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

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.

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.

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.

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.
