Hotel berhampiran Kiseleff Park, Bucharest

When I arrived at Hotel Tranzzit there was absolutely nobody manning the desk. Granted, it was around 11pm, but the website lists no set check-in time limit (just that it begins at 2pm). I waited around 45 mins for someone to show up, and the person who did arrive was not very friendly or communicative. After some back and forth I was told that they had no record of my booking — however I had just received a phone call from them the day before (no message left) so they definitely had my information. The night receptionist showed me the personal information of everyone else staying there to ask if I was staying with those guests, which seemed like a breach of privacy. He asked if I had paid yet, and I said no, but he gave me the keys and let me into the room without paying. Very strange check-in experience. Overall, the room was not bad. Unfortunately I was in the room directly beside reception and you can hear absolutely everything, so I was awoken every day by the phone ringing or people chatting. The daytime receptionists were very friendly although did not speak English, and I made sure to pay for my stay in the morning. My room had one large bed, a closet, a bathroom, a window to an outdoor seating area, and a television — although I never tried the TV as you could hear everything from the lobby and vice versa. No hot water on the first day but the second day was fine. Soap and shower gel is included in the bathroom. No fridge or kettle in the room but there is a kitchen. Breakfast is not included but one coffee per day is allowed if you ask the reception to prepare it. Wi-fi is uncharacteristically spotty for Romania and would connect and disconnect every minute or so. The great thing about this place is not only price but location. You are only around 8 mins from Gara de Nord and there is a laundromat on the way as well. Lots of Mega Image grocery stores nearby and even a nice park. Metro, etc. are all located conveniently. It's very easy to walk to the Old City and the area with the Atheneum. Overall, I didn't hate my stay here. It was a bit awkward and strange but the daytime receptionists were very sweet and feigned being impressed with my almost-non-existent Romanian, hahaha. I would stay here again for one or two nights if I was travelling by train.

The staff was very polite and very friendly. The gym was not as expected. It has very little equipment and nearly all cardio machines were out of order.

Location is very good , for weekends it is the best , always recommend

This hotel is a little tricky. Do not book the regular rooms because they are tired and the beds look soggy and used. They need to do a little bit of work on the interior in the carpets on the outside of the rooms. Only stay in the suites are and above cuz they're great. But the superior room and the regular room are not to my liking and a little depressing. But I would stay this hotel anytime I was in Bucharest but only in the sweets and the studios not in the regular tired looking hotel rooms. One of the major benefits of this hotel/aparte hotel is that it has a fantastic hot tub/ jacuzzi and it is right next door in the gym all you have to do is sign in. I love the hot tub and I love the pool especially in mid-December when everything was freezing. I would stay here anytime I visited Bucharest. The food in the restaurant is okay relatively okay value for the money and service is good. Also the women at the front desk are very helpful and accommodating.

When i got there, I was told I was too early (fair enough, check-in is from 2 pm and i got there around 11.30) I had sort of anticipated this, so thought i would just kill some time at the skybar which supposedly has a great view - but much to my surprise, I was told the skybar was closed, only open for breakfast. Must be the biggest attraction of the hotel, and in their wisdom, they close it! So instead, I took a walk heading towards the parliament building which is preety close by. When i returned a while later, room was now ready but oh by the way, the lift doesnt work! So i now had to carry luggage up the fire exit staircase (room was on 4th floor). Very narrow and poorly lit, so if you have trouble walking - good luck. Just hope you dont meet somebody coming down - passing them will be a challenge :-) Reception said lift would be fixed in a day or two!! So i made it to the room and cannot really decide what to think of it. On the one hand, it was spotlessly clean and looked very new and modern but on the other hand: No coffee / tea, There was a minibar with some wine and soft drinks but no beer,No glasses to be found anywhere (so I guess, just drink the wine from the bottle),WiFi works but not very stable - keeps dropping out. At breakfast, the skybar was now open - 2 people in front of me for the coffee machine which was quite slow - turned out they were not guests - but the breakfast room staff!. When they finally had their coffee they went straigth out onto the open terrasse for a cigarette (very small outdoor terrase and the staff now occupied 1/3 of it) and started chatting quite loudly - so terrasse is just as much for the staff - not the guests only. And really - if staff of any kind of establishment wants to have a loud discussion, do so away from the guests!! Breakfast was very poor - quite frankly pathetic! - some dry toast bread, a little bit of cheese and some slices of what looked like ham/salami - nothing warm like e.g. eggs (of course the staff were busy out on the terrasse smoking and having a loud conversation). Definately not worth any money at all - instead head out for one of the many cafes very close by. The lobby has what looks like a bar, but all they sell is coffee. Big surprise to me when late afternoon after a long walk i came back, asked for a cold beer and was told they didnt have any!! You can have some wine from the minibar, but you cant have a beer anywhere. The day of departure i waited a little in the lobby for my taxi to the airport. Need to use a bathroom?? Too bad - just like the lift, out of order. This would be fixed ”in a day or 2” so clearly not a priority for this place. Wifi, although it did work in the room - no luck in the lobby - could not connect at all. The guy in the lobby was nice enough but most of the time you will find him outside, having a smoke. All in all, extremely dissapointed with this place. Wish i had gone back to Hello Hotel instead - breakfast much much better, you can

This is a 3 star hotel which somehow fluked a 4 star rating. I stayed in two other hotels in Romania rated as 3-star and both were much better quality (and cheaper). Despite picking the most expensive room, there were numerous minor deficiencies. The window was tiny (notice how it’s carefully excluded from the photographs) and looked straight onto a decaying concrete wall, offering quite the most dismal outlook I can recall in many years of visiting hotels. This was not improved by the poor room lighting, nor by the failure of the window to close properly. The bathroom had hopelessly inadequate space to put toiletries. The reading light was supposed to be adjustable but always sprang back to its favourite position. The stairway lights didn’t work properly, making them dangerous to descend. The bed was uncomfortable. The breakfast croissants were stale. The breakfast staff, however, deserve credit. They were friendly and helpful. The location is also good.

Really nice staff especially front desk and morning breakfast. However facilities could do with some upgrading especially the carpets (fully flat) and the aircon. We were there during really hot summer and it took a long while (like hours) before the temperature could come down to a reasonable cool level/

Sono arrivata giorno 4/12/2022 in hotel e la stanza presentava dei peli e della sporcizia generale, ho tralasciato ciò… Il giorno dopo nessuno mi ha pulito la stanza tuttavia sono entrate le signorina della pulizia a buttare la “spazzatura”, hanno buttato un box di scarpe appena comprate che erano necessarie per la vendita. Il giorno seguente ho esplicitamente chiesto di pulire la stanza, ma hanno cambiato solo le lenzuola senza cambiarmi gli asciugamani, che ho dovuto richiedere più e più volte. Il penultimo giorno sono entrate in stanza di nuovo per le pulizie le quali non hanno assolutamente pulito o ordinato i letti o la stanza ma hanno RUBATO una borsa, io in buona fede ho pensato che l’avessero buttata, essendo caduta per terra, sono andata alla reception dove mi hanno detto che loro non hanno visto nessuna borsa. Sono veramente sconvolta, è altamente grave che vengano a rubare nelle stanze. Se ci fosse stata dentro la carta d’identità sarebbe stato un enorme disagio per me, trovandomi in un paese che non conosco e dovendo tornare in italia. La colazione è rumena, senza possibilità di dolci o di cornetti, senza poter bere un cappuccino o un caffè, ma solo un caffè annacquato dentro il bollitore del tè. Mi hanno fatto pagare 20€ per degli asciugamani sporchi, come se li avessi dovuti pulire io! Il personale non è scortese ma non ho belle parole per descriverli, data la mia rabbia, sono veramente delusa, dato che le recensioni non erano male. SCONSIGLIATO

During my recent travels, I came across the best place to stay. It's luxurious yet surprisingly affordable. I highly recommend this hidden gem for anyone looking to enjoy high-end accommodations without breaking the bank. The staff are incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of your stay is enjoyable. I encourage you to give it a try and experience the excellent service for yourself. It's truly a fantastic find

В целом хороший отель, понравилось, что есть трансфер из/в аэропорт. Удобно для подачи документов на визу США (рядом). Но в центр города далекова-то (утром пробки в эту сторону)...
