Grand Hotel Bucharest
Breakfast had plenty of choice. Room was clean and comfortable. Lobby area was modern and welcoming. Sky bar restaurant food was good but small portions. Service started well but was slow after main course. Pool was cold, steam room not working, sauna was lovely. Gym well equipped.

InterContinental Athénée Palace Bucharest by IHG
Room was clean and well appointed. The painting in the room was kind of scary- particularly in the middle of the night. Staff was very helpful, although staff at breakfast seemed like they wanted to be helpful but didn't know how how. Check in/out was smooth.
