Hotel Carpati

Bucharest isn't well served at this level of the market, while there are many high-end hotels, independent travellers might end up choosing between self-catering apartments and hostels, so Hotel Carpati is a good find. It has the feel of a family business, and the whole staff recognise guests from soon after check-in.

Despite the brilliant central location, the hotel is in a small street with nothing picturesque beside it, so don't expect a view. Bucharest is gradually improving its appearance, but only slowly. However, get out there, and you'll find major streets, squares parks and sites a short walk away.

Welcoming staff and decor and has wifi mostly available. The hotel is close walking distance to most places of historical and cultural interest. The neighbourhood is an interesting mix of one ultra modern building, several elegant old buildings in need of maintenance, a charming park with pond, monuments, churches, art gallery, theatre, restaurants.

The hotel have lift.

The room's price was 31 euro, but we didn't have 1 euro, therefore we would pay by 50 euro, but the hotel's front wouldn't receive. Finally we should pay by lei. Room's key was too old. There wasn't hot water in the common shower room.

Staff were very helpful and friendly; good position.
