Clean, well maintained hotel near Piata Romana (and the metro).
Only issue was that I was not sent my confirmation email prior to check in and so could not do so. As there are no staff at the hotel I had to call them, and to be fair they were very helpful but I feel I shouldn’t have had to call at all.
Aside from that it was perfect.

The metalic shower enclosure is all rusted and rusted water was leaking on the bathroom tiles. Furniture is dated and very tired. The mattress is a little more than a few bags of foam. I stayed on the top floor (6th floor) and it took 10 minutes to get any hot water in the morning. Expedia continues to list this hotel despite my objections, claiming to have forwarded my remarks and photos to the marketing group - very disappointing.

Hotel needs to be updated and a deep cleaning starting with the entry lobby. Staff is unfriendly and unwilling to accommodate any request from customers. I am surprised that Expedia is endorsing this hotel.

At 11 pm at night, the receptionist entered my room without my permission while I was in bed to retrieve another guests forgotten luggage. Unbelievable. He should have called and asked for permission first.

I should have reported him to his manager and police for illegal entry.

Breakfast was very limited compared to other hotels we have stayed in but that might be due to it not being a busy or big hotel.
The room was generally clean but the bath wasn’t so great with a reasonable amount of mould around it.
It’s not really got a bar as such. If you want a drink they just have bottles of beer that the person on reception will get for you. Thinking it had a proper bar was part of the draw to this hotel so it was a great disappointment.
The bed was very comfortable.

Excellent value for a central hotel

Great hotel in an excellent location, just a 2 minute walk from the 100 bus stop (to/from Otopeni airport) restaurants and takeaways within easy walking distance. We had a suite which was huge with 2 bathrooms, lovely warm room despite the thick snow outside. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Only stayed one night but would definitely stay again. Value for money was excellent for a city centre hotel.

This place sucks!

The first thing that hit me walking into the room. Was the overpowering smell of an antiseptic cleaner. Which means they don’t clean. They spray!
Also, the man at the reception was very unfriendly and rude. He wasn’t helpful at all. They need to send him to charm school or fire him.

Little Gem

This Hotel, is a little gem. It's easy to find, and is close to conscience store, metro, buses and taxis. Within easy walk to Old Town. The staff are friendly and helpful, English is fine (for those who may worry), the rooms are basic, but clean and reasonably spacious. The bathroom good size and clean.
The breakfast are basic, but plentiful. They cater all types whether you are diabetic, vegan or vegetarian.
This little gem is just that, a pleasant gem. And more so if you are only using it to sleep and keep ya things safe.

I recently had a highly disappointing stay at Duke Hotel. First and foremost, the cleanliness was appalling. The room was not properly cleaned, and there were visible dirt and stains everywhere. To make matters worse, there were significant issues with the hot water, making showers uncomfortable and unpleasant.

The biggest letdown, however, was the management. The manager seemed completely indifferent to anything but making money. Due to a booking mistake with Expedia, I ended up booking the wrong nights. Despite the hotel already receiving payment for the two nights I didn’t stay, they insisted I pay full price for an additional night. I was willing to pay, but they charged me the full price even though their reception sign recommended a price that was half of what I was billed. When I raised this issue, the manager dismissively said, \"It is what it is.\"

Overall, the experience was terrible, and I would not recommend Duke Hotel to anyone. The lack of cleanliness, hot water issues, and the uncaring attitude of the management made for an unpleasant stay.

A Good Experience

Despite a few outside phone in calls wrongfully handle by the receptionist in the middle of the night, and the loud vocally next door neighbors in the last evening, overall, the experience at the Hotel Duke - Romana was satisfactory.
Its central location makes an easy access to the city transportation and the touristic objectives.
I have to express my thanks to the breakfast service staff and the last but not the least, to the attentive manager for my inquiries.
Next visit to Bucharest will be The Hotel Duke - Romana, no doubt.

Would think twice before booking here again

The hotel is definitely a poor 4*s, rather a good 3*s, or a decent 3.5*s at best. The personnel is awesome, starting with the reception and continuing with the service in the breakfast area and the cleaning lady (Mihaela?) ... the personnel was not at fault for the large bugs on premises (took picture and showed at reception), or for the elevator not working one morning (had to go up 6 floors, involuntary fitness session).

can't really complain about anything

very good location of this hotel, just a short walk to old town, there's also a supermarket across the street, the north train station is 25 minutes away by foot. The breakfast was tasty and a good variety of foods. I liked that there was a kettle in the room. My room was quite OK when it comes to the street noise - the hotel is located by the busy streets and a roundabout but I didn't hear it that much in my room.
The hotel seems to struggle with the space for a luggage storage.

We stayed at this hotel for two nights. Overall it was a pleasant stay with a few exceptions.

the staff, when we checked in, was welcoming, offered to help with luggage as we had no elevator available because our apartment was in a next door villa. One of the 2 bedroom beds was clean. Overall it look clean until next day when my sister made her bed and had to use the shower.

I liked the location, even though Expedia didn’t show it on their website, this apartment wasn’t in the actual hotel building but in a next door villa.

A few things I did not like at all were :
that one of the 2 bedrooms beds was dirty in a place where one would not look unless you were purposefully inspecting for cleanliness. We were way to tired to inspect the rooms for that and we SHOULD NOT have to. The rooms should be clean upon arrival. We asked for new sheets and they came made the bed.
A Big THANK YOU for that !

The shower drainage was extremely slow.too long of a story to write about here. Hopefully they fix the drain issue.

When my friend complained about the dry poop on her bedsheets the day after our first night there, one of the managers insinuated that she had done that and asked why did she not inspect for cleanliness upon arrival.

I’ve spent a lot of time in 3 star hotels in USA and never had to inspect for cleanliness.

Our room had a slanted ceiling so we could only stand up in certain areas - we both kept banging our heads on the ceiling - and I’m not particularly tall. It was very hot in the room and the AC didn’t work very well. Breakfast was included which was ok, staff all seemed friendly enough. We wouldn’t stay again though due to the temperature in the room and the fact we couldn’t stand up - we didn’t spend much time in the room because it wasn’t comfortable.

(Bus 86 just around the corner from the hotel). The people at the front desk very accommodating especially Cosmin and Dragush. We will defenetily go back:) PS: If you need to shave bring with you a wireless shaver because in our two bed room 902 there was no plug in the bathroom.

The most important we chose the hotel because of the heat wave outside. Still the central system air conditioning was not working either in the rooms or in the lobby of the hotel. I went several times to the service desk, the employee said that it was working, although it did not blow cold air at all. We spent the night turning into the bed. Another problem was the parking, after we paid for it we were greeted by an individual at the parking place pointing out that the whole Enterprise was illegal.

some negatives but would book again, good location

Ideal location in central Bucharest, comfortable rooms, elevator, Wifi. No idea where one would park if they had a rental car (did not have one). Generally clean except for carpets which were vacuumed but had many stains (regular steaming would be advisable) and the usual mold stains around bathtub sealant, a very common sight in Romania (they cherish their bathroom mold). Neutral to fresh smell in room, which is good. Wifi a bit flaky - reasonably good signal in room, almost no signal in bed. We came on business so we felt wifi signal can use improvement. Bkfst substandard, given Romania is the land of good food: excellent warm bread but awful coffee from a machine with substitutes, poor quality of cold cuts, few choices, no pastry. Bkfst starts at 7 - we had to leave for business earlier and the 'cold breakfast' in a bag was as follows: (for 2 people) 1 whole kiwi (how to eat kiwi on the way?), 1 small yoghurt cup without spoon, 1 dry and awful orange, no napkins, 2 small sandwiches that went directly where they came from - the garbage bin. I think the cost of bkfst is EUR 12 per person - it is a scam. Moreover, no one checks who goes for bkfst so we could have eaten it w/o paying. However, it would not be worth the effort. The beds are more comfortable than the average bed in Europe. Ours had a clean mattress and a clean extra pad for softness. The sheets are white, clean cotton. White cotton towels were clean. Stairs have risers with unequal heights - watch your step!
