Kismet Dao is one of the best hostels I have ever stayed at! They welcomed us very friendly and as we were a little bit to early to check in they offered us drinks and breakfast and gave us free internet… The rooms are all divided into different themes. We were in the snorers room! The beds were very comfy... More

one of the top 2 hostels we stayed at in terms of facilities, extra effort had obviously been put in. Kitchen, bathrooms, dorms, common room, all really nice and spacious. the staff were really friendly and helpful and there were nice little touches like breakfast, coffee, free internet. Nice social vibe among the travellers too. More

Kismet Dao Hostel is quaint. The rooms are simple, as are the bathrooms, but it is a place where you feel safe and secure. They have a really nice common room in the basement where it is really Easy to meet others, as well as a large kitchen. Breakfast is provided and is very decent! They can organize tours to... More

Overall, Kismet Dao is much better than average. I stayed here for two nights in May 2011. PROS: - Modern clean rooms, with great views of the mountains and the residential. The room I was in had a huge window. This is not a run-down place at all. It is very well-maintained. It was quiet and serene--great for a daytime... More

Brasov is a beautiful city and our stay with Kismet was awesome. The dorms and beds are exceptionally clean, along with the kitchen and bathrooms too. The lounge area downstairs is very cool, with a big TV, movies, comfy couches and some art on the walls you really must see! With WiFi, breakfast and laundry this hostel is fantastic value... More

I wish I'd booked my stay at Kismet Dao through one of the big hostel booking sites so that my review could reach more backpackers, as I think there are some important things to know before booking a bed or room here. I always like to stay in smaller rooms in hostels, and while there were no six-bed rooms available... More

Kismet Dao is a great place to stay. The receptionists are extremely friendly, funny and helpful, not to mention beautiful, and all speak perfect english. We arrived at 4 am and didnt have a room to stay in until the next night, but the receptionist let us sleep on the coaches in the basement and told us romanian bedtime stories... More
