Romania

Accommodation:
Brasov: The Bella Muzica (www.bellamuzica.ro) is a delightful, recently renovated 3-star right on the main square (~70E/night). It's beautifully appointed and perfect for couples (which I wasn't).
Bucharest: Recommend the Hotel Rembrandt (www.rembrandt.ro), in the Historicla district (~80E/night). Again recently renovated, great service, and well-located for tourist stuff.
Restaurants and Nightlife:
Charme is a nice place for a drink and snacks, in the historic centre.
Fratelli is a hopping and packed nightclub with a good mix of friendly locals and reasonably upscale crowd. Music is a mix of recent pop mixes, but later in the night trends to local music and 80's hits.
Bamboo is a more "Moscow-style" nightclub, with the usual accoutrements (go-go dancers, lasers, girls in microskirts, local minigarchs, etc). Has great location on lake and has swimming pools.
