Hotels near Mihail Kogălniceanu International Airport
Mamaia and the Năvodari coast
13-15 km from the airport, 15-20 minutes by car or taxi; no direct train or bus, only a private transfer or car rental.
Best for: Those flying in for the sea and the Black Sea beaches: this is the area closest to the airport and the reason most flights to CND exist.
- A shorter distance from the airport than to the centre of Constanța
- Beach, seafront and summer nightlife concentrated within a few kilometres of coastline
- Out of season (October-May) much of the hotels, restaurants and bars close
- Without your own car, moving along the coastal strip depends on taxis or paid transfers
Recommended hotels
- Crowne Plaza Constanta - Mamaia Beach by IHG The only international chain hotel on the coast, on Mamaia Boulevard near Lake Siutghiol; a heated indoor pool and a seasonal outdoor pool, useful even in the colder months. View availability

Constanța and the Casino Peninsula
23-26 km from the airport, about 25-30 minutes by car or taxi; here too there's no direct public link to the airport.
Best for: Those who want the old town, the Art Nouveau Casino and the Tomis harbour, accepting a longer transfer from the airport.
- Constanța Casino, the National History and Archaeology Museum and the Tomis marina within walking distance
- Year-round city life, unlike the coast, which empties out of season
- A longer transfer from the airport than for Mamaia
- The city-centre beaches (Modern Beach) are smaller and less organised than those on the coast to the north
Recommended hotels
