Reviews for Amethyst House
Review 1:None.
Review 2:Prompt, responsive, professional, and friendly staff. Very clean, real spotless. Close to airport -- a max 10 minute ride to the airport. The hotel provides reliable free shuttle to/from airport. Excellent for the night before an early flight. I needed a ride to the airport at 3:30 am - the hotel receptionist took me to the airport. Very nice!
Review 3:Wonderful experience, can't find anything negative to say
Review 4:Wonderful staff and facilities, breakfast was awesome, room was spacious, clean and well decorated.
Review 5:Very helpfull man on reception. As we arrived 3am in the morning after a long day of traveling with young children. He was very helpfull with baggage ect.
Review 6:No lifts, no secure parking, out-of-the-way location. 4 stars might be a bit high considering the amenities, maybe 3.5 by Romanian standards.
Review 7:The decor is special, true to the name Amethyst.
Review 8:Breakfast is expensive. Had to wait half an hour for airport shuttle after he set the time. Luckily we still had enough time to make our flight.
Review 9:Nice room, close to airport with a shuttle.
Review 10:Friendly staff, went out of way to have breakfast ready for us at 7:30 AM, earlier than usual time. Also, made arrangements for shuttle service at 4 AM on our return trip.
Review 11:Lots of stray dogs in the neighbourhood (not the hotel's fault of course, but it is not ideal for walking - better use a car). The bathroom, in my room at least, was a little narrow (overweight people may find it hard to use).
Review 12:Very friendly staff, well-equipped rooms, comfortable beds, ordinary breakfast. Great value for money for travellers like myself who wish to spend a night near the airport.
Review 13:Staff was extraordinary, friendly. Food was real good and service also. They even uprated my room to a biger room because i came with my dog and the new room had a biger balcony.
Review 14:Perhaps just a bit more detail about need to call them when at airport for pick up
Review 15:Very prompt service; incredibly useful to have free transport to and from airport. Big room with ensuite; quiet area. Would definitely go back and recommend to others
Review 16:They have two locations and don't tell you until you get there...luckily it is really close. Breakfast is not included in the rate.
Review 17:Very nice place for the price.
Review 18:Nothing in the area, but used it as airport hotel, so no issue.
Review 19:Great for overnight before early flight. Host went out of his way to make sure my stay was excellent.
Review 20:We were upgraded to a superior room (for the same price, which was very cheap). The room was comfortable and well decorated. The young staff were friendly and helpful, and dinner was tasty. The hotel is close to the airport and offer a free shuttle every half an hour. Great value for the money.
Review 21:The staff were outstanding, extremely helpfull. carried our bags up the stairs. booked a taxi for us. airport shuttle was great, at any time to suit you. location was great as an airport stopover (but not for anything else)
Review 22:The mattress on our bed was a little hard, but for the kids' beds it was nice. Also the plugs, switches and the finishing on the construction part were on the cheap side. No breakfast included in the price. I would raise the price a little and include a free breakfast!
Review 23:The price for the the services is wonderful! The staff was friendly and very respectful.
Review 24:we send only the last night there. we took the the sweet, the place close to the international air port the stuff are very very nice. it is not far from Bukarest.
Review 25:I loved the staff they were so nice and made me feel home . Very kind and helpful . The room was lovely too , purple ( my favourite colour) . Really enjoyed being there . Will go back there anytime.
Review 26:- internet connection really weak on top floor, but not too much of a problem because for this value deal, you can just go downstairs.
Review 27:- very quick pick up at the airport - manager was very nice and helpful - super deal especially for families on their final night near the airport : 2 rooms each with flat screen televisions with cable - purple themed, but fun not garish and very clean - bonus : for around 3€ the manager can have you driven to a really good mall with different restaurants. The mall is huge and worth visiting just to see the effects of globalization. It's clearly THE place to go on Saturday evenings !
Review 28:The guy from the reception very helpful and very nice. He greeted us and help with our languages upstairs. The room was so nice, clean, and our baby had a very nice crib. Free shuttle to the aeroport in am a big plus. I recomend this place to every one. Price acceptable. If I will go back , I would stay there again.
Review 29:No stairs, even for the 3rd floor. Poor breakfast. It is impossible to stand in the bath of the 3rd floor as the roof is in your head
Review 30:Very comfortable beds. The only hotel in Romania where every of our 3 kids got is own private and comfortable bed
Review 31:Helpful free shuttle travelling with a cat was no problem. Soacious rooms and bathroom was huge. We were there to catch a flight from the airport and infortunatley did not have alot of time.
Review 32:Not a problem but important to know: free airport pickup requires phoning them to let them know you need the pickup--fine if you have a phone, but a problem if you don't. The hotel is in the middle of a residential district with basically no stores or restaurants around. If you don't have a car the only place within 1km walking distance is a grocery store and a McDonalds. No problem if you have a car or are there for a short stay--but good to know before you book.
Review 33:Huge room with a balcony and Jacuzzi tub. AC worked great. Pleasant and helpful staff. I called from the airport for a pickup and they were there within 10 minutes. The shuttle to the airport in the morning was great too. Close to the airport, so you can sleep in a little longer even with an early morning flight :)
Review 34:. . No elevators. We had rooms in 2nd floor and many heavy bags. On the bright side, the team members helped us to carry the baggages.
Review 35:Good location. Good shuttle service. Staff members are kind and willing to help
Review 36:Had a little problem figuring out the shower, I'd suggest maybe some instructions. (several heads and jets, and it's kind of an experiment to figure it all out)
Review 37:We needed an overnight hotel, before an early departure from the Bucharest Airport. The Amythest was an excellent value and provided far more than we really expected, especially considering the small charge we paid. I also want to specifically thank Sorin for all of his help. I'd recently sprained my ankle and was in no condition to carry bags up and down stairs. He took care of all of it, and even tapped on our door early in the morning to insure that we were ready to go at the time we'd said we needed to leave. Very nice man.
Review 38:Air con took too long to cool the room it would have been nice had it been put on before we arrived as it was an attic room and very hot. The hotel needs a sign outside to show where it is.
Review 39:Large quiet room
Review 40:Very close to car hire at the airport. The staff were very friendly and helped us the next morning with our plans to visit the Palace of the Parliament. We loved the 2 bedroom suite, perfect for us and 2 our teenage children.
Review 41:I booked one night at Amythest House for me & four friends prior to our early morning flight out of Bucharest. We were very pleased with the five bed suite, which enabled us to all stay together without having to book separate rooms. The hotel was very clean & the service provided by Adrian (I believe that was his name) was first class! We received a shuttle ride to the airport early in the morning & the location was great for an early flight. We also really enjoyed the cat that hangs out on the property!! :) I would definitely stay here again!
Review 42:We got in late and had to leave early, but the staff was enthusiastic and friendly-- pretty amazing given that they were giving us a ride to the airport at 4am! The room was very clean and comfortable and we'd definitely stay here again.
Review 43:Not what it says on the tin :-) I booked because it said there was children's play park and swimming pool when there was neither. We were also put out in an annex streets away and didnt actually see the hotel. That said as a transit one night only place it was fine and the staff were very helpful and friendly
Review 44:Helpful staff
Review 45:The wifi connection seems poor but was enough or is to check emails etc out in the beer garden!
Review 46:We had a delightful night in Amethyst House. The staff and owners are lovely people who actually go beyond what is necessary to make you feel welcome. They went out of their way to cater for our picky eater son. I can't recommend it highly enough. Such a reasonable price and free airport transfer. What more could you ask for. Thank you xo
Review 47:A bit out of the way, but once you get familiar with location, it's not too bad
Review 48:The staff at Amethyst were wonderful and helpful. Takes youto/from airport. Thank you Stan, Adrian, Christian and nice young lady at front desk...you were great hosts
Review 49:There isn't we didn't like about this property.
Review 50:Everyone went the extra mile to ensure we had a wonderful stay! Transfer to and from airport if needed.
Review 51:noise noise and again noise. we stayed there for one night, before the flight to which we had to leave at 4 AM. So we tried going to sleep around 10pm. but there were guests leaving and coming in the hotel and talking in the hallways and it was impossible. eventually around 12 we got some peace and quit, which lasted for an hour or so, because then people came and it was noisy again. eventually did not manage to get any sleep at all.
Review 52:* The location is very close to the airport. * the Host are very nice and try to be attentive to the guests. * We were upgraded to a better room which was pretty cool to have a Jacuzzi to relax before the tip home.
Review 53:Everything was great, the staff very helpful with everything, the location isclose to airport and a free shuttle first thing in the morning. Rooms and bbathrooms were very clean and comfortable. Will stay here again in the future.
Review 54:the place was overall clean but I found the coverlet on the bed stained/dirty. I asked for sheet set for the couch the kids were sleeping on and a blanket for them and the staff suggested I use the coverlet for them. I declined that recommendation and explained that it was stained. He went and checked in the hall way to see if it was stained before brining me clean sheets for the kids. My suggestion to them is "don't doubt your customers/clients". If a customer says something is dirty then the staff should simply apologize and take care of the issue immediately.
Review 55:The staff were great. Close to Otopeni airport (15min by car on a Saturday mid morning) It was quiet. The prices were great.
Review 56:This is how it works: The hotel is a house in a residential neighborhood. So it is not easy to find. I called them from the airport and they came to pick me up quickly. Once you are in the house, there is nothing much you can do except walking around the neighborhood.
Review 57:Friendly staff. Nice room. Nice bathroom. Free airport transportation.
Review 58:The staff were very welcoming and friendly to talk to, especially Christian! The free airport pick up is a great bonus and arrives quick. Room was clean and very comfortable, highly recommend!
Review 59:Everything this accomadation is complete in every way staff second to none twenty four hours a day transportation to and fro airport included.we stayed there last year and would use every time in Romania
Review 60:Hotelul este foarte curat, aproape de aeroport; este asigurat transportul hotel-aeroport si invers. Personal deosebit de amabil. Mic dejun foarte bun. Ideal pentru a sta o noapte la Bucuresti, inainte de a lua avionul pentru urmatoarea destinatie.
Review 61:Nothing
Review 62:Nice clean rooms. Lovely and helpful staff who also upgraded our rooms to two with jacuzzi style pool and shower at no additional fee. Good quality and choice on breakfast. Well located at a short distance from the airport.
Review 63:The location, while close to the airport, is terrible. I hardly slept because there were dogs barking and roosters calling all night. And I had to leave my window open because it was so hot. It was cheap, but you get what you pay for. I would pay more and stay somewhere else next time.
Review 64:The staff was friendly and the free shuttle to/from the airport was helpful.
Review 65:Small,cozy and easy to reach hotel.Great service.I was travelling to Italy and I have left the car at their parking.The guys provide shuttle to Henri Coanda airport.What a car the Subaru Outback is uh?I like everything about this hotel and I shall be using it again!I would certainly recommend it to my friends and colleagues.
Review 66:The minibar was empty and at 1.00 am when arrived I was thirsty and had nothing to drink! The put me in a different facility than one I booked which was little bit unready...no breakfast facilities. If I would like breakfast I had to drive to the main facility I originally booked
Review 67:Close to the airport. Staff tried their best
Review 68:Nada
Review 69:The staff did everything to make us feel home without overwhelming. Location little far from city center but 738 did the job and we had a car. Totally recommendable.
Review 70:A bit far from downtown but the reason why I booked this hotel was the location close to the airport. I arrived the airport very late at night.
Review 71:Free transfer from and to airport. Just 5-10 minuites wait after caling them from airport. The staff was very nice and serviceminded. Really good english. Breakfast very good. Room very clean, nice and quiet.
Review 72:Location, sometimes even hard to get taxi. Bathroom suddenly full of sewer water. Bad bed, springs poke you everywhere.
Review 73:Staff very friendly. Modern rooms. Clean rooms.
Review 74:Nothing to dislike.
Review 75:We arrived in the evening from that moment onwards the staff could not be more helpful very nice person highly recommend would stay again.
Review 76:Wifi didn't work for some hours
Review 77:Amazing staff, I was treated extremely well, almost like I was invited to someone's place. Thank you so much for the attention to detail and friendliness! :)
Review 78:The service is perfect. They take you at the airport and in 5minutes you are in there place. People are gentle. Breakfast is very good. I was served (3times) by Adrian who is always helpful and kind.
Review 79:The family room we booked was book up. So we were given two single room so are family spend two nights apart. Not good. Did not get breakfast the first morning that we had paid for.
Review 80:4 Star???Never ever! Maybe 2 star hotel room.Weird smell in the room, very cheap doors and furniture, bathroom facilities with major defects. Worthless!!Very disappointed!
Review 81:Good location, that's all.
Review 82:Extremely friendly staff with excellent spoken English. The room was clean and warm. Tip: if you arrive from the airport ring reception and hotel will provide a free shuttle service.
Review 83:My and my familly booked one suite and a deluxe Room at this hotel. First surprise came when we went the the indicated adress on booking.com, to be told that our rooms are in a different building, different adress.. Not COOL.. Ok, it's not very far away, but still i don't consider it beeing normal. Once we got to the "other" hotel, we saw that the " suite" we booked was actually 2 regular rooms.. Again, not COOL.. No breakfast facilitys at this 2.nd hotel, if you wanted to eat you were invitec to the other hotel, on the first location. The location i would describe it "poor", on some side-streets, difficult to find even wirh GPS!
Review 84:The staff at the hotel, the deluxe Room, Shuttle Service to the Airport.
Review 85:it is a little remote from shops and other amenities
Review 86:Staff were very friendly and helpful. I feel as though I have made new friends My room was superb. It would be great in the summer.
Review 87:- we stayed one night, as we had a flight very early in the morning. everything was just perfect, no negative aspect noticed
Review 88:- it was the first hotel in Romania which it really matched our expections in terms of price/quality relation - the personal was indeed nice: they woke us up in the morning and brought us natural fresh coffee to our room to an hour set by us - a free of charge transfer service to airport was available at the hour set by us, which, of course, we used - we travelled in the winter, in the room was really warm, despite the outside temperature of some minus 15 degrees Celsius
Review 89:The furniture is a bit dated. The bed in our room was square and not too big (my feet were coming out). The worst thing was the noise, if anyone talks in one of the rooms around, it's like you're in the same room. I couldn't fell asleep until 4 am.
Review 90:Location was good, near the airport, in a residential area. Rooms were big enough and pretty clean. Free airport shuttle whenever you need it. Parking service (even long term). Great staff. Good breakfast.
Review 91:No lift but there is only one flight of stairs.
Review 92:We stayed at Amethyst House2 which is in the road parallel to the first one. It is brand new and the room was big and airy with a large terrace. The shower was also big and very clean. I would highly recommend it as an airport hotel and would book there again if I return to Romania.
Review 93:It is a bit in the middle of nowhere, with quite a long walk to the main road, where the is a McDs and supermarket. Don't even consider walking from the airport, let alone the small airport station.
Review 94:Good restaurant. Friendly staff, who printed boarding cards for me. The bus service to the airport seemed to work OK. Hardly 4 star, but cheap and clean, so who cares for a night?
Review 95:Extremely quiet, clean and lovely place! The personnel is really friendly and highly supportive! We had a great time there and we would certainly visit it again!
Review 96:The staff where great every one of them went above and beyond to accommodate, extremely friendly and helpful will definitely stay there if i'm ever back in Bucharest
Review 97:No sign for this hotel on the main A60. A good job that I had a map.
Review 98:Attentive staff, comfortable beds, large room and hot bath. Staff always were on hand to help, English spoken. I would recommend this hotel as either a base or a stopover. Thank you fir looking after us.
Review 99:The place is obviously meant for other purposes... They invested more in chrome and purple decor and fancy showers with all kinds of massage effects, than in a good mattress (which was somewhat too soft). Still, the staff and helpfulness more than made up for that, as did the very reasonable price. In all, a good location for spending a night before take-off.
Review 100:Courteous, helpful and attentive staff, with someone available all night. Made us welcome despite a late check-in, offered food. Offered us breakfast even though we left before 4am to catch our flight. Very clean, and 3km from the airport which came in very handy.
Review 101:I liked the rooms and the bathroom ...the buffet style was very good ....the only little thing..change the coffee cups...we're already chipped and should have others to match their standards
Review 102:The staff was extremely friendly, hospitable and helpful. The room was large and comfortable, and very nicely decorated. We were picked up at and driven back to the airport at requested times for no extra charge. The price was very reasonable; it was quite a bit less than a chain hotel we have stayed at several times previously, but the room was nicer, and the price included free airport transfer. We would definitely recommend Amethyst House!
Review 103:I found the hotel on internet looking for a place to stay near the Otopeni airport. Location is very good, the hotel is very clean and the staff very helpful. They forgot to wake me up on time.
Review 104:the wireless signal is fair but it is still room for improvement.
Review 105:Cleanliness of rooms, quiet, close to the airport, perfect bed for a very good sleep, very pleasant staff and willing to help anytime!
Review 106:This is an excellent hotel if you are transitting from Bucharest. Adrian the Hotel Manager was extremely helpful in picking us up from the Airport, getting us a free room upgrade and setting up a really wholesome breakfast. We will definitely visit again when in Bucharest. Thanks Adrian
Review 107:The hotel is conveniently located near the airport and offers a free pick up and drop off at any time! Our room was nice and clean, with a very big bathroom. The stuff were chatty, polite and very helpful.
Review 108:Wifi in the new (second) destination was only available in the lobby (in my room - farthest away from the lobby - the signal was too weak) The swimming pool wasn't available (empty and covered - 09.2014)
Review 109:Free airport pickup and drop-off Very friendly and helpful personal Comfy bed The second destination is all new (09.2014) Free parking all along the street and in front of the hotels
Review 110:Too much amethyst color everywhere and too much kukareku early in the moorning:)
Review 111:Free Transfer from/to airport, we have arrived at 0200 am, close to airport, was not a problem to meet us, fast wifi, good breakfast, very friendly personnel.
Review 112:Shower room somehow inbuilt in the main room design with sliding doors that don't provide visual or audio intimacy - can be an issue when travelling as a couple or with friends. Although cheap long term parking is provided, they ask you for your car key in case they need to move it around in the garage/courtyard. A safety issue comes to mind...
Review 113:- Clean, decent sized rooms - Very comfortable bed mattress - Bathroom with basic toiletries - Robe and slippers provided - Cheap long term parking provided on the spot (3 euros/night) and free airport transfer.
Review 114:we reserved a room for two couples. Upon arrival, we were sent to another hotel building and lived in a rooms on the top floor. -One Of the rooms had separate beds, which were under the sloping low ceiling. every bed in a separate cell - In the second room also had a low ceiling, and I personally got 3 injuries in a very uncomfortable bathroom. - was NO wife, except reception zone - rooms were for 2 people, there was only 1 bathrobe and 1 slippers. - Breakfast was served in another building (distance 800 m)
Review 115:negative facts completely blocked the positive perception of this hotel.
Review 116:It was easy to get there using the ring road and it is near the airport. The drive into the centre of Bucharest was also very straightforward from here. The friendly, helpful staff plus new, clean facilities made it the best of the six places I stayed in this holiday.
Review 117:not staying at the place we booked
Review 118:they collected us and took us direct to different accommodation and back to the airport in the morning they paid the difference of the charge for the night
Review 119:the hotel should indicate we are staying in another building. we unpacked in the hotel's address, and then needed to repack the suitcases into the car and drive to the next street to the new building. The new building does not have a breakfast, need to go to the other building. The wifi conncetion is poor
Review 120:this is our 2nd stay, and this time our room was in the new building. Beautiful brand new room. A driver picked up my husband from the car rental after we returned our rented car, and drove us the next day to the airport. The hotel's location is excellent for travelling to the airport
Review 121:Breakfast is not worth 5 euro. I ordered the breakfast when I booked the room, and later learned that young children are not required to pay. The Euro-RON exchange rate they give is high, so you pay more than you should for the room (an exchange rate of 4.5 instead of 4.3)
Review 122:Friendly staff, nice room, very cool shower - my 5 year old son loved it. The hotel rooms and restaurant are purple - my 3 year old daughter loved it.
