The property location is absolutely amazing! Very central, next door to Van Gough cafe. Couldn’t ask for better location if we tried. Staff were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Room was very spacious, clean and bed was really comfortable. Mini working fridge, water, tea, coffee, kettle, toilets, spa slippers, free safe, coat hangers. All very useful touches. Only issue which we raised with staff just for safety is our shower head kept falling down and causing a huge bang. I’m sure this is fixable and nothing too concerning. We had a late flight so there was space to put our luggage and toilet to get changed and freshen up before flights. We used Uber to get everywhere. Do not use the ordinary taxis, you will pay a hell of a lot more. Highly recommend the Therme Spa and full day trip to Peles castle, Brasvo, Bran Castle (Dracula). We booked it all through GetYourGuide and still very cheap. Our only minor Criticism was the breakfast. For us it was very bland and not much choice. Drinks hot or cold was good. There was hit omelettes made up which was nice but nothing much to go with it. There was bread roles but not my preference of bread. I would have liked ordinary toast and toaster machine so I could use all the jams which weee available. There was cheese and hams but again slightly bland and not my idea of breakfast. However for the location and price we can’t criticise too much and it has not put me off returning to this hotel. Thank you very much for our stay

“Great location for sightseeing”

Stayed for 2 nights, one being a Sunday evening. Reason I say this; we stayed in the ‘wonderful room balcony’ which does indeed have a fantastic view of the city.

Stayed for 2 nights, one being a Sunday evening. Reason I say this; we stayed in the ‘wonderful room balcony’ which does indeed have a fantastic view of the city. Unfortunately, the air con system was faulty which meant keeping the balcony door open for air. Man, was the music pumping! No doubt, it would have been quieter had the door been closed but, just to warn you, you will hear music at the weekend. Monday night was much quieter. Hotel is an old style building which I much prefer to the ‘faceless’ Marriotts. Staff were polite. Air con system was fixed during our stay so no complaints there. My only gripe; breakfast was bland, mediocre. The addition of some fruit would have improved it somewhat.

“Great location for sightseeing. Spacious, clean room.”

The hotel is located on a pedestrianised* street in the centre of the ‘old town’, so it is perfectly situated for sightseeing on foot, and near an abundance of bars/cafes/restaurants.

The hotel is located on a pedestrianised* street in the centre of the ‘old town’, so it is perfectly situated for sightseeing on foot, and near an abundance of bars/cafes/restaurants. (*Of course, this does mean that cars/taxis can’t come right to the hotel door, so there is a very short walk to and from the nearest place they can stop.) On arrival, we were warmly welcomed; and all the staff we met (in reception and in the breakfast room) were very friendly and helpful, and spoke excellent English. There is a small, ‘old-fashioned’ style lift (elevator) to reach the upper floors, but it worked well! The rooms were large, comfortable, well-furnished (in an older, more traditional style) and impressively clean, with good storage space and amenities including luggage rack, tea/coffee making, individual toiletries, and slippers. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The over-bath shower functioned very well. Very importantly (because there was unusually hot weather for the time of year when we stayed), the air conditioning was very efficient. We thought the breakfast was excellent for a hotel of this size. There were hot drinks, juices, hot omelette slices, boiled eggs, cereals, bread, rolls, pastries & cake, a selection of jam & other spreads, salami and cheese (and possibly other things I’ve forgotten too), and everything tasted fresh. There were just a couple of things that have led me to rate this as 4/5 rather than 5/5, although I’m not sure that either is really the hotel’s fault. Firstly, one of our nights was a Saturday and – despite the double-glazing - we were disturbed by noise (mainly loud music, presumably from a nearby venue) until well into the early hours of the morning. However, the other night was quiet – so perhaps this is just a Saturday night problem (or a one-off bad experience). Secondly, staff and guests tended to congregate right outside the front door of the hotel to smoke and vape, and the smoke seemed to come into the reception area, and also funneled up into the mezzanine breakfast room when the windows were open, and possibly to the bedrooms at the front of the hotel. I realise this wouldn’t be an issue for many people, but we are non-smokers and very sensitive to the smell of cigarettes. But overall, we thought this was an excellent hotel, and we would be very pleased to return if we come to Bucharest again.
