and equipment of the oldest Transylvanian pharmacy. There is also a room dedicated to Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy and personal physician of the Baron von Brukenthal. Piata Mica (The Little Square), where our hostel is located, lies within the second belt of the town fortifications. In medieval times, it was the place where market was held, and under the arcades of the old houses merchants offered their goods for sale. Today, under these arcades there are small cafes. All of Sibiu's amenities (museums, the historical centre with its narrow crooked alleys and venerable old houses) as well as the best restaurants and pubs are at a stone's throw from our hostel. You can visit the Brukenthal Palace with its art gallery and library, the Ethnographic Museum ""Franz Binder', the Museum of History, the Museum of Natural History, the Pharmacy Museum.       Old Town Hostel is a project with the aim of establishing self determined multicultural dialogue between locals and travellers.
