The standard double room was excellent. Check in was quick and simple. The room was spacious with a great bathroom/dressing gowns and shower. Staff were all great. The continental breakfast was excellent with fresh food topped up whenever you needed it. The hotel was perfectly located for all local amenities and site seeing. Travellers should be aware there is no hotel bar or restaurant, but use local guidebooks or websites and you will find everything you need.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The hotel is located in an area that is being rebuilt. In fact there is no paved street near it, so be aware that the surroundings are not beautiful. But the hotel itself appears new and well cared for. We loved that it had no carpet; the flooring made it easier to roll our luggage and there was no musty carpet smell in the hallways or in the room. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean and nicely decorated, and the shower had great water pressure. The buffet breakfast was delicious with lots of variety in foods. The staff and the front desk were friendly and helpful. The hotel is a short walk to the Old Town and many restaurants.

Beautiful new hotel. It is just 1 block from Old Town. Don't be deceived by the poor condition of the road out front, the hotel is beautiful. The front staff were very helpful and very friendly. We had a suite for 3. It was quite spacious with large windows. Room was very clean and bathroom large. Even the continental breakfast was very good with fresh items, cold and hot, fresh juice,and coffee. I have nothing bad to say. This is my new go-to when visiting Bucharest (which I do often).

The hotel is located near to the old town which is nice. The surroundings were not that nice since the streets near by are very bumpy. We had a first floor suite. The suite itself was comfortable and spacious. The view from our window was straight to the garbage place where birds and other animals were digging. But that was part of the experience. Via hotels.com we paid 134 €/night (stayed for 2) and due to that I would have expected that there is enough shower gel and shampoo for our 2 night stay. The bottles were empty as we arrived. They filled them as I requested that but however this should not be an issue on your vacation to worry such things since the price is relatively high. Also the cleaning was very light in the room , wiping the tables would have been nice. These things are not very welcoming for the guests. Small things matter! The breakfest was tasteful and the lady greeting us there was always friendly and welcoming. Had great time in Bucharest!

Allt superfräscht i detta nya hotell! Mycket hjälpsam personal, mycket gott, att välja på från frukostbordet. Bra sängar i ett tyst rymligt rum där mörkläggningsgardiner och ac hjälpte oss att sova gott. Badrumsgolvet kan vara halt inne i själva duschutrymmet, så var lite försiktig där.
