Good location. But, recommend walking the 50-200m to another hostel. Sharing a room with a drunk old man who spits on the mattress (he had no sheets) and floor in between sitting up and talking/yelling resulted in the 3 other persons in the room having a most unpleasant stay. After reporting it to the staff (2 young gentlemen) they laughed and stated he'd been staying there for some time. Given that they were aware about the man's behavior, it would seem appropriate to advise guests at the least or more likely to not put others in the same room or most likely not provide beds to drunks. Just think you may get the lucky nasty mattress! Additionally, bathrooms were dirty and breakfast was limited.

The hostel was situated very closed to the central train station, so it was perfect. If you wanted to go by walk to the centre it takes about 30 minutes, but also you have metro or tram for going there, although metro is a little bit confusing... Staff was very helpfull with us and gave us a map for free.

They provided a limited breakfast with the bed, which was unexpected and very welcome!

I actually moved to another hostel after staying here. ?t was really hot and there was no AC. My room was on the first floor by the main door. We had the window open to get some fresh air but just outside were some people smoking and talking until about 2AM. They don't offer any tours and don't know of any. They couldn't help me with any bus details but it's not really their fault since the bus transportation in Bucharest is pretty awful.

Had a great stay... The only thing that might be a little annoyance is the location from the Old Town as it is a little far away but other than that the hostel is great!

It is a nice hostel and a short walk from the train station. It is on the corner of a busy intersection and is pretty loud outside sometimes. Staff was very helpful.

Good location near to the Gara de Nord by only a 10 minute walk, free internet, nice and clean bath plus toilets. Suggestions for improving: More selections for breakfast, like tea, coffee, cereals, bread, cake.
