We really enjoyed our room however was disappointed there was only 1 plug socket. There was an incident at the hotel at 5am on our first night where a male was aggressively shouting outside our room. We believe the police was called. This incident lasted about an hour. We appreciate that it is not the hotels fault however an apology the following morning would have been appreciated as it did leave me feeling unsafe in the hotel. We also didn’t get the opportunity to mention this as the reception was mostly unattended and upon check out, we wasn’t asked the standard ‘how was your stay?’

All is great but count on big noise trough the night. There is no quite hours. Music from the neighboring bars and discos is booming absolutely every night. Otherwise perfect location and everything else.

The hotel itself is decent but the room is so uncomfortable that appears to be an attic thats been converted to a room. im 5'2\" and constantly hit my head on the ceiling. The location is absolutely noisy.

Excellent location. Right in the middle of tourist central. Equidistant to 2 metro stations and close to bus stops. But.... no lift on my wing where i stayed. Lots of noise at 3am from some club. I had to ask to get a kettle and tea equipment for my room. Lack of hanging clothes pegs. Shelves are obstructed by the bed. Fridge does not keep items cool. Bathroom is cramped. Seems to be more a b&b and definitely not a 3 star hotel. Staff have no knowledge of the area and do not even give pocket maps. Good for partying, i would personally stay a few streets away to get away from the crowds and restaurant hustlers.

The staff are friendly and helpful. After a 14 hour flight I was able to check in right away without any issue. The area is pretty cool with lots of options to choose from food and entertainment wise. At night things get pretty loud as the city roars to life. If noise is a concern this hotel is not for you as it can be loud. I thoroughly enjoyed the stay, the room was small and cozy, perfect for my trip. I would for surely recommend this hotel, and if ever back in Romania I will stay again. Thank you for the hospitality, Yarob was also very nice and helpful.

Hotel Forty One is a seemingly newly renovated space right in the middle of the nightlife area of Bucharest.

Despite its proximity to numerous bars and clubs, the windows sealed out almost all of the noise.

The room was very comfortable. And the location could not have been better.

I would definitely stay here again!

This property is in the heart of old town! Comes to life middle of the day and late at night! The streets are loud but the hotel room was well insulated and no disturbance while sleeping. All the staff were all friendly and accommodating with requests. We did have the breakfast provided by the restaurant downstairs. Loved the easy acces to metro lines and bus stations

Greta hotel in terms of Central location in Bucharest Old Town - HOWEVER - this is not a family friendly location. You are in the heart of a night club/strip club area. The music is loud (LOUD) from midnight to 5am most nights, do not expect to get any sleep. They issue ear plugs at the reception. Aside from this, the hotel itself was lovely and clean, the staff were super friendly. Breakfast was a buffet and they even put a breakfast box together for us for the day we went and did a day trip to Dracula's Castle. We stayed in the back of the hotel and had a room with all the frills, a coffee machine, kettle, slippers etc - nice toiletries as well. It was a great stay once we knew what to expect with the level of bass, and music though the night.

If you want to actually sleep don’t stay there. This facility should not be allowed to operate in that area where music is blasting until 5am. You are literally provided with earplugs

Brilliant hotel! Nestled right in the centre of Old Town. Such a lovely location if looking to be right in the hustle and bustle and soak up the amazing atmosphere. Clean, comfortable and tidy room and staff were polite and couldn't do any more for us. Breakfast was basic but delicious and the restaurant was incredible, good food, good drinks and brilliant service. Would love to come back!

Too noisy to sleep

Too noisy to sleep! The hotel is in the middle of the night life, it has a night club in front of it, one below and a couple of strip clubs on the the side. They run music until 5am and it’s too loud to sleep. The hotel provides ear plugs but they are almost useless. We recommend to stay away from it if you are looking for a nice sleep. Instead, if you plan to have a nice nightlife it’s perfect!

Location is very central, hotel is nice and very clean! 5 stars to the room and cleanliness. Unfortunately we had to book (and pay) another hotel for the second night because we did want to sleep.

Clean but loud

The receptionist was very friendly. We got to the room and it was very clean. Nice size room and bathroom. Bathroom looked very modern. Great that it had shampoo, body wash, hand soap and hand cream. That was nice. The only thing is that the shower leakes soo bad. Slippers are provided but it’s a bit annoying. Also the noise from the club right opposite is so bad. No point getting a hotel if you can’t sleep until super late. We didn’t sleep the whole night. We booked over a month in advance. We asked if we can have a room at the back and they said they’re all taken. But we booked ages ago it would’ve been appreciated if they gave us a room that’s a bit quieter. My mum bless her was really struggling so was I. We don’t go clubbing so it was very bad.

Good, clean property with helpful, friendly staff. Good location although being next to bars and nightclubs, it does cause sleep problems even though hotel did try to help with ear plugs being supplied. I would consider staying with them again though!

At the heart of the old down its a grea place to base yourself within walking distance of everything, unfortunately because of this its also above all the night clubs that play loud music until 5am in the morning. I stayed in a top floor room with a slopped ceiling (only bumped my head once in the night dueing my stay) but it was a nice clean and charming little room!

A clean and modern room with comfy bed, however, our room safe was tucked under a shelf without instructions and not attached so if we could have used it someone could just walk off with the safe!
Access is via a pedestrian street so you will get dropped at a road about 3-5 minute walk. Could be an issue with large cases. Reception is under the stairs and relatively easy,although we could have checked in online.
They provide ear plugs as there is an adjacent disco which was noisy.
We had no house keeping calls during our stay and as the shower screen wasn't sealed this left pools of water. We had to ask for some new towels every night.
This was made even more awkward by the receptionist making no effort to finish a personal call, I was only helped when more staff arrived.
It was a shame as this is centrally placed in the old town with an abundance of excellent bars and restaurants.

Worst rest ever…

The hotel was very clean and nice and modern but unfortunately it is located next to a night club. The music was blasting literally the whole night (until 5 or 6am when we were getting up for a flight). It was also very loud in the hallway during the night. It is an excellent spot if you want to party but if you want to get a good night sleep this is definitely not the place!!

Sulla struttura e la sua posizione nulla da dire, anzi trattasi di una struttura molto centrale posizionata ad old town nel pieno della movida. Il mio giudizio negativo è relativo ad un episodio capitato nelle prime ore del mattino, intorno alle 5:30, quando due persone ignote sono venute a bussare con irruenza alla mia porta provocando molto clamore nei confronti miei e della mia ragazza nonché di tutto il piano dato lo spavento. Aprendo la porta, tali individui non volevano farmela richiudere e si sono calmati solo nel momento in cui sono usciti anche i componenti delle altre stanze. Tale livello di disattenzione da parte della struttura non è ammissibile in quanto deve essere garantita la piena sicurezza degli ospiti.
