2.0 out of 5 stars This book paints a pretty dismal picture of Romania., 19 Nov 2001
By A Customer
I've used this book for almost 3 years. Although it does provide a lot of useful information, I found it very negative about Romania in general. Accommodation and restaurants change a lot in Romania so it is difficult for this section to be accurate. Usually I'm a rough guide fan but in the case of Romania, I found the lonely planet much better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Out-of-date reviews, up-to-date book!, 18 Jan 2006
By A Customer
The tired old reviews complaining that the Rough Guide to Romania talks only about tired old hotels should be removed - the book has been updated and does give a fair picture of Romania today. I suspect the references to Hungarian culture are so noticeable because minority cultures are of particular interest to foreign visitors - of course the majority culture is covered and appreciated, but why bother saying 'this is a typically Romanian town' all the time??

5.0 out of 5 stars Complete and accurate information, 13 Aug 2001
By A Customer
This guide provides terrific general and at the same time specific information on a beautiful country. The objectivity and thoroughness of its information even amazed my Romanian friends. The level of detail included is 'life-saving' for the independent traveller.
