A shortlist of the 4- and 5-star hotels in Craiova, drawn from the booking catalogue and ordered by distance from the centre. It is for travellers who want a confirmed address, a star rating and a facilities list before they decide where to sleep in Dolj County.
Staying in Craiova
Craiova, the capital of Dolj County, appears in the booking catalogue with 112 bookable properties in and around it. Every hotel on this page is a supplier record: name, star rating, coordinates and facilities come from the suppliers themselves, and the order runs from the closest to the centre outwards, never by commission. The city itself is the one the site's own text places the listings in, Dolj County, and the site presents the catalogue as a way to compare confirmed addresses rather than impressions.
The addresses on this shortlist all read Craiova, Dolj County, so the hotels sit within the city and its immediate surroundings rather than in scattered neighbouring towns. Rixo`s GuestHouse carries the top class here at 5 stars, while the rest are 4-star properties. The mix suits couples taking a short break, families who need family rooms or an apartment with a kitchen, and business travellers who want a business centre, a meeting room or a banquet hall.
