Bucharest hotels in Centrul Vechi

Pros: The restaurant staff, was verry nice.

Cons: The people at reception, can smile a littlebeat more.

Pros: Breakfast was outstanding!! Check in and check out were excellent. Location was even better than I imagined. Facilities were great!! The staff was EAGER to please and very helpful!!

Cons: all good

Pros: The hotel is very clean. Location is great.

Cons: The manager at the hotel reception was not sympathetic. Answered with no passion to her job. Other employees were good!

Pros: Convenient access to restaurants, bars, and super market. Gym is small but ok.

Cons: There’s only one restaurant in the hotel.

Pros: The location was well situated for access to old town, and short walk from an underground station. The staff were extremely helpful, and took very good care of this bewildered traveller. I hear the breakfast was nice, but I never made it, due to engaging in too many late night local attractions.

Pros: Great hotel Supreme location Super friendly staff

Cons: The room was smaller than standard rooms.

Pros: Location is central, very accessible, decor is modern and minimalistic, and it was a nice gesture to have complimentary water every night. I liked the idea of having a snack bar in the lobby to stock your fridge instead of filling the fridge and tallying consumed items every day. The room we booked was spacious with great soundproofing. Taxis and uber drivers are always available around the hotel.

Cons: -The first impression of the lobby was not good as pillows were randomly scattered and dirty cups left, while staff were inattentively chatting with each other. The same with cleaning our room, it was rather superficial and quick. The Cleanness and tidiness is something that either make or break the experience in the hotel; I felt disappointed. - The lobby lacked good vibes, no music, no fresh aroma, and no flavored water. - Gym needs more equipment for upper body training. - Pillows are old and must replaced, totally not comfortable

Pros: all was very well, clean, confortable

Pros: The location was good

Cons: The aircondition in the room was switched to heat from the reception and we could not switch it to cool. There were no option to open windows in the room. After complaining in the reception they switch back to cool, but day after they switched again to heat. In addition, the staff were not friendly and welcoming. We excpected more from 4 stars hotel. Not recomended!!!

Pros: There was an error in ordering the room. It should have been a double room, but by mistake a single was ordered instead. The staff tried to make us feel good and provided us with provisions for two although the room was small. We located in old Bucharest.

Cons: The bathroom was small with little space for placing toiletries.

Pros: Great service and location. Nice breakfast and clean rooms. No complaints. Would recommend.

Pros: I liked the location on the lower end of old town where there are lots of restaurants and cafes. Also, it is easy to access from public transportation. The breakfast choices were sufficient and the lobby provided space to sit and spend some time.

Cons: The standard pillows are very dense. I should have asked for softer ones, but I decided to let it go. Also, there was a tricky room charge for water placed in the room. I didn't realize there would be a charge until I noticed the little card on the desktop. But, no big deal.

Pros: The staff, cleanliness, and location are all excellent. I have stayed here twice and would not hesitate to stay again.

Cons: The rooms facing the bar next door can be a little noisy, especially on weekend nights. The breakfast buffet is average at best.

Pros: Hotel couldn't be more centrally located and the historic building has a human touch. All the staff I met were extremely helpful and attentive. There was a wide choice of good quality food for breakfast. Room was clean and comfortable.

Pros: My flight was delayed by an hour so i ended up getting to the hotel at about 1:30 am on a Friday morning. The reception staff were friendly and helpful and there was a bellboy on duty to assist with taking my bags to the room. My room was on the fifth floor facing on to the city centre. Great views to be had looking out the window which could be opened to take in a more panoramic view. I had reserved a double bed as a solo traveller but was disappointed upon entering the room to see that it was a twin bed. The problem was highlighted and rectified the following morning as they were able to push the beds together to make a double. The room was clean and had all modern amenities to satisfy the discerning traveller. There was a big bottle of complimentary still water which was a nice touch. The fridge was also full of non-complimentary snacks and drinks if you so desired. The tv channels offered a few local channels as well as some in English. The bed itself was a bit low to the ground but comfortable enough for a good night’s sleep. There was a bit of ambient street noise that did filter through but not enough to stop a weary traveller from resting their eyes. I recommend booking your taxis directly with the hotel reception staff as they are with a reliable and trustworthy company. The hotel itself is located right next to the Old Town and so is a good base for exploring the city on foot. Overall it was a positive experience at Europa Royale Bucharest and I would definitely stay again when in Bucharest.

Pros: Location was awesome. Right in old town, easy to walk to a huge variety of shops and restaurants. The included breakfast is not bad with a good variety to accommodate everyone. Liked the Nescafe machine- great coffee.

Cons: The hotel has a bit of a weird set up, where half of the rooms face an internal atrium. If you get one of these rooms you can hear everything going on in the lobby and the restaurant, regardless of whether you have your window open or not. Speaking of which, these internal rooms are very, very hot. There is a thermostat in the room but even if you have it set to the lowest setting (18 degrees) it feels like 25 degrees. I had the manager come up to see if it was broken and he said it was working perfectly and it was a lovely temperature, why didn't I like it? I am a person that runs cold- I am constantly wearing slippers and sweaters and throwing blankets on myself at home- if I'm saying it's hot, it's hotter than most people can take. I tried a different internal room and it was exactly the same and eventually moved to a room on the outside perimeter of the building, these rooms have a window to the outside with fresh air. You can hear a bit of traffic but it's much easier to sleep. They charge something like 40 euros more a night for these rooms, which seemed like a lot considering they are pretty similar, just quieter and not boiling hot. (by the way I had two colleagues staying at the same hotel and they had the same experience- they didn't change rooms and they barely slept all week due to the noise and heat). The internet does not work very well. There are connection issues- particularly with newer apple devices. I have an iPhone X and I was only able to get onto the internet 3 times in my 8 night stay. The manager told me this was a problem with my phone- even though I have never had an issue connecting to the internet anywhere with this phone and I connected to wifi no problem with other restaurants in the area as well as at the airport. I was able to connect with my laptop and iPad without issues. It was fairly fast (on average about 7-10 MBPS up and down) although it's not completely stable- occasionally there are dips so if you are doing a lot of video calls for work, keep that in mind. Housekeeping was mediocre. On the days when I tipped, the room was cleaned ok. On the days I forgot to tip they barely made the bed and threw the towels in a heap in the bathroom. They never replaced my dirty glasses all week and only gave me new water about 50% of the time. Sometimes the empty water bottles were left just sitting there (I left them out so they'd remember to replace them). My colleagues started to put the do not disturb sign on their doors during the day because they felt they could do a better job tidying up than the maids. The hallway lights are on a sensor and sometimes they don't turn on for quite a while so you are walking in the dark which is sort of weird. Breakfast was good- the only negative thing is that the waitresses are very aggressive with requesting you fill in the satisfaction survey so they will interrupt you while you are mid-bite and stand over you until you fill in the survey. Very odd.

Pros: Hotel very nice, great staff, lively room, great shower, good location!

Cons: We were upgraded from inner atrium room to larger room 208, BUT it was on the front of the building facing the very busy Main Street with heavy traffic and many police sirens. The other corner of the room faced a very noisy, populated bar/coffee place that on Friday night was LOUD with bass disco music. Wife and I didn’t sleep at all and we were traveling the next day. Not good. Even seat plugs didn’t help.

Pros: It’s very close to major sights and easy to access

Cons: The property is kinda old. All the furniture is basic, staff is okay, not friendly, not rude. It’s okay if you need something simple.

Pros: Very good location, close to restaurants area in Old Town, Metro and Bucharest Hop-on/Hop-off Sightseeing Bus tour. The staff nice and very welcoming. The room with view town was great and clean. Good breakfast

Pros: The location was excellent. We had a lovely balcony which meant that we could see and hear the dancing fountains each evening - truly wonderful. The room was a little noisy at the weekend but that is to be expected due to the very central location.

Pros: Bright, clean and modern in an old part of town. Staff were helpful too

Cons: It was good so no real criticism

Pros: Real mix-up. Noone told us that breakfast was on second florr (first in Europe) and we had it from the oder desk, so got charged, even tho the rate included breakfast. I objected.

Cons: small elevator....understandable but a trlfle disorganised

Pros: Location was perfect right in the middle of old town on pedestrian street with outdoor cafes and restaurants all around. Very friendly staff, spacious, comfortable room.

Cons: nothing

Pros: Location was amazing! Right in the heart of the old town. Easy walk to everywhere and loads of places to eat. Hotel staff were lovely and the rooms are really big.

Cons: Hard to find as down a pedestrian road and loads of no-entry roads up to it which the sat nav didnt pick up - but thats not the hotel's fault!

Pros: The hotel is on the edge of the old town and the city centre. I had Room 71 which has a balcony with table and chairs not attached to any other balcony. This was great with a really fabulous view over the roof of the national bank. You can see the parliament not far away which was lit up in bright colours when I was there. There is a Mega supermarket very close and you can buy supplies there. Using Uber or Bolt it is easy to get around. You have to walk 250m to the Hilton because the hotel is on a pedestrianised street.

Cons: Room and hotel need a freshen up with new paint and carpets and it is all slightly ramshackle, including the reception / office being reached through their restaurant, but it is still good value. Windows were closed at night but I could still hear throbbing music from cafes outside and the fridge was quite noisy but overall minor issues. One slightly irritating thing is that they ask you to pay before you have even seen the room. Every other hotel I have been to asks you to pay when you leave. It worked out fine for me but if there had been a problem it might have been...well, problematic.

Pros: Size of room .Furniture.

Cons: Not much breakfast choice. No air con in breakfast area on a very hot day!Better light needed in room.No complimentary bathroom toiletries as promised and no snacks.Fridge did not work.No mini bar in fridge.very hard bed.

Pros: Location in old town Bucharest.

Pros: Big room - great location!

Pros: Excellent breakfasts, huge room (Business class- upgrade well worth it) - spotlessly clean. Right in the centre of things (though far enough away from 'Restaurant alley' to avoid all night noise!) - undoubtedly not the quietest of places, but the central situation made walking to all places of interest very easy. Windows were well insulated from the noise. (and so tired after viviting such an interesting city that we were 'out like a light' every night anyway :-) All staff friendly and very helpful.

Cons: Staircases - to upper floors and mezzanine - a litle difficult for elderly legs to manoeuver - but that is my problem, not theirs!

Pros: fantastic hotel

Cons: noise from the street in the evening

Pros: Location is ideal for us, near the history museum and many shops and restaurants. Hotel is charming. Our room was wonderful, huge, comfortable. Great to have two comfortable arm chairs and a good desk chair and the bed is comfortable too. Breakfast is delicious.

Cons: Neighborhood is astonishingly noisy at night on the weekend--loud singing in the streets at 2:30 and 3:30 a.m.! That's what you get for staying in the middle of the liveliest neighborhood. Also the safe in the room didn't unlock-- twice.

Pros: Staffs are really well people. Especially in restaurant , Stefan is funny and customer focused. Romms are clean and have enough area ;)

Cons: Breakfast can be better ;)

Pros: Perfect location in the Old town very animated, and you can find anything you need face to hotel Staff very kind and competent You can enjoy nice surroundings and nice restaurants

Cons: To be honest the breakfast was quite common. But nothing bad though. I finally got 1 breakfast rather than 2 over 2 nights stay.

Pros: Staff very friendly and helpful - very quick to offer assistance when my daughter had an allergic reaction. Generally a very pleasant stay (sans minor medical emergency which was not related to the hotel!)

Cons: Minibar prices were some of the highest I've seen in a while, though we just popped over the street so not a major issue.

Pros: Excellent location, nice staff

Cons: Can be a bit loud, windows didn’t close very tightly

Pros: Excellent location, lovely and helpful staff. We stayed on the same floor as reception is and faced the street, yet we heard no noise from the street. Absolutely huge room with plenty of storage and space.

Cons: The landing in front of the room was a bit smelly and my key needed to be reset every time we returned back to the hotel. Not a problem at all as the staff was around 24/7.

Pros: Location is good and good view from the balcony. Clean

Cons: Light switch near to bed was broken. The table and chairs outside (on the balcony) not so new and comfortable. A lot of strange and dangerous people were outside next to main hotel door. It was scary.

Pros: Well decorated hotel with very good location. Sound proof windows as it was very quiet despite the noisy night life on the streets. Very clean room and bathroom.

Cons: The reception is on the first floor and the elevator doesn’t go all the way down, so there was no disabled facilities and it wasn’t easy to cary the suitcase up the stairs. Also the elevator doors are not at the floors but between the floors so there are additional stairs to make.

Pros: I like the bed and the bed sheets -- the were super nice and good quality

Cons: I did not like that they did not inform on the webpage that you had to walk up one floor to enter the hotel -- I have a problem with my knee and it was difficult for me. The have to fix the electricity in the room and the door lock -- the new system is not working properly. If you have coffee machine in the room you should also replace cups and glasses each day if they are used -- this was never chanced in the 4 days that we spent in the hotel.

Pros: Great location, good breakfast, pictoresque view over Bucharest from balcony.

Cons: Small room and due to unecessary furniture, very little space for storage and moving around bed, always considering the hotel is situated in the old town. A warm smile in reception would be a pleasant welcome for guests on arrival and during the stay.

Pros: Very good location, comfortable room, great breakfast and very friendly staff. Clean, safe, pretty.

Cons: It’s not easy to change in that type of building but the many steps can be an issue for people with mobility problems, even for a younger fit person it can be tiresome with heavy luggage.

Pros: It’s very central, and the hostel location is just super.

Cons: Washrooms could be cleaner

Pros: Friendly cute girl at reception, after check in they left me alone which is nice. Wifi is smoking fast, I was able to download a 1 GB file in about 20 seconds. Cheap and right in the middle of centru vechi.

Cons: Showers are weird, takes some finesse to get a good pressure and temperature. A compromise that comes with being in the middle of the party, you are surrounded by clubs that blast music all night and drunk people are screaming outside along with it. Security is a little questionable, use the provided lockers!

Pros: The right place to be

Pros: Good stay , good staff

Pros: This place is what it says - Central, run of the mill hostel with a downstairs bar and common area. You're not going to be blown away, but it is good value

Cons: As some other reviews have pointed out, the bathroom on the top floor needs some improvement.

Pros: How forthcoming and friendly the staff was

Cons: The check in time

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Hostel stay zero or one rate. The hostel does not state anywhere that they do not accept credit card when you walk to the reception there is a piece of paper on the wall that say you can only pay in lei. I had to walk for about ten minutes to find a bank atm to withdraw lei from. There is an exchange machine right next to the hostel but it does not look trustworthy. When I come back to reception with the lei and I pay the receptionist got upset with a customer that call saying he needed help finding the hostel. When I thought he was going to take me to the room he tells me oh we are over book I need to put you in another hostel that we have. The other hostel was down an alley and did not have the view as the one I had booked. The guy tells me you will have the room to yourself no one else will be here tonight. I go use the bathroom come back to the room and there is a guy asleep in the be and the guy smelled very bad. The room had no ac as describe on booking. I open the windows and it did not help. Also there were nine plugs available but only one worked and it was an extension cord that was running from the outside everytime I plug something in it would throw out sparks. I have stayed at many hostel through out my time in Europe and this has been the worst one I have been to. Would give it a rate of zero.

Pros: The location is good, very noisy, but very central.

Cons: I was shocked by how terrible this hostel was. I cannot believe it was so highly rated. When I arrived, the 24 hour receptionist was asleep on the couch and I had to shake him awake. I was given a bed with a very thin foam mattress which was very uncomfortable. There are no lights for each bed, and several of the power sockets near the beds were hanging out of the wall. There were no curtains on the window in the room, so the room was very very bright. There is either no double glazing on the windows or they dont close properly, so the room is also very noisy. Take ear plugs, because it is a noisy neighbourhood. The door to my shared dorm room was not secure, although it had a keycode the door didnt actually lock (or even completely close). There were a few lockers, but despite the fact that only 5/12 beds were occupied, there were no keys for them, so there was no where to securely lock my bag. There was nowhere to change in the room and there were only two toilets and one shower for the whole floor of dorms. The toilets were tiny (too small to actually change in), my knees hit the door when I sat down, and because of the way the doors are fitted, not only is it impossible to lock them, but bumping against them, opens them. The shower on my floor didn't have a lockable door at all, just a shower curtain. Neither of the two showers on the floor below had functioning shower brackets, which meant you had to hold the shower head to use it. They did have lockable doors, but also very wide gaps between the wall and door, so people walking past could see in.

Pros: Great location, couldn’t ask for a better spot in the old town and easy access to everything!

Cons: Very noisy at night until late but to be expected due to location and nearby bars

Pros: Private room was really nice, albeit the hostel was fairly basic and tired looking. Staff were a mixture of excellent and fine.

Pros: - staff was very helpful & friendly and spoke very good English - very good location - near old town + pubs & restaurants - air conditioning in the room (life saver) - room was specious and had a great view

Cons: - room wasn't ready when we arrived - it looked like a mess - they did the cleaning in 10 minutes - and we think not everything was properly cleaned
