Novotel Bucharest City Centre
The hotel is very nice however my £3k jewellery got stolen out of my room which was very disappointing had to call the police which ruined the trip. However can’t fault the hotel other than this incident.

Grand Hotel Bucharest
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.
