No working AC in the room and the heat was on. Too warm and too noisy to open door.

Concorde Old Bucharest Hotel
Perfect location in the old town and for exploring the city. Room was clean and comfortable. The decor is older style but that goes with the surroundings. Staff were polite. Breakfast was simple but nice. I would definitely stay here again

Moxy Bucharest Old Town
The Moxy is really cool and has nice rooms and bar/lobby area and I’ve enjoyed staying there. I just found the rooms a little lacking. No armoir/closet, no shelves or drawers, no bidet. For the top dollar you’re paying I’d expect a little more.
