Atrium Hotel Ateneu City Center

This was my second one-week stay in Atrium Hotel Ateneu over the past two months (July/August). Here's what I liked that made me a repeat customer: 1. Perfect Location. Great location in the Amezi neighborhood within short walking distance to Calea Victoriei and Bulevardul Magheru. Within this neighborhood, and at your fingertips, there are multiple restaurants, cafes, pharmacies, two grocery stores (Mega Image), coffee shops, pizza and gyro takeouts, and two Lebanese food restaurants. Right up the street, thee are three excellent ice cream/gelato outlets: Sweetology, Velocita and Gelateria Romero. Also, there is an excellent (and low price!) patisserie take-out right outside the main entrance, and the closest subway station Piata Romana is a short walk up the street. Can't beat this location! 2. Great Staff. The staff are friendly, helpful and laid back, giving this property a relaxed and homey atmosphere. Theodor, Flori and Raluca all did great jobs checking in/out, answering questions and giving recommendations. Special thanks to Flori for her multiple recommendstions of non-touristy places to check out! 3. Breakfast. Not overly elaborate, but a good variety of choices at a very reasonable price. 4. Coffee/tea hot water kettle in room. Perfect for frequent coffee/tea drinkers and much better than othet hotel-provided coffee makers, which frequently don't even work correctly. 5. Good Value for Price. Overall, I recommend Atrium/Ateneu for its excellent location, good value and friendly/helpful staff. I will book here again when visiting Bucharest.

Comfortable rooms with all the amenities you need for your stay. The location is amazing!!! I selected this one as this is very close to the Atheneum and I am not disappointed. The building has that old world charm and it is just beautiful to look at. The staff are amazing and helpful, and it is very close to shops, cafes, restaurants, and groceries! Will definitely be back again!

I stayed here for a two day visit to Bucharest. The hotel was a short walk from the airport bus stop and about a 20 minute walk to the old town. The room was very large and comfortable although a little dated. The bathroom was large and had a shower over the bath. This had good flow and plenty of hot water. The breakfast was quite varied although there were no fresh fruit juices - only bottled "drinks". This was a good base for a short break and was good value for money.

Liked: 1. Excellent location in Amezi neighborhood. Close to shops, restaurants, metro station and Calea Victoriei. 2. Water kettle in room to make coffee/tea. 3. Comfortsble bed. 4. Friendly and helpful staff. 5. Good breakfast. 6. Large room. 7. Comfy and old world atmosphere. 8. Good value! 9. Laundry service if needed. 10. In-room safe.

I was really pleased by my stay here. Everything matched or exceeded the description given, (it would be clarifying in the description that the "room without view" does have windows, but around a well, rather than being entirely enclosed. Staff were friendly and efficient, facilities very good for the price, the included breakfast likewise, and the neighbourhood the hotel is in was unexpectedly great - not overrun by tourists, but still relatively central, near a metro stop, and with (at least) two really decent, reasonably priced eating places almost opposite. I would happily return here if I am in Bucharest again.
