    They didn't replenish the tea bags, coffee bags and water in the room on the second day of my stay.

    It was clean, comfortable and close to the underground station.

    The bathroom sometimes smelled really bad, it was a smell coming from the bathroom drainage, must have been old and dirty. My towel had a hole in it, not that it was a problem, but still shows lack of attention. I also noticed a small cockroach near the food at breakfast. Staff is not exactly friendly, and did not speak that much english. There was a confussion at some point with out payment and the treatment seemed rough and inconsiderate. There are no blinds in the room, and the curtain are not rally opaque, allowing a considerable amount of light into the room when the sun rises. I recommend travelling with an eyemask.

    It is a nice little hotel close to the main train station, very useful if you plane on travelling by train at some point as it is barely a 10 minute walk, and just a 30 minute walk to the city center. Room was spacious, and it was clean, beds were comfortable and so were the pillows. The room is equipped with air conditioning and heating, and towels and bedsheets are provided. The breakfast is quiet good and has a considerable variety of food. Tasty and the hall is big enough for all the guests. Everything was fully functional, and the hotel is easy to find and it is also on a quiet street.

    A silly thing to complain about but the room Is boiling, tried to cool it down with the air conditioning. Breakfast was very basic, toast, jam and coffee and cornflakes....if your not too fussed about breakfast all is good.

    It is a great value for money hotel, I would compare it to a travel lodge in the UK. Friendly hosts. Very clean and nice fresh lenor bedding, happy days. 😄

    I didn’t like the fact that even though there were no other guests in the building, they initially offered us the worst room they had (very small, very bad smell, and the bathroom walls were dirty). We asked for a different room because it was impossible to stay in that smell. When they showed us two different rooms (at the same price), both rooms were so much better, bigger and cleaner. Even the smell was not so bad even though there is a big problem in the building from the pipes. Also, there was too hot in the building and even though we turned down the heaters as it was impossible to breath, we had to sleep with the window open to be able to breath from the heat and the smell. And this happened in January! One day we found a bug in the bathroom, around our toothbrushes. The last thing we didn’t like was the fact that in 2 out of the 4 mornings we were not able to have the breakfast because of our own schedule, but the inn did not have the option to not pay for the 2 breakfasts. Or at least this is what we were told.

    I liked the central location. Easy access to subway/metro, and other public transportation. Also within walking distance from Calea Victoriei and other beautiful places in Bucharest. Really liked that there was a Church just across the street from the inn. The breakfast food was good and they offered different choices.

    I would recommend changing the floor covers which consisted of old fashioned carpet type which I think absorbs too much dirt and dist and gives a bit of old fashioned overall look. Everything else was good.

    Good location close to a bus stop connecting the hotel with the city centre. We had two rooms and the first one of it was ready at 11:00 so we could have left luggage 4 hours prior to official checkin time. The beds were comfy, the toilet was clean. There was also a very nice continental breakfast. The first floor was well decorated giving you a vibe from the past and cozyness at the same time. There was also a bookshelf with books available to take and complimentary bottle of water and a very good quality tea with forest fruits available to every tourist. Overall a very pleasant stay for the money paid.

    The place needs more maintenance. Sewer smells in the bathroom (I covered all the drains and it helped). It was rainning one day and the roof window was leaking.

    Friendly and helpful staff. I could check-in before the time. 10 min walking from Bucureşti Nord (35 min walking to the city center). There is a minibar and kettle in the room. Breakfast is included.

    Although it is an old building going up the stairs to the top floor with luggage is a bit challenging, also some dump aroma in the air but after all it's old.

    Not a criticism but if you have mobility problems thee ae a lot of stairs to climb. The hot drinks machine at breakfast did not dispense hot water for tea. Fortunately there was a kettle in the room and I could buy teabags from the local store

    Good sized room in a really beautiful building. Lovely seating area and complementary mints. 15 minutes walk from the Railway Station. Anna from reception and the breakfast room was very pleasant and friendly, Very Clean, Short walk to the Metro to get to the Old Town
