Directions

Rail:It is very easy to reach the hostel if you travel by train (Gara de Nord Station): - 700m from the Train Station Gara de Nord. As soon as you leave the train, head towards the end of the train tracks, and where the rail tracks end just keep going on the same directions along the central hallway. You will arrive in front of the main exit/entrance of Gara de Nord: turn right under the tall columns and go ahead, along the Witing Street. At the end, you have to turn left on Plevnei St. and then left again on Mircea Vulcanescu (former Stefan Furtuna St). The hostel is the first house on the left. The whole walk will be 5-10 minutes and it makes no sense to take a cab or any public transportation. The hostel could be reached also from some other variants, depending on your needs: - From 30m to 200m from the hostel, there are the stations of various public transportation vehicles (busses 123, 133 and trolley-busses: 62, 71, 85, 93, 96) - At 900m there is another Eroilor Metro Station (see the map for directions to the hostel).
Airport:From the Otopeni Airport you may reach our hostel in 2 ways: 1. by taxi - I would advice you to take Fly taxi - it is better then any other offer of private taxi driver. If they use the meter, then the total cost to our hostel should be approx. 60RON. If you have the possibility to order a cab from a mobile phone, you may call the number of the Taxi 2000 Company: 0040219494. 2. by bus - there is the express bus 783 (2 trips ticket = 5RON), it is leaving every 15 minutes during week days and every 30 minutes during week-ends, from around 5.00 a.m. up to 11:00 p.m. You should leave the buss at the Piata Romana ( Romana Square ) and get a taxi to the hostel - if they use the meter should be about 5RON. From the Baneasa Airport you can reach the hostel by public transportation in a few different ways: - from the airport you take the bus 131 to Piata Victoriei and from there u can take the metro to Gara de Nord (this is the main train station). From here, there is a 5-7 minutes walk to the hostel (in case you choose this variant, print the map included here and follow the instructions. - or you can get off the 131 bus at Piata Romana (this is the end of this bus line, one station further from Piata Victoriei). From here you can walk to the hostel directly, taking Dacia Boulevard against the crossing with Calea Victoriei (this is one of the main Boulevards in Bucharest). If you walk straight ahead on Dacia against Calea Victoriei, after the crossing with Victoriei, you will reach another crossing with Calea Grivitei - this is where the Mircea Vulcanescu St. starts, going along the same direction as Dacia.
