Bucharest CEC Palace Hotels

"Great location, nesr Old Town and University Square. No telephone in room, which is bad for people without one or without an international plan to make free foreign calls. Robert said it was a minimalist hotel, yet they had games on the side, a meeting room and free lockers. plus an active bar, so why no telephone? TV did have CNN. I left my bags in the unlocked meeting room for a full day, as I had a late bus ride to Sofia. They should provide a locked luggage room."

"overall, good value for money. water pressure a bit low tv wasn't working properly in bedroom , kept turning off by itself"

"While the building is certainly dated, the location is close to Central Budapest and Old Town, making it easy to explore on foot or by an inexpensive Bolt ride. The attentive staff made the stay, though. From the moment I arrived, Daniel made me feel welcome, assisting with luggage, providing directions to local stores and restaurants, and serving breakfast in the mornings. The cook, housekeeper, and night staff were equally impressive. When I departed, the night manager even accompanied me to wait on my airport ride at the road, since it was about 3:15 in the morning, after providing a very early breakfast."

"This is an excellent and beautiful hotel, located in a nice part of Bucharest. It's close enough to the Old Town that you can easily access all of the cool things there, but it's separate enough to be calm and quiet. It's right across the street from both the new Romanian National Cathedral and the old Palace of the Parliament, two places worth visiting. Our room was spacious and had a nice view of the city. The phone had an "at your service" button which could be used for any requests and which we really appreciated. We requested chocolate covered strawberries be delivered to the room every day at 10 am, and they arrived every day right on time and were delicious. The hotel is large and has several restaurants. We enjoyed the Italian restaurant, the Steak House and the Sports Bar the most. The Sports Bar has a pool table, dart boards, ping pong and foosball, all of which were great. The hotel spa is excellent and was a highlight of our stay. Our only complaint is that the television in the room was unable to connect to the internet or to our phones, despite the television screen itself saying that both things were possible. The hotel later confirmed that the television completely lacked internet connectivity. A more modern television would be appreciated and expected in 2026. Overall, this is an awesome hotel and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bucharest."

"Situated in the Old Town, near many bars and restaurants. Beautiful hotel, good breakfast. Lovely staff. Would highly recommend."

"Perfect for a night. Just the basics/no frills. Clean, super friendly staff, many TV channels in English, good wi-fi, comfy enough bed, and minutes from the train station. "

"Room layout is strange. Toilet toom has no sink, need to go around to the shower room. Closet is extremely narrow."

"Everything was very good. The food at the bar was excellent and so was the service Friday and saturday between 7 to 9 pm. The breakfast was huge; there was a lot of choice. The room was clean but very far from the elevator and noisy since it was on the 2nd floor directly on the street."

"Excellent 3 night stay. Really clean hotel with a quirky style. Restaurant attached was very good for one of the evening meals. Rooms cleaned everyday. Would stay again."
