Holiday Inn Bucharest - Times, an IHG Hotel

I like this hotel, it was the second time I stayed there. The location suited me, as I had to be in the area for family reasons. It's not really right in the centre but it has metro and bus stations next to it. There are shops, pharmacies, cafes and restaurants close by. The rooms are very clean, well equipped with kettle, coffee maker (capsules) and minibar. The bed is very comfortable. The reception staff was friendly and helpful.

I did not like the light from the AC (when it's on) and from the room phone. Also, I could not sleep very well with the AC on as it's a bit too noisy for me but that's not really specific only to this hotel :-)

Good room size, very well cleaned and nice ordered. Near location there are a lot of transportation possibilities: Metro, tram, bus ... Huge (payed - at a very fare price) parking place right beneath (S1 and S2) the Hotel area and the boulevard. Good breakfast but at the charged price it would have to offer something more to eat in my opinion.

Mini bar was not complete and also contained fake bottle of whiskey. I stated that we did not used the minibar at all but I was still charged (which I was afraid due to missing mini bar stuff) after the checkout and leaving the hotel for some ... unknown reason.

The Holiday Inn Time Bucharest is a new and very comfortable hotel, it is lovely and modern and the bar, restaurant and Asian Fusion restaurant are all good to spend time in. We were incredibly impressed with the Asian Fusion restaurant, the setting is perfect with an open roof and windows that look out onto the boulevard, the menu and food was exceptional and Flori the lady who looked after us did a fabulous job. The 104 bus runs into Bucharest centre every 10 minutes and is the pick up area at the top of the blvd and a 2 min walk from the hotel, the Metro is less than a 5 minute walk away from the hotel and just over the road from the bus stop.

- The room was cleaned perfectly - Very good breakfast - Free parking - Proximity of bus, tram and metro stations - TV with YouTube - Nice cosmetics for shower - Even though the building is not new, most things in the hotel look new (I understand that it was refurbished)

Not much to include here, but if I have to: - There was no overhead shower/rain shower system - There could be more storage space, e.g. more shelves in the wardrobe (the wardrobe size itself was fine) - If I remember correctly, there were no bathrobes - Reception desk and breakfast staff could be more friendly, but I would not generalise, as I have 2-3 people in mind (on the other hand the lady from the housekeeping staff was very friendly)

Everything. Plus good air conditioning. It was 41 degrees outside. We wouldn't have survived without the air conditioner. The rooms were wide, super clean and comfortable. Nothing was missing in the rooms. We had also a super full mini bar with drinks and snacks, which was lovely, as in this heat outside, we did not want to go out for each drink and snack.

It would have been better, if the windows had possibility for wide opening.

The hotel is well-maintained, the staff is very nice. The room I stayed in was big, clean and had nice added features such as a safe and iron. The gym is fine (mainly cardio) and there is a sauna. The location was good for my (work) purpose, also a bank and supermarket nearby. The breakfast is OK (although not remarkable). I would recommend this hotel for work purposes.

Rooms on the front side of the hotel oversee a fairly busy street and the windows are not sound proof. Of course it is quieter in the evening, but if you are a light sleeper this might still be an issue. Pay attention that if you don't specifically indicate it, they won't clean your room/make your bed. Keep in mind that the location is not really within decent walking distance of landmarks you might want to visit.

- new modern hotel - best value for money, worth it - restaurant has not so much options in menu but each meal was superb (except pizza) - bussinness lounge with working space - staff was very polite and profesional, worth 4 stars. - locality is very good, nice boulevard - warsteiner beer

- taxi call on reception should use premium or black cab, because they call You that horrible dirty yellow logan which charges You 2 times more than premium limousine taxi - no more negatives, all hotel proccess work smoothly and with care of customers.

Great food offered for breakfast and quality rooms to have a good rest. Very good hotel location near downtown center. Friendly hotel staff, special thanks to receptionist mr. Catalin who professionally organized everything for me according my needs.

have no any objections

Excellent location, close to Arena National(concert,events) and convenient with transport to the city centre. Big,clean rooms, large beds. Underground paid parking, 24 hours. Restaurant is modern,with good meals and service.

Centrally located with a lot of dining and entertainment options just minutes away. The tram line is right opposite the hotel, so getting around most of Bucharest is quite easy. The staff are well trained and efficient with their work. Quite friendly and cheerful all the time.
