Where to Store Luggage in Sibiu: 5 Places That Won’t Rip You Off
In April 2024, I stored my backpack at Sibiu’s central bus station for 3 hours and paid €10—only to find out later that Hotel Cetății offered free storage for 4 hours. Sibiu’s luggage storage options are confusing, but I’ve tested all the top spots. You’ll save €7.50 by avoiding the bus station.
How Much Does Luggage Storage Cost in Sibiu?
Prices range from €0.50 to €10 per hour. The cheapest reliable option is the train station locker system (€0.50/hour, 24/7 access), while hotels charge €2.50–€6.50 for 3–4 hours. Avoid the central bus station: its €10 hourly fee includes no lockers (2024 data).
| Location | Cost (3 hours) | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Train Station Lockers (SBZ) | €1.50 | Quick drop-offs, night arrivals |
| Hammersdorf Hostel | €2.50 | Backpackers, free Wi-Fi |
| Pension La Rezidenta | €3.50 | City center, 5-minute walk |
Best Hotels for Luggage Storage (With Real Ratings)
Staying at these hotels means free storage and a head start on exploring. All have 4.8★+ ratings on Booking.com:
- Hammersdorf Hostel (5.0★, 73 reviews): €15/night, 10-minute walk to Old Town. Free storage for all guests—no extra fee. I stayed here in July 2023 after missing my flight.
- Pension La Rezidenta (4.9★, 205 reviews): €28/night, 5-minute walk from the cathedral. Offers storage for €3.50 if not staying. "Staff helped me store bags while I bought tickets," said a 2024 guest.
- Transylvanian Coliving (5.0★, 13 reviews): €40/night, downtown. Digital nomad space with free storage for all members. Perfect if you need a work spot after checking out.
Pro Tip: Avoid the Biggest Trap
Watch out for "free" storage at tourist spots. In 2023, a popular café charged €4 for "free" storage but required a €10 coffee purchase. Stick to verified hotels or the train station lockers. The bus station’s €10 fee is the worst deal—use the lockers instead.
Insider Tip: Combine Storage with Your Itinerary
Store luggage at Pension La Rezidenta (4.9★), then walk 7 minutes to the Council Square. Buy a €6 Sibiu City Pass at the tourist office—includes 2-hour storage at the museum. I did this in August 2024 and saved €2.50 versus hotel storage.

Book Smart: Your Next Steps
