Founded in 2001 we are the first and best hostel in Brasov. Co-owned and run by a Korean-American and a local Romanian. We understand travelers' needs because we are backpackers.

Kismet is actually an English word meaning fate, adopted from Arabic. Dao (or Tao) means The Way. Daoism is an ancient Chinese philosophy. The basic eternal principle of the universe that transcends reality and is the source of being, non-being, and change is the Dao. Put the two together and you have Kismet Dao, the Way of Fate. Find yourself here.

Directions

ADDRESS:

Kismet Dao Hostel
Str. Democratiei, 2 (near piata unirii)
Brasov, Romania


DIRECTIONS:

Our hostel is easily accessible from the train station, where you will be greeted by one of our staff, if required, to escort you to the hostel safely. Let us know when you will arrive (which train). Exceptions are middle of the night arrivals, e.g. 3am.

Taxi-- A ride from the train station should cost about 2 EUROS or 7 lei (as of May 2006). Use only taxis with company names on them (e.g. ATI, Martax, Tod, RO.) and make sure they turn the meter on. It is better most times to take a taxi than a bus.

Bus-- Take bus #51 from the train station to the last stop at Piata Unirii. Each ticket costs 1.5 lei which you buy from a kiosk. Make sure you validate your ticket on board and WATCH FOR PICKPOCKETS!

From the #51 bus stop walk to St. Nicholas Church (in your front left), then walk up Balea Street (between the church and the big Coca-cola sign) then take the first right on to Str. Democratiei.
