Directions

From the train station: take buses nr. 79, 133 or 86 and get off at the "Piata Romana" stop. Once you get off the bus, keep walking in the same direction, turn right at the first small crossing, and right again at the next one. You should now be on the Biserica Amzei street, the street the hostel is on. You will pass a bar named Tonka, which will be on your right, and then you will arrive at the French Embassy’s guard booth, also on your right. We are exactly across the street from the booth, at number 22, a black iron bar door. You will also see there the hostel sign on the black iron bar door.

From the airports (Baneasa and Otopeni) : Take bus number 131 or 301 (only from Baneasa), or the express bus 783 (from both airports) to the "Piata Romana" stop. Once you get off the bus, keep walking in the same direction, turn right at the first small crossing. You should now be on the Biserica Amzei street, the street the hostel is on. You will pass a bar named Tonka, which will be on your right, and then you will arrive at the French Embassy’s guard booth, also on your right. We are exactly across the street from the booth, at number 22, a black iron bar door. You will also see there the hostel sign on the black iron bar door.

LANDMARK: we are right accross the street from the French Embassy's guard booth, at no. 22. Once you've found no. 22, enter the black iron gate and you will find the sign for the hostel.

The hostel is very easy to find but if you are still confused about how to get here, please check the map and if you still can't find it, show anyone on the street the address (and NOT the name of the hostel) and they will tell you where we are.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!!!!

REMEMBER: 1 EURO=3.50~3.80 LEI/RON/NEW LEI (THEY ARE ALL THE SAME THING)

There is a guy who scams travelers in Bucharest, please watch out for him and help us catch him!!! He is blond, tall, well dressed and speaks very good English, he says his name is Albert and he is Israeli.

He will sometimes tell you that Bucharest is dangerous and you should go with him, he will take you to a safer place/or the bus stop to Brasov cause that is safer. He also sometimes tells you that in our hostel has been a murder one night before and that you shouldn’t come here.

His usual story is that everything in Bucharest is closed for 3 days and you have to hurry up if you want to buy things or tickets . He then wants to take you to the “tourist park” and the taxi (it is probably a taxi hired by him) will charge you 300 lei (~90 euros) for a 5 minute taxi ride and take you back for the same price.

We need your help with this. Please try and get the NAME of the company or/and PLATE NUMBER of the taxi or a PICTURE of the guy!
