Erbario House

The rooms are spacious and clean, and the apartment is beautifully decorated with its own restaurant. It’s well located, about a 10-minute walk from Tineretului metro station, two stops from central Bucharest. The price makes it well worth it. Staff were very friendly and attentive, bringing anything we needed right away. On our last day, the owner kindly let us leave our backpacks in the apartment since checkout was at noon and our flight wasn’t until 8:30 pm.

They canceled my reservation two days before the Metallica concert, even though I’d booked it a year earlier. Zero professionalism. I don’t recommend them.

The apartment was spacious and clean, and the staff seemed to genuinely care about guests. But it was in a basement, with a musty smell when we walked in, and the windows were inconvenient. The bed was incredibly uncomfortable, too. The worst part came on our last night. There was a private party at the bar upstairs, and the noise went on until 2 a.m. We couldn't sleep. When we asked the host about it, he said it was a family party. Since guests were staying there, they should have stopped by midnight. We stayed four nights, but I wouldn't come back or recommend the place.

The location is handy, with a tram and bus stop just 100 meters away. There was air conditioning, a small fridge and kettle, three packets of fruit tea and sugar, soap for hands and the shower, and a welcome two-liter bottle of water. The room was quite nice, though it had no windows, only a skylight that opened a little. The two-person blanket was short, and there were no spares. The towels felt too stiff and rubbed my skin. There was a persistent rotten sewage smell from the bathroom, and I saw a cockroach come out of it. I also noticed a few small cleaning issues, which might be forgivable if you're less particular than I am.
