    The room door doesn't lock properly, the stairs are very small hard to climb with bags... No air conditioning in the room just in the kitchen/living room... The mattress not good at all

    The room was not clean, the kitchen was incomplete - why bother to create one if it is not equiped. There was a bad smell comming from the barhroom, I think it was due to the fact that the city sewer sistem if bad, it smelled in other parts of the city also. The walls were so thin that yoi could hear the footsteps of the neighbor like it was next to you. If you can not sleep because of trafic you should not book here, it is closed to main boulevards and the noise from the cars is loud.

    Parking space and staff ok.

    The walls are very thin, you can hear everything, no wifi, no towels, the bathroom goes moldy and the toilet will need fixing soon.

    The location is very good, near the train station. The apartment has a kitchen. It is a good option just for a one overnight stay.

    There are only one towel in the bath for the two guests, and there isn't any flat sheets for sleeping. There isn't any toilet paper. Thera are only duvet in the wardrobe without sheets. The duvet have stains and not very good smell. If you want to stay in the hotel get yours a towels, toilet paper and bed clothes.

    It is in the centre, on foot distance to landmarks of the city. There are a free parking. The rooms are bigger enough.

    It’s very dirty from outside and the rooms are ok with the cleanliness. If you have a lot of suitcases or heavy inform the owner in advance to give you a room down as the stair ase is horrible and you have to carry everything on the way up. Also in the information before booking there is no clarification what time is check in and I had to send message to the owner which he never replied and we ended up in the location at 9 am and the check in was at 4, after a long train ride you just want to rest a little bit and shower, we had to go to explore city for 7 hours until the room was clean. Not a really good experience, thank God we only stayed one night. Plus the bolt driver told us the location was dangerous.

    The location is good and the room is spacious.

    I booked a room that looked ok in the pictures, but the sheets were dirty, the lights didn't work in the bedroom, there were no cutlery or anything at all that you could cook with, this is what i booked for. sometimes the parking lot was full so I couldn't park. wifi didn't work. I booked another hotel in another city, I couldn't be there. you barely made it to the top floor with my suitcase as it was very crowded. This was the worst accommodation I have encountered for all categories. I would really like my money back!!!!

    the area was ok, no break-ins in the rental car anyway

    You cannot expect much for such price but condition of this place was really poor. Living room was smelly, many things were broken. Not to mention the fact that some fundamental things such as soap, towels or shampoo were not available (guess I have to be grateful that there was toilet paper).

    Great location, close to the train station. Good communication with the owner.

    It is necessary to replace the plumbing in the shower and pick up a good floor cleaner. Some textile details of the interior (a sofa in the kitchen, a bedspread) need to be replaced or repaired as they were burned by cigarettes from previous guests

    The room is located near the train station. It has 3 comfortable double beds and a small sofa in the kitchen. There are two toilets and a shower. There is a washing machine and an electric stove where you can cook food. Very warm, there are hot floor, heating and air conditioning. The staff are attentive and friendly like in a 5 star hotel. The small size of the rooms compensates for the pleasant attitude and the possibility of communication 24/7.

    Aparthotel was under construction. Access to the upper floors was done through a very tight staircase. (Maybe half a meter wide). I could barely bring up my luggage. The sheets were not clean when we arrived. There were spider webs on the lights and I also found a small cockroach ( it was dead). Also, heating was a problem. The thermostat was installed in room number 10, but it commanded the heating for room 10 and 9. So if someone in room 10 was opening the window, the people in room 9 would be melted by the heat. However, we managed to close the heaters. The problem was at night. People from room 10 had their temperature under control whilst we were chilling. As I've already mentioned, the building was undergoing maintenance. This meant the builders were up and down the stairs all the time, and the staircase was full of dust and debris. All this led to the fact that we were unable to keep the room clean, because we were constantly dragging in dust and so on. Hence, we couldn't walk around the apartment without our shoes on. Luckily we were away most of the day, but if we were to try to nap or something, at noon, I would imagine we couldn't have been able due to the noise of the machines from maintenance. Wouldn't go again. The only good thing is the staff, which is friendly and the fact that it's dirt cheap.

    Staff was friendly

    It needs indepth cleaning and major renovation.

    The place is close to the North Train Station (10min walk). Acceptable for the purpose of sleeping a couple of hours near the main train station in Bucharest. Sheets and towels were clean.

    - Situated in an old area of the city; - TV is not smart so you cannot watch Netflix or attach a laptop and watch a movie (it would need a HDMI cable) - it was missing glasses completely in the kitchen - we had only 1 set of towels for 2 persons

    The apart was big and windows were good for isolating the exterior sound - comfortable bed - easy communication with the host

    The check in was not great. It has kind of self check in, but you don't t receive the instructions in the reservation, so if you can't call to the owner, avoid that option. The room wasn't really clean. In 2 person room there was only one set of towels. Also the furniture is in bad state. The table flipped when I put the dish on it. And it smells in and near apartments.

    The location allows you to go to the center of the city by foot.
