This is a fantastic hostel. Super comfortable and clean. Privacy curtains and strong shower. It is the most comfortable hostel I've been at. It did not seem like a social hostel to me, the vibe is friendly but most travelers seem to be there for a long time, have their routine and do not seem interested into socializing. That said, you can definitely meet interesting people!

    The staff are incredibly thoughtful, helpful and friendly. The hostel will also accept payment in other currencies than Leu such as GBP or USD so you don't have to panic getting cash exchanged if you arrive late, additionally they will also help to arrange a taxi from the airport for a cheaper rate than offered by the airport taxi company. There are also tours available to Transnistria that can be booked solo or as groups.

    everything, the room was a bit cold but that's all, but for this money it was ok. The building is beautiful with many common places where you can hang out, read, watch a movie, talking, whatever what you want. The location is close, the hostel is clean, cheap. They give you a towel too. And I really loved the "nightstand" next to my bed.

    Great location, short walking distance to Stefan cel Mare Boulevard, Strada Bucuresti, Dinamo Stadium and the beautiful Dendrariu Park. Felt safe to walk around even during late evenings. Staff is fantastic and always helpful. Lunch and dinner at the restaurant downstairs is very good, with wonderful Moldovan/Romanian/Ukrainian dishes.

    This hostel is definitely the best option for budget-travelers. The location is ideal, in the very heart of Chisinau (pronounced "Key She Now"). The hostel is clean and quiet, with a great staff. There's a big supermarket next-door. By law, alcohol is sold until 10pm. There's also an amazing gym next-door, very well equipped and cheap.
