Craiova sits in the plain and it gets genuinely hot. Every premises in this guide is measured on the same ten-point scale — how cold it actually is where you sit, not what the sign on the door claims.
Cold everywhere — lobby, corridors, restaurant and rooms alike. The best air conditioning we have measured in Craiova.
Cools hard and holds it, across the whole room.
Floor-standing units in the room rather than a split over the door, so it is cold where you sit.
Cool where you sit and wait — comfortable through a hot afternoon.
Cool through the room, not just at the door. Comfortable to sit in for a long stretch on a hot afternoon.
Mediocre for a building this size — cooler than the street, but not cold.
Cooler than the street and no more. The old factory hall is a lot of volume to cool — fine while you walk, warm if you sit.
Struggles on a hot day. The upstairs room is the warmest part; the terrace is the cooler option.
Barely cooled. A few stands run their own unit, but the aisles hold the heat and the yard between the pavilions has no shade at all — go early on a hot day.
One scale everywhere: ten is cold in every part of the building, one is a unit that cannot hold the room. It is a reading of the air conditioning on a hot day, not a verdict on the place — a café at four may still have the better coffee.
