Hotel Armonia - Bucharest, Romania 

This is a nice hotel 20 minutes walk from the Parliament. Some noice related to the tram running from early morning until late evening. We had to recharge our room key every morning. This was a bit annoying especially because the front desk never gave any information about it. The rooms where big and nice. Cleaning was good, but check if they have put in some spare paper for the toilet. TV with English spoken channels and of course a lot of local ones as well. The breakfast was OK. You can ask for fried egg if you prefer, but do not expect that the waiter will ask you. We had some fun in the bar because the night porter did'nt have any clue about mixing even the simplest drinks. He had to ask us for help, bt did his best. All over I could say that the personel was very helpful and provided us with a good map of the city and a lot of good information. Do not expect that all speak English fluently. I could send my friends to this hotel.

I stayed in Armonia for a week in October. First of all the staff can barely speak English and are very unhelpful. They just keep saying: I don't know and then ignore you completely. And yes, they sleep at the reception area. The rooms are spacious and quite well equipped but very noisy: you can hear your neighbour snoring next door! I'm going to Bucharest soon again and I will surely not stay there again. They say it's a 4* property but they should fight for 1* strongly.
