Novotel Bucharest City Centre
The hotel is good. Not great. It’s clean. It has decent amenities. However the room was very hot and the hotel also has nowhere to buy personal items. The restaurant was good and they have room service which was nice. Overall I would say it’s a fine place to stay but just not luxurious.

Hilton Garden Inn Bucharest Airport
If you want a place to stay the night before your flight, you can’t go wrong here. It’s very clean and close to the terminal. The AC was not working well and the repairman has to come twice and it still broke later. But overall it’s a nice place. Has laundry room.
