Top hotels in Sector 1
Radisson BLU Bucharest
The overall impression of the hotel was great. The lobby in particular was wonderful. The breakfast was not particularly good, especially considering the price. The only negative thing was: on the day of departure we asked the staff to order a taxi in advance. The answer was that it will be ordered ...

InterContinental Athénée Palace Bucharest by IHG
Spotless room and stunning hotel. Service was 100%. We used room service which was very prompt and housekeeping were quick to help with anything. Reception was extremely helpful and the spa staff very accomodating. Jorj restaurant service 11/10 but for the price food could step up a level

Novotel Bucharest City Centre
The hotel is good. Not great. It’s clean. It has decent amenities. However the room was very hot and the hotel also has nowhere to buy personal items. The restaurant was good and they have room service which was nice. Overall I would say it’s a fine place to stay but just not luxurious.
