“Getting better and better!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

This week I stayed for the 3rd time at Minerva and I can appreciate it`s getting better and better.
I think half of the hotel staff is new, which is a positive thing. Breakfast was always very good.
The rooms are spacious, the bathrooms are OK and very clean.

I will always choose Minerva because of its perfect location in Bucharest's city center, with everything reachable by foot.

“Great location and service!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

I stayed at Minerva Hotel for four nights during an exam, because it is 2 steps away from ASE. Also, the hotel is near the Museum of Romanian Peasant and The Village Museum. The room was clean, breakfast delicious and the bed very comfy for a good night sleep before exam.

Room Tip: You can ask for a room with a window that opens!

“Very poor except the management and staff.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 December 2011

Just had a New Year event here, booked a room and decided to leave after only one hour in the room. Have you ever stayed in a 4 star hotel room with a nice modern window that doesn't open?

No ventilation so had to leave and find something else. One thing I will say is that the hotel was not cold, in fact it was too hot - very unusual for Romania.

The New Year cellebrations were very nice, the band was superb, the service was good but the cooked food was apalling.

Anything that they did not need to cookj was very good e.g. Salads, cold meats etc. Anything that they cooked was a disaster, fish, pork, potatoes, hot other - set menu so no choice but quite usual here - just a pity that the Chef got it wrong.

A very nice entertainment evening for New Year spoiled by poor standards - yet again!

Romania usually does very good on entertainment but only to spoil it by poor support quality.

On checking out, the receptionist protested that she had told me that there was no opening window, but what she actually said was if I want to smoke I must open the window - a little bit different. So, what is room 219? A prison?

Room Tip: Avoid this Hotel, there are many other good hotels at a similar price and even less that provide bet...

Excellent location near subway and christmas market. The hotel is elegant with spacious rooms. The staff were polite and very helpful. The bathroom was also large and well equiped. Breakfast was great.

Room Tip: the superior double room is really great!

“Excellent location, great service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 December 2011

Been there for two days, first day I unpacked and walked around in the area.. the hotel is near 3-4 museums and a big park, the buildings architecture is great. Excellent location.

The room was clean, the bed was comfy, got a good night sleep. Second day I went to a conference that took place in the same hotel. Smaller room then I expected but ok, elegant design.

Took lunch at the Chinese Restaurant in the hotel, food was good but portions were little, maybe becuase of the conference they ddin't have enough supplies.
