The informal atmosphere is complemented by a 24/7 restaurant serving local dishes, especially popular fish specialties, enjoyed by both guests and locals.
The location is a strong draw, only a short walk from Tulcea’s train and bus stations, allowing easy access to the Danube Delta and nearby beaches such as Ciuperca Beach.

“Can t say anything about the rooms, but the restaurant was a pleasant surprise. It was 1st of December, Romanian National Day, and the glasses had napkins in the colors of the national flag in them. The service was very nice, fast, kind staff. Food is tasty, specially the fish dishes, but the portions could be a bit more generous.”
“Excellent location. Just adjacent to the railway station. A 300m from the bus station. A 300m away from the water front promenade. Clean, well equipped and room with reasonable size. Nice sunset view for room with balcony facing the lake.”
“Solo English speaking tourist - I stayed here for only one night as I was passing through Tulcea. Great room, perfect view. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful with very good english. Upon my return to Tulcea I missed the last bus back to Bucharest, and was finding it difficult to get help on the street. I returned to Hotel Insula to simply ask for help and the receptionist happily printed out the schedule of another bus company and told me where I needed to go. 10/10 will return!”
“Beautiful rooms with a view on the lake if you book the right ones. Very happy with our 2-person room with the small balkony. We arrived on a rainy day and the room made everything better imediately. The service is good too and the prices are affordable. Everything was very clean when we checked in and the bed felt comfortable.”
