Grand Hotel Continental

The best

Nice and small hotel good breakfast,polite pepole and good service ,very classic

Whilst the hotel is aesthetically pleasing and the staff (particularly dining serving staff such as Nicoletta), the function of this hotel is quite poor. We booked a suite (not cheap), yet were given a room on the ground floor that was pretty much overlooked by anyone standing on the street. We did change to the same room on the level above, however that room whilst better still had problems. The curtains are not block out and there is a pharmacy across the road that has a flicking sign _ not good for sleep. The bathrooms are quite small given the size of the room, there is no-where to place toiletries, it is a bath/shower combo (the shower part has been an addition) and you need to reach around a screen to turn the bath on. The water is not hot (warm), and the pressure not great. The basin is actually not a basin but rather a flat pice if porcelain with holes (not good for a male to shave). There was no mirror/vanity in our room , although I think some rooms did have them. There was lots of other furniture that had old world charm. The aircon. was also not that good. The room did have a safe. The hotel has a gym that can be opened by reception at 7am (spa staff don’t arrive until 10am), although it is small. There is no pool. The breakfast was OK, lots of pastry and cake as well as standard breakfast foods. It appeared to us that the hotel catered to group holidays. We are returning to Bucharest and initially intended to rebook this hotel, however have decided against that. Instead we have booked the Marorosch (a Marriott Hotel) which looks amazing.

Great classical hote. Friendly, helpful and proffesional staff.

Great for Bucharest

This hotel is old school grand with gold flourishes and velvet couches. ( How on earth do they keep a white velvet couch spotless??) Our standard room was large and the windows opened for fresh air. Bottled water, reg and sparkling, gifted. Breakfast was fantastic. Meats, fruits, eggs to order, pastries and really cheerful, helpful servers. Perfectly set us up for the day. Location was great. We walked into the old center easily, and just a 10 minute walk to the symphony hall. ( Don't miss a performance there. ) We really enjoyed our stay.

Such a positive welcome in a beautiful hotel with friendly staff and a classical appearance. The VIP package was much better than expected, making us feel quite special. Excellent location with large, comfortable rooms. We had
