Adresa: Gara de Nord, Bucuresti, Romania. Localitate: Bucuresti.

Bucharest North railway station (Romanian: București Gara de Nord) is the main railway station in Bucharest and the largest railway station in Romania. The vast majority of mainline trains to and from Bucharest originate from Gara de Nord.

History[edit]

The station was built between 1868-1872, the foundation stone was set on 10 September 1868 in the presence of Carol I of Romania. The building is designed as a U-shaped structure. The first railways between Roman - Galați - Bucharest - Pitești were put in service on 13 September 1872. Between 1895-1896 a new wing of the station was built, which included a 'Royal hall' due to the visit of Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria-Hungary.^[1] It was initially named Gara Târgoviștei, after the road nearby, Calea Târgoviștei ('Târgoviște Road', nowadays Calea Griviței) and took its current name in 1888.

The station and its surroundings were heavily bombed by the Allies in April 1944 during a campaign aimed at the Axis supply lines, since the station played an important part in the Romanian railway network and was the main departure point for troops headed to the Eastern Front.^{[citation needed]}

Under communist times, the station received a number of upgrades, such as a footbridge (1950s or 1960s), partial electrification on 16 February 1969, and then an expansion between 1978 and 1984 and complete electrification. It is still upgraded as of today, having received a platform overhaul (replacement of tiles with asphalt from 2006 to 2010), removal of the footbridge (replaced with Basarab Overpass in 2009) and, in 2018, removal of the original split-flap displays with LED ones.

Current status[edit]

There are currently 14 tracks and 8 platforms.

As of 2009, Gara de Nord served about 200 trains, including domestic trains operated by Căile Ferate Române, Regiotrans and Trans Feroviar calatori as well international trains to Hungary - Budapest, Bulgaria - Sofia, Varna and Burgas, Republic of Moldova - Chișinău, Ukraine - Kiev, Dnipro and Chernivtsi, Austria - Vienna, Turkey - Istanbul, Russia - Moscow and Saratov, Belarus - Minsk.

The station is served by several bus ( lines 105, 123,133,178,182,205,282 and express line 780 which links the railway station with the Henry Coandă Airport) trolleybus (65, 79 and 86 on Grivița side and 62,85,93,96 on The Columnes side) and tram lines (42,45,46 on Grivița side and 44 on Dinicu Golescu side), as well as the Gara de Nord metro station. Also, the station is connected by CFR train to Henri Coandă International Airport.

Very polite and smiling staff from the reception to the restaurant! Especially Alexandru at the reception.

site offers was with free parking, but realy I have paid 55 ron/day when I've check-out.

had a pleasant stay

Cosmin D. Solo - 01/05/2019 AccorHotels certified review

i had a pleasant stay, the hotel is in a very good area, very central, the front desk and cleaning staff were very polite i enjoyed it and i ll be back soon

Friendly staff, good location, clean room, but..

Gabriel Solo - 25/04/2019 AccorHotels certified review

Couple of nights in a row, I was not able to sleep (even on one night I called the reception at 3 in the morning). Putting whole (sporting) teams on the same floor, let to significant noise. Hopefully this remains on an incident as I plan to stay in this hotel in the future. Not being able to use my Accor points while booking a room is also disappointing for an Accor member.

Good location but better maintenance needed

U. M. Solo - 24/04/2019 AccorHotels certified review

Overall, the hotel is just an average. Hotel staff is very helpful but hotel facility, such as broken refridgerator in the room has to be fixed.

Good location but the hotel facilities needed renovation

justnippon Solo travel - 21/04/2019 TripAdvisor review

This hotel is good for those who wish to travel by train to other cities as it is in a walking distance to the major train station. The hotel itself is outdated and needs to be renovated. Mini fridge in my room is broken and it seems like that for long time.

Bad experience

E K. Families - 19/04/2019 AccorHotels certified review

Personally for us it was a very unpleasant experience. Had to pay for our room twice at the reception although we booked the room and checked in online and received an email that our keys will be waiting for us at the reception. Instead after a long tiring trip, we were received as if we were not supposed to be there, forced to pay for the room again with the explanation that what we paid online was only a payment to secure the room. I and my 7 year old with special needs were too tired from a long trip to keep arguing about it so I had to pay so that my son can rest. I was very surprised to find out that there was no room service available so we had to come down to get our dinner. When we came to the restaurant to order a hot meal we yet had another unpleasant experience from the restaurant staff. The staff told us that the restaurant is full (although it clearly wasn't) and reserved only for foreign delegates so again we were literally forced to stay outside and use only the self catering service with cold and poorly made food. Meanwhile a gentleman in a suit came and he was treated differently with more respect and given the option to access the restaurant. We felt absolutely shocked and dejected. Had to go out and eat something properly although we were very tired and it was very late already. At the checkout the new staff at the reception were still unfriendly, and the naturally expected smile or a few words like 'hope you had a good stay' or something like that weren't said, the lady just collected our keys and said bye. The only good thing I can say about the hotel is that the room was clean and the housekeeping and maintenance staff were very nice, polite and prompt on call. Overall, very disappointed, bad experience from the moment we went in, felt unwelcome - would not recommend to anyone, unless you are a foreign person (not a Romanian) or a person in expensive suit, then maybe you can get more attention and fair treatment.

B. C. Business - 17/04/2019 AccorHotels certified review

Furniture and equipments(AC) would need some attention/repairs.

Comfortable staying

Simos P Couples - 17/04/2019 TripAdvisor review

Large and comfortable hotel, a stone's throw away from the train station. Near the center, 25 minutes on foot, but also with many buses and trams that take you to this. The room is large enough with work desk and sofa. The bed is also large with a comfortable mattress and nice duvets. Room temperature very satisfactory. The breakfast is good enough in buffet, and with great variety.

The hotel needs renovation

Veli Business - 12/04/2019 AccorHotels certified review

I'm a non-smoker. I forgot to specify a non-smoking room while I was making the reservation via Accor Hotel website, but the reception didn't ask me either whether I prefer a non-smoking or. smoking room. Soon after I entered the room nr 835, I realized that it was a smoking room. Since I checked-in at midnight and was too tired, I didn't go down and asked to change my room. In my opinion, all reservations should be non-smoking by default and the reseption should ask about it.

Two nights stay at Ibis Gare de Nord Bucharest

Bhuban P. Families - 12/04/2019 AccorHotels certified review

Good stay for two nights, clean rooms, clean bathroom, polite and helpful staffs at reception

The hotel needs renovation

veli0707 Solo travel - 10/04/2019 TripAdvisor review

I stayed in the room nr. 835. The room needs renovation, especially the bathroom. I have not specified a non-smoking room during my online reservation. The reception didn't ask me either whether I was preferring a smoking or non-smoking room. Soon after I entered the room, I realized that it was a smoking room. Since I checked-in at midning and was too tired, I didn't want to ask them to change my room. In my opinion, all reservations should be non-smoking by default.

Feeling Like Home

soring89 Business - 09/04/2019 TripAdvisor review

I am already a regular customer of the hotel. Due to its always clean rooms, its excellent location in town (100 m from the underground line) and its professional and friendly staff I always come back with great pleasure.

Extremely Satisfied

Ken H. Business - 05/04/2019 AccorHotels certified review

The hotel is clean and well presented. It is very close to the main train station so you can walk around to it like I did. The front desk has always been helpful and I have always felt welcome. I normally arrive very late in the evening from an overseas flight and have found it safe and taxi drivers always know where it is at. It is close to the underground if you want to stay longer and explore Bucharest. Rooms are comfortable clean and quite. Extremely Satisfied and will be staying their again

Beautiful Musical Room

Andrei Business - 03/04/2019 AccorHotels certified review

The Special Musical Room was beautiful, reminded me of the Vinil days of Music, cleaning could improve, there was no cleaning in the room for two days, i think they do not have the turnover service in the afternoon. Bar and restaurant excellent. They also have smoking rooms but for me they did not recommend it(because of the smell).

Pleasant, normal

Raluca V. Business - 26/03/2019 AccorHotels certified review

A normal experience in a hotel. Thank you very much for asking.

Bad

Hatim A. Solo - 25/03/2019 AccorHotels certified review

Not very pleasant

Imtiaz H. Business - 24/03/2019 AccorHotels certified review

The hotel is quite dated and it does need to be updated. The toilet seat was broken.

Something to be improved

Anna H. L. Couples - 24/03/2019 AccorHotels certified review

The location is fine closing to the main train station & going to airport by bus also easy. Hotel room is spacious, lots of compartments for storage of belongs, bed is comfortable and clean. The negative point is reception staff who did not beforehand told the guest printed train tickets or documents to be paid the service charges, one lei for one paper was also not reasonable, I was surprised that needed to pay in Accor group hotels for printing documents as I always stayed at Accord hotels in the past years.
