4- and 5-star hotels in Craiova
This shortlist gathers the 4- and 5-star hotels in Craiova, in Dolj County, drawn from 112 bookable properties in and around the city. It is for travellers who want a hotel with a full facility list and a higher star class rather than a simple guesthouse.
Staying in Craiova
Craiova is the main city of Dolj County in southern Romania, and the bookings catalogue used here covers 112 properties in and around it, ordered by distance from the centre. The hotels on this shortlist carry the suppliers' own star ratings and facility records, so the differences between them are practical rather than decorative: a pool or a gymnasium here, a business centre or an airport shuttle there.
All 15 names on this page are recorded at addresses in Craiova, Dolj County, so the choice is between individual properties rather than between districts. The range covers large city hotels, boutique guesthouses and an apartment-style option, which makes the list workable for couples taking a short break, families needing family rooms or extra space, and business travellers who want a business centre or a meeting room on site.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
The catalogue covers 112 bookable properties in and around Craiova, Dolj County, ordered by distance from the centre of Craiova. That ordering is the site's own measure of how far each property sits from the middle of the city. One hotel on this shortlist, Oltenia hotel, records a shuttle service among its facilities, and several others list car rental service or car parking. Beyond these supplier records the site gives no station, airport or timetable details.
When to go
Nothing in the site's own text for Craiova sets out a season, a month or a period to travel, and the property records here carry no seasonal information either. The only timing detail the catalogue offers is that rates resolve live for your dates when you open the booking page. For everything else, judge the season from the general climate of southern Romania rather than from anything stated on this page.
