Bedsheets were too short and lay loose on top of the mattrass. Water didn't work for a while, breakfast was only 3 very small danish + coffee from the shop in the foyer...

Building was nice in terms of history and grandeur. Wifi worked good, staff was a good combination of sovjet stubborn but still helpfull.

It was basic but basic is fine by me.

Stayed in March 2024

The central heating was not very good and the (very) long time running the taps before the hot water appeared was unfortunate

Full of old world charm, a real historic gem

Stayed in January 2024

Expect peeling window sills, ancient plumbing systems, and the classic “service with a scowl”, but that’s part of the package. It was subzero temperatures outside and there was no central heating or radiators, only the air-conditioning blasting up to 30! Also, it was written by the reception that hot water would only come out of the tap after letting the water run for 20 minutes - yes, *20 minutes*. An absolute failure for sustainability but probably the hotel is still saving money by not renewing the plumbing in the last 30+ years.

I booked this hotel mainly to see what it would have been like to stay in this old-world-style hotel, and it certainly didn’t disappoint. Joking aside, the location is pretty good (well connected by bus 30 to the airport), the decor of the lobby is quite grand, and the room is very quiet due to the thick stone walls.

it was too cold in the room a very old CRT Television

location, cleanness, the rooms size, beds.

Stayed in January 2024

The fridge is old. But TVset is older then the fridge.

The breakfast was almost Ok. I liked the location.

Stayed in September 2023

Breakfast is small but convenient for those focusing on exploring the city rather than spending time on a table.

The hotel offers a very nice old school atmosphere. It's definitely a place to recommend for those looking for experiences off the beaten track.

Hotel restaurant 'Crama' a joke - better serving as a bomb shelter - maybe it did? Breakfast barely exists, though the lady who makes the coffee and pastries is smiley. Older man on reception really couldn't care less in respect of customer service - you will be an inconvenient interruption while he seeks to find identify one good reason he's still employed... nothing yet. There are better value hotels in Chisinau.

I do like old semi-derelict Soviet-style hotels. The graffiti on the hotel walls, juxtaposed with stains of dried vomit on the pavement add to the vibe. In truth, the tired rooms and decor are OK, and the aircon works, and so do the lifts. The location, walking distance from the train station, and handy for trolleybus 30 to the airport, mean I would stay here again. There's even a half decent bar just across the road and Jack's Bar, a little farther, does good food. The young woman on reception is very helpful, unlike her older male counterpart, who seems to be there for no apparent reason, save to as a nod to a customer-hostile former Soviet patriarchal status quo.

The shower didn't have a curtain for some reason, so the bathroom floor got really wet.

The staff was very helpful and let us check in earlier. We were very grateful for that as we'd had a very early flight. The room was simple, but spacious and clean. We had everything we needed. The location is convenient. It's close to the railway station and it's very easy to get to the airport from the hotel.

Stayed in April 2023

No hot water and not even a shower curtain in the bathroom. Heating also didn't work well so it was cold in the room.

Perfect location, beautiful retro hotel with spacious rooms.

Stayed in February 2023

Just the hot water took a while

I liked the soveit theme of it, proper USSR hotel, if your into you will like it, only problem was the hot water took long to heat up for a shower, building is really impressive and nice staff very friendly and cheerful

Stayed in January 2023

The location is great, the rooms are well-maintained and the staff is exceptionally kind.

Stayed in September 2022

so old furniture and everything in room dirty curtains, no mosquito net, but it’s smell in rooms,

nice location

Stayed in August 2022

The hotel was in need of general maintenance. The carpet was terrible. The elevator was small and only one of 2 worked. The bathroom had no shower curtain for the tub. Fixes were jerry-rigged instead of being done properly.

The room was spacious and the hotel was conveniently located. The free breakfast at the nearby café was bonus. The staff was very accommodating for our needs.

Stayed in August 2022

3rd floor needs renovation. There was no hot water in bathroom.

Safe parking for car.

Stayed in July 2022

It’s very old fashioned. Repair needed

Stayed in May 2022

The staff were sullen except for one lovely lady at reception.

The Soviet Era feel to the hotel. it’s like being back in 1970. That has a certain magic and nostalgia..

Stayed in April 2022

Considering what they offer, I think this place could be a bit cheaper

Perfect place if you're looking to stay in an hotel which somehow bring you back to the Chisinau of the '80s and '90s. Very big rooms!

Stayed in March 2022

No hot water or heating Breakfast very basic and small

Good location

Stayed in November 2021

No hot water in Room 420, despite mentioning. Central Heating doesnt work but electric heater sufficed.

Check in, staff helpful and breakfast served next door was good.

Stayed in November 2021

Warm water took ages to get there. That is the main drawback.

the location is fine. Room size ok. quietness was good.

Stayed in September 2021

The staff. The people on reception were pleasant, friendly, efficient and helpful.
