Overnight on the way to Bucharest
The Ioana is a good hotel. Not a 5 star by Uk standards but a solid 4. Rooms are comfortable with fabulous linen. The bathrooms are large and stylish. The common areas are clean and comfy but there is no bar area, the 'lounge' is more like a large lobby. The 'spa' is a room with a hot tub and small sauna which two people can use at a time if you book. The food at the Forest restaurant is good but not five star standard. The sommelier however is very informative about Romanian wine and a great guy to chat to, so be sure to use him! The breakfast looks impressive but there is little substance if you're not used to Romanian breakfasts - which consist of a lot of cheese and pickles and cured meats. The hotel is a 20-30 minute walk from the centre of Sinaia or £1 in a taxi. It's good to be out of the town though as the place is heaving with coaches visiting Peles Castle. It's nice and quiet to be out of the way a little!
