“What stands out is the level of personalized care, especially within the Club Lounge. The location offers immediate access to Bucharest's cultural heart, and the historic building exudes Belle Époque charm. I think it's a property where history and attentive service converge, though reports of inconsistent service should be considered.”

central locationbeautiful roomexcellent servicebreakfast variety
I totally loved the location. It was super central for seeing everything. the beautiful room was amazing. It felt really big. the staff provided excellent service, always ready to assist. breakfast was fantastic, and i definitely enjoyed a wide variety of options.
during my stay, the lobby experienced loud music late into the night, bothersome (earplugs didn't quite cut it).

caring stafffront desklocal food culturelong walk
the staff was very caring. alexandra at the front desk ensured all our needs were met. catalan at the club lounge provided food and drinks even after 8:00pm, the regular closing time. he also explained the local food culture, history, and places to visit.
the hotel is centrally located, close to major attractions and cultural sites. it requires a bit of walking to reach the old town, for those interested.

The staff were knowledgeable. The breakfast buffet provided many options.
My room was sub-sol. It was half in the basement. I was told in the morning i could have called housekeeping to open the windows. I did not like that i was getting a room in the basement.
