Location: is close to Old Town and walking distance to some nearby attractions. Service: If you pay for breakfast, it is very good. But, the staff is not very friendly. For instance, if you stay one (1) minute after AM closing time and ask for a coffee or refill you will be told that they're closed. This happened to me and to travelling partners. We were ugraded to a room with a balcony, but, the door to the balcony was locked. The room was noisy from the street although we asked for a quiet room. The service cleaning the room had to be asked a few times to come even though the service room light was turned on for hours requesting service. And when we forgot an item in the hotel and contacted the staff to have it shipped, it took three (3) days to receive an answer. The facility is being rennovated and is nice (not luxurious) but the service by personnel is very uneven and needs improvement for a "luxury" hotel.

Beautiful Hotel and Great Service But…..
Such a beautiful hotel in a great neighborhood. Easy access to everything. Outstanding customer service. Front desk to restaurant staff showed great care and they were very courteous. Great breakfast buffet! Lot of verity. Only complaint is that there are two banquet halls by the reception. When there are functions, people are blocking the main entrance (Inside/outside) smoking and chatting. It’s like getting out of time square station in NYC during the rush hour. Very inconvenient for the guests. Staff did not bother to move them away either. What ever the reason they should not block the entrance. During my three night stay they had at least two functions every day! Getting in and out of the hotel was a bit challenging at any given time! Other than that it’s a great stay!

A grand dame of Bucharest hotels suffering during transition to Intercontinental. We stayed two nights in beautiful rooms but paid full price on Expedia without knowing about DOWNSTAIRS RENOVATIONS. Drop off and pickup are a mess, the bistro is closed and walled off, and the staff seem short handed. Phones are not answered promptly, the staff act rushed, room service order was wrong, and concierge hours are limited. Among other observations the view of the colonnade downstairs was ruined by some kitch cocktail tables presumably for an event, but it’s a pity to put black metal’s frames by the old marble and removed the seating. Overall the fine touches are missing, even the lobby flowers are sloppy, it does not feel like a connoisseurs’ hotel anymore.
