Piaţa Amzei 8; s/d 450/550 lei; )
This
tastefully reconstructed villa just off Calea Victoriei has 22 rooms on four floors. The
wrought-iron atrium in the lobby lends a refined feel. The rooms are in a more restrained
contemporary style, but everything about the place says quality.

; Str Gen Berthelot 9; s/d 400/500 lei;
)
This modern boutique hotel offers bright and clean rooms, with air-conditioning and
LCD TVs. The location, just off the Calea Victoriei, is in the heart of the city's fashion
and boutique quarter, and is excellent for shopping. The rack rates put this property
between midrange and top end, but check the hotel website for discounts that practically
put it in the budget category.

Very nice hotel that sits somewhere between top end and midrange for
Bucharest. Half of the 61 rooms overlook busy B-dul Regina Elisabeta, so request
something off the street if noise is an issue.
Hotel Carpaţi $$

; Str Matei Millo 16; s/d 160/220 lei;
)
This popular backpacker option in an old early-20th-century landmark hotel exudes a
kind of communist-era charm; nevertheless, some of the 40 rooms have been renovated
and offer good value. If you're on a strict budget, go for the even cheaper rooms that don't
have en-suite bathrooms.
