“good value”
very pleasant stay! i'll admit i was dreading it — a previous hostel experience had left its mark — but options were limited so i committed. glad i did. checked in early around 8am, left my backpack, and came back at 3pm exhausted and ready to horizontal. the dorm was shared with other girls who got a bit noisy at times, but honestly nothing unbearable. shower and toilet were perfectly fine, no complaints. obviously this isn't the four seasons, but for the price and the very convenient location it's a great shout. sometimes you just need to trust the process.

Host super kind and welcoming. Matress very comfortable (much more than mine at home!). Girls room is provided with beds which can be covered by tents as well as towels. It is very close to the centre and to ne of the main streets crossing the city where most buses go. In the room you also have a locker to put your stuff. the girls bathroom was quite clean. You should go in this hoste, and is also very cheap!

Good and cheap option in Chisinau. It's clean and comfortable. I stayed there for 4 nights. If you are visiting with the car, there is always free parking available on the streets around. They offer laundry washing for 100 lei.

“Amazing staff”
The staff! They were the most professional and helpful ever. I had a little bit of emergency event and they went beyond their way to make sure everything is okay with me. Haven’t experienced this care before. Location is great too! Very kind people!
