Very Nice and helpful staff plus great location/

While the staff and location were above average, the rooms were OVERHEATED to the point that no one in our party could sleep. There was no modulating accommodations (window to the outside or porch area.) We ended up leaving at 5:00am just to escape the oppressive temperature. Additionally, other residents were inconsiderate, returning in the wee hours of the morning without modulating their conversations or noise level.

Very cool hostel. Just in the city center, but still in a quiet neighborhood. Amazing staff, and everything very clean. I arrived very late and had to leave in the middle of the night, but the staff was nice enough to organize the pick up from the airport and also my departure. Definitely will stay here again if I come back!

The hostel is absolutely lovely :) very stylish with a wonderful public space. The beds are new and the sheets are white as nowhere else around hostels, was very pleasant after seeing so many dirty places. In the day of my arrival the hostel received the annual HostelWorld award for the best hostel in Moldova for last year. The staff is also friendly, everything is done with touch.

Good Hostel. Clean and stylish. I have never seen such a performant shower cabin anywhere. The breakfast is basic but fine, I do not think one could expect more from a hostel. The staff is useful and friendly, fact that makes the entire atmosphere very cosy. Fast net, clean sheets and comfy beds. The hostel definitely worths its cost.

I appreciated how some of the staff like Alina practiced speaking Romanian with me. She spoke fast, but I understood her directions to all the fun places that she had recommended to me. Thanks a lot, Alina! As for the hostel itself, it was close to the main drag (Stefan Cel Mare) and very close to the Pushkin Museum. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom clean. Great place, and great value for the money. Thanks!
