Yes, the staff were friendly and helpful, the location was fine, WiFi worked well and the breakfast was basic but adequate. Unfortunately, we had a similar experience to one of the previous reviewers. We arrived on the evening of a scorching hot day, after a 22 hour train ride from Istanbul, in which we had shared a couchette compartment with a Romanian woman who had absolutely refused to open the window even an inch. (We were able to move elsewhere during the day, but could not sleep the whole night.) Having another sleepless night suffocating in this terrible two-person dorm was the last straw. A Canadian couple we met on the train followed us to the hostel and were given an airy six-bed dorm all to themselves, but we had booked a private room. (The hostel was booked out the next two nights, so we couldn't do the same.) We asked for a fan but the receptionist was unable to locate one.
We were prepared to move out the next morning, but a fan was found by that time and there was a change in the weather anyway. We decided to try another night and move for the third night if necessary. The fan helped, the cool weather helped and the room became acceptable - just!
I don't like to be negative about a place where the staff, who speak good English, do try to look after their guests, but the fact that there have been complaints about this problem before should mean they ensure a fan is provided for this room.
By the way, we loved Bucharest.
