Lido by Phoenicia

Loved our stay at the hotel, vintage aesthetic with modern facilities. 15 min walk from old town and other attractions. Overall great experience.

The general old touch, the ornaments, the art collection, the old style elevator, everything caring the ambiance of a pre-WWII Bucharest hotel. Will definitely recommend and revisit.

Lovely hotel, nice staff, great location. Twin room was great, well sized. Breakfast was ok, but nothing to special.

What a lovely hotel, service was excellent and decor cute. We upgraded one of our parties rooms to a suite which was great. There is a great italian restaurant just next door - a must try! Food was excellent

Really great service

Great location and unexpected opportunity to watch the parade on 24th Jan, from our balcony. Also 9 min walk for coach to Transylvania day trip. Would definitely stay here again when we return to Bucharest.

I was unsure to give 3 or 4 stars in this review but ended up giving 4 because at the end of my stay the manager of the hotel made up for all the issues that happened (broken flush in the toilet as soon as I checked in, no light in the room in one of the nights and then they didn’t fix it the next day as promised, etc) by giving me late check out free of charge. I really liked the hotel room, the bed was sooo big and comfortable, stayed in the top floor with view to the back and it was perfect. The hotel is kinda old style which is nice interior design and specially during Halloween it’s all decorated which is a nice touch. The lift is also old style which is a massive issue tho! If you don’t close the door manually after getting out the lift it wouldn’t work anymore (I was at the very top floor and on 3 occasions had to go all the way down by stairs because someone didn’t close the door of the lift which is really annoying so bear that in mind. Breakfast is ok, nothing specially, could be better quality and variety. Location is great, super central and walkable everywhere, that was a must! There was a weird smell on the corridors tho (like dump with a mix of cigarette smell), they need to fix that. Staff is ok, not extremely friendly but polite. If you have trouble sleeping/don’t like much noise, ask for a room with view to the back, the rooms facing the front (main road) are extremely noisy as it’s located in one of the busiest avenues in the city and there’s a lot of cars.

Beautiful hotel with nice and friendly stuff. We enjoyed our stay very much!

The overall stay was good. The hotel decorations although too much at times were amazing! Impecable design! However there a bit of a smell (like damp) on the corridors apart from it was a good stay.

We have stayed before in that hotel but this time was a different experience! Firstly they gave us a small room than the one that booked and after complaining about the condition of the room that we given they transferred us to a bigger one. You could see that no maintenance was carried out that the hotel as a wardrobe doors were broken and the fridge was making weird noises.

We liked the arty ambience. The down town old city location. Museums nearby. Lots of places to eat. We found a great bistro adjacent. All good,

Decor is amazing! Very comfortable stay and very stylish interior design

Great atmosphere with unique vintage look

Sub-par conditions in relation to price

The art and deco were amazing and well put together. Front desk were amazing and helpful. Romeo top notch helpful with our luggage and directing us to our rooms. I will say that the breakfast staff were not as friendly as you would expect, that was the only downsize of the hotel otherwise everything was amazing.

We stayed for a long weekend. The checkin was quick and efficient. I was somewhat surprised they didn’t want me to leave my credit card details, but they said you pay as you go. Only 1 lift so sometime it was a bit congested, we were on the 4th floor, although I could walk up and down, my wife has a bad leg and needed to use the lift. The room was clean and functional. The bathroom had a lot of water pressure, but that meant the tap was noisy unless you had it on “full blast”. There was ample hot water. There were all the usual soap, shower gel etc, but they also left small toothbrush and past and razor should you have forgotten these. I slept really well, once I’d managed to get the temperature right, the room was very hot. We left the window open, and even though we were facing away from the busy road it was still a bit noisy. Breakfast, was a little bit poor. The toasters were home versions so slow, and once I had a tepid fried egg and another time it was just cold. So the hot breakfast was a bit hit and miss. Meat and cheese selection was good, as was the fruit juice and coffee. The tea, I my opinion was too weak, even with 2 bags and a good old soak. Would I go back, yes, but I might consider paying more for better room facilities/ breakfast.

Great location - approx 10/15 minute walk to the Old Town and then several coffee shops just outside hotel. Hotel room lovely - lots of amenities. Only thing to note is that bathroom slightly run down, paint pealing and needs resealed. Staff lovely and friendly. We speak English and English really great! Breakfast - standard breakfast. Plenty of choice and included in room rate. Approx 20 minutes from Airport. Overall enjoyed our stay and would stay again!

Hotel building and decor itself is nice, however having booked a “executive suite” with a bath I discovered on the 1st night there was no hot water. Called reception who sent someone up, water eventually got warm at best after he turned some mains valves on/off. Second night again no hot water, told reception who said I could change room but I was checking out the next morning. Asked for an alternative solution ie some for of refund to compensate for the fact we didn’t have hot water, reasonable request for a hotel that makes itself out to be upmarket. This was refused and abruptly told they had given me an option. Poor customer service that I’d expect at a budget hotel. Wouldn’t stay here again if I had the choice. Breakfast buffet isn’t great either, tables not being cleaned so nowhere to sit and the food was extremely average. Could have paid less money and stayed somewhere far better.

Great value and location

Lovely hotel with helpful staff in a great location in Bucharest! The rooms were spacious and comfortable and the breakfast in the morning was delicious. Carpet was a little bit old and my fridge leaked, but other than that I had a lovely stay in the food in room service was excellent. Highly recommend this hotel and I will stay again whenever I get back to Bucharest.
