My wife and I stayed at the hotel after a disastrous trip by Lufthansa from Frankfurt. We were met by our transport to the hotel who was very kind and helpful and well briefed by the hotel. We had dinner in the restaurant and were...assisted by a youthful waiter who assisted us with the initially challenging tablet showing the menu. After a dreadful travel it was restful andbin a very colourful and tastefully decorated we enjoyed the food the environment and the staff attention greatly. We had soup a local dish and a local desert and local beer fir myself and a local wine for my wife! The food was wholesome well prepared for me a little too much but as I said to the waiter please explain to the chef it was outstanding but I could not finish it! We especially liked the local desert! Another couple who returned to Roumania on an annual basis said it was the best hotel in Bucharest for money and service! We met the owner later who was genuinely interested in our opinions and reactions! We have travelled the world in Europe and Asia and have not found a hotel or restaurant where we felt more cared for genuinely. As I have a disability this attention and attitude from ALL I found exceptional! The restaurant we used often rather than our usual practice of one visit only.More

We stayed at the hotel for one night and tried the restaurant. Food was excellent! I personally enjoyed the desk breast with cranberries.More

The dinner offer here is that you pay what you think the meal is worth - there is no price list and you select your meal from an ipad tablet. We stayed overnight at the hotel and decided to dine in. We ordered the lamb...cutlets and vegetables. Sadly, when the meal arrived it was inedible. The cutlets were almost black and it was like eating chewing gum. We politely declined the meals and, at the hotel manager's suggestion, dined at an Italian restaurant (Galletto) just around the corner. A beautiful meal.More

The menu selection from a tablet was a different experience. Fun and nice for sure. But the service is quite slow even though we were the only one eating... I wanted to enjoy a gorgonzola chicken...but half of the chicken was raw so not really...enjoyable (though the taste and mix with gorgonzola was a very good idea). Then for the dessert i went for chocolate fondant... But this was totally liquid. Nothing like a cake... Fondant doesnt mean totally liquid.... And this was not pleasant. Didnt ask to change it though as service was rather slow and had been long enough there. So good thing is we pay what we want...i asked a sum and im still waiting for my change. Happened 15 minutes without seeing anyone... So we decided to leave....More

I had here one of the best lamb chops ever, relaxing and quiet atmosphere, nice selection of Romanian wines. Would go again!More

Great food, great cook, great atmosphere.The manager was very helpful and the service excellent. You feel the warmth of the place as soon as you go in, the food was very tasty, well executed and looked lovely. I would recommend it to anyone who wants...a great and varied breakfast, amazing culinary experience and i wish i had more time in my stay to try more of their menu.More

I won't talk about the unusual policy of the payment for the food, but everything was very nice! Tasty food, big portions, friendly waiter and a big collection of craft beers!

This hotel is in a quiet side street about a half hour walk from the old town. The nearest Metro station (Piata Victoriei) is about a ten minute walk. The Metro was easy to use, felt very safe and despite the negative things we'd heard,...it was very reliable. A single trip costs 2.5 RON (£0.50). The hotel is clean, welcoming and has more than a few gadgets. There's the massage chair and laptop for guests near reception, remote control curtains in the room, gently flashing multi-coloured lights in the shower and restaurant menus are on Samsung tablets. Breakfast was very good indeed. Loads of cereals and dozens of dishes of seeds, nuts and so on to sprinkle on top. Sausage, bacon and an eggy dish are part of the buffet but you can have omelette or other eggs prepared for you. There's loads of fresh fruit and excellent very fresh orange juice. Good old English breakfast tea is available if that's your preference, but several others are available. Good fresh coffee too. Our room on floor 5 was bright with interesting lighting, a safe, a balcony with views across roof tops. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom had a shower, WC, sink and hairdryer. We were offered a glass of local wine and a selection of cheeses as a welcome snack. We actually chose to wait until our second evening. It was very good. The hotel restaurant is a little unconventional, not just because of the menu tablets. It's an area with plastic tables near reception and rather lacked atmosphere. There are no prices for food; you pay what you think it's worth. Not sure of the point of that, but it seems that the hotel staff want you to focus on the food and not worry about the amount you pay. The food was pretty good, plenty choice, but the chips were barely warm and the friendly waiter had disappeared and didn't reappear until we'd finished. We were able to reflect our disappointment in the price we paid! There were several beers and wines available (at fixed prices). The hotel offers an airport shuttle but a standard taxi is cheaper and Uber operates in Bucharest. There are on-line transfer options too. On a Sunday evening it took no more than 15 minutes to get to the airport. Traffic in the opposite direction was pretty heavy. We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Christina and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.More

The dinner meals at Hotel Christina were very good and fresh. They had a menu with a variety for both meat eaters and enough for those who do not eat meat items. The lamb chops were wonderful and also the other items we ordered -...prepared by chef Andrei. This is my second time to stay at this wonderful boutique hotel. Great !!!More

This is a great restaurant that had only one big drawback for me. The food was great, and the service was good. Some real menus would be better than the tablet we were given to use. As I stayed in the hotel we had breakfast...there each day and it was a good start to the day. Dinner is where I had my concern. The food was great, especially the salads, and the service was good. I do not like the "pay what you like" policy! I had been traveling around a bit of Romania and had paid from 15 lei to 30 lei for excellent meals. This is not a good way to learn that in Bucharest 15 lei does not buy as much. The restaurant wait person refused to even listen to my concern about being fair and I had to use my best judgement which I believe was lacking in paying for our meals. Being in a different country has enough challenges without having to figure out how much to pay for dinner. That should be done my comparing prices on menus not by comparing other meals in other cities or even countries.More

Breakfast is nice and service is exceptional . Dinner however was bad. Uneatable. You pay for dinner as much as you want.More

I enjoy great food. I enjoy new places. So, when a restaurant is slowly rising towards the top positions in the restaurants in Bucharest, getting a lot of five stars reviews, I have to check it. What was I expecting to find in such an...appraised restaurant? 1. Great food. Well, I was disappointed to find just decent food that is far from surprising or original. A great dessert, then? No, my choice looked good, but tasted like having been just taken out of a hypermarket box. 2. Skilled personnel. Not my luck! A young guy was very nice but totally helpless and certainly did not know anything about food nor the food industry. 3. A wonderful location? I admit that the place is inside a good 4 star hotel. But this is it. An indoor garden helps the atmosphere, a little, though. 4. Some surprising details? I am not a fan of a menu that is not on paper and you have to browse through an outdated tablet. Also, I was not ready (nor did agree) the next surprise- the fact that you do not have pricing, you can pay as much as you like. This is, in fact, the click that made most of the 5-star reviews. Well, it didn't click for me. All-in-all? And here comes the reason I wrote the review... All of you, reviewers out there, if you find a decent place with some surprising touch, put a three star on it, a four star, maybe, but do not haste into five stars. Because, after your continuous five-starring, somebody else might expect a great place, get disappointed and, instead of letting a decent meal be, it will trigger in her or him an urge to pick the tablet, go on TripAdvisor and write a 2-star review. As I do now. Even if, in the end, nor the restaurant or the people there would deserve such a bad appreciation.More
