Moxy Bucharest Old Town [Master Thread]
 

Overall During my hotel hopping in Bucharest I gave this hotel a try. It is well located and is available at a really good price point. It is just as centrally located as the Marmorosch.Of course, you have to like the Moxy brand.

Do you know if the difference between the Moxy Standard room and the Moxy Superior room is only that the Superior has Street view?
The pictures of the rooms seem to be the same.

Anyone stayed here recently?

cbellero Were there irons and ironing boards available upon request?

One of the worst hotel stays I've had in a while. I'll start with the good and work my way to the bad:

Pros:
- Elite recognition was good in that they upgraded me to the largest room they have (a half semi-circular room?)

Cons:
- WiFi didn't work on my floor at all. Worked fine in the lobby and first floor. FDA called their manager who said it's a known issue and they've been trying to get it fixed. Offered nothing in exchange. So I was forced to work in the lobby until 1am instead of my room. I heard several folks being checked in offered free breakfast for their troubles. As a Titanium I'm offered nothing? Weird.
- No water in the water jugs in the lobby multiple times. I checked at check-in (mid afternoon), in the late evening when I was forced to work there due to above-mentioned WiFi issues, and again in the morning. In the morning it was the rotting fruit from the day before.
- They provide lockers by the elevators to store your bags. Great concept except half of them didn't work at all (likely needed batteries)
- FDA in the morning was not friendly and not too helpful. She reluctantly stored my bags after I told her the lockers don't work. I retrieved my bags many hours later and nothing was missing so they were at least safe!

I wouldn't stay here again. The location is great for walking around Bucharest but compared to the treatment I had at the Sheraton I would definitely pass this place up next time. If you are set on staying in the old town area then don't look to the Moxy or the Sheraton (it's quite a walk).
