InterContinental Hotels ATHÉNÉE PALACE BUCHAREST by IHG

The surroundings are great, close to the National Theatre and the Royal Palace, with plenty of dining and shopping options nearby. The interior environment is also good, with complete facilities. The service attitude isn't bad, but the efficiency is just typical European level.

The hotel has an excellent location with convenient transportation. The rooms are clean and tidy, and the service is exceptional. The breakfast buffet offers a wide variety of delicious options. The staff member in the picture provided excellent service.

Overall, it's pretty good, but it's definitely a bit old now. It's a bit like 'all that glitters is not gold' – the lobby and restaurant are very grand, and it's close to the Greek Theatre. The staff are quite friendly, and the rooms are relatively spacious. It's considered one of the better options in Bucharest.

First of all, I'd like to thank the staff, who were always very friendly and helpful (there's even a WhatsApp messaging service for requesting information or services). The hotel is in a great location and is a new property, with modernly designed rooms that are spacious and equipped with multiple electrical outlets, perfect for charging your devices. The beds are really comfortable and the bathroom is a great size; I loved the kettle and the coffee machine with its various options, and I found a fresh bottle of water every day. Honestly, I would have liked to try breakfast at least one morning, but paying 150 euros for the room, spending 60 euros for two seemed a bit excessive. However, I understand that these are market dynamics and the price is probably fair. To be honest, I was kindly suggested to check the app to book it at a lower price (here on Trip, if I remember correctly, it was 23 euros), but after a few attempts, I couldn't find it and gave up, lol. Obviously 10/10. That being said, I thank and greet the staff once again for their helpfulness and kindness.

The hotel's location is super convenient for shopping and sightseeing right outside the door! There are also plenty of dining options. The facilities are great, though the heated towel rail wasn't turned on. The main downside is that it's right on a central road, so it's incredibly noisy! There's constant traffic, and downstairs by the roadside, young people laughing loudly at the cafe were really annoying. We had no choice but to keep the windows closed and endure the stuffiness; we couldn't open them for fresh air while sleeping!

Very nice hotel in the city center, thank you for your hospitality.
