Pensiunea Helvetia

This Pensiunea Helvetia is a hidden secret of Bucharest. First the location: it is just excellent. 100 metres from the metro station Aviatorilor. This cosy place has only eight rooms. Everything works, and it is a bit retro, but definitely in a very positive way. No industrial glass, no neon lights, 24/7 reception. At night out door is closed for safety, but you just ring doorbell and the night porter comes to open. I had absolutely spotless, clean room, with comfy bed, a bath tub, a fridge and balcony. The staff is superfriendly, and you really feel you are a welcomed guest and not just a paying client. Breakfast was optional, but great. Not a buffet breakfast, but I could choose what to have and I was served a breakfast plate with a friendly smile and a good cup of coffee. The price-quality-ratio is excellent, but what I also like is the human touch, the friendliness. Will go there again if and when visiting this interesting city!

Electric kettle had been nice, otherwise everything was perfect.

The staff were super helpful, location is excellent, rooms were clean and comfortable.

It would be great to have water bottles placed in the rooms and it is ok if the charge of the water added to the bill.

Location was amazing, just in front of the park. All the employees of the hotel were absolutely incredibly nice: from the 2 receptionists, to the great cook and the cleaning lady. I think I have never experienced such level of services in Romania before. Very quiet room despite its proximity to the main street and Metro station.

Nothing really. Hotel is oldish and a bit expensive but so extremely clean and comfy. Totally worth it. I think it looks so much better than in the pics.

Hospitality of staff

It’s not modern. Interiors should be upgraded
