Located in Bucharest and within 1.3 km of Bucharest National Theater TNB, Bedsy features a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi. The property is set 2.2 km from Cismigiu Gardens, 2.2 km from National Museum of Art and 2.8 km from Romanian Athenaeum.

Carmen and Fernando are phenomenal hosts. They are always smiling and happy, even though clearly they work a lot and could probably use a vacation themselves haha. They helped me get around the city and find things to do as well. The atmosphere in the hostel is fun and relaxed. Bathrooms are extremely clean and they offer laundry service. The beds are super comfortable, and all beds are equipped with personal outlets to charge your things, which is pretty handy. I genuinely don’t think any other hostels in the area can compete with this one :)

The fantastic ambiance and enthusiasm of the staff was very infectuous (especially Rob and Jo), creating a funky homely feel. The different spaces available like the garden with the ping pong table, the bar with the comfortable sitting space and the big rooms give plenty of opportunities to chat with fellow travelers and even locals, who join in some of the fun activities like trivia night.

Well situated in Bucharest, Bucuresti Bucuresti Hostel offers air-conditioned rooms, a shared lounge and free WiFi. This property is situated a short distance from attractions such as Iancului Metro Station, Cismigiu Gardens, and Romanian Athenaeum. The property is non-smoking and is set 600 metres from Bucharest National Theater TNB.

I returned twice to this place during my 2 weeks in RO, although I did not plan this. It's a very accommodating hostel, a bit like a shared flat. Pauline and Daniel mingle with guests and have really good people skills, making everyone feel wellcome. You need conversations, you'll have that with them, and other guests, everyone's friendly. You'll need some rest, they will make sure this is respected by guests. Very good vibes. I'll book again in summer, when I'm back to RO. While I was really fine in the female dorm, I love the single room, due to the decorated insulation and minimalist feel. I'll be back in June!

    Great location, center is walking distance if you like to walk other wise you can get a cheap taxi to the old part of the center. Big room with comfortable bed. Breakfast offers a lot of things to enjoy. The staff was also great. There are great restaurants near the hotel. After booking we asked for a parking spot for our stay and we got one.

    Good location. About 15-minute walk to the old town, 5-minute walk to the Athenaeum and Calea Victoriei. There's a supermarket close by and plenty of coffee shop options. We always prefer 5 To Go coffee kiosk for cheaper but good coffee. The check-in and check-out were very easy with clear instructions. The building also felt secure and safe. The host was very easy to deal with and communicates promptly. The apartment is very clean, very spacious, modern, and comfortable with full amenities.

    Great location, friendly staff, a budget-friendly place to spend the night safely! Although my party and I had to leave early before the included breakfast, the lounge we were shown had many amenities available outside of breakfast hours. I'm also very grateful to the staff for holding onto some belongings that were accidentally left behind and returning them to me.
