Bug bite and extremely strong air freshener

There was a strong nauseated room air freshener, it appeared trying to suppress room odor.
The blanket and its cover also projected stronger freshener
My wife body was bitten by something, maybe bugs and caused itchiness and red mark, when we checked the mattress there was no bed bugs but it can be under mattress which we did not bother to check
Location was the only strong point of this hotel

Perfect location

Very good location, right in the heart of sector 1. It’s a block behind “Calea Victorei” which is like the Main Street with all the people and restaurants etc. would recommend this place this to others. Just be aware it’s a little dated and the bed kinda hard. It’s not the Marriott in LA, but you can’t beat the location.

My first time to give a 2 stars.
To be fair, it WAS great. I emailed to request some other services before I arrived. The staff was helpful and replied promptly. On arrival, the receptionist was attentive and briefed me on everything. The staff was polite and greeted you when you came back and left, probably they were trying to improve after some previous bad reviews. The location was perfect. The price was reasonable. But you only need to do one thing wrong to turn the 5 stars into 2 stars.
The next morning after my first night, there was another receptionist. I told him that 'no need to clean my room' and my room number. I repeated it and he repeated the same. I confirmed and left. When I was back in my room that night, the cleaner did enter my room and cleaned it. I gave this same message to many hotels before and all worked well, except this one.
I hated people touching my sleeping clothes.
The most critical issue, all my personal towels were hanged on the rack close to the toilet bowl. I'm sure when the cleaner cleaned it, she/he should have accidentally touch my towels. Even cautious enough, when people flushed the toilet without covering the lid, my towels would be contaminated. I covered the lid every time after I used it, when I was back, it was uncovered. If I know there's cleaner coming, I usually put my towels away from the toilet.
Btw, the hairdryer worked for around 10 sec and stopped. You've to wait for several minutes for it to work for 10 sec again.

This hotel was the last stop on my multi-country European trip. Initially, I was happy with the room, but over time, things got worse and worse. First, I realized there was only one plug in the room, and it was in an awkward spot. Then the sink broke, and instead of fixing it, they just left it as it was. By the third night, I realized there was no heat in my room — the heat only comes on from a central system for one hour. I woke up shivering and eventually got sick. On top of that, I noticed the cleaning staff opened my window and left it open, making the room even colder.

I reported these issues, but none of the staff could offer a solution until the very last day, when they finally brought a small heater to my room.

The cleaning staff was also quite aggressive and very loud, even when guests were trying to sleep in the late morning or afternoon.

Overall, the room itself was okay, and the front desk staff was friendly, but they were unable to properly address the problems I encountered. The cleaning staff’s behavior was particularly rude.

The hotel’s location and price were great, but unfortunately, everything else was disappointing.

The property met all my requirements. A word of warning there are two properties so make sure you go to the correct address. I didn't and went to the wrong hotel. Outside the hotel is very vibrant with nice eating and drinking places. Shops, supermarket and pharmacy in the same street. Close to the city center. Absolutely no complaints.

Arrived 1am to find the bed nor the towels for 3rd person were not ready.
Sink leaked. Soaked bath mat not replaced.
The very young staff spoke no English at all. Photos looked better than the real thing ie the entrance, foyer, room. Dated decor and shabby.
Bathroom radiator didn't work so nothing could dry. It rained and all our clothes and shoes were wet.
A disappointing stay.

The hotel is located about 5min walk from the nearest metro. Many restaurants and bars around the hotel. The hotel had character. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was not included and cost approx $6 which was not too bad. Complimentary coffee and tea. Airconditioning, fridge and TV were provided

Housekeeping and cleanliness can use some improvements - e.g. replacing broken coax cable for the TV, removing stuffs from the shower stall left behind by the previous hotel guest before the next guest's arrival.

The hotel is very well located close to Piata Romana and Calea Victoriei. Although it's in the middle of the hustle and bustle, the hotel is quiet and safe. This was despite some very noisy guests who kept slamming doors at all times. It's very well connected to public transport and just 8 miles from Henri Coanda airport. I'm giving it 4 stars because the economy room is pretty dark with only a small window opening to a well, and it would benefit of little maintenance. I've got no complaints about the breakfast, the communal areas and the staff, who are very friendly, accommodating, and speak fluent English.

Located centrally in Bucharest within walking distance to the Atheneum for concerts or the Enescu Festival, and close by to many places of interest renders the resident almost independent of sometimes hard to find taxi cabs. The rooms are comfortable, the breakfast is good the personnel pleasant and knowledgeable

Boutique Hotel Amzei is a great place to stay in the center of Bucharest. This is the second time that I have stayed there and will stay there on my next trip. The staff is helpful and available whenever needed. It is within a short walk of many of the important sights, a number of restaurants and stores.

This is a very nice, cosy and friendly hotel. Our family (3 people) had a very nice experience staying at this hotel. On and off (we took a couple of trips outside Romania) we spent approx. two weeks at this hotel. We'll stay again at this hotel next time we are in Bucharest.

great location with essential parking. but -

great location with essential parking place.
the stuff were very helpful but, no one thought that some times the guests would be - not so young. and they would need help to carry the luggage. in this boutique hotel there is no ramp and all the female stuff looked when my husband ( who is not so young) carried the suitcases to the top of the stairs. the only male stuff was in breakfast room, watching and taking the plates away the second we finished to eat.
when you pay for your stay you're expecting help.
this was the only hotel, during our stay in Romania , that the stuff looked at us and didn't even ask if we need help.
it may sound petty , but when you pay over 100 euro for night , you expect perfect service.

A wonderful but shabby hotel

The room was small for the price - equivalent hotels nearby offer larger rooms and it fairly tired - for example, the sink in my bathroom had a large crack. Breakfast is simple but was not comparable with other hotels nearby. The location is excellent and with a modernization program this hotel will surely become better value.
