Location
Apartament nou de 3 stele Sophia Parking free sits 6.7 km from the centre of Timișoara, in Giroc. You are outside the ring, so reckon on a tram or a bus into the centre; the trade is usually parking and a quieter street.
The quarter around it is covered on the Giroc și Chișoda page, which sets out what it costs, how you get in and out, and what is against it.
The facilities, in detail
The supplier record lists 44 facilities. Parking appears in the listing, which matters inside the ring where metered space is short. Air conditioning is listed — worth confirming for July and August, when the city sits around 30°C. There is a kitchen or a fridge in the record, so a long stay need not eat out every night.
Facility lists in this catalogue are supplied by the property and are not checked by us. Anything that decides your booking — a lift, a cot, parking, a late arrival — is worth confirming directly before you pay.

About Giroc și Chișoda, in brief
Giroc și Chișoda suits travellers who need a base in Timișoara but want to sleep away from the city centre. These two communes, immediately south of the ring road, have grown quickly into a commuter belt of new-build houses and wide streets. The area is popular with families visiting relatives, contractors on short assignments, and anyone driving through the Banat region who values easy parking over a central address. If your trip revolves around the city's museums, restaurants and nightlife, you will spend more time on the bus or in the car than you might like. But if you have business in the southern industrial zones, or you simply want a quiet night and a supermarket within walking distance, it can work well.
The main public transport link is the 40-series bus, which runs from Giroc and Chișoda to Timișoara's southern districts. Route 40 goes from Giroc to Piața Traian, while route 41 connects Chișoda to the same area. From there you can transfer to trams or trolleybuses for the city centre. The journey to Piața Victoriei takes about 30 to 40 minutes in total, depending on connections. A single ticket costs 2.5 RON (EUR 0.50), September 2026, and a day pass is 8 RON (EUR 1.60). Buses run every 15 to 20 minutes during peak hours, but after 8 pm frequency drops to every 30 to 40 minutes, and on Sundays to every hour. If you are out late, you will need a taxi.
The full guide to the quarter, with what it costs and what is against it, is on the Giroc și Chișoda page.
Things to know, from the quarter guide:
Good to know before you book
Cobbles are the usual surprise in the centre: wheeled cases rattle and heels suffer. Most museums close on Monday. Terraces take cards; the markets and the bakeries prefer cash.
Coming in by tram is straightforward, but buy the ticket in the app or at the kiosk before you board — you cannot pay the driver.
Where our data comes from
This page is built from the booking catalogue, not from a visit. The name, the star rating, the address, the coordinates and the facility list are the supplier's own record for hotel 21743162; the distances are measured from those coordinates to Piața Unirii. Nobody pays to appear here and there is no commission ranking.
What we have written ourselves — the quarters, the guides, the things to do — is on the rest of the site, and it is written from the ground. This page is a catalogue entry, and says so.
