This is a good option for those on a limited budget who want reasonably easy access to the centre of Bucharest. It is situated to the north of the city centre, a couple of Km. from the Old Town district. It is just a short walk from the Stefan cel Mare Metro station and also the tram system than runs along the main road from Piata Victoriei.||Graffiti is a medium sized commercial hotel in a quiet side street. It is showing its age a little – the carpets on the upper floors are badly worn in places and some of the electrical wiring runs within crudely cut and mounted plastic trunking but it all seems safe enough. Access to the upper floors is by a narrow staircase – there is no lift. The ground floor reception/dining area has two distinct sections – the inner area, the walls of which are covered with framed paintings, and the outer is an enclosed patio with glass panels which are slid open in fine weather. Upstairs, the room I occupied had two narrow single beds which were adequately comfortable. It offered a fridge, a safe, flat-screen TV and sufficient storage space. The bathroom was clean and well maintained by the housekeepers, the shower and sink served by liquid soap dispensers and there was always sufficient hot water.||One aspect of my stay worth a particular mention is breakfast. Rather than set up a buffet in the morning, guests are served with an individual platter of continental meal options – meats, cheeses, garnishes, bagels, yoghurt, coffee and fresh orange juice – it was one of the real pleasures of the day and I compliment the...
Read moreA budget 3 star hotel. The hotel is centrally located within walking distance from the old city and with a good number of restaurants and take-aways. The room was spacious and clean and the mattress was very comfortable. Unfortunately the air-conditioning systems wasn't working so good and the mini-bar's temperature was not cold enough. The lighting in the corridor was dim and the led running lights up the stairs were not working. Also the hotel doesn't have any lift, meaning that you had to carry your heavy luggage up.||||The staff was OK, however not very hard working. The tables outside where always dirty with left overs and dead insects on them from the night before. The internet at our level was not working properly for a couple of days. On the second level you could the see that the wifi router was hanging down on its own cables - e soar sight.||||Breakfast was decent...
Read moreI needed a hotel within walking distance to the city center and this place was absolutely spot on. It was much cheaper than other centrally located hotels, and upon arrival the staff were very friendly and welcoming.They all spoke English :)||The room itself was large, inclusive of a flat screen TV with some English channels, with a large bed, a fridge, a desk and a fully equipped bathroom with a new shower.||The only negative experience I had was that the hotel was constantly very hot throughout, I woke in the middle of the night needing to drink water. ||The on-site restaurant was very good, the breakfast and main meals were much cheaper than restaurants in the surrounding area. Yes, the bed was a foam mattress and the decor/carpet needs updating but it was not a bad experience.||Food wise I recommend the kebab shop opposite Dynamo Bucharest, around the corner. Great...
