Ibis hotel was opened in 1974 in Bordeaux.
The first Ibis hotel opened in Romania in 2001, and we couldn't miss the chance to test it.
The hotel is situated at only 200 m from the main railway station in Bucharest, Gara de Nord.
Right across from the hotel there is a subway station as well as a tram station. I would recommend using the subway as it is the fastest way to move around, the trains are quite modern and they take you almost anywhere in the city.
The trams might be an interesting way of traveling around for those who live in countries which took out the tram system and some lines are "fast trams" which means they have special tracks and normally do not get stuck in traffic.

Alternatively, if you want to ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Rouen (France)
I first saw Hotel du Nord as part of a double bill with a film by Jean Renoir (I forget which - though I think the brilliant Le Crime De Monsieur Lange) and I was frankly going to see the Renoir film and thought, hmmm, I'll just have to sit through Hotel du Nord and grin and bear it. Something about the film just really didn't appeal. Then right from the opening shot that tracks down from the bridge over the canal Saint Martin and along the side of the canal to where the two lovers, played by Annabella and Jean-Pierre Aumont, settle against one another on a bench, despairing and apparently doomed I simply didn't look back. I couldn't.
Since that Sunday afternoon I have always had something of a soft spot for Hotel du Nord. It is firmly placed in the traditional of French cinema of the thirties. Like his contemporaries, Renoir ...
