Excellent location, very clean, very nice looking, excellent staff, room was very nice and clean, all the amenities is excellent, the Lebanese restaurant was excellent. The only issue I had was the freaking room key, I had to reactivate it no less than three times every day, totally annoying.! I was told each time that I have to keep the key away from my phone, which is absolutely ridiculous, that’s like 20th century technology in the 21st-century first century…. Besides that, I would highly recommend this hotel.

Lobby probably the most amazing i have seen in my long life
I love the lobby
There was an issue at check in. The man at check in was very helpful and corrected the wrong payment promptly

The hotel is walkable from bbu airport and talks 15 to 20 minutes. Not walkable from opt I dont think
I walked 2am and felt safe in the area as flight was late and everyone scrambling for taxis
Room was spacious shower would benefit from a modernisation
Lots of channels on tv in English an unexpected gift

The hotel was excellent overall. The room was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff were friendly, professional, and always ready to help. The breakfast menu was fresh, tasty, and offered good options to start the day. The workspace was quiet and suitable for my needs, making the hotel a very good choice for business travel.

We only stayed one night and the staff was very friendly, english speaking and helpful with transportation. But it is a dated hotel that is over represented in the photos. The room furnishings were very old and the a/c-heater did not work. The dials on it were missing and the none of the controls did anything. The toilet dripped water making the dripping sound all night. The safe did not function.

This is by far the single worst place I have ever stayed at. For starters there was a sewer smell coming from the bathroom vanity, and this was at both rooms, we complained and nothing happened. the hotel was extremely dirty and very old, the carpet is stained all around. I also put some clothes for laundry service, it took 3 days ( which was my entire stay at the hotel) and when I asked for the laundry I was told it was the weekend and they don't do laundry till Monday (which was the day I checked out) One staff memner helped me and assured me that my laundry would be returned to the hotel by 7 am either washed or not. I only got 2 garments out of nearly 15 or 16 garments, so I had to check out and leave without them.
I strongly advice that Expedia should not associate with this hotel anymore as it only diminish Expedia's reputation, and this is just my humble opinion

The reception people seems like they didn’t wanna be there.
Arrived at 10:15 asked about food as the Lebanese restaurant was apparently open till midnight, however, at 10:20. They’ve told me the kitchen it is closed. I ask if there is any restaurant around and they’ve told me only a gas station or I should order with glovo. No room service available either. The rooms are very outdated in the bathroom very dirty specially the shower area.

Full service property close to the airport. I have only two observations worth noting

1. The restaurant - We were there on a thursday night and ordered a few items. We were informed that said items were not available that night. This was soup, a burger, and a pizza. These are perhaps the easiest things a restaurant provides. Not sure why, but it seemed rather odd, especially for such a large property.

2. There is a club inside of the hotel that they seem to treat mysteriously. I forget the exact name but it's something like Club Misti. What it was was a small room, a small bar, a few couches, a pool table, and a stage with a stripper pole. There were also three working women there . I do not know to what exactly there services were, but it is a rather seedy thing that perhaps should not be a part of an otherwise respectable looking hotel. Maybe this is how things are done in Romania, and it's a common thing in nice hotels, but i didnt see anything like this anywhere else while I toured to country.

The building is very nice. The reception is looking great. The service and bell boys are very friendly.

Yet the room and the hallway are not up to par. Hallways carpets are dirty with spots.
In room carpets while nice, have spots from previous patrons unfortunately.
The air conditioner?! A bad joke. Super old and battery blowing any cold air.

Given the location the room costs are kind of on the high end.

Something happened in the post couple of years, as this hotel was nicer.

Will not stay here anymore

Two nights. Business

Two nights on a business trip. Very convenient for airport travel. Be careful of the taxi drivers they really do try to take more than the actual cost. Very heavy traffic in that area so hard to have an open window. Serious traffic jams into and out of the city from early morning to approx. 9 pm. Breakfast was great. Room and bathroom spacious. Could pay a little more attention on cleaning the bathroom. No bathroom mat and the shower sprays onto the floor. Towels a little sad. Service was very good but not too friendly. No hair dryer. In general a good place to
stay

A very handsome hotel

Although a lush hotel, it was about 6 miles away from the main city. I either cabbed it there for like £5 or, did a 2 hour walk exploring what Bucharest was about. The morning breakie buffet as everyone raved about lived up to expectations and the juice bar was amazing. I feel like I've added years on to my life :)
Gym/Spa was ok but, no pool. They only gave you 2 free waters despite having been there for 3 nights and all other hotel chains do this daily. Staff were friendly and helpful. They had some light music in the evening and complimentary wine on a fruit stall. Nightclub (just to be nosey) wanted £10 entrance fee which comes with a drink/shot. 1) I'm a resident and 2) there were about 5 people there. No chance!
Otherwise, room was very nice and hotel was quite elegant.

Excellent facility, far from Metro and city center

This is a wonderful hotel in a tricky location. The nearest Metro station was a bus ride away (you can buy a bus ticket locally only before 14.30). Once on the metro, city center and sights were easy to access. The breakfast was epic, afternoon offering of fruit, nuts, pancakes. Staff was helpful and friendly.

A Comfortable Stay...

This is a really great quality hotel with many attributes and good value. There are multiple restaurants on site, all the facilities you might need, wireless internet, close ish to the airport and the buffet breakfast in particular that was outstanding. The whole place had a comfortable friendly feel. The room could be described as 4-5 star international standard (you know, telephone in the loo etc). I'll definitely use the place again if I'm back in town.
