JW Marriott Bucharest Grand Hotel
The staff was very nice. The room was small I send a message to the hotel, asking for pickup at the airport but never got a reply The sauna was adjacent to the lockers room, which for me was a minus. It would have been nice with the sauna adjacent to the pool i stedet

Hilton Garden Inn Bucharest Old Town
The suite we had was perfect for the 4 of us. 2 couples staying for 3 nights. We both had our own space, own TV's fridges and toilets and shared the shower. Very clean, friendly staff, good breakfast options in the heart of the old town. Bit noisy at night and early hours from a local night club ...

Grand Hotel Continental Bucuresti
We loved the massage in the Spa. Room was beautiful but some of the towel hooks and other fittings in the bathroom need attention. The gym should be open in the morning and generally needs some love … it has bags of washing in one corner and broken plastic chairs in another.
