Novotel Bucharest City Centre

The Novotel Bucharest City Centre is a four-star chain hotel at Calea Victoriei 37B in Sector 1, Bucharest, Romania, on the capital's historic main boulevard. The location is close to the Romanian Athenaeum, Revolution Square and the National History Museum, with the Old Town (Lipscani) roughly a ten- to fifteen-minute walk to the south. The Universitate and Piața Romană metro stations are within reasonable walking distance, so the hotel is well placed for sightseeing without a car. The building is modern and functional, in keeping with the Novotel brand, and its appeal is practicality and a convenient address rather than historic architecture. Rooms are offered as Standard Rooms, Superior Rooms and Family Rooms, and the Family Room category makes the hotel a good option for parents travelling with children, since Novotel hotels are generally family-friendly. Amenities include air conditioning, wifi, a fitness center, a restaurant, a bar, 24-hour reception and a seasonal outdoor pool that opens in summer, a welcome feature during hot weather. The on-site restaurant serves breakfast and meals, and Calea Victoriei offers many cafes and restaurants within a few minutes' walk. Service is friendly and unfussy, catering to both business and leisure guests, and the hotel belongs to the Accor group, so loyalty members can earn points. Rates in the $$$ band, around 400-700 RON per night, are moderate for such a central address, and a guest rating of about 4.2 reflects reliable standards. The hotel suits families, couples and business visitors who want a practical, well-located base with some leisure facilities. Because the pool is seasonal, summer visits get the most from the property.
