It’s good that they have a no shoe inside policy, however the area where the shoes are stored smells bad with all the trainers in one place. Maybe they should put some air fresheners there? The hostel itself is clean but that’s what you’re greeted with which makes you feel like it’s not.

The staff were friendly and helpful especially before arrival. Location is good and it’s clean. The cat is cute.

No aircon, it's pretty hot in the room. Problems with the booking.com for some reason, they didn't see my booking.

It was probably the cheapest hostel in the city, which was great. The internet worked very well. There was a kitchen available. What I liked was that the hostel was really quiet, it depends on the people though, but this one was definitely one of the quieter ones.

No towels in the rooms, bad smell, the 2 bed room was fine but the shared space like the kitchen, living room were not tidy, bathroom was not really nice

Good location

A bit unkept and dusty but if you don't mind that it's fine!

Close to all attractions, comfortable and cool vibes. We stayed in the budget double room. Don't be fooled by the photos, the bed is much bigger in reality. Plenty of space for 2 people! The host who greeted us at the reception was very nice and welcoming. Overall, a great place to stay if you're on a budget.

Nothing

Hostel locates in the centre of Chisinaw. You can get to your destination quickly by public transport.

I chose this specific hostel because of the privacy curtains. I don’t know why, but my bed had only partial curtains covering it. All the other beds in the room had full curtains. A half-sized curtain is pointless because it doesnt provide any privacy :/

Very nice administrator!

Honestly, I loved my stay here. As a single woman traveler, it was a safe, pleasant stay. The atmosphere was great, the staff and fellow residents were friendly and kind, and it is just minutes from everything. I will happily return again and again.

Great value for the money - amazing location not far from the city centre, comfortable room and a welcoming common room.

the place has a nice style but it's wooden and quite dirty and smells bad. the dorm-room was dark and the bed was not so new. the atmosphere in general was not so comfortable in my opinion, I like cleaner and less dark places

the price is ok. the toilets and shwers are well organized and clean

During summer the rooms are very hot and the crew is not get used to foreigners, as most of the people staying there are locals. The facilities are too messy. Is good to sleep for a couple of nights, but not to stay for a longer period.

Good location, 15 min away walking from main square and a lot of good restaurants nearby.

Wrong advertisement. I booked a single room with a private bathroom, but I had to share the bathroom with other guests. The bathroom room was disgusting. One of the employees cleaned my room in less than 2 minutes, because it was not ready at my arrival. The first owner who did the check in was friendly. The other very unfriendly. The other guests were quite sketchy, which is of course not the hostel’s fault. With the correct people managing this hostel, it could become a nice place, but the way they handle guests with wrong advertising and unfriendly attitudes, it is a disgrace to hostels and travellers. Sorry for the bad, but honest comment, hoping to help you improving in the future.

Location Comfortable bed

Place is very outdated and in tatters in certain places. Could do with better upkeep and maintenance and improved level of cleanliness Can't blame the staff here unfortunately if the standard of your average guest is not very clean They didn't have proper bedsheets on the beds but rather what feels like old worn wool blanket that felt rather uncomfortable and probably not very hygienic Sadly, I did not meet a single other actual traveller here, just longer term people from Ukraine etc

Staff were very friendly and welcoming Beds have have curtains for privacy and there are plenty of showers so you don't have to wait around

Great location, cool vibe, and super friendly staff. The common areas were cozy and encouraged socializing, which made it easy to meet other travelers.

All good

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Mouse House! This charming little place is the perfect combination of comfort, cleanliness, and thoughtful design. It’s clear that a lot of love and attention went into every detail — from the warm lighting and soft linens to the stylish decor that makes it feel like a true home away from home. The location is ideal — quiet and peaceful, yet close enough to explore the city easily. Whether you're walking to nearby cafes, grocery shops, or just enjoying a slow morning on the terrace, everything feels convenient and relaxed. The host was incredibly kind and responsive, offering helpful local tips and making sure I had everything I needed throughout the stay. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to return — and I absolutely will. Highly recommended for solo travelers or couples looking for a cozy, peaceful getaway in Chișinău!

Very congested for me. Maybe that might ok for others

For the price in Chisnau, it’s good and close to the centre. But the hostel is too tight and no good ventilation.

nothing, I've stayed in a few hostels and this place has been the best.

The staff were excellent. The administrator and the owner just outstanding. very comfortable, clean, great facilities. This will be my home every three months, I volunteer in Ukraine. All the guests here are honest and friendly. Great place!!!

Very quiet! Awesome. It's great that there's a ban on drinking alcohol. You can relax.

Rceptionist girl was nice and welcoming. There were only 6–7 reviews on Booking, so I thought it was a new hostel. However, i figured re-registered an old hostel under a different name. In the photos, the place looked bright, reality it had nothing to do with the pictures. There was a thick layer of dust above the bathroom doors, walls, refrigerator. Creating a "bohemian hippie style" is okay but running a business without CLEANING is not acceptable.

I had the pleasure of staying at House Mouse Hostel during my trip to Chișinău, and I can confidently say it was an excellent experience!

The beds were super comfortable, and I appreciated the privacy curtains and personal storage space. 🌍 Great Location: The hostel is situated in a convenient area, making it easy to explore the city and access transportation. Whether you're looking for local attractions, cafes, or nightlife, everything is within reach. 🤝 Friendly Atmosphere: One of the highlights was the social vibe—perfect for meeting fellow travelers! The common areas are designed for relaxation and interaction, making it easy to connect with others. 💡 Thoughtful Amenities: From fast Wi-Fi to a well-equipped kitchen and cozy lounge, everything is designed for comfort. The staff was always available to provide recommendations and assistance. I highly recommend House Mouse Hostel to anyone visiting Chișinău!
