Paulestii Noi Vacations from $300

Do not stay here! This accommodation is awful! It should not be rented out as it was in a right state. There is damp everywhere, on the ceilings and even the wallpaper was coming away from the wall. The boiler had a bowl underneath to catch water that was dripping. The bathroom had broken tiles, mould and dirt around the edge inside the shower. The bedding was old and bobbly. The tv remote was held together with gaffer tape which also had a lump of chewing gum stuck on it too. Yuck! There were cobwebs everywhere. We arrived when it was dark and there were no lights on to see where we were going so had to use our torch. The outside area is not well kept and is messy. The list could go on. The pictures on the website do not look how it looks now. These were obviously taken a very long time ago as it’s all now very worn and not been maintained at all! It was that bad, we had to book to stay elsewhere for the rest of our time in Bucharest.

Great! Walkable to all restaurants and attractions

Great location in a quiet area only 20 minutes away from the Old Town by bus and also close to a Metro stop. I was very glad to be staying somewhere within easy reach of all the sights but away from the noise and crowds of the Old Town! My 8th floor room was spacious and well-appointed with a very comfortable bed, ironing board and iron, plenty of storage space, desk and chair. The included breakfast buffet had plenty of choice in the mornings and it was good to have a kettle in the room (with complimentary tea and coffee). I did have a problem initially on checking in as the room was extremely hot (the thermostat read 27.5 degrees and the room also smelled incredibly strongly of air freshener) and I was told it wasn’t possible to put the air conditioning on at this time of year and I would just have to leave the window open. I complained again when I got back from dinner in the evening and it was still 26.5 degrees in the room despite the window having been open for hours - the air conditioning in my room was then enabled so I could sleep in a comfortable temperature. Aside from that the only annoying thing was that the in-room WiFi hotspot only works when the television is on so you have to reconnect it every time you come in and can’t leave your devices connected overnight unless you want to sleep with the TV on. However that was a relatively minor annoyance and all in all I thought this stay was good value for money and I would stay at Hotel Le Blanc Cotroceni again.

Great stay, would definitely recommend. Great location!
