Booked the day before arrival and have still not had any communication from the hotel. I could not enter, there were no staff present and the contact numbers were abroad. None of the phone numbers were in service. Complete con and hopefully Expedia get my money back. Don't bother with this place find another hotel, this one isn't a real hotel, it's a con 👍

Great location, easy to get around. Room was large and comfortable and good value for money. Found a few hairs on the pillows and the code was changed so couldn’t get into the room. Managed to work it out but not tech savvy people would struggle. Late one night we heard someone having the same issue. Overall good place to stay

Hotel is good. The area looked a bit gloomy at night but I never saw anything or anyone to make me feel unsafe. I used a small cafe300m up the street for breakfast & there are some excellent restaurants within 1km. Staff spoke good English & were very helpfull. Airport bus, tourist information & metro close by.

No air conditioning, no change for cash payments

Hotel itself would have been comfortable - but - they had turned the air conditioning off, claiming it as ‘broken’ to all the members of our small tour group.

Later as we checked out the desk clerk said it had been turned off for the ‘winter’. Our stay was in Sept with temps in the mid to high ‘80s. Even with a fan, it was still uncomfortably hot.

Breakfast, while good, was quite expensive by Bucharest standards. (40 Ron per person)

Front desk *never* had change for cash payments, instructing guests to go down the street to a grocery store to get change.l in order to pay small charges.

We stayed in much more accommodating lodgings during our 2 weeks in Romania. Not recommended.

AC was not working when we arrived but the receptionist (Santosh) made sure that we were provided with a fan. On our return where we had 3 nights, as the AC was not working still, Santosh arranged for us to be upgraded to a room with a balcony that allowed more air through. Some noise from traffic and the adjacent tram route, which starts early! All the staff were really friendly and helpful, especially Santosh. The cleaning staff kept everything very clean. A good breakfast. A short walk from the old town but good value compared to more expensive hotels in the old town.

I liked: the variety at breakfast. This seems to be expected in Romania, I have encountered it elsewhere too, but this is a small hotel. There were vegetables to go with the egg -- GREAT! there were olives, tapenade, .... on the side. There were the sliced tomatos and cucumbers, plenty of them. And fruit.

The terrace room! There is only one of it. The balconies. Bathroom was not cramped -- quite spacious.

We were treated VERY well at this hotel. Everything was clean - breakfast was tasty - staff was helpful. We enjoyed our stay.

One word of caution, and it is no fault of the hotel's - some taxi drivers are a bit sketchy. There are two Hotel Dukes in town. They will always take you to the other one "by mistake" - even when you tell them the address of the Hotel Duke you are staying at. Best to use Bolt or Uber.

Change Hotel

We had to change hotel as the room has no air and was very suffocating, very bad for breathing. We would have fallen sick.

We thus left the hotel and moved to another one.

Good Location for Exploring Bucharest

Tempo was in a good location. It was an easy walk to various attractions and to different parts of Bucharest. The room had adequate storage space. However, we found that the space between the one side of the bed and the wall was quite limited. The one wall had a huge wall mirror which could be a safety issue if you happen to bump into it due to the limited space. We enjoyed the small balcony outside our room. The breakfast was excellent - good variety and nutritious. We don't know if it was the language barrier, but we found that most of the staff at the front desk were not very welcoming or friendly.

Nothing fancy, but it did the job.

I stayed four nights during my first time in Bucuresti, and I was completely happy with the hotel. The staff were very nice, especially the ones working the serviceable breakfast. The room was fine, no issues at all, although the shower stall was a bit small (so typical). The location is fine, close to the central University metro station but not in the center of the city, more of a residential neighborhood, and a fairly nice one for walking around. No complaints, just what I wanted.
