The rooms were not clean Parking was charged even though there was no charge on the reservation. Service was not satisfactory. We slept one night and left

Located about a 20 min walk from the old town, and very easy to find. Very close to a metro station so can easily get to the Parliament building (which is probably a bit too far for most to walk to)

Great location and the rooms are quite big. Everything is very clean and quiet.

Nice hotel

Very clean

מלון טוב עם שירות מעולה

מלון 4 כוכבים : דברים שליליים : * חדרים מעט מיושנים ללא נוף * ארוחת הבוקר זהה בכל יום * דורש הליכה של עשרים וחמש דקות לעיר העתיקה * החדר כושר מאכזב - וההליכון לא תקין דברים חיוביים : * שירות ברמה גבוהה מאוד!! כל בקשה לעזרה טופלה מיידית. * מחיר המלון זול מאוד ומי שגם ככה מטייל אין לו צורך יותר מזה * הספא שם ממש טוב ובמיוחד המסאג'ים ברמה גבוהה מאוד והמחיר מעולה * בסך הכל המיקום הוא לא ככ נורא - יש מטרו ממש קרוב * בסך הכל לסיכום- מלון טוב עם שירות מעולה ולא נתקלנו בשום בעיה

good location but needs more variety in restaurant

Hotel Minerva was very typical of Bucharest itself - a mixture of modern and the 70s, but with a very friendly approach. Did not eat in hotel, as main restaurant was Chinese!. Great if you like Chinese food - but not for every night. Breakfast was OK, but quality could be better. Great location, most attractions within walking distance. Friendly staff. In summary, will stay there again when in Bucharest. WiFi excellent

Good value for money

Good location and basic breakfast. You get what you pay for. Easy to walk to the Old Town. I

Great price, great location, wonderful staff, clean, good food

For the price especially for a tourist constantly on the move...it is a good deal.

try another hoter

the hotel not good.the room is very old

Great place !

Marius, Alex and Christina all showed superior customer service !

Nice hotel slightly old and dated. It served its purpose close to downtown on the main road between airport and the heart of the city. Good warm breakfast.

Overall a very nice stay

This hotel is located in a wonderful area with retail restaurants and mansions housing the worlds embassies. In this hotel is a very good Asian restaurant which also has very good service. The lobby is comfortable for any kind of meeting and there is also a bar in the lobby. They do have a exercise room which is mediocre. The rooms are clean bed was fairly comfortable and the bathrooms are up to date. I would stay here again on a return trip.

Serve very good breakfast, good location, professional staff, room is smaller than expected though

Well located for exploring Bucharest

With just a 5 minute walk to the Metro this hotel is well placed to explore most of the key attractions in Bucharest. The Old Town is about a 20 minute walk away.

Great location. Near liberty square, metro, embassies.

Polite freindly staff happy to help

nice hotel

Good location near Piazza Romana

I was greeted by the recepcionist saying he could not find my reservation...I had reserved 3 nights before with the same company that sold me the flight tickets....Cheaptickets...and Expedia...he could not check his computer for reservations?...after. calling his manager ...he said he found the reservation...I had reserved a superior room with king size bed...with. breakfast.. He gave me keys to a low floor small standard room...I complained and after some arguing assigned me another better larger room...but the promised superior room with king size bed did not come through. The next day they refused to give me breakfast as was my reservation promised through the Expedia link...

Bucharest hotel stay

The front desk was very helpful getting us a needed extension cord for a medical device, getting taxis, making recommendations on where to go & how to get there. The location is walkable to The Old City, museums & the People's Palace. The breakfast buffet was good- although the earlier you got there the better the choices. Our room was good sized & the bed was comfortable. The downside was the half glassed in tub with shower that flooded the bathroom when taking a shower & that there was only 1 bath towel & no soap.

If booking with expedia, call first!

When we arrived at reception, the clerk said that they did not have our reservation on file. They still gave us a room for the night, and I'm not sure if that room is representative of all the rooms in the hotel, but it was strange. It was a suite with one water closet and one bathroom. The bathroom was odd -- a bathtub with a shower hose, but without a proper curtain. The bed was somewhat comfortable, but the comforter was no thicker than a sheet. There was a really old television set in the room that we didn't even use since we were exhausted. When we went to check out, the clerk was really helpful and returned our deposit. Apparently expedia has a communication problem with this hotel (or vice versa). I would recommend calling the hotel after booking if you're planning to stay here.

Minerva Hotel

Good clean hotel, friendly and helpful staff. Good location for walking to Historic Areas & Museums. Would use again.

Poor Expedia service

Arrived and they had never received my Expedia booking. They were kind enough to give me a room at the booked rate and even upgrade me. Well done Minerva, bad job Expedia.

review

excellent hotel and best location

To my satisfaction

This is my second stay within 2 years at this hotel and the experience is fully to my expectations. I prefer this hotel due to its location, the staff is always friendly, the restaurant is convenient and offers food to my satisfaction. All in all a good choice for me.

Spa not available.

Very nice staff very old furniture from 30 years ago needs some investment clean

Minerva Bucharest - great place to visit....

Minerva is a good hotel, with good location, neat rooms, good breakfast, nice Chinese restaurant for dinner.

Great stay

Good location, excellently maintained. Good for short business stays. Free wifi. Good gym.

THE RESERVATION THAT I MADE DOEN'T SPECIFY IF IS FOR 3 OR 4 STARS. I HAD TO PAY A DIFFERENCE TO STAY IN 4 STARS BECAUSE 3 STARTS WAS UNACCEPTABLE.

Rates itself as 4* but is really a 3*

Apart from the excellent staff - Dora, Ovid, Luca the hotel is a tad disappointing - my shower didn't work and the free internet worked only intermittently. It's reasonable value though and has a Chinese resataurant attached which too was 'ok' So if you want a centrally located, not too pricey hotel this is it. Apart from the staff the hotel itself doesn't have that much else to recommend it.

Good location, easy conection from/to airport.

All in all everything OK, just couple negative things: showerhose holder was broken, showersink partially blocked, WI-Fi in the room was very poor quality. Receptionist promissed to fix it but never did.

Convenient Location

The Hotel was centrally located, only five minutes walks to nearest shopping areas. Hotel staff were very cooperative. The rates for the room were also cheaper than similar category hotels.

Old man in breakfast room KGB?

The hotel is located in a very nice area where most of the world embassy’s are located so it is mostly quite. My wife is Romanian and she use to live near by. The MGR at the front desk was helpful as well as the other staff and cleaning ladies. THE PROBLEM WAS DURING BREAKFAST. The old man who worked there just watched you taking food like he worked for the KGB or CIA. Was he counting the rolls? There was only 2-3 hot cocoa packs, why the limit? When I asked him for another one, he regrettably gave me another one and said it was the last. The breakfast is a buffet so why the limit? Plus every morning there was so much smoking from the other guests we could never enjoy our food or eat it all, so we had to bring it back up to the room each morning. No matter where you were sitting you smelled & had SMOKE in your face. Why a hotel would not have one side non-smoking is clueless to me. But why smoke when you eat anyway. I also found the music they played during breakfast so obnoxious and unpleasant (1950’s & 1960's blues) as they played the same old boring, depressing, irritating CD over and over again every morning, so I burned them a jazz CD of more relaxing focus on eating music and then after 5 nights we left to another place as we couldn't take it anymore.

I stayed about two weeks and it was very comfortable.

Very good, but has that smoky smell

Very good hotel, staff were very good, rooms well sized. Did have a smoky smell and if you like cool rooms to sleep in you may ave a problem.

Presteza e educação dos funcionários aliada a uma alta dose de simpatia.

Suelo ir a este hotel porque voy por trabajo y me viene bien la zona. El hotel no está mal. Es recomendable pero no es nada del otro mundo. Algo negativo para mi es la moqueta. El desayuno es mejorable. No es comparable con un 4* español

ci ritornerei

buona posizione due ascensori troppo piccole per la capienza dell'albergo. colazione buona prezzo giusto

dejligt hotel tæt på alt i centrum , sød personale og super morgenmad

Nice hotel for business or holiday staying

Good location near the old city 15 min and long walking. Free Parking available. Easy to exit from the city center.

nice hotel, but center not on walking distance

Hotel is completely okay, good pizzerria 1 block away. Rooms are nice, but there was a party and some guest arrived late after midnight, 2 o’clock, in their room next door and were clearly drunk. but looked like an incident, because no street or citynoise

goog value,free wifi

good 4* city hotel, clean, helpfull staff. good wifi, good value

Mediocre

I didn't get tea, sugar nor bottled water in my room. Bathroom lacks electric socket. Area is noisy and windows are worn thus they fail to cut the noise off. Also no proper orange juice during breakfast. The staff was polite enough but unfriendly and formal, therefore I didn't ask for anything. Other then that it was OK.

Normální hotel

Okna některých pokojích zasroubovana - nelze vetrat. Snídaně není bohatá ale celkově ok. Sauna nizka teplota asi fungue jen jedna spirala. Vířivka byla mimo provoz
