Radisson BLU Bucharest
Staff is good, room is clean but heater is not working. I told to reception, nobody dealt with it. Sometimes, there was a drain smell which was terrible.

Great location particularly if you're travelling anywhere by train from the gara de nord station which is only a 5 or so minute walk away. Teodor was very polite and a great help to me.

InterContinental Athénée Palace Bucharest by IHG
A fabulous hotel which felt worlds away from all the sights visited during the day - a luxury to return back to each day with the added bonus of a fab little pool and spa (loungers/ chairs are limited so go when quiet)
