great hotel, bad servicePosted: Fri, Jul 11 2008The hotel was very nice with clean rooms, baths and a great breakfast. However, we found the service to be poor for the following reasons:
- no smiles at the front desk and they made mistakes in terms of our reservations;
- we stopped our car in front of the hotel and my wife and I had to bring all our 3 suitcases in the lobby while 3 guys (employees) were looking at us;
- we asked one employee to take a picture of us and our Romanian friends in front of the hotel and he flatly refused us - that was not his job...I wonder what his job was because he was just standing in front of the hotel entrance doing nothing;
- parking is the most expensive one in Bucharest. You can't get free parking as a guest and you can't buy a permit for 2-3 days - every time you drive out of the parking lot, you pay by the hour. If you make 2-3 trips, it represents a lot more than if you paid by the day.
Again, the hotel is nice, but those little things really bothred me. No repeat for us.
