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 ...

RIN Airport
Property was clean, well-maintained and near the airport. The spa / pool was an extra charge (not specified in the Expedia property listing) and I was told there isn't actually an area shuttle. But the airport shuttle was on time and convenient.
