How are the rooms
Room is very spacious. Fittings are showing some minor wear. Nespresso machine and kettle, usual amenities. Bathroom soaps etc are still miniatures which i personally prefer.
What was good and what was bad?
- Check-in was ok, no wait, but equally no explanation of where breakfast was, or where the exec lounge was located.
- The pool and and multiple outdoor bars are excellent. Restaurants are very pricey for Bucharest.
- The exec lounge evening hot food offering wasn’t great, one dry meat, one dry fish, and a green veg, no starch. The alcohol flows from 17:00 to 22:00, food from 18:00 to 20:00. Breakfast offering very good including small number of al la carte choices.
- The staff are uniformly excellent, which is noteworthy in itself in my experience of Bucharest hotels
Value for money or Gold Points? Would you return?
Definitely will return, felt it was good value. I am visiting Bucharest regularly and have been doing a hotel safari but this will now be my regular place to stay.
