Great and clean place with nice modern interior and bathroom with working AC. It is close to one of the historical parts of Bucharest. Nice alternative lively pub close to it (Lokal) - but not too close, so location of hotel is nice and quite - together with grocery shops, bakery and restaurants close by. It was clean, personal was nice and they allowed me to leave my luggage in room with electronic lock after my check-out, as I was flying home at the evening, so I was able to pick up my luggage when I needed to. Very satisfied.

Everything was amazing. Nicely decorated place, The bed was super comfortable. There was a couch as well, I'm sure it's great if you travel with more people. Everything was perfectly clean, the bathroom is also very big and nice. There was a TV in the room, you can connect your Youtube, Netflix, Max, whatever you like to watch. The temperature in the room was also good. Location wise it's easy to get there from the airport, it's situated in the center close to bus stops and metro lines. There are many caffees and restaurants nearby, the neighbourhood is nice, friendly and pretty quiet during the night. Good instructions for check in, very easy to follow. We got a complimentary bottle of water when we arrived, we also had some coffee pods and tea for our stay. The communication with the host was perfect, they reply very fast and are eager to help you out with whatever you might need. In the courtyard there is a place with a little table and chairs where you can hang out. I highly recommend staying here. I'm looking forward to staying here again 😊

Nothing bad

I would like to thank the owner and housekeeping staff for being on hand and available whenever I needed. The apartment is beautifully designed and has great amenities. The beds are comfortable, great storage space, lovely desk to work, TV screen for entertainment and WIFI works well. I booked the apartment last minute on the day of check in. It was easy to check in via a door code and this went smoothly. The apartment is in walking distance to restaurants/cafes and bus stops. Very easy to get to the airport via bus number 100 which is a 10 minute walk away.

Everything was perfect. I enjoyed my stay. Thank you.

We didn’t have a breakfast, but location was comfortable and all places that we needed were near the apartment. We were glad to stay in this apart-hotel. And the tea on counter was delicious, the candies too❤️ Thanks for such gifts and the bottle of cool water in the fridge!

There was no ironing board and it was a bit inconvenient. But in general everything was OK. We would be happy to stay here again. Although we had a crazy neighbor upstairs who growled at 5am for 10 minutes☺️ but it didn’t affect the hotel quality.

I booked several rooms to accomodate my family for my wedding in Bucarest. The location is very convenient, next to the subway and the airport bus stop, the city center and most of the places you would want to go to in Bucarest are within 30 minutes by foot. The rooms are large, quiet and comfortable, with all the equipements needed. Very convenient self check-in with a digital code to access the rooms.

There is no reception (which was not an issue and not a surprise for us). Some of the rooms require to climb a very steep staircase to access them.

Courteous and attentive service from both the owner and the staff. Good shower, comfortable beds, and a relatively spacious room with a kitchenette and a work desk. Thank you very much for the hospitality — highly recommended.

This was our second time in the same apartment. The beds are really confortable and all of us liked the showers a lot. The apartment is clean, they offer lots of towels, plenty of TP, as well as water, Nespresso coffee, tea and biscuits. We’ll stay again for sure when in Bucharest!

There was no mosquito screen on the window in the living room, and although it’s October I like to sleep with an open window, however, there were too many mosquitos outside.

We had the ground level , side entrance studio. It was a big surprise to find this tastefully modern and friendly studio. The colour scheme was quircky and uplifting , the bathroom trendy and clean. The kitchenette was for small bites with trendy modern colourfull whiteware. But best of all are the beds , the mattrasses are simply perfect , would want those at home! It was clean , comfy and complete , also decently quiet. Walking to Piata Romana is fine , Bukarest is huge but this turned out strategic . We found some nice restaurants at 10min walk , also more reasonable priced than in downtown, Old Town . We also liked the neighbourhood for a late evening walk through some streets with imposing architecture .

The digital check in and " bluebutton" , the confusing software approach. The scattered info between Booking App and email. The process should be " leaner" , with less words maybe but more logic. Why do you get a final question " please pay" whereas it is already paid for , and why " check out" when I can close the door , that is it. So some almost annoying details to be tweaked!

The building is an authentic European building with clean, large, comfy rooms. We stayed for 2 nights, a family with 3 little children, and the spaced room with the kitchen was just perfect. The location is excellent, just near the center. The owner is very pleasant and cares about his guests' satisfaction. We will definitely return. Thank you

If stairs are a problem for you, you should mention it while ordering

The room was very clean and smelled amazing when we walked in! All facilities, including the mini kitchen area and the air con were exeptional.

There was some noise during the night and in the morning, but that is to be expected sometimes with the location being in the center of the city. Everything else was perfect, so this is a very minute detail.
