Hotel Cișmigiu

Hotel Cișmigiu is a four-star hotel at Bulevardul Regina Elisabeta 38 in Sector 5, Bucharest, Romania, a few minutes' walk from Cișmigiu Gardens, the city's oldest and most central public park. Calea Victoriei lies a short distance to the east, and the Old Town (Lipscani) is roughly a fifteen- to twenty-minute walk, making the location handy for travellers who want to explore on foot at moderate cost. The Universitate metro station and tram routes along Regina Elisabeta Boulevard provide further links across the city. The hotel is a practical mid-range property rather than a historic palace, and its appeal is a calm, central address near green space, in contrast to the busier Revolution Square area. Rooms are offered as Standard Rooms, Superior Rooms and Suites, and the amenities include air conditioning, wifi, a restaurant, a bar and 24-hour reception. The on-site restaurant serves breakfast and meals, and the bar offers a place to unwind after sightseeing; the neighbourhood also has many cafes and restaurants within a few minutes' walk. The hotel does not list a pool, spa or fitness center, so it is aimed at guests who spend most of the day out in the city. Service is straightforward and friendly, in keeping with the four-star category, and the 24-hour reception helps with early departures and late arrivals. Rates in the $$ band, around 350-600 RON per night, offer good value compared with the large chain hotels, and a guest rating of about 4.1 reflects solid but unpretentious accommodation. The hotel suits couples, solo travellers and small groups who want a central base near the gardens without paying luxury prices.
