The article in this travel magazine said the hotel is quite scary. It's very old world, but it's also very comfortable. All of the rooms are decorated in the local Transylvanian theme; not really "Dracula" so much, but rather what you would find in the homes of the area a hundred years ago. But at night it gets very spooky and this is when the fun begins. The natural beauty of Transylvania provides much of the spookiness with the howling of the wind and wolves, and bats flying around everywhere. And if that isn't enough, the employees dress up as vampires and randomly wander the halls. The author of the article did go down to Dracula's crypt but failed to open the coffin. S/he became too frightened and fled back up the stairs in terror.
They also advised against staying at this hotel during the summer. It is not airconditioned, and apparently Romania gets very hot in the summer, even in the mountains.
Anyway, it sounds like a lot of fun to me. I'd love to stay there, but I'd have to have a couple of friends with me. I wouldn't want to stay there alone. Huh-uh!
