Convenient location within a walking distance from the city center, friendly and helpful staff and nice and clean premises. Stellar home base for a trip to Chisinau, Tiraspol and neighboring areas. Recommended.

Was not impressed.The Mo. staff was friendly and helpful however the American working there is living there and working for free apparently and allowed to have his Mo.gf accompany him during the night in his room, not sure how he pulled that off but if I am req. 2 go out at 10pm to collect the funds to pay for my stay as he required me to, then I think he should have to pay as well.Since we both spoke English I asked of him to accompany me and show me around and got the cold shoulder each time.

A great, very clean hostel, with super-helpful staff. The location is about 1 km outside the center, but it is still a very good location.

I liked our overnight stay in Chisinau. One of the members of the staff was very helpful and welcoming. We are pretty sure that another member of the staff lied to us about the internet not working. We heard him talking to a friend about it later. Not really sure why someone would do that. But we had stayed there a week earlier and knew the password anyway. We tried it and it worked. Anyway, we thought that was pretty rude.

We're very sorry that you thought we had lied to you about internet! The internet was really not working last saturday for one hour and moreover there's no point for staff to lie to you about it... We hope it was just a matter of missunderstanding. All the best, Chisinau Hostel staff

It was a good time there. IOt´s the place to stay on a budget in Chisinau and a perfect spot to provide with information on Chisinau and trips to Tiraspol.

Had a good time at this hostel. Clean everywhere and 3 bathrooms with showers, quite a lot for a relatively small hostel. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. About 5 mins walk from supermarket, 20 mins quick walk from town centre, 5 mins from quick buses into town. Would very happily return to this hostel again in the future.

I stayed at the Chisinau Hostel for a couple of nights and enoyed it a lot. The location is a bit tricky to find (for the firs time only), but that also makes it quiet.The staff was very helpful at all times. Free internet-terminal downstairs. Got to know lots of other travellers. Would stay here again Thanks a lot

Not in the heart of the center, but still, close, AND, right next to a big mall, which has its pros. Big enough dorms even for 10 people, 3-4 spots to hang out (basement TV/internet room, kitchen, upstairs balcony, front door steps), breakfast included (nice touch), helpful stuff, all in all I'd stay there again. I would have stayed more if it was a couple of euros cheaper. Somehow I feel that double digit price (in euros) for Moldova is a bit pricey (despite all the good things I wrote above).

Good hostel with easy access to the city center and all stations. Staff very kind and useful. It is located next to big shoppig centre, that is very useful. Just cleanliness of the bathroom should be better and somebody had a pigeon in cage in the kitchen during our stay. I think there is no place for birds in kitchen where people eat because of smell and microbes. But next time in Chisinau I will choose this hostel again.

Great hostel I really enjoyed my stay here if you go to chisinau this is the place to stay. The staff is awesome and very helpfull. I was very clean. It was a little outside the main drag but it was only a short bus ride to the center so no big deal. I would stay here again.

This is basically the only hostel in Chisinau, but that's alright since this is a great place to stay. The staff is really friendly and helpful. The beds are comfortable and the location is great, situated right behind Mall-Dova which makes traveling by taxi much easier. The hostel has three floors with 3 separate bathrooms and showers. Overall, I would stay here again.
