Prestige Hotel

There is no a Lobby and desk at the hotel.Each time when service was required we had to go to appartement (like a ofiice in nearest building).The towwels were not replaced every day,and the food paltes also were not cleaned or replaced by the hotel service crew.

and cleanliness of the place is great, nice attention. I would recommend it to anyone ...

Rummen var jättefina men låg i risiga hus. Det gick inte att se hotellets namn någonstans utan det var ett annat hotelnamn så det var krångligt att hitta.

Don't be disappointed by the first impression - from outside. The rooms are actually really nice inside and clean. Comfortable bed and big TV. The location is also good.

The hotel is an old apartment block where the apartments have been refurbished to an exceptionally high spec. The area is very central (even allowing for Chisinau's relative small size) and yet the apartments are set back from the main street in a courtyard and so are peaceful. Electrically operated blackout blinds keep the sun and burglars out but can be opened to enjoy the balcony. Relative to prices in local bars, the minibar was extremely pricey, but is still not overpriced by non-Moldovan standards. The bathroom is a joy to use, with separate shower and bath and there is a lounge area in the room.

Entering the hotel involved climbing through scaffolding (which was taken down by the time I left) into a run down looking courtyard, & entrance to my specific apartment was via a very unlikely looking door from the courtyard that looked like some utility unit ... however the apartment itself was very pleasant - a lovely oasis within & the courtyard in reality was very safe and characterful. Location was great - very central. Staff however didn't have any maps available & more or less said that they're in the centre & I should work it out myself from there ... (I walked to the lovely 4 star Hotel Codru a little later & got a good map from there). Similarly they had no information re wine tours or anything else to do & had no suggestions on how I find out more from anywhere else (again I found out from the Hotel Codru). Price was ok for Chisinau - not cheap but quite a bit less that the Hotel Codru. I arrived early (c.09:30) & the room was ready & indeed shown to me, however I was told that I'd have to pay their hourly rate to check-in prior to the agreed 12:00. I asked if I could instead just leave my bags & was told first that I could leave them in reception; as I started negotiating the stairs again with my luggage the staff member took pity on me & said I could leave my case in the room - I did this, went for a walk, sat out in the lovely park nearby for an hour & went back & checked in. Not a big deal but just seemed ridiculous & unnecessary.

Area diid not look promising as rear of hotel was very run down but the rooms were amazing and location within 5 minutes walk of shops. bars, parks and restaurants. Reception was another room and staff may appear grumpy but super efficient and everything they told us would happpen, did happpen, on time.

I can't speak for all the rooms but I can say for certain that rooms 31 and 33 were great. I didn't expect that the rooms in a hotel situated in the back of a building would be so nice! But they were fantastic. The rooms were clean and very spacious. Each room had a large bathroom with both a tub and a shower, a small sitting area with a couch, and a large comfortable bed. they also had metal shutters you could lower over the window to block out light at night. the staff there was also very helpful, although my wife speaks Romanian so I'm not sure how it would be for English speakers, but they were friendly and helpful anytime we needed it.

Over all I was satisfied with my stay. If you desire to be near center of the city, I hotel would be a nice choice.
