Service with A Smile!

I tend to travel a bit, and have had the luck to stay in some really amazing places, so I am very aware that all good hotels will have the basic stuff - good beds, clean rooms/bathrooms, etc. But what you don't find everywhere is great service. And that's what I got at the…

We're frequent travelers, and this Hilton exceeds our experience with any Hilton in the past. After a one week tour to the Transylvania and Bucovina, we checked in at the hotel for our last night in Bucharest. When we opened the door to our room, Wow, we got a complimentary…

The worst food ever. Great bed though!

This is the 2nd time in 3 years I have stayed at this hotel. I think that during that time the food has managed to get worse. This is surprising as the last time I was there it was the worst I had ever experienced and this trip was worst yet again.Green Eggs and Ham is no longer…

Old fashion, "Fully dissapointed"

First of all the hotel looks old fashion if I compare Radisson or the other concurrences. We live in Bucharest, and i organize many dinner or brunch business or pleasure between friends. We had been for a Christmas brunch, the buffet was poor. There were Foies Gras on Menu,…

Hi. I want to book a spa package and lunch/afternoon tea as a birthday treat for a friend who will be staying with family in Bucharest. Does anyone know if this is possible and how i go about doing it or is it just for hotel guests? Thanks S

The concierge at the hotel should be able to handle it for you. He speaks quite passable English. You can reach him through the hotel switch board or via email. email would obviously save you the long distance charges

What are the parking arrangements in the hotel? Is it free?

Parking is NOT free. It is available in a lot right cross the street from the hotel. It costs 50 Lei a night, which was about $12.50 US the last time I visited. Thee is no valet parking.

I have 3 questions about transportation: 1. Does the hotel still provide hourly shuttle service from the hotel to the airport? I thought I saw somewhere that it is close to 10 Euros? 2. Are the taxi prices fixed from the airport? About how much would they be to the hotel? 3. Is it possible to take the metro from the airport to the hotel? If so, what would be the closest metro station to the hotel and is it a safe walk? Thank you!

I used the metro when in Bucharest and it felt safe but I don’t know if it goes to the airport. We were collected by a Work colleague on arrival but used the hotel shuttle to return. You book this with the concierge and it is hourly ( not sure re night flights). We paid €10 per person. When we were due to leave there was only the 2 of us travelling so we were taken in the hotel limo. It was an efficient and pleasant experience with a nice driver. We tipped him on arrival. Hope that helps.

Hi, can someone tell us if we can pay for taxis - and meals later - in Euros or if we will need to convert some to Lei? Also if we do need to, where is the best place to exchange - we are coming from Heathrow. I see this line of postings is "over a year old" - does that explain the much lower taxi fare quoted compared to other sites - from airport to Athenee Palace hotel? Thanks for your help.

We used the ATM's in the vicinity of the hotel and had no problems at all. Lei is universally accepted whereas Euro are not. One tip though, do not mistake the Lei sign for Euro's. You'll end up paying much more.
