Lilla Apartments

Lilla Apartments Overview

You know what struck me first about Lilla Apartments? It’s tucked away on Strada Morii, which honestly sounds way more intimidating than it actually is – it’s just this quiet residential street that feels like you’ve stumbled into the real Odorheiu Secuiesc, not some tourist bubble. The building itself has that understated Romanian charm where you’re not quite sure if it’s going to be amazing or just okay until you step inside, and trust me, it’s definitely the former.

The apartments themselves are honestly better than most hotels I’ve stayed in. I mean, having a proper kitchenette changes everything when you’re traveling – you can grab fresh bread from the local bakery (there’s one just a few blocks down toward the town center) and actually feel like you’re living somewhere instead of just passing through. The space feels generous too, which is rare for European accommodations. What really got me was the attention to detail – the linens are actually nice, not just white and functional, and someone clearly thought about lighting because you can actually read at night without squinting. The Wi-Fi works properly too, which sounds basic but you’d be surprised how many places mess that up.

Location-wise, you’re about a ten-minute walk from the main square, which puts you right in the sweet spot – close enough to wander over for dinner or morning coffee, but far enough that you won’t hear drunk tourists at 2 AM. Odorheiu Secuiesc isn’t exactly a party town anyway, but still. The neighborhood feels safe, and there’s usually parking available on the street, which is honestly a relief because Romanian city parking can be… well, let’s just say it’s not always straightforward. I actually ended up loving the walk into town because you pass by these little gardens and get a real sense of how people actually live here. The staff – well, the person who handled check-in – was genuinely helpful without being overly chatty, gave me solid recommendations for local spots, and didn’t try to upsell me on anything. That 9.5 rating makes total sense once you’ve been there a couple days. It’s not flashy or Instagram-perfect, but everything just works the way it should, and in a town where you really want to focus on exploring the Székely culture and maybe taking day trips into the surrounding hills, having a comfortable, well-run base makes all the difference.
