“Extremely diappointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed yesterday NEW

A very sad hotel, badly in need of refurbishment. Rooms, food, service are all well below standard to be expected. There appears to be no manager. At least he or she never once appeared during an important business meeting we organised, which was plagued with problems created by the hotel and which they did little or nothing to evolve. We...

This is an excellent value for money Hotel which is right in the center of the city, I could not fault the staff and no problems with English at all. This Hotel also has great historic value that is worth researching during your stay!

“Business travel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 days ago NEW

The staff were friendly and very helpful. My room was clean and comfortable. You really can't beat the location and there are many good restaurants close by (walking distance). There is everything from traditional Romanian food to sushi, French pastry shops to Italian restaurants. There are also several grocery stores and pharmacies within a five minute walk.

I was upgraded to the Executive floor and stayed in one of the larger suites. Unbelievable amount of space - I regretted I could not stay for longer. Comfortable, clean, the breakfast was delicious with lots of choice and very pleasant staff.
