I had a mixed experience at the Intercontinental Athenee Palace Bucharest. While I appreciated the attentive service and central location, I initially struggled with room issues, particularly the air conditioning. Thankfully, I was transferred to a more comfortable room with a lovely view. The breakfast was a highlight, but it was quite busy during peak hours, making it challenging to find a seat.
