3-star hotels in Zalau
A shortlist of the 3-star hotels in Zalău, in Sălaj County, Romania, drawn from the booking catalogue and ordered by distance from the centre of the town. It is for travellers who want a simple, well-equipped base in Zalău without going up a class.
Staying in Zalau
Zalău sits in Sălaj County, in the north-west of Romania. All the hotels on this shortlist carry the same 3-star class, but they differ in shape: some are full hotels with restaurants and conference halls, others are guesthouses or apartment-style studios, so the choice comes down to the kind of stay you want rather than the star rating. Every property here is addressed in Zalău, Sălaj County, so the whole shortlist is based in the town itself rather than in the surrounding countryside. That suits couples on a short break, business travellers who need a meeting room or a desk and reliable internet, and families who want family rooms or a playground.
