Hostel Tripoli — Hotel in Bucharest

I honestly don't understand people who review this place as 1 out of 5. But since I have traveled all over the world and stayed in budget places, I can only guess! Yes, give the place a lower rating because the tram that passes shakes the building, that is definitely a reason to give a lower rating! You get used to it and tune it out. It isn't a deal-breaker IMO. Actually was very pleased with the place. Smaller cozy room with my own bathroom, good AC, a small fridge to keep the water and beer cold (that they sell at the desk) and a TV to nap to! Perfect if you ask me. And not far from the Center. My flight came in early and they let me check in early to nap before my event! After my event, the front desk even helped order pizza for delivery. All in all, I would recommend it for what it is. My only thing is, there is no restaurant really (except for breakfast) and even though it was Romania, I would have loved to try Lebanese food! But I won't reduce my rating because of that. This isn't the 4-Seasons people, it is a hostel and perfect for that! Budget-friendly...

It was just as I expected for what I paid. Small room with comfortable beds and a small, private bathroom. Hot water in the bathroom was nice, and the aircon worked great.

The steps leading up to the 1st and 2nd floor are quite narrow and steep. The floor rug in the room was quite filthy and full of animal hair. The rooms also were not soundproof, and there was a lot of cigarette smoke throughout the building from people smoking all the time.

The WiFi would not work all the time, unfortunately. It would not let me on because of an IP address failure, and once I got on, it would eventually take me off because someone else got my IP address. The hotel needs to restart their WiFi routers to solve this problem, but they told me that I just needed to keep trying to get on.

My wife and I wanted something inexpensive, and we were satisfied with what we got for...

Not Recommended! Staying at this hotel was full of unpleasant surprises. To enter the room, we had to walk through the dining area, kitchen, and even the laundry room—an extremely inconvenient and bizarre setup. No one warned us that access to the upper floor was via a narrow spiral staircase, which made things even more difficult, especially with luggage. The room itself was disappointing: the bedding was dirty, and the walls and doors were so thin that we could hear everything happening around us. Additionally, they only provided two small towels, which was far from sufficient. The overall atmosphere of the hotel felt unsettling—there were a couple of nights when we even felt scared staying in the room. A very negative experience. We will not be returning and definitely do not...
