“Something different at a reasonable price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

people found this review helpful

I've stayed in this hotel (and reviewed it) before, and we stayed here again on 2 seperate weekends in January 2012. The hotel is trying to do something a bit different - mixing modern convenience with some of the interbellum charm that Bucharest once had. The mixture may not be to everyone's taste, but at least its different. While locals recommend the Radisson Blu nearby, I find this place better value and it has an individuality that the larger chains don't possess. The staff are charming - we were upgraded to a luxury room as the hotel was so empty. A great location, it really should be more popular than it is, especially as rooms are reasonably priced at c.110 euros per night. The only minor quibble is that the modern sink is too shallow to be able to wet shave or fill the kettle with any ease, but that is hardly a major problem. Thoroughly recommended.

Room Tip: Check the website for prices. You might get an upgrade if they are quiet - only 7 of the 69 rooms we...

“Outstanding”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 December 2011

This is a traditional and beautiful hotel in the heart of the city. It is first class from the bedding and bathroom amenities to the lobby and location. It is central to major sites and close to the hop-on-hop-off bus tour. Bucharest is a city that is huge in scope and this small, luxurious, and personal hotel is an oasis in this bustling metropolis. Of course, the amenities and other room touches are understated and lovely, The buffet breakfast was plentiful and varied. And the prices reflect the fact this is eastern Europe.

“An oasis of luxury”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

people found this review helpful

This is a really superb boutique hotel in a prime position in this city which is trying hard to restore itself to something of its' former glory. It actually is a masterstroke in interior design given its' situation and during my stay it was the hotel which helped to lift my spirits after being out and about surrounded by graffitti and shabby former communist buildings.
The furnishings and fittings are stylish (OK you probably wouldn't have them at home, but a change is as good as a rest) and comfortable. The staff are friendly and extremely obliging and the bar and bistro (where a good buffet breakfast is served) are great. There is a feeling of being very welcome and very well looked after and I look forward to returning next year.

“Lovely large room nicely decorated”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

A lovely big room (actually very big room) well decorated, clean and well presented. Staff really helpful , there when you need them but not all over you. Our room looked out onto the reconstructed foyer of the original National theatre which is now part/attached to very modern looking Novotel - strange but sorta nice. Only carp would be that breakfast plates are small designed more for show than usage but this is extremely minor. All in all I would highly recommend this hotel .
