Volo Hotel

Our room on the top floor was excellent with a balcony and a lounge window with views across to the Parliament Palace and elsewhere. We walked down always but used the lift that took no time going up the (8?) floors. The location was good for sightseeing and the Old Town. The staff were friendly and Corina was very helpful in allocating us our balcony view room 4 weeks before when we booked. Sadly, I got food poisoning in the first night. I had eaten breakfast elsewhere (in our Targoviste hotel) - with seemingly no problem - and then ate nothing until the (rich tasting) duck breast in the Distrikt 42 restaurant, in the Old Town area of Strada Sfantul Dumitru, around 9pm. I then fell ill when I woke later and was up 4 times in the night. That meant that I missed breakfast the first morning and ate sparsely on the second so can't really rate that. I am sure it was good for those able to indulge!

A kettle/coffee machine would have been good for my (not ill) partner. The wifi failed to allow me to pick up any internet radio stations (I wanted Radio Caroline) on my tablet although all our other 4 Romanian hotels had allowed this. Strange. I was able to check emails though so had a signal.
