From the moment I arrived nothing was too much trouble, I had my bags carried to my room and was told about the history of the hotel. Each time I left or entered the hotel entrance the door was opened for me and I was told to have a pleasant day. Breakfast each morning was outstanding, buffet style with an enormous amount of choice. Perfect cocktails in the bar and the option to eat in the on site restaurant if required. When leaving for the airport to go home a taxi was arranged for me with no fuss which arrived within minutes, I was walked to the taxi and my luggage placed in the vehicle.

Having to leave

Beautiful hotel, with an interesting history, recently modernised to a high standard. Quirky decor with antiques and eclectic finds all over the hotel. Clean and well cared for, excellent housekeeping service. Room was lovely, super comfortable and stylish, quieter rooms at the back of the hotel. Helpful staff. Some lovely restaurants and cafes in walking distance.

Breakfast buffet was awful, very difficult to find anything healthy to eat. Such a shame when this is such a great hotel! No fresh fruit apart from whole apples, one plain yoghurt but nothing to put on or in it. White toast and sugary pastries, only jam or nutella to put on toast. Orange juice in dispenser poured in from a bottle and cheap and processed. Dusty looking cereal in a dispenser. Cooked items similarly poor and not well prepared. I could go on. A few simple improvements would go a long way!

I liked the architecture of the building, and the restaurant is very nice. I liked the piano and the library as well. The lift looks amazing! There is so much art exposed on the walls which changed my mood.

Location is walking distance to the town. Lovely room and staff were friendly and helpful.

Street noise very loud at nite as our room was at front of hotel. The restaurant smelled strongly of cigarette smoke

Our room (Executive Suite) was beautiful, clean and very comfortable. We had a big round bath, a small dressing area, hairdryer, hot water, good bathroom products as well as bathrobes, slippers and charging points by the bed. The hotel and reception staff were very polite and friendly. The hotel receptionist was so helpful in arranging a pick up breakfast bag , as we had to leave early) for a sightseeing trip. The hotel breakfast was very fresh, there was a selection of cold and hot food./ drinks. The hotel is on a main road so there is some road noise.. Only a short (10 min) walk from the old town and Piata Universitatii were some of the daily bus trips departed from. We would recommend the hotel Lido by Phoenicia. Thank you we enjoyed our stay.

The original lido is still visible at the back of the hotel, would be great to see that cleaned up and utilised once more. Loved the original decor throughout the hotel and the rich palette of colours used in a world where muted tones seem to be the go to choice. My bag missed the connecting flight in Amsterdam - the reception staff were super helpful in communicating with the airport on this. Excellent central location, you can walk to all points of interest, theatres etc. The concert hall very close by is well worth a visit - I was lucky enough to sit in on an orchestral rehearsal which was just fabulous!

Breakfast was a little bit chaotic as everybody was just seating themselves - perhaps a little more guidance from the restaurant team might prove beneficial 🙂

First of all They gave us a free upgrade to a deluxe king double room ,they gave us the opportunite to choose a room with balcony or without,up on arrival a bottle of wine was waiting for us complimentary. The room so big and spacious with a small living room , beautiful old fashion decor.Comfortable bed, clean linen ,spotless bathroom. Special touch the old school elevator!! Polite staff and always happy to help. Extra touch :Because of celebration of a national day they served all day free champagne ,wine cakes and sweets!!

Breakfast needs a bit of upgrade for 4 star hotel, more variety, and changes through the days!every day was the same!!

A perfect choice for both short and long stays, this hotel is situated on Magheru Boulevard, affectionately known as the heart of Little Paris. It’s ideally located less than 1 km from the Old Center and a mere 200 meters from the Romanian Athenaeum. The hotel’s blend of modernist design and Art Deco elements infuses the public spaces and rooms with a unique beauty and historical charm. My executive suite was a true highlight—spacious, perfectly soundproofed, and luxuriously furnished. The excellent air conditioning was essential during Bucharest’s hot summer days. The suite featured a well-appointed desk, a minibar, and tea and coffee making facilities, catering perfectly to both leisure and business travelers. Additionally, the spacious dressing room and décor seamlessly combined contemporary style with the elegance of Interwar Bucharest, offering a delightful ambiance. The value for money here is outstanding. The hotel's hard product—its physical attributes and amenities—are top-notch, with competitive pricing for such a modern and luxurious experience. However, what truly sets this hotel apart is the human factor. The staff, from housekeeping to the reception team, are exceptionally professional, friendly, and always ready to assist. In summary, this hotel offers an excellent balance of modern comfort and historical elegance, complemented by impeccable service. It’s a place I will undoubtedly return to every time I visit Bucharest, making it my top recommendation for anyone traveling to this vibrant city.

very good old style hotel - well preserved and very clean! Very attractive, room was very spacious and specific room had also a balcony! Bed was comfortable and all in all in the room it was really very good

some details were missing, like fridge was not plugged in and had to find out the hard way - after I put staff in the fridge and three hrs later they were not cold, batteries of TV remote control needing replacement as well as the clock that was provided, such small details. An extra pair of power sockets on the flat surface would be ideal, since I had to swap plugs between my laptop for the kettle, and the lamp.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Hotel Phoenicia. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make my stay exceptional. Upon check-in, I received a complimentary room upgrade, which was such a lovely surprise. They also gifted me a bottle of champagne- which was such a nice gesture. The staff were friendly and kind, ensuring every interaction was warm and welcoming. On my departure day, they allowed me to extend my checkout time, which gave me the chance to relax a bit longer before my flight. The room was immaculate and beautifully designed. Combined with the exceptional service, it’s clear that the team genuinely cares about creating a memorable experience for their guests. I recommend this hotel to anyone who visits Bucharest.
