Danube Delta Hotels/Hostels

Sfantu Gheorghe

There are several cazares (homes with a spare room) and pensiunes (one step above) here: you can accept an offer from those who greet the boat, or ask around. Wild camping is possible on the beach, but it gets very windy and it’s a long 2km hike in the dark.

Pensiune Mareea
Tel. +40 (0) 744 306 389
Singles with full board 52 euros
doubles with full board 69 euros
The best place in town is a 250m walk straight from the dock. Comfortable lodgings and memorable home-cooked meals notwithstanding, the owners offer a full range of boat excursions, starting at eight euros per person, going to 120 euros for a four-person, full-day trip into varied landscapes in both sea and lake/canal ecosystems.

There's more selection, the best of which is:

Pensiune Riviera
Tel. +40 (0) 240 545 910

Just 50m down the road where the maxitaxi lets you off (further in the same direction), this B&B arranges boat trips into the canals for about 15 euros an hour.

Camping & Hotel Pelican
Tel +40 (0) 240 545 877
Double with breakfast 29 euros
Hut 10 euros
Tent site per person 1.50 euros
About 3km from the maxitaxi stop, and 1.5km from the Navrom ferry port; has the advantage of being near the river but is otherwise a lonely, drab place. Alternately, some people camp wild by the riverbanks here.

It has various types of accommodation in the area and prices vary accordingly. There is a restaurant, bar, disco and sunbathing terrace. Guests can waterski, windsurf, and hire small rowing boats or motorboats to explore the delta (though rentals here are more expensive than elsewhere).
