Reviews for Taxi Hostel
Review 1：Art throughout was a bit questionable, made us wonder if they rented rooms out by the hour in the off season. Not someplace to stay for all the action in downtown Bucharest but great for a late night arrival or early morning flight out.
Review 2：Staff was incredibly kind and helpful from the front desk lady who printed our boarding passes for us to the breakfast staff and the woman who drove us to the airport. Breakfast was one of the best we had in Romania. Great location for easy quick transport to the airport and with restaurants close by. Neighborhood seemed nice/safe and place was clean.
Review 3：Bathroom wasn't clean. Nothing too horrible, but could definitely use a good scrub.
Review 4：Bedroom was Ok. Convenient location to the airport, staff was friendly.
Review 5：The room was close to reception. ... . Was so noisy, I heard the conversations in the reception , the other guests up and down the stairs, and every time the light was ON on the hallway, I could just see it in the room.Fall asleep very late due to those disturbing issues....
Review 6：The locals,the drink,food, local music,the people that stayed,aswell as the staff.The place itself,good,very helpful staff,many thanks for taking me too the airport ? ;)
Review 7：Had to pay for airport transfer when we were under the impression it was included in the price. Bathrooms were dirty. Lots of noise from others all night long
Review 8：Close to airport. Offered airport transfer
Review 9：We switched one room for the other. The first had been recently refurbished and was smelling like wall paint. The second one was dusty and smelled mouldy. The reception girl was smoking in the reception room.
Review 10：Relatively close to the airport.
Review 11：We had an early morning flight from Otopeni and the hostel was great for this. At £6 each you don't expect 5* accommodation but the room was clean, comfortable and 10 mins from the airport. It suited us well and we would have no hesitation of going back.
Review 12：We were picked up at the airport and brought directly to the hostel. Since we arrived after midnight, this was crucial. The facilities are very basic but clean. The staff was friendly and helpful.
Review 13：All was well, no A/C, but then it was not that hot.
Review 14：Quiet, near stores and restaurants. Unbelievable value for the money. You will experience true Romania.
Review 15：not very comfortable beds, AC unit so noisy we couldn't use it during the night as we couldn't sleep with the noise
Review 16：close to the airport, english speaking staff, airport drop or pick up for free
Review 17：AC in room, must in the future be installed in every room, in summertime you can stand the heat in this rooms
Review 18：Free transfer to the Airport, could not be better. The price, a lot of value for the money
Review 19：nothing special bad points Around hotel There is no restaurant after 23:00
Review 20：We stayed with the children of 17-year-old and 13-year-old. Ours flight was early in the morning. Price is a conscientious, it was have all minimum things needed. also to the Airport only 5 minutes access. and it was good to choose this hotel is not embroiled in the morning rush hour.
Review 21：The staff are incredible and go out of their way to help you. In myexperiences Romania hospitality isn't always mandatory, but TaxiHostel is incredible!
Review 22：Internet is spotty. While maps show the hotel being close to the airport, walking to it is only recommended if you only have a reasonable size backpack. If you have significant size luggage, take a cab or at least the bus.
Review 23：New kid on the block (at least as far as their presence on booking.com) and doing well. Friendly staff, rooms are okay. Okay price/value ratio.
Review 24：- The cleaningness of the room can be improved (we had a sheet which was a little dirty);
Review 25：- The location close to the airport; - The free transfer from the hotel to the airport because we had an early flight.
Review 26：There is nothing to do in otopeni but this place is great if you are staying for one night. They will come pick you up at the airport for free (you only pay 3 lei for the parking costs) the rooms are basic but have everything.
Review 27：The staff were very helpful and really went out of their way to answer questions and help with last minute travel changes. I would definitely stay here agian.
Review 28：There was a noisy group leaving with luggage at 4am - probably for a 6 o'clock flight. A little reminder in the rooms to be considerate of others who are sleeping might help!
Review 29：Clean, comfortable, close to the airport, free airport transfer available. Helpful and friendly staff. I have used Taxi Hostel several times when bringing people to the airport.
Review 30：everything was so nice,very good and fresh food,the staff in very kind ! the bus station is near so you have no problems to get in the center of Bucharest ! the price is cheap compare to other hostels i`ve been ! i recomand booking to TaxiHostel !
Review 31：I made reservation the twin room with private bathroom.The room was big, warm and very clean. The staff and special the lady at the reception was very friendly and helpful. Last but not least the price was amazing for hostel only 38 euro or 170lei for two nights with taxi connection to the airport (no extra fee)
Review 32：The price and location couldn't be beat. The owner comes to pick you up himself and is very kind and accommodating. The stay was great and the ride back to the airport fast and at my time of choosing.
Review 33：Great hostel for one-two nights stay. Pretty close to the airport.They assured our transport from the airport for free I recommend thishotel-hostel
Review 34：When we came to hotel we were told that our booking was not existing. Webooked in advance triple comfort room. We even made a remark that we arecoming in the middle of the night, because we had late flight. So lateron we found out that it was not even proceeded in the system!!!! Thepersonnel absolutely didn’t have any interest(I would say they werebothered by our visit) to us and was repeating only that our booking isnot found. We had luck that our Romanian friends persuaded thereceptionist to give us another one room, but in the morning we weremoved to another one. No apologies for this we received. Also we hadroom with breakfast ,but there was not any breakfast and in generalthere was not any restaurant or coffee place in the hotel even it wasadvertised on the web-site. I definitely will not come back and will notrecommend this place to anyone.
Review 35：Location because it was very close to our friend'scelebration event.
Review 36：When we asked the reception to call a taxi for us, they ordered a taxi with a very expensive rate (2.99 Lei per KM) while a normal taxi with the normal rate would be 1.40 Lei per KM. We ended up paying 60 Lei for a ride to Gara de Nord (the main train station) which would normally cost 25 to 30 Lei.
Review 37：Very helpful staff. Rooms are clean.
Review 38：Very clean, staff was very helpful, food was excellent. I recommend this hostel for all those who want some cosy (yet VERY cheap) place to stay overnight and be very close, either to the Henry Coanda airport or Bucharest.
Review 39：The bathroom sink is too very small that I couldnt wash my face.
Review 40：Beds are very comfortable. Everything was very clean. Staff were really friendly and helpful.
Review 41：We were a group of 5 friends on transit via Bucharest. Even though we arrived at the airport at 1 AM in the night - we had a person from the hostel pick us up. The place is in a quiet location and has this awsome terrace restaurant. Highly recommend if you would like to stay very close to the airport.
Review 42：wifi not working, not possible to pay by credit card, luck of electric sockets, poor facilities
Review 43：close to airport. if you have departure early/ arrival late, good place to stay over
Review 44：I stayed in this hotel for a night during my transit through Bucharest. The taxi has arrived quickly after I called the hotel from the airport. The room was very clean, with a rustic touch in furnishing and free Wi-Fi internet. I had dinner at the hotel's restaurant and the food was delicious, Italian specific. The staff was very friendly, the location was quiet and very close to the airport. Highly recommended.
Review 45：The location is super convenient for airport trips--just 3 minutes away. It was spotlessly clean and bright. The guy who helped us check in was very friendly. Great value for money. I'd definitely recommend this place again!
Review 46：Shower room was shabby and in serious need of a refit, but the shower worked properly which is all I required. No air conditioning, but the fan worked. A fridge was on and very noisy - I couldn't find the wall plug or I'd have switched it off. If I'd not been so tired it might have been annoying.
Review 47：I was so tired that I'd have slept on a rope; but the bed was comfortable, the room airy and clean. The fan worked a treat and kept me cool enough to sleep well. The free transfer from the airport was a bonus.
Review 48：I smell that the water is mold in the washroom. Need to get more of towels for bathrooms The fridge is not running good! The pillows are not good, need to buy a good pillows to sleep on bed , to sleep well better! Wifi sometime slowed
Review 49：I like the people who care to help me to listen what I required to writ the paper ; in deaf. They are such friendly, helped me to find the ATM, they ride for me to go somewhere a bit. They always served me to ope communication. Great location closed and safe!
