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.

Radisson BLU Bucharest
This hotel has a lot to offer. Nice ambient, extraordinary life in bar area and nice staff too. Check in is unfortunately the slowest I ever experienced ( and I have more than 120 travel days every year ) But the hotel in general is extremely good value for money
