Located in a very quiet neighbourhood, at least during hours I stayed there, night and early morning, the hotel is at a 10 minutes walk from Victoria Square and from there not more than 15 to 20 min to the city center. The room is a bit old fashioned as an evironment but cosy enough, clean and the bed really comfortable with big pillows which I really appreaciated, acceptable rich breakfast and fresh squized orange juice. The restaurant has a nice terrace where I had a very delicious dinner !

the staff, although quite kind, very frowning, never smiling, you don't know if they are angry with you or with their life !

I had a four day stay at hotel Irisa during a short vacation in Bucharest together with my working colleagues. The staff was very kind and helpful, especially the receptionist who helped us at 3 or 5 o'clock in the morning (these early hours do to our flight times). We got the breakfast packed so we could take it with us in the mornings when we had to go away early. The food was great, both the breakfast and dinner, really delicious Romanian food. The bed was very comfortable and cleaning service was available every day. The hotel, the restaurant and the staff gave me a cosy and familiar feeling (especially the restaurants atmosphere, it reminded me a lot of the restaurants in the 90's). The location is good, a 10 minute walk from the Victoria subway station, the Antipa Museum and the Museum of the Romanian Peasant.

What I liked less was the air conditioning that was loud and inefficient. Luckily our visit was in October and it was a pleasant temperature outside so I had the window open at night.

Breakfast is excellent

Preferably a kettle and cups in the room

Buffet breakfast, laundry/cleaning service, nice terrace and the old charm of the common spaces.

The vacuum cleaner should also do the carpet underneath the beds, other than that everything was ok.

If you like traditional hotels, this hotel is for you. I enjoyed the fancy white cloth tables at the restaurant, etc. All in all, it is rather comfortable and good value for money

The staff (except for the waiters in the restaurant) wasn't very friendly, but that's pretty standard in Eastern Europe, so in a way it adds up to the experience

A very spacious room well equipped and quite, comfortable bed!

Everything was OK

Everything is exceptional: superb building, classic, nice and quiet neighbourhood, super trained and polite staff, huge room, huge bathroom, alot of toiletries, bath robes and slippers, beautiful and comfortable furniture, coffee and tea making facilities, minibar, . Restaurant has beautiful classic setting, the terase is like paradise full of natural flowers, nice and tasty food, fresh pastries, exceptional staff. We felt at home away from home.

Nothing to complain, everything exceptionally good.

The hotel is in a walking distance to the Victoria Square, and there is a bus stop just in front of the hotel. The staff was nice, and the wifi worked flawlessly. The bed was clean and comfortable and I managed to get a well needed rest. The breakfast was varied and everyone can find something fitting to their taste. On the plus side I was surprised to find tasty vegetables, but on the downside the pancakes were less tasty than expected. Overall the breakfast was adequate, not something to remember but not bad either. The breakfast coffee was not exactly to my taste so I asked one from the bar, which was provided (to my surprise) free of charge.

The room was a bit outdated and it seemed less clean than it actually was. Some freshening up would add a lot. The bathroom fan was not working, and the beds were shaky. There were only two wall plugs that I could find, very inconveniently placed. These are minor downsides though, and given the good value, they can be easily overlooked.

Very good, extensive breakfast the first two days, but scaled back on Sunday and Monday, and they only had the muesli with chocolate pieces in it. The omelettes were very nice. Lots of pastries available. I had an evening meal one day, just a greek salad, but it was absolutely lovely. My room was a great size, with a large very comfortable bed.

The filter coffee was not great - I would have liked hot milk with it to make it less bitter, cold coffee isn’t great.

The rooms were clean and comfortable but expect European mattress standards by which we mean a little more firm than our personal mattress. The quality of the bedding is outstanding. The restaurant was delicious and half the price or comparable meals in the US. Breakfast was made to order and pastries were fresh every day. We asked about oatmeal but they did not have any to make. The staff even loved our little dog and did bat an eye when he ran away downstairs and was in the restaurant getting some food from two young boys. This is a great place to stay and better IMHO than a large US chain hotel.
