Every room having a balcony - good.

Limited choice on breakfast buffet for a week - the same food every day.
Reception staff helpful with any questions.
Daily had to keep requesting for towels as when the room was serviced, no towels were left.
Unfortunately in the bar on floor 2, some guests/visitors were given good service when others were not. Some people came into the bar eating and were asked to leave. Others were not asked to leave -this does not seem fair.

Enjoyed a 5 day break in Bucharest in the Grand Hotel. Very good location close to the Old Town. The 100 airport bus stops across from the hotel. The room is adequate, very comfortable twin beds, although the high bath/ shower may be difficult to access if you have mobility issues. large tv in the room. No table or chairs on the balcony. Very good indoor pool and gym. A poor point is the breakfast.... Minute plates, grilled breakfast was mostly cold each morning. Staff were very helpful and resolved a noise issue to my satisfaction. All in all, a very good hotel, but I wouldn't say 5*.

Unfortunately, this is not a 5‑star hotel experience

I’m really disappointed to be spending 7 nights in what I believed would be a 5‑star hotel. We accidentally booked the wrong “Grand Hotel” — it turns out there are two with very similar names — and the difference in quality is shocking.

Main issues:

• Extremely hard beds, making it difficult to sleep comfortably
• A strong sewage smell in our room, completely unacceptable for any hotel, let alone one claiming 5 stars
• Very poor breakfast variety, far below the expected standard
• The hotel is old, dirty, and clearly in need of major refurbishment.
• Non‑functioning air conditioning, resulting in extremely poor air quality in the room
• We had to sleep with the door open just to breathe, which meant listening to all the traffic noise outside throughout the night

Overall: This hotel does not meet 5‑star standards in comfort, cleanliness, maintenance, or service. A very disappointing experience.

I’ve stayed at this hotel several times in the past, but this visit was an absolute disappointment. It’s clear that the property has aged significantly and that maintenance is no longer a priority.

From the moment I arrived, the issues started. The shower was broken, the magnifying makeup mirror light didn’t work because the bulb was burnt out, and the bathroom trash bin was damaged and dirty. The pedal you step on to lift the lid was broken, leaving only a sharp metal piece exposed — something you could easily injure yourself on.

Housekeeping was another major problem. From day one, the shower gel dispenser had barely a finger of product left, and for two days no one refilled it. When I finally asked the housekeeper about it, she told me she had no product because the bottles had recently been changed, and that I should go to the front desk myself to request a refill. This is completely unacceptable for a supposed 5-star hotel.

Throughout my entire 7-night stay, the room was never vacuumed even once. I had dropped some cookie crumbs the first day, and I watched them remain on the floor for a full week — being stepped on every day.

Another inconvenience: the front desk never had change when I needed to break larger bills. Again, something that should not be an issue in a hotel claiming 5-star standards.And when it was time to leave, there was no bellboy available to help with luggage — not to bring the bags from the room, not even to assist with loading them into a taxi

The room was clean with a comfortable bed. I had a balcony along with a nice view. The hotel lobby was nice and staff were helpful. What i didnt like was the tub in the bathroom as it was deep and high which made it difficult to shower. I slipped when climbing out. Also the checkout process was terrible and I had to pull out my credit card again to complete payment, sign a document and then was able to leave. Why isnt this done up front when you are obviously in a rush at checkout if you are headed to the airport. At 4am, i was not in the mood to go thru all of this and I just wanted to drop the key off and leave. Please improve the checkout process.

This is not a 5-star hotel any more, it changed ownership five years ago and has gone downhill. It used to be named the Intercontinental Hotel but now the Grand Intercontinental Hotel Bucaresti is a different hotel, a few blocks away (across the street from the Novotel). Be aware of this. We loved the Grand Intercontinental Hotel Bucaresti, but this Grand Hotel is not the same standard. No hot water for the shower. TV did not function, no channels connected, concierge could not find the problem. Musty oldish smell in the hallways after leaving the gorgeous lobby, felt like false advertising. Small balcony overlooking the Parliament and Old Town was advertised, but was locked, inaccessible to use once we got to the room. Dark lighting, we were actually depressed, why not have a bright atmosphere in the room? Toilet-paper holder was broken so the roll slid off onto the floor each time when using the toilet. Breakfast was okay but not 5-star, it was in a big open conference room, not a nice dining area. This is a 4-star or 3-star hotel now.

Comfortable bed and nice bedding, open balcony.
The hotel is in a great location and very central, close to the old town and close to the metro.
The room is mostly comfortable but the bathtub is very high and difficult to get into.
Even though we are a couple, for 3 nights they left us only one towel and on the fourth night they left no towels at all, every night I called the lobby to get more towels and it was very annoying.
The heating didn't work even though it was 6 degrees outside because the hotel switched to summer mode - the room was freezing.

Great hotel, will stay again

Lovely hotel. And very friendly attentive staff. Comfy and clean, and absolutely nothing to improve on my side. My only “complaint” was that I arrived very late, was jet lagged and hungry, checked into my room, and read the folder provided that said room service as available 24/7, so had a shower, washed my hair first before ordering. Picked up the phone to order around 23:20 to be told it’s no longer available and I would need to use an app such as bolt food to order. This was a little frustrating to me as otherwise I would have ordered earlier. So they should update their folders in the rooms. But other than that? It was a lovely stay!

Everything looks amazing at first glance, when you start taking a closer look, you notice the issues. For instance, the bathroom door in my room was chipped and peeling at the bottom, there was a wall outlet that had its cover hanging by a screw, and the weather stripping on the balcony door was damaged so that you can hear the wind whistle and the air seeps in.

The restaurant was fantastic though, which is why I have it at 3 stars. The manager there took the time to chat with me while waiting for my meal. Whereas the receptionists weren’t very helpful. When I checked out a day early and asked for a refund for the unused day, they didn’t even ask why I wasn’t happy with the accommodations.
