Accommodation
HOTELS: Visitors are advised to book accommodation in advance through a travel agency, particularly for summertime visits to coastal resorts. Room prices in lower-end hotels are very reasonable compared to Western European prices, whereas 4- and 5-star hotels are comparable in both standards and price. Breakfast normally costs extra. For further information, contact the Romanian Tourist Office (see Contact Addresses section) or the Romanian Hotel Industry Federation (FIHR), Bulevardul Gheorghe Magheru 7, Third Floor, Room 71, RO701651 Bucharest (tel/fax: (21) 312 05708; fax: (21) 311 3363; e-mail: fihr@fx.ro; website: www.fihr-romanianhotels-org.ro). Grading: Hotels are classified from 1 to 5 stars.
BED & BREAKFAST: Accommodation of this type is plentiful in Romania and in smaller towns or villages may be the only options. Private rooms tend to be cheaper than hotel rooms and will be basic but comfortable. For further information, contact the Romanian National Tourist Office (see Contact Addresses section).
SELF-CATERING: Addresses of private accommodation and self-catering establishments are available from local tourist offices.
CAMPING/CARAVANNING: There are around 150 campsites in Romania. Prepaid tourist coupons valid from May to September are available from specialised travel agencies.
