Grand Hotel Bucharest
The room was clean with a comfortable bed. I had a balcony along with a nice view. The hotel lobby was nice and staff were helpful. What i didnt like was the tub in the bathroom as it was deep and high which made it difficult to shower. I slipped when climbing out. Also the checkout process was terrible ...

Peakture Hotel Bucharest
WI-FI was intermittent. You can not depend on it if you are planning to use the internet. Otherwise, great location and clean.
