In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Central, hard-to-beat location — Right on Nicolae Balcescu, next to a metro station and University Square, with the old town a 10-minute walk away.
- Rooms with balconies and city views — Most rooms feature a private balcony, and guests on higher floors often get sweeping views over the city.
- Well-regarded dining and service — The restaurant gets praise for its food and wine recommendations, and staff are consistently called friendly and helpful.
- On-site health club with indoor pool — A 22nd-floor wellness area includes an indoor swimming pool, sauna, and fitness centre.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms and cleanliness rated below other aspects — The 7/10 rating for rooms and cleanliness is the lowest category, suggesting some inconsistency in room upkeep despite recent renovations.
- Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight could be turned away unless arranged beforehand.
- Paid airport transfer — The airport shuttle comes at an extra cost, so budget-conscious travellers may prefer public transport.
- Attracts mixed reviews on value — While many praise the price, one guest found it fine only for business travel at €105/night, and the value perception varies.
