Phoenicia Grand Hotel — Hotel in Bucharest

EN One of the best stays. We stayed in a junior suite deluxe (room 439),a gorgeous, spacious and luxurious room of 45 square meters (as described on the presentation), we had a box of chocolate candies, a bottle of champagne, coffee, tea and water on the house. The room has a jacuzzi bathtub (in the room) which creates a romantic atmosphere and an artificial fireplace that imitates very well a real one. Very nice and elegant furniture. A huge dressing with a very useful mirror on it. Free bath items and also for personal use, slippers and bathrobes as well. The bathroom is very spacious with a walk-in shower, they also have a telephone in the bathroom. For dinner I highly recommend the Zarada restaurant not only for the good food and prices but also for the very best staff. The breakfast is one of the best I have ever had.

This is a great place to have an event or conference, and, potentially, also a great place to stay overnight. Can't measure up why they have a broken grand piano in the lobby, with some sort of flower arrangement inside it. While some might find this artistic, my heart weeps next to any mistreated musical instrument, though, to be fair, I discriminate against non-acoustics. There's something to any type of acoustic that comes to life and having that liveliness sucked away and replaced with some sort of floral arrangements may be poetic to some, but it leaves me distressed and suffering in ways I'm never really care to admit outside the context of this review few people will read.

The staff and services are excellent, and I would recommend this place for your next event, provided that this is what you're into. I'd love to have more to stay, but that piano thing left me pretty much wandering about elsewhere in my mind, incapable of congregating adequate thoughts about a mostly adequate place. Enjoy!

Later edit!

Just received a reply to my review, and would like to clarify that the piano in itself is not an objective issue, you should certainly give this place a try next time you want to visit/stay/organize...

I used the hotel during a business trip, but it was definitely not suited for this purpose. The overal layout is a mixture of oriental and modern styles I would describe as kitch. The room was indeed big and rather clean, there was free water and a boiler with some tea and instant coffee. However there was no proper workspace in order to be able to sit at a table and work on a computer. The only chair with a backrest was made out of cheap materials beneath the velvet-ishy cover so it was like sitting of unfinished wood. I had to put a pillow on it in order to be able to write some e-mails. In the bathroom the fittings were in not so good shape, the matress was soft and for people with back pains definitely a challenge to sleep on. I rated the experience 3 stars mainly because the staff is quite nice and polite although definitely overworked. I dined in the hotel restaurant, where there was also a quite large private gathering and the waiters were clearly head over heals both with the party and individual guests, as myself. Nevertheless I received a decent table, advice on the menu and the food came rapidly and was really tasty. I would not consider returning for...
