Location the best and great hotel
Pros:

I couldn’t have chosen a great location. It’s ideal to transport , metro, the old town, shops and all within walking distance. The airport bus 100 is so close by too, so it’s instead of taxis the bus is cheap and so convenient. A way of seeing the city too. You just tap your bank card ‘ pay as you go ‘ and you set. It’s about 8 Ron (€2).
The hotel itself is kinda luxurious for Bucharest standards and has all the facilities and amenities required. There is also a fridge in the room , safe, robes, tea / instant coffee facilities, complimentary bottled water , tv and aircon . There is a great gym and newish equipment which is on the 21 floor and great views.

We loved the hotel but it needs a renovation and they should stop letting people smole in rooms.
Pros:

The hotel was amazing, the barman was amazing (the best pina colada you can imagine), the breakfast was the best in Romania, and we were upgraded to a premium room with an amazing view of the parliament... Only one problem. The hotel needs an urgent renovation..... It is an aged hotel, and it feels like that. Another problem is that they should stop letting people smoke in rooms; the smell spreads out in the corridors, and it is terrible. However, the room was amazing, and the cigarettes stayed out. If you get a good deal, take it. It is not a 5 star hotel for the reasons I mentioned.

Cons:

An aged hote, the cogarettes smell spreads in the corridors.... Needs renovation.
