Hotel in Bucharest
 

Any suggestions for a moderatly priced hotel in Bucharest? Any travel tips?

As with every query regarding Eastern Europe, I recommend starting with <BR> <BR>www.inyourpocket.com

You could also check "Lonely Planet"'s message board for Central and East Europe.

I've gotten much more information on Poland and Romania on Lonely Planet then here. Seems the younger people are more adventuresome then this forum.

For the less-traveled areas of Eastern Europe, Lonely Planet has great coverage on their web site (as well as their books--look at where the Russia book covers). <BR> <BR>But the web site does aim often at backbackers and others who travel on a limited budget--nothing wrong with that, but remember that when you see reponses on their boards (I was flamed once when I recommended a guide, as several people said that those on a limited budget don't have enough money to spend $30-100/day on a local guide). <BR> <BR>Funny, if you had to narrow down one annoying topic on LonelyPlanet.com, it would be "where do I pick up lasses in Eastern Europe?". Here, it is "what color trousers should I wear?" I guess the common thread is both audiences want to know "where", or "wear."

Stay at the Marriott!!!

I always stay at the Majestic, which is on a quiet side street of Calea Victoria. Nothing fancy, but a great breakfast and reasonable prices. Decent hotels in Bucharest are expensive.
