NOTE: REVIEW PERTAINS TO THE "RIN" NOT THE "RIN EXPRESS." A very nice experience. I booked the RIN Express (the budget hotel) but they upgraded me to the standard RIN at no extra charge as the Express hotel was being remodeled. Staff were very polite and friendly, and spoke English well (I speak very little Romanian). The hotel is within walking distance of Henri Coanda Airport (though a shuttle is available) and close to a bus stop that heads straight into the center of Bucharest. Hotel was very clean and comfortable. The only thing I had to laugh at was the free city map provided in the room, which features ads for escort services and erotic massage parlors! Other than that, it seems like a high quality place.
I was only in Bucharest for less than 24 hours, so I had to get to the hotel quickly, take a shower, and get into town quickly to do some sight-seeing. And the next morning, get back to the airport quickly for my flight to Tbilisi. The RIN was perfectly positioned. There is an ATM in the lobby so I could get Romanian Lei before my bus ride into town.
