Beautiful room with Roaches!!!

The room wasn't big but it was very nice and smelled good. However at night i saw roaches which made me cringe. I had to keep my luggage shut to not take any of these critters home with me. They should invest in getting these roaches out.!!!

The hotel is a single floor in a shabby apartment block - they've obviously tried hard to make it nice with some decorative niknaks in the corridor but the rooms are small, curtains aren't big enough for the windows, the bathroom floor was caving in, hpusekeeling/cleaning in the 4 days I was there (I booked 3 rooms for 4 days - they all had the same issues). You definitely get what you pay for, but as a base a for a long weekend for 3 guys on the p*ss it was fine. Definitely do not take your partner for a romantic stay. The rooms are seriously not large enough for 2 people. There is no dining or food of any kind, nor is there a kettle or iron/board available. Plenty of good local coffee shops around for breakfast though. Metro is close and the old town area is about a 10 minute walk away.

Don’t think I will return.

Second time I was here. First time was ok, acceptable, nothing to write about. Except this time there were a few problems. 1) There were baby roaches. I saw three in my room. 2) They didn’t clean the toilet so that it had dried urine on the lip of the bowl when you pick up the toilet seat, despite having a “disinfected” paper tape. 3) There was no toilet paper. I told the receptionist and he couldn’t find it at the time so I asked to have it placed in my room. When I got back to my room over 10 hours later at night there was no toilet paper. I had to get it from them next morning.

Unless you're on a tight budget, I don't recommend

The property is located a few doors down from the Vodafone shop and reception is on the second floor. If you don't know that, it is hard to find the property and you do behin to think you're in the wrong place. The man on reception was miserable and unfriendly. When we arrived and asked to check in (approx 10pm, we did inform the hotel of this weeks in advance) he snarled at us and said he was supposed to have left at 7pm and started complaining in Romanian so we didn't understant what he was saying. Luckiky another gentleman showed up and checked us in, and thankfully he was lovely. We had apartment/room one, which the room was ok. It was decorated nicely, but cleanliness wasn't very good. We had empty drink bottles left in the window behind the curtains, chewing gum stuck to the headboard, a broken toilet seat, mess under the wardrobe and we also seen cockroaches on our first night that had crawled in under the door, and then back out! (Advice, leave all items and bags/suitcases off the floor where possible!) We did stay for our entire time, but spent as little time as possible in our room. Overall, for the price we paid, it wasn't as terrible as some places we have stayed in. The location was good for walking to all of the main attractions in Bucharest, however it was extremely noisy at night as it was also next tp a main road. Overall, unless you're on a tight budget, I would not recommend.

Sauber, aber wenig Komfort

Von innen sieht das Zimmer aus wie auf den Bildern und ist sehr sauber. Was mich schockiert hat war die Fassade. Eine riesen Werbewall vor den Fenstern. Ich hab Anfangs auch den Eingang nicht gefunden, da ich dachte, das Haus steht leer. Die Apartments sind alle in einem Stock, man muss nicht an der "Rezeotion" vorbei. Wenn man also in dem Wohnblock ist, kann jeder zu den Apartments. Natürlich hat man selbst einen Schlüssel für sein Zimmer, dennoch hat es mir etwas unbehagen bereitet. Zurück zum Zimmer, das Bett war sehr hart und laut, die Ausstattung aber sehr schön und vorallem Duschgel, Zahnbürste und vieles mehr war vorhanden. Laut war es generell, einerseits dünne Wände zu den Nachbarn, andererseits die 8-spurige Straße vor der Haustür. Top für mich war definitiv die Lage. Um die Ecke ist ein belebtes Viertel mit Kaffees und Restaurants, Königspalast, Roman Atheneul etc. Die Altstadt erreicht man in gut 15 Minuten zu Fuß. PS: Ich würde gern Fotos hinzufügen, aber leider funktioniert es nicht.

Katastrophaler Service

Katastrophaler Service. 0 Hilfsbereit und total unfreundlicher Service vor Ort. Hatten wegen Terminverschiebungen mehr als eine Buchung machen müssen (Do-Fr + Fr-So). Angeblich war die Buchung Donnerstag auf Freitag nicht im System, wir hätten Pech gehabt meinte er, es wäre nichts mehr frei. Nach Kontaktaufnahme bei Hotels.com konnten sie dies aber mit der Unterkunft klären und auf einmal war doch ein Zimmer frei, wofür wir aber nochmal zahlen sollten, was ich natürlich nicht gemacht habe, da ich bereits über Hotels.com gezahlt habe, er wollte uns abzocken! Freitags morgens mussten wir dann aus dem Zimmer raus, da wir ein anderes bekommen sollten. Als wir dann wieder kamen, haben wir doch das selbe wieder bekommen, natürlich nichts gemacht (keine neuen Handtücher, Toilettenpapier, Bettwäsche o.ä.). War sinnlos, wollte uns damit nur schikanieren. Generell war die Kommunikation von dem Mitarbeiter eine Frechheit. Nicht einmal "bitte" oder "danke" gesagt, immer im Befehlston mit uns geredet und kaum war man in seinem Büro, wurde man angepöbelt, dass man die Tür zumachen soll, aber in einem absoluten frechen Umgangston. Die Unterkunft liegt zwar zentral, aber aufgrund der Erfahrungen und des Services würde ich hier nie wieder übernachten wollen. des Weiteren riecht es in vielen Zimmern echt eigenartig und auch ein paar Insekten mussten wir selbst im Zimmer entfernen.

Kalt und laut im Zimmer

Es ist schöner präsentiert als eigentlich ist. Der Eingang im EG ist ziemlich "creepy", das Zimmer quasi mit WC direct im Zimmer ist auch gewöhnungsbedürftig. Im Zimmer, obwohl draussen knappe 10 Grad, ist trotzdem zu kalt. SEHR laut, obwohl das Fenster geschloßen und die Vorhänge komplett zu sind. Die Position ist äußerst Zentral, gut gelegen.

Well worth it

Very well priced and in an excellent position and walking distance to the old city. The steps leading up to the rooms and apartments are not attractive yet once you arrive at the floor of the apartments it is a different story. The rooms are very clean, tidy and attractive. Some "old school" features such as a toothbrush and shaving kit give it an extra touch. Recommended.

Το προσωπικό πολύ ευγενικό και εξυπηρετικό. Η τοποθεσία καλή. Κακης ποιότητας κρεβάτι. Το δωμάτιο ηταν όμορφο αλλα κακής ποιότητας. Όλο το πάτωμα ετριζε. Το κρεβάτι στηρίζονταν σε 4 κάθετους δοκούς λεπτούς που στράβωσαν μετα την πρώτη νύχτα ύπνου. Ολο το δωμάτιο ήταν κακης κατασκευής και ολα τα πραγματα κουνιοντουσαν απο τη θεση τους. Ανοίγοντας την πορτα της ντουλάπας νοιώθεις ότι θα πεσει στο κεφαλι σου. Μεταξυ μπανιου και δωματίου εχρι μια απλη συρομενη πόρτα που δεν προσφερει ουτε ηχομόνωση ουτε ομως και ιδιωτικότητα. Υπαρχουν κι αλλα πολλα μικρά πράγματα που μπορώ να αναφέρω αλλα θα φτάσω κατ' ευθείαν στο συμπέρασμα. Δεν αξιζει τα 40€ ανα νυχτα σε καμια περίπτωση. Προτιμήστε κατι ελαχιστα πιο ακριβό που να αξιζει τον κοπο.

Problem with booking

I had booked three nights for the incredible price of ca € 21 - promotion perhaps? The hotel did not want to honour that booking and said "they could not find" my booking. Even lying that they were not connected to Hotel.com where I had made the booking. So I had to book another hotel. The problem is that they do not want to reimburse me that money, why I do not know.
