Where to Stay in Cluj-Napoca during Untold

Finding a place to sleep is the hardest part of planning this trip, as rooms not only sell months in advance, but prices also skyrocket during that period. So my best advice: book as early as possible, even if it’s months in advance!

For budget-friendly options, I recommend Hotel Olimp, Pensiunea Giulia Home, or Pensiunea Junior. For even more options, I recommend looking at the available listings here.

If hotels and standard rentals are completely booked or overpriced, look into the official Untold campus accommodations.

It is a great budget option and keeps you surrounded by other festival-goers – although with a hostel, noisy vibe.

If Cluj is entirely full, you can look for places in nearby towns like Floresti or Apahida. Just keep in mind that you will rely heavily on rideshares or buses to get to the arena every day and it will be crowded.

Buying Tickets & more Details

The ticket prices for Untold 2026 currently start around €165 to €200 for general access passes spanning all four days. If you want an upgraded experience, VIP tickets start at roughly €450.

My tip: get these tickets early, as their price will increase as the festival’s date nears by (not to mention the risk of them getting sold out, as it happened with the “under 25” tickets.).

IMPORTANT LINKS: For tickets, visit Untold’s official page. Make sure to also follow Untold Festival on Facebook, Instagram or TikTok.

Finally, download the official apps for Untold from Google Play or the App Store.

The Untold Cashless Payment System

Untold is a completely cashless festival, using the wristband for everything. This means that you cannot buy drinks, food, or merchandise with physical money or a standard credit card at the vendor booths!

You load your wristband with money beforehand (you can do it online too, which I recommend doing to avoid the massive lines). When the festival is over, you can easily request a refund online for any unspent money left on your chip.

And since this festival takes place in Cluj Napoca and you might still have some time for exploring around a bit, make sure to check out my previous articles sharing the best restaurants in Cluj Napoca, as well as the top things to do and see in Cluj.

Now, with all these in mind, let’s check out the full Untold festival Line-up and Schedule for one of the biggest and best music festivals in Romania.
