Mereni accommodation from NZ$158

This place is SO luxurious! We stayed here for one night to catch a flight the next day. This is a 4 minute walk to the Preciziei metro stop, which means we were able to go from the metro stop (switch lines at Eroilor) to Gara Nord, then take the train to the airport! Don't do that during rush hour, but our Sunday morning journey was super pleasant and not too crowded. This is also a great metro line for a lot of tourist activities, so it's a great choice in location if you're confident with a metro. Check in was at a staffed front desk and they are certainly well-prepared for English-speaking tourists. The room itself was huge, way more impressive than I thought, and extremely clean. We had dinner on the balcony which felt very secure and safe (unlike other rickety balconies I've experienced). The room had a big AC unit which worked really well, even in the June 2026 heat wave. It does have that thing where you put the card key in a slot by the door to turn on the lights and AC in the room, which means everything turns off when you leave. This obviously makes sense, but I selfishly wanted the AC to keep running while we grabbed a food delivery. Not a big deal, and the alternative would be wasteful. This was really one of, if not THE nicest hotel rooms I've stayed in. We didn't use any of the other amenities there like the pool or breakfast, but honestly the room alone is worth it.
