Ospitalier invites you to enjoy a property with pedigree: Iosefin Grand17, in the historic Pension Fund Palace, built 1896–1897, old Iosefin.
Nearly 150 sqm, 2 bedrooms with 2 grand-king beds plus a daybed, sleeping up to 6, beneath soaring ceilings and arched windows: cream, deep green and dark wood, a quietly old money tone throughout.
Free parking in the private courtyard. An address for guests who prefer heritage, hosted with the care we are known for.
Iosefin Grand17 sits inside the Palatul Fondului de Pensii (1896–1897), one of the Iosefin quarter's landmark buildings, spanning ~150 sqm with room for up to 6 guests. The apartment offers 2 bedrooms with grand king-size beds plus a daybed that opens to a queen bed for additional sleeping space, and free parking on premises, minside the courtyard.
A quick note on the building: As a 19th-century heritage building, the common areas, particularly the staircases, are currently in rough shape. A full building restoration is planned for 2027. The apartment itself has been fully renovated inside.
Layout & Flow
A large entry hallway welcomes you in, with the kitchen on the left and a service bathroom (toilet and sink) on the right. The hallway opens into the private living room, beneath soaring ceilings and tall arched windows original to the 19th-century building.
From the living room, the first bedroom (with the grand king bed and daybed) is to the left. To the right, a second hallway leads to the dedicated workspace, the main bathroom, a storage room, and the second bedroom.
The whole apartment is on a single level, and as is typical for a building of this age, the wooden floors can have some natural give or vibration underfoot — part of the charm of staying somewhere with this much history.
Bedrooms
Each bedroom is furnished with a grand king-size bed (180x200cm) made up with fresh bed linens, a wardrobe for clothing storage with hangers, a reading chair, a bedside lamp, room-darkening shades, and its own air conditioning unit.
The first bedroom also holds the daybed (opens to a queen bed, 160x200cm) — a comfortable fit for families or small groups. A small shelf of books and reading material sits nearby.
The second bedroom offers a more intimate retreat, with a grey armchair and a makeup/vanity table by the window.
A quick note on the daybed: it comes prepared with bed linens for groups of 5+ guests. If you're staying with 4 or fewer guests but need the daybed made up, just let us know in advance and we're happy to accommodate.
Workspace
A dedicated desk with a table lamp and nearby power outlet is set up for guests who need to get online — its own quiet corner, separate from the bedrooms and living room. Wifi is available throughout the apartment.
Kitchen & Dining
The fully equipped kitchen includes a stovetop, oven, extractor hood, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, hot water kettle, and a Nespresso coffee machine, alongside cooking basics (oil, salt and pepper) and all the dishes, silverware, and wine glasses you'll need.
A small breakfast bar with 4 stools sits opposite the main counter.
The main dining table in the living seats 6 and comes fully set for a proper sit-down meal.
Bathrooms
A service bathroom sits just off the entry hallway, with a toilet and sink for quick access.
The main bathroom, off the second hallway, is finished in warm travertine and mosaic tile, with a walk-in glass shower, a wall-hung toilet with bidet spray, an oak vanity with a round mirror, and a dedicated shelf stocked with fresh towels, shampoo, conditioner, body soap, and shower gel.
Storage & Laundry
A separate storage room next to the main bathroom holds a washer, drying rack for clothing, and iron.
Living Room
Sink into the tan leather sofa or one of the two upholstered accent chairs, arranged around a coffee table on a woven rug, with a TV for evenings in. The living room's tall windows overlook the historic streets of Iosefin, making it the natural heart of the apartment for gathering and relaxing.
We're genuinely proud of this apartment: if anything's unclear or you need something during your stay, just reach out, we're always happy to help make it feel like home.
The entire home is available for guests, except a storage space next to the bathroom (mostly supplies) that is marked as private.
Access to the apartment is done via stairs from 2 directions inside the building yard - where you can also park a car.
I'm available by text, phone or email, and I'm happy to offer any advice around town.
To ensure everyone enjoys their stay:
- Smoking is not permitted inside. You need to go down to the backyard.
- No parties
- Please keep noise levels low after 10pm—the building is home to long-term residents who appreciate peaceful evenings.
