Lido Hotel

Operating since 1930, this grand old hotel is a good alternative if the Hotel Capsa is full, or has suddenly raised its rates substantially (Lido will happily provide discounts if you call ahead). Guest rooms, done out in faux-Venetian style with painted wood and a pale color palette, are comfortable enough but have a slightly faded feel; while these could do with a refurb the bathrooms are looking good, with combination tub/shower. One of the best reasons to stay here is the spectacle of city life from the tiny balconies overlooking busy General Mageru Boulevard -- pure Bucharest (depending on your fancy, the housekeepers, who all seem to resemble supermodels and work in ridiculously short skirts, are another).
