“2nd Time in Bucharest and 2nd time in Athenee Palace Hilton”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

Staff is very professional and friendly. Breakfast choice is very large and excellent. Do not need to wait to be placed at your table for Breakfast - choose the table of your choice. You can ask for Expresso coffee. The chief concierge if very helpful. There is an ATM machine available near concierge. The location is central to Bucharest which makes it as the best choice to stay. I did not experienced the hotels restaurant. I had an opportunity for go to a typical Romanian restaurant next street.

Room Tip: Suites are street side with Balcony whereas standard rooms are on the opposite. (quit)

I visit Bucharest regularly for business, the Hilton always sticks out because of the friendly helpful staff. The rooms are what you would expect of a Hilton although a bot outdated. Location is very central.

“Not quite got it right yet!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

This was the most disappointing stop over on our fabulous Orient Express trip from Istanbul to Venice back in Sept.

Our tour guide kept telling us how Westernised and modern his City had become.

Perhaps this hadn't filtered down to Hilton Hotels!

The corridors and rooms looked like something out of a 70's Bond movie and the food at breakfast...well, thank goodness for lunch elsewhere!

Don't get me wrong. I'm comfortable with different cultures and standards, but Hiltons should be Hiltons!

“good servicies, but can be improved”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

the position of the hotel is very good, but the rooms are not so like a room of five stars hotel, the conferences halls are interesting.there are some problems regarding the restaurat and especially the quality of the food( example-the veal meat was not good at all) and sometimes the quality of the srvicies of the persons from restaurant.

“Rooms not great”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Although I suspect that there are different types of rooms in this hotel (i.e. recently refurbed ones and not recently refurbed ones), I can't say that my room, which was located at Club level was up the standard I was expecting. It was comfortable but it simply looked too much like a motorway hotel as far as the interior went.

Staff were as you'd expect from a hotel in this category but nothing more. It is a real shame that smoking is still allowed in the English bar because otherwise it would be a lovely bar (now it's simply too smoky). Breakfast is great and so the little bar at the front of the hotel (I forgot the name).

Thank you for taking the time to review our hotel. I am sorry you were not completely satisfied with your room. We took note of your comment regarding the staff and we’ll try harder to offer the extra smile our guests deserve. I am happy you enjoyed the Café Athenee, one of our newest restaurants and hope the next time you will also try the Roberto’s Restaurant and will give us your feed-back also.

I hope we will get the chance to welcome you again soon to the Athenee Palace Hilton.

Kind regards,
