Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Not central — The hotel is far from the city centre, so sightseeing requires a commute. It's best for airport layovers rather than exploring Bucharest on foot.
- Limited dining variety at breakfast — While the breakfast is generally praised, one guest noted the selection wasn't extensive.
- Comfort rating lower than other categories — Guest comfort scored 7.2, below the overall rating, suggesting some rooms may feel less plush or have minor comfort issues.
- No pets allowed — The hotel has a strict no-pets policy, which may be inconvenient for travellers with animals.
