Best Hotels Near the Bucharest Airport (2025 Update)

Today, I’m sharing the best hotels near the Bucharest Airport (aka Henri Coanda or OTP): everything from budget-friendly stays to stylish 4-star properties offering free airport shuttles and some extra comfort.

A short stay near the airport can make the difference when you’re catching an early flight or just passing through Romania’s capital. You’re still a 20-minute drive away from the center (if there’s no traffic) and a taxi/Uber would cost around €6-7. So still not a lot.

If you’re in a hurry, here are my top picks. Read on to get all the details and make a more educated choice.

Note: I’ve included links to these hotels that earn me a small commission if you book through them – at no extra cost to you. My opinions remain unbiased. I’ve chosen these places because I genuinely believe they’re worth your time and money.

Now, let’s find a few more things about my recommended hotels near the Bucharest International Airport Henri Coanda!

1. Vienna House Easy – My Top Choice

Vienna House Hotel in Bucharest

If you want something fancy, but still decently prices, while being close to the OTP Airport, then Vienna House is your best choice.

I really like this 4-star hotel because it has soundproofed rooms with air conditioning and free WiFi internet, as well as a minibar, safe and tea and coffee making facilities in all rooms.

The said rooms are spacious, modern and clean, while the beds are extremely comfortable, so you will definitely rest well while there.

They also offer free shuttle service to and from the airport, as well as a lot of other goodies, like a sauna and fitness center, a la carte restaurant, laundry & dry cleaning, and much, much more.

As a plus, this is the closest hotel to the airport on my list, being within walking distance to the terminals. Another reason to appreciate the soundproofed rooms!

2. Pensiunea Casa Verde – Best Budget Option

We’re in 3-star territory now, with a very cheap option that’s close to the Bucharest Airport, but a bit farther away than the other recommendations.

Pensiunea Casa Verde translates to “Green House,” and the property is styled to match that name. Think of a warm, wood-accented interior that feels homey and very Romanian, like a cabin in the mountains – as you can see in my photos above.

The rooms aren’t huge, but they’re comfortable and clean. Some folks really enjoy the outdoor area, where you can fire up a barbecue if the weather’s nice.

The biggest problem is that it doesn’t offer a free (or paid) shuttle to the airport, but a taxi or Uber should be around €5 anyway, so probably not a huge extra expense.

3. Hotel Otopeni – Budget-friendly Alternative

A basic place, which makes it extra cheap, Otopeni Hotel is perfect for you especially if you like red tones (as they have a lot of them!) and are on a limited budget.

The quality of the services and rooms is decent, to say the least – and that’s what matters the most in my opinion.

The rooms are well equipped and clean, with nice bathrooms as well as air conditioning and cable TV. The furniture is and feels cheap, but it serves its purpose and I have no complaints about it.

I also appreciate that they offer free airport transfers, as well as the option to order an early breakfast if you’re leaving early in the morning so you won’t leave on an empty stomach.

I also like that the staff is well trained and can speak good English, while being friendly and helpful if you need them.

It’s also just a stone’s throw away from the airport and it’s also near Water Park Otopeni, one of the biggest water parks in Romania. That’s a fun bonus if you have a free afternoon to relax in the pool before or after your flight (only during the summer).

4. Rin Airport Hotel – Great Luxury Hotel

If you need even more facilities during your stay, then your best bet is with Rin Airport Hotel – a 4 star hotel that has a beautiful spa area with an amazing indoor pool, as well as hot tub and fitness facilities – all included in the price.

The rooms are huge and nice, with minibar, air conditioning and free WiFi, while the hotel itself has two restaurants and two bars. They also run free airport shuttles every hour at no charge.

Free access to the aforementioned Water Park Otopeni is also provided during the summer – so you get a nice bonus when you book (double check to be sure the offer still stands)!

So overall, you’re getting a real bang for your buck if you choose this hotel. Definitely check it out, as it’s a really, really good hodouble-checktel that offers everything you may want from a short stay near the Bucharest Airport.

More Bucharest Hotels near the airport

The recommendations above are the closest to the airport, but I still have more for you, if you’re ready to be some 10-minutes of driving away from the Henri Coanda airport.

I personally recommend choosing one of the hotels below if you’re spending more days in the city and you don’t need to be within walking distance to the airport. This way, you’re also closer to the main attractions in Bucharest or those in the Old town area.

Crystal Palace Hotel

This is the closest hotel to the city on our list. This is also our favorite hotel – we always stay here when we need to get to the airport at odd hours (and we always seem to fly out at 4AM for some reason).

We actually book the room in the photo above – they replace the chair with a smaller, yet comfortable bed for our son. Awesome!

There’s also a nice desk area just around the corner, but it’s not visible in the photo. The room is huge, clean and the beds comfortable – a pleasure to stay there!

We never had a single problem and always loved the service, the cleanliness… everything.

They are also really modern, while the location itself is extremely silent and close to shops and restaurants – we always walk to the nearby Promenada Mall and enjoy the nice cheap food there (and the delicious ice cream).

All rooms feature free wireless internet, individually controlled air-conditioning, minibar, safe and a flat-screen TV with cable channels. Guests have free access to the Health Club, including a fitness center, a sauna and a hot tub.

It’s really the best option if you want to be located in a nice area and still be close to the airport. You’re basically in the middle between Bucharest’s city center and the Otopeni Airport itself.

They also offer airport shuttle service for an extra fee (but you end up paying less if you take a taxi, to be honest – just ask the person at the reception desk to call one for you).

A beautiful hotel that’s my top recommendation if you don’t really need to be within walking distance to the airport (you still have the options above if you do).

Hotel Baneasa Parc

Hotel Baneasa Parc is a great choice for those who want a bit of both worlds: proximity to the city center and the airport as well.

Its location is in a green area and features a welcoming garden. It offers 3-star rooms that include air conditioning and Romania’s famously fast Wi-Fi. The staff is polite and helpful, and there’s a restaurant on-site if you don’t feel like going out (although you should, as there are better options in the area or in the Old Town).

Those who enjoy tennis will appreciate the court available on the premises. The airport shuttle isn’t free, but at least it’s an option.

  1. Ha, I stayed at the Rin Otopeni last May for a night until I could get to my apartment and it was good. I accidentally left my phone in the lobby and went back a few hours later and they had it safely kept for me. For my trip this May the Rin was booked so I am staying at a different hotel and I will choose it from your list.
