I stayed here with 2 work colleagues for 2 weeks. We had superior suite/rooms in the newer wing which on paper were a good choice. There was a small minibar fridge, a kettle and coffee mugs, a good sized wardrobe and work desk. The issue with my room, and those of my colleagues was the poor cleanliness and upkeep of the rooms. I left the room at 0745 every day, returning around 1700 and most days I had no room service even though I put the room free sign on the door handle.

Again, this might be the way Romanians like their breakfast. There's no hotel bar, but you can get your after-work beer in the restaurant and enjoy a flashback to 80's East Germany - at least with regards to the level of attentiveness and friendlyness displayed by the waiters. I merely had my beer there to troll them (and enjoy the nice view of the Buzau town hall). Go somewhere else for dinner, but definitely stay at Pietroasa when you're in or near Buzau. I stayed here for three weeks (business) and really enjoyed it despite the...
