The Rexton is a modern hotel without being large and anonymous. Marble floors and vague classicism greet you downstairs, and a bizarre large likeness of the Medusa. Wedding receptions fill it with joy at weekends, which may be one reason for choosing a room on one of the upper floors, well away from the restaurant and its dancefloor. Another is the views across the city. Sounds of dogs barking and cockerels crowing drift upwards. In the morning after breakfast it's a pleasant stroll down into the city, to the Jean Mihai Palace art gallery or the great Marin Sorescu theatre or the shops and cafes.
