Tutto sommato è andata bene. Nel supermercato MEGA abbiamo comprato giornalmente sia la frutta che i
Pros:

La colazione è il punto debole per me, dal momento che io amo iniziare la colazione con la frutta che, generalmente, in un quattro stelle è servita su vassoi già sbucciata e affettata (ananas, melone, arancia, kiwi, pompelmo), mentre allo Lido by Phoenicia ci sono mele e pompelmi impossibili da pulire col coltello a disposizione.! Ringrazio il cameriere di sala che, dietro mia richiesta, due volte me li ha
sbucciati in cucina.

Cons:

Come dicevo l'assenza di frutta sbucciata e affettata, e la mancanza di pane fresco, anche intégrale, da affettare noi stessi.
E un buon tostapane (quello che c'era, tipo casalingo e un po' vecchiotto, non funzionava alla perfezione.)

A massive disappointment: overpriced, poor hygiene, and crumbling facilities disguised as fake luxury.
Pros:

The location is excellent, right in the heart of Bucharest, providing easy access to the city's main attractions. Also, the room was quite spacious.

Cons:

The price of €161 is completely unjustified. The furniture is cheap, worn out, and tacky. The window sills were broken and sharp—a safety hazard. Most disgusting of all, I was given a "clean" bathrobe that had a large brown stain on the lower back/buttocks area. The view from the room was over a derelict, filthy inner courtyard (the hotel's old pool) filled with trash and dried weeds. Despite reporting this to reception, I only received generic apologies. Extremely poor hygiene standards for a hotel claiming to be "luxurious."

Cons:

Avrei preferito la colazione più fornita di dolci e magari fatti in casa e la presenza di personale che parlasse italiano.
