An executive choice of hotel
I am completely speechless. The cleanliness, the gourmet dishes, the friendly staff, everything was perfect! I highly reccommend the choice of executive rooms which provide better city views and more space in each room.

Hotel's Favourite
Just Perfect
We spent five days with he family at the Hilton Athenee. The stay was faultless. All staff were without exception absolutely wonderful and kids friendly. One to point out was Gabriella at breakfast every morning, welcoming and aura of happiness. After full day of touring it was very nice to go to the spa/ swimming pool/ gym, well managed and clean. Large buffet spread for breakfast with tip top service. Overall a very pleasant stay, this was our first visit to Bucharest and found it to be a great city with wonderful people. Have to return sometime in the future.

Low for a 5 🌟 Hotel
First of all the rooms aren't soundproof at all. You could hear ok your neighbours. The view in the room we stayed in was like looking into a back alley of a bad neighborhood. The breakfast is very low on options. They asked for a money guarantee for our stay

Dear andrei875, Thank you for choosing to stay at Athénée Palace Hilton and for taking the time to share your feedback. I am sorry to hear that you encountered inconveniences with the noise coming from the adjoining rooms during your journey at our hotel. We would have been grateful if you had let us know about your discontent during your stay with us, so that we could have ensured the comfort of your stay. In addition, I am sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the breakfast experience. We normally get very good comments about our breakfast and food outlets, so it comes as a surprise to me. However, we have taken into consideration your comment regarding the variety of options. With regards to your comment about the pre-authorization, at the moment of the check in, a pre-authorization is done on the credit card, meaning that a sum of money is blocked in your bank account and you are unable to use it, meaning that there is no actual charge. At the moment of you departure, my colleagues cancel the transaction, meaning that from our side, the amount is released. I like to assure you that this procedure is applied to all of our guests as a method to ensure the payment at the end of the stay. I hope that despite this unpleasant situation, we will have the opportunity to welcome you back at our hotel. Wishing you a Merry Holiday Season! Kind Regards, Rainer Gieringer General Manager

Nicest hotel and nicest staff
Always a treat to stay at this hotel. Great history (where spies met during WW2 and Cold War), great ambiance and close to everything including Old Town. The front desk was always so helpful and made check-in delightful. The concierge got us reservations to visit Parliament and gave us some secret spots to visit that even locals miss. Monika in Executive Lounge is a huge asset and always greeted us with a smile. So nice to stay at this Old World but modern hotel. bonus - fastest internet in Europe so far!

Nicely located but a bit aged
This Hilton is in a nice area of the City (walking distance to center and old town). However, the building and the interior is a bit aged and needs a renovation. Otherwise, good service and nice breakfast buffet. To be improved checkout!

What is the best way to get from the hotel from the airport?
We arrived late at night so we opted for a private driver who met us in the terminal and we reserved it through the hotel. It was not the cheapest method but it was the safest for us as we were arriving close to midnight in the city. The service was great.
