Good accommodation. Everything was clean and functioning. The room was relatively spacious with a small table and chairs, desk with flat screen TV on top..... Slept well in the good sized, comfortable bed......Bathroom was a good too, with a good shower over the bath and a large vanity area around the basin. Breakfast was good too. Reception was always rather busy though... maybe they need more staff at 'peak times'...?

I am giving two stars, because the Internet worked consistently during my four day stay and the hotel was walking distance to the conference location, but there were too many things that didn't work. Of course some of these were resolved, but that's not the point. For a 5-star hotel, I expect things to work flawlessly.
1. I stayed on a non-smoking floor, but still the whole corridor smelled of smoke. Many of the rooms one had to walk through to get to breakfast smelt heavily of smoke and the area before entering the breakfast room was literally blue of smoke. Very off-putting.
2. The breakfast was generous, but the coffee was awful and the healthy dark brown bread ran out within an hour on nearly all days, leaving only white and sweet breads. The juices didn't seem to be fresh either.
3. The heating in the hotel is oppressive and windows cannot be opened. After three days of putting the thermostat to below 10 and the fan at maximum, I was able to get a reasonable temperature, but nearly all of my fellow conference participants complained bitterly about not being able to sleep at night because of the oppressive heat.
4. Water pressure was very low even at the sixth floor and the shower was a dribble most of the time. Toiletries were not systematically refilled.
5. The hotel proudly offered free printing, but when asked at reception I was bluntly told: printer is not working. When I looked a little annoyed, the girl added: and we don't know whether it will be repaired, because it is the weekend. No further apology or offer to help. I had to push to get her to inform me that I could print at the business centre.
6. The business centre is an unattended room in a hidden corner and could only be found by systematically going through all rooms on the first floor. It looked very shabby and although the print rate was reasonable at 1 lei/page, the usage rate of 1 lei/minute was not as it took the computer nearly two (paid) minutes to even start up. I then found out it wouldn't read memory sticks, so I had to pay 5 lei for nothing.

I only paid 100 euro a night, but I think the rack rate of this hotel is over 300 euro, which is an outrage for what they are offering. Next time I visit Bucharest, I will definitely choose another hotel.

This Hotel is situated in the real center of the city, surrounded by clubs, restaurants, bars and casino's.
Rooms are tidy and spacious, furniture is Ok, space is enough but maybe little small for 2 persons.
Toilet clean and amenities up to standard.
what makes this Hotel special is the position, all the rest is average for 4 stars European Hotel.
if happens i go back to Romania i will probably go there again.

The Bucharest Howard Johnson is a very nice hotel. Rooms are well equipped and very clean. Breakfast is very generous and everyone can find enough food to eat. All hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. They all smile and they are really there to help you. Free wireless internet is very convenient. The bar in the lobby is very good.
The downside of the hotel is in its location. The immediate surroundings of the hotel are somewhat not friendly at the late hours of night and it's frightening to walk alone in the dark streets around the hotel. Nevertheless, some of the main sites of the city are only 10 minutes away.
Overall - I recommend it, I would stay there again, for business or family trip.
