Top hotels in Herăstrău
PeakTure Hotel Bucharest
Noisy room due to the outside area and direct street access to a three lane street. Balcony way smaller than shown on the pictures. Whatever balcony it is, this was not one we saw on our side of the wall. No chair or table would ever fit. No check in until exactly 2pm. They made us wait 45 min instead ...
