Little Bucharest - Old Town Hostel

- Great view. The apartment is on the 7th floor overlooking some of the landmarks. It was the first time I took a shower while enjoying the view of the Romanian Parliament :) - Very spacious. There is a big living room combined with the kitchen + two bedrooms. The apartment can house 6 people. - Fully equipped. There is a cooker, a microwave, a big fridge, a toaster, an electric kettle, kitchenware, an air-conditioner, etc.

- When it was time to pay, the guys at the reception tried to overcharge us at first. - Wi-Fi didn’t work. We informed the staff, they said the problem was with the provider, but one of the guys at the reception suggested to us that the owner probably didn’t pay the provider in time. The TV didn’t work either. - Insects. We spotted a small colony of ants in the living room and killed two cockroaches. But maybe they had a family. - A creepy elevator. It’s very small, best for two people, it has a double internal door which was broken when we came, but we didn’t know about it, as there was no notice. - No cups for tea or coffee. - Location. It’s central, but you have to walk about 20 minutes to the Old Town, any big shops and 25-30 minutes to the bus stop from which you can take a bus to the airport. If you need to ask the staff something, you can only call them on your cell-phone, contact them on the Internet or literally walk to the hostel. - Help from the staff. One of my friends had a flight early morning, so she had to leave in the middle of the 2nd night of our stay. She asked the guys at the reception to book a taxi for her in advance. They said it was better to just call a taxi service at night and promised to do it themselves. The next morning they were very surprised to see my friend at the reception because they thought she had departed the night before. So they actually mixed up the dates and totally forgot that they had promised to book her a taxi. - Construction at the hostel – it was very noisy in the main building and the staff were busy, it was difficult to speak with them. - No goodbye – nobody checked us in or out of the apartment, on the final morning we just left the keys on the table and closed the door behind us.

Central location Andrei at reception was so helpful and friendly!

Where to start... Poor quality mattress Loud music blasts out until the early hours every day, even ear plugs didn’t help much Rude and ignorant staff Bathrooms with showers that don’t have a lock and give you no privacy
