The hotel is located in a very convenient location, close to the Cismigiu garden and local transportation in the Kogalniceanu plaza. The staff is friendly and the morning breakfast is tasty, however the rooms are quite small, it is a pre-war historical building. If you look for something a little brighter and spaceous this is not it. However, the friendly staff, the convinent location and the breakfast choice make this place a satisfying choice for a short vacation.

Comfortable

A nice hotel which can be reached by getting the 85 bus from Gara Nord. The room was spacious and the beds very comfortable. A nice touch to have bathrobes and slippers. The buffet breakfast consisted mostly of continental food types although there were fried and scrambled eggs as well as sausages and another hot dish (changed). It was value for money and not too far from the sights if you are happy to walk 15-20mins.

Very nice hotel central to most things. Comfy room with kettle, robes & slippers. It was late by the time I checked in & not many restaurants close by were open & the rain was heavy. Luckily a mini market just next door offered something. Decent breakfast spread. Enjoyed it overall.

Place is nice, We've booked a suite on the 4th floor, Nice and peaceful, but I must say you need to have a shower curtains for the bathtub, It was absolute disaster in the bathroom without this, also a little bin in the room can be quite handy, we only had one in the bathroom. Would I stay there again.? YES I will, but please sort out the bathroom shower curtains. Staff is friendly. I'd have given 5 stars if above 2 can be sorted.

Everything I expected :)

2 night break, great location, quiet enough to be out of the way of the crowds in old town but close to walk. Next to several big green parks. Recently renovated and super friendly staff! Breakfast could use a little improvement but it's totally good for the price!! :)

Great location. Within walking distance of main attractions, approx 10 minutes. Staff were polite but didn’t offer any tourist or sightseeing advice. Breakfast was plentiful but a strange mix of food options. Room was clean and tidy however there was a strong smell of sewage which didn’t really go away. Walls were paper thin and there was a lot of corridor noise. Our room was an adjoining room and unfortunately we could hear everything the next door room was doing and saying. Bucharest is a lovely city and well looked after. This hotel is ideal if you are just using it as a base to explore.

Supposedly a 4 star hotel, however, once I was in my room I noticed the floors where dirty and hairs were stuck to the wall around the shower which was disgusting. The room was far too hot with no way to cool it down which made it difficult to sleep and relax. Tea and coffee was provided, however there was no kettle! I was told to ring reception each time to request a cup of hot water to enjoy a tea or coffee. They clearly can’t be bothered to buy new kettles for the rooms which are missing them. After my first full day in Bucharest I arrived back to my room to find men’s hair all over the bathroom floor which I found not on my disgusting but disturbing as well, the cleaning team need some training as this is clearly acceptable to them. I showed the receptionist who was obviously disgusted as well and she requested it to be cleaned the next day. Obviously, no one checks the cleanliness or work of the cleaners before guests arrive - you arrive and then have to ask them to clean the room (you would think it would already be clean). For a four star hotel I was really disappointed and wish I’d stayed somewhere else.

Das Personal im Hotel ist sehr freundlich. Unser Zimmer war groß und ziemlich sauber, die Betten sehr gut. Das Bad klein, aber sauber. Die Vorhänge im Zimmer teils heruntergerissen, so dass wir nicht vollständig verdunkeln konnten. Vor den Fenstern sehr viele Tauben, allerdings gab es Fliegengitter, so dass sie nicht ins Zimmer gelangen konnten. Die Straßen in Bukarest sind allgemein sehr laut, es wird viel und gerne gehupt, so auch sehr früh morgens vor dem Hotel. Unser Zimmer wurde nicht gereinigt (wir waren 2 Nächte da), zum Glück hatten wir die Handtücher nicht auf den Boden geworfen, denn wir haben die "Nichtreinigung" erst am späten Abend bemerkt, so dass es nicht mehr zu ändern war. Wir haben nicht im Hotel gefrühstückt.

Siamo stati in questo hotel per un fine settimana. La struttura è in ottima posizione per muoversi facilmente a piedi rispetto ai principali luoghi di interesse. La stazione della metro è a 10 minuti a piedi. Per quanto riguarda la struttura, l'hotel è pulito, con una buona colazione e un fantastico personale! Consigliatissimo!
