The Midland Youth Hostel is very easy and fast to reach, and within 10 minutes walking distance from our place, you can find a supermarket , bistros and restaurants, bars and clubs ( we are located in the bar/club zone of Bucharest), money exchange houses, travel agencies, train tickets agencies, banks, to say nothing of one of the oldest and most beautiful parks in Bucharest , the Cismigiu Park, which is only 1 minute away from our hostel. Staying here , you will be maximum 5 minutes away from the main points of interest of the capital: the famous House of People ( now called The Palace of the Parliament), Vlad Tepes' old palace, the National Theatre, the Opera house, the University, etc.
The Midland 1 sleeps 22 in 2 rooms.
Orange (10 bed room) and Red ( 12 bed room).
Things to keep in mind:
We have had some comments from guests regarding the following issues, so we are just trying to make them clear for everyone
-Smoking is IS ALLOWED in the kitchen/common area.
-There is air conditioning in all rooms but it is not ON all the time , if you need it , you just have to ask the staff to turn it on.
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. We need you to make believe that you trust him and try and take a picture of him because there is no other way we can go to the police with this matter. So far we have nothing of him
conditions: Right now , we have 2 rooms. Orange (10 bed room) is quieter and darker, it is for late sleepers or light sleepers. Red (12 bed room) gives onto the main street , which makes it a bit noisier and a lot brighter.We have dark curtains , of course, so don't worry too much about getting blinded by the sunshine!
