JW Marriott Bucharest Grand Hotel
The staff was very nice. The room was small I send a message to the hotel, asking for pickup at the airport but never got a reply The sauna was adjacent to the lockers room, which for me was a minus. It would have been nice with the sauna adjacent to the pool i stedet
