Very good size apartments. No jets in any tub, they are all broken. Kitchen is barely useful, not much available to cook with. If you're going in the winter and need heating, note that the apartment heaters will make laud noises every hour that require you to wake tweak the settings to make it stop. The advise was to leave them on max to avoid that noise which makes the room a sauna.

Overall the hotel was a nice place and area to stay. I recommend it for many reasons. Staff were helpful and polite. We enjoyed a clean and spacious room with a balcony during this visit. Breakfast buffet was okay and convenient each morning. This is pet friendly hotel. We brought our dogs and we were charged 20 Euros a night per dog. I understand the pet fee but a bit much to be charged for each dog.

Supposedly a 4 star hotel, however, once I was in my room I noticed the floors where dirty and hairs were stuck to the wall around the shower which was disgusting. The room was far too hot with no way to cool it down which made it difficult to sleep and relax. Tea and coffee was provided, however there was no kettle! I was told to ring reception each time to request a cup of hot water to enjoy a tea or coffee. They clearly can’t be bothered to buy new kettles for the rooms which are missing them. After my first full day in Bucharest I arrived back to my room to find men’s hair all over the bathroom floor which I found not on my disgusting but disturbing as well, the cleaning team need some training as this is clearly acceptable to them. I showed the receptionist who was obviously disgusted as well and she requested it to be cleaned the next day. Obviously, no one checks the cleanliness or work of the cleaners before guests arrive - you arrive and then have to ask them to clean the room (you would think it would already be clean). For a four star hotel I was really disappointed and wish I’d stayed somewhere else.
