Hotel berhampiran Victorian Rose di Bucharest

Is a good vibe, Close to public transport, accommodation is not bad but is room for improvements, food and drinks are what you expect , price wise decent, service is perfect and thanks to Laurentiu for amazing service and food recommendations. Top service! Overall more than decent!

THE GOOD POINTS The hotel is beautifully appointed with a lovely reception and atrium and breakfast/terrace areas. The reception staff are all very nice and helpful (esp Christian Savu who really helped when my mum was sick and needed an ambulance to see a doctor in hospital). Cleaning and breakfast staff also very nice. The Dorobanti location is great. Impeccably clean. Good breakfast (but need proper fresh milk - in particular, decent size mugs/teapots - they had nothing when I asked, and at this point we were pretty much the only guest in the hotel!). POINTS FOR IMPROVEMENT YES! On three counts - the heating, the plumbing and worst of all, the hotel management. Unfortunately I CANNOT recommend anyone stays here after no sleep for 5 out of 7 nights we stayed - they simply do not care about their guests' wellbeing, sleep, enjoyment and experience. To take each point in turn.... The heating was oppressive - on to the max everywhere at all times and was not changeable. We could not cool our rooms. Had to switch the system off totally, and open the windows but it made little difference. It was stifling, sweaty and really unpleasant, especially when ill with a temp and gastro virus. Poor plumbing - constantly blocked sinks, poor water pressure, shower cuts out, dangerous water temperature spikes caused scalding. I took my elderly mum to visit my sister and her family of 5 for Christmas - her first time in 7yrs to see them in Bucharest and also will be mum's last ever trip overseas due to deteriorating health. It was therefore a big deal.... Sadly, all 7 of our family were in turn struck down by a gastric virus. I was in bed for 2 days sick myself. Mum was the last of us to get ill overnight as we were due to fly home and I had to extend the stay another 2 nights as she was too sick to travel. That same night from which she awoke ill, I had had to go down to reception at 0119hrs in my dressing gown due to two male guests in a room on the same floor directly across the atrium from ours. They were smoking out the window, had all their lights and TV blaring, were clearly drunk and up to ”all sorts”, laughing/shouting/jeering and generally behaving like animals. The receptionist said that they'd be charged for smoking in the room and that other guests had also complained. He said they'd get security to remove them if it continued (I now realise this was empty words to pacify). Thankfully the guys went out on the town whilst I was talking to reception. The next day a different receptionist confirmed there'd been many other complaints and these guys had put a sock over the smoke alarm and had actually trashed their room. He was very unimpressed. I asked had they been evicted from the hotel and he said no - the management only said to charge them for smoking?! He said they were staying another night. By this point I was deep in trying to also arrange medical attention for my now sick 81yr old mother and delay our return travel. He gave

Bus 783 (cost 6 RON) from the airport to Piata Victoriei & then a 5 or 6 mins walk to the hotel. A quick & friendly check in by Daniel who, with my room key card in hand, also showed me to my 3rd floor room. A nice sized room & even though I was travelling solo it was easily spacious enough for 2 people. Clean with a walnut laminate floor, luggage rack, large wardrobe, safe, extra towels, coat rack/hooks, work desk, tv, 2 armchairs, coffee table, fridge, double bed, smoke alarm, radiator, aircon & 3 spare electrical sockets. A small window & a door & panel (to nowhere, no balcony) meant an abundance of natural light, blackout curtains kept the room dark in the morning. No issues with noise from outside or inside the hotel. There was no kettle, tea or coffee in the room. There was no iron in the room but when I inquired at reception, I was given one & an ironing board immediately. Wi-Fi was password protected, quick to connect to, consistent with fast speeds & auto reconnected instantly. My bathroom was a nice size, clean with tiled floor & walls, bidet, towel radiator, hairdryer, mirror, 2 small bottles of shampoo, wall fan/vent, towels, basin & unit, shower cubicle with shower head & hose on a riser rail, easily controlled shower valve with plenty of hot water & very good water pressure. I went down for breakfast (07:30 – 10:00) at 09:10 & it was quiet. Table service only, ordered from the menu with fried eggs, omelettes, salami, yoghurt, cheese, toast, bread, jam, butter, melted cheese, sliced tomatoes, tea, coffee, orange juice, water & milk. The bar was very quiet & far from expensive with Ursus Romanian lager costing just RON5.00 for a 330mls bottle. I had a great conversation there about Romanian history with David who spoke fantastic English & who covered the reception, the bar & breakfast. The hotel has one lift & there is a shoe buffing/shining machine in the foyer. There is very little in the way of restaurants, bars, cafes, shops etc in the immediate vicinity of the hotel but the close by Calea Victoriei has a multitude of all of those. No more than 10 mins walk from the hotel on Calea Victoriei I found a great courtyard bar & bistro called Green Hours. Great staff & a chilled out atmosphere with 500mls tankards of draft Ursus lager costing RON12.00. It took me 25 mins to walk from the hotel & down Calea Victoriei to the old town, stopping several times on the way to take photos. Gare Du Nord station is the first stop from the nearest metro to the hotel. As I had loads of time & the weather was nice & dry, I walked to Gare Du Nord & that took me 20 mins & it was an easy straight forward walk. I must add that all of the locals that I asked for directions were more than helpful, friendly & generous with their time as language difficulties did occur often.

The breakfast was included and was good enough and well stocked. The attached health club has a separate charge of 7 Euros per day- which can add up. There is not a lot within walking distance of the hotel..aside from Hard Rock Cafe and a few other replaces. So plan on using Uber to go most places. Rooms and service were good. Gift shop seems to have sporadic hours and not the ones listed.

Чисто уютно комфорто

Ήταν μια υπέροχη διαμονή στο Ξενοδοχείο RAMADA PLAZA και ευελπιστούμε να το ξαναεπισκεφτούμε. Η εξυπηρέτηση από όλο το προσωπικό ήταν άψογη, οι εγκαταστάσεις με όλες τις τεχνολογίες και καθαρές. Το πρωϊνό ήταν πλούσιο με αρκετή ποικιλία επιλογών. Χρησιμοποιήσαμε το γυμναστήριο και το Vitality club για μασαζ, steam bath και σάουνα τα οποία απολαύσαμε. Ξεχωριστή νότα επίσης έδωσαν στις διακοπές μας και οι δύο μεγάλες πισίνες όπου περάσαμε αρκετές ώρες χαλάρωσης.

My stay at this hotel was extremely disruptive I arrived at Hotel Venezia to be told they didn't have a room for me and I was told I needed to go to their partner hotel Hotel Centro, I had been traveling all day and no transportation was offered to this hotel. I was not given any advance warning of this I was only told this change on arrival. When arriving at Hotel Centro they also had issues finding a room for me. I felt like this service was completely unprofessional. When I eas eventually given a room, my room was very loud, I was kept up all night as my room was beside the lift and people were arriving back to the hotel very late. Further whilst whilst taking a nap two people walked into my room, they had been given a keycard and told this was their room. They walked in whilst I was sleeping and I felt like my privacy was completely violated. My key card stopped working several times, and eventually I was without a card to get into my room. I am extremely disappointed as this is was not the quality of service I thought i was paying for, moreover this was not the hotel I paid to stayed in. I would have expected to be refunded for this but no compensation was provided to me.

Le camere piccole e senza phon; ma nel complesso ben tenute e pulite. Il personale cortese e sempre a disposizione, tanto è vero che quando non riuscivamo a capirci cercavano qualcuno che sapesse bene l'inglese.

We had a very enjoyable stay here and our first time in Romania, the hotel is well placed and so many places to visit nearby. The food and service was excellent, the only minor faults for not giving five stars was the room was far to hot and not controlled well with the AC unit, so dread to think what it would be like in the summer months? The room service and bar shut far to early, so if you want to eat or drink later in the evening do it before coming back to the hotel. The staff were amazing, but keep hold of your plates at breakfast or they will be zoomed away!!

Athina Suites Hotel是一家令人印象深刻的住宿選擇。它位於優越的位置，不過它其實是在Bucharest 市內的，而不是在海邊。酒店內部裝修精美，有一房一廳，客房寬敞舒適，並配有現代化的設施。工作人員友善而專業，提供出色的服務。此外，酒店樓下的Bar and Restaurant也令人滿意。總之，Athina Suites Hotel是一個完美的度假選擇，給您留下難忘的回憶。
