Reviews of Hostel City Center

Best quality price ratio by far. Highly recommend, everything was spotless, the service was amazing, great overall.

Tidy bathroom

Not really.

There where no AC in a 36 degree heat wave

Comfy place and lots of space for you to eat or work. I saw lots of people working from their computers, so if you’re looking for a space to work from, this is the ideal place!

Everything as described. Good location, everything is clean, someone is always at the reception.

Location was perfect and staff

Nothing

I found the hostel to be very clean, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The beds are extremely comfortable, and the hostel provides everything one might need. However, I did find the room a bit small for the number of beds it accommodates. Overall, I am very satisfied with my stay at this hostel.

The bathrooms are good, though I believe the cleanliness in this area should be maintained more consistently.

Model hostel, all should be like that one

best place to stay for travellers saying in the city center

This is the best hostel in Chisinau. Everything was fine except for the fact that there is no stove in the kitchen.

One of the ladies at the reception seems to dislike talking to people. I understand—when you work in the service industry, it’s easy to grow tired of dealing with people. However, that’s also a sign that it might be time to look for a different job.

Few words about Hostel City Center: Location: Hostel is located inside of the shopping mall, next to the Bristol hotel. Supermarket, café, exchange office, church, park, public transportation and local sim card shop are around the hostel. Bus #30 from Chisinau airport came almost to the hostel by making L-shape turn and then I walked another 10 minutes to the hostel. Hostel staff: Staff is very helpful and friendly. Hostel residents: There are so many middle age Russian speaking men. They live in the hostel for a long time. Some of them work as construction workers, some of them are refugees what I understood from talking with them. All long term residents were friendly and social. My room: Clean lower bed and towel have been provided. It was nice to see a lamp, a socket and shelves in my bed. Locker was in the room. Air conditioner just makes noise and doesn’t cool the room said one man who lives in the room for long term. It was very hot in my room. Modern LG or Samsung air conditioner could be much more useful than current air conditioner. But somehow I got cold and sneezing and coughing all the time. ;o( Shared space: There is a kitchen with everything needed for warming up or storing food. There is no stove for cooking! But it is not a problem as supermarket has good ready food. Filtered water was helpful to refill empty bottle as it was very hot outside and inside. Bathroom with separate showers and toilets were clean and nice. Hostel provides laundry service for separate payment. Wi-Fi worked very well in the hostel. Overall, I found Hostel City Center as a comfortable place for long term stay.

Very nice, clean hostel. The location is great, just in the city centre. You have everything you need there including kitchen.

Great location very convenient for all sites, and decent value for money. Comfy bunk beds with curtains, and plenty of showers and toilets.

The staff were friendly overall, but i felt not particularly helpful with things like travel advice.

Very good location. Shower room is clean. I love cats, so the cat café next to the hostel was pretty much the main reason I booked it.

AC didn’t work well. Toilet was kinda smelly. The staff weren’t very welcoming—not terrible, but they didn’t seem to want to chat.

Importan Info, Entrance is beside Bristol hotel! Then easy to find.

No.

Quite a good hostel with good prices. Pros: located in the city center, close to all possible attractions, nearby a grocery store and coffee shops, there are clean towels, hot water and good wifi, on the same floor as the hostel - a cute cafe with cats. The room was clean, the bed was fresh. The refrigerator is shared, it is located on the hostel floor. You can ask for a hairdryer at the reception. The shower and toilet are shared and located in the corridor. The family room is essentially a separate room with several beds, where there is a wardrobe and a bedside table.

Cons: the air conditioner in the room works 24/7 and it is impossible to turn it off or reduce the cold, so you need to dress warmly for sleep - not to catch cold; ladies on reception were not very friendly.
