- Guestus.comJune 8, 2015Housed in a renovated 1903 building of 1000 sq.m.. The bistro on the 6th floor has excellent Old Town views. Really worth visiting for the building itself, books offer not amazing.
- Işıl DApril 5, 2018I think it is one of the cutest book stores I’ve seen so far. On top floor there is a cafe where you can enjoy a glass of wine or a cup of herbal tea. I would surely visit this place again next time.
- Iren LazarovaAugust 18, 2016Inspiring place in the historic part of Bucurest. Beautiful architecture, wide range of art, music, books and presents
- RossHelen PhotographersJuly 7, 2015Very nice and big book store with interesting travel and cook book in English also. There is also cafe where you can drink tasty cappuccino and read your new book
- Se7enthAngelApril 11, 20231 of the most beautiful, well stocked bookshop I have seen so far. An absolute must for any literary traveler & the upper level has a plant filled bistro. The closest Metro stop: Universitate
- Ργκσανδρα ΑθανασιουJanuary 2, 2016beautiful restauration of an old building - very nice book shop with stationery and gadget shop too and a nice bar on the upper floor!
- I like the place, but maybe if they would have more books you would have a deeper feeling that you are in a bookstore! It is worth going in and enjoy the light!
- Ana TimofeiAugust 2, 2016Top floor bistro with delicious selection of lemonades. I had the ginger one and it was perfect. There are machines to help you search the titles, quite helpful. I was very wowed by the place!
- Olya MalinovskayaMay 31, 2016Stunning bookstore in the centrum of Bucharest. Don't miss a chance to drink coffee or cocktail on the last floor.
- Lavinia TMarch 11, 2015The architectural design and the overall setting make you feel good, but the book selection could have been richer.
- Stefan AlexandruJune 7, 2016A beautiful place in the old city center of Bucharest! The architecture is amazing, there are many books, you can even drink something. A must see!
- PierreMarch 27, 2016The most beautiful book store in Bucharest. The space is so well designed that it's just worth checking it out.
- sara vMarch 23, 2017Amazing book store and cafe in the old town. Sells lots of different things. Great interior, unfortunately no reliable Wi-Fi. On the expensive side.
- Geninna A.December 29, 2015Wow! Looks more like a mansion. Great book selection, lots of trinkets as well. I like how carturesti sells romanian made products.
- Nikholys SolstekSeptember 20, 2015Books appear to be secondary in the whole ensemble while the handrails dominate the building of one's impression (you can't go past that detail). Can only say I'm happy such hospital exists.
- OlivianFebruary 11, 2016Amazing place! The selection is truly impressive and the design just draws you in an makes you wanna' spend hours there!
- EuripidesMay 5, 2016This is the best bookstore in Romania and one of the most beautiful in Europe. Great variety, stylish decoration
- Sebastian PetrescuApril 5, 2015One of the best gift shops in town. For books you'll better go on amazon. :-)
- Expat In BucharestJuly 11, 2016If you're in the old town well worth a visit for the architecture alone.
- Suzana ZevriNovember 2, 2015The library is beautiful and well organised, but a bit pricy. It's worth a visit for sure.
- Radu DumitrescuNovember 7, 2016Great lemonade at top floor. Visit this one for the architecture alone. Great book and movie/music selection as well!
- Cosmin VoineaAugust 31, 2019Probably one of the best looking bookshops in the world. The best in town, for sure
- Sam LopezNovember 30, 2017It's a great place to browse even if you're not in the market for a book or gift or a little something for yourself.
- Terēze VaivodeAugust 24, 2018What a building! Not the widest selection of English books, but well wort the visit 👌
- biegunwschodni.pl - travel blogJuly 17, 2015Good traditional romanian food. Nice staff. Lunch menu for 22 lei.
- Alexa SferleFebruary 24, 2015Great urban destination. However: overpriced bistro and a rather dissapointing supply of books.
- Iulia OpreaApril 6, 2015Nice architectural design, good tea, and a poor selection of books. This place is overrated.
- Matei P.February 14, 2015Feels like you're in Europe. Well executed restoration. And nice selection of books. Don't forget the cafe on top...
