Altin Palace

I think the best was the approach of the house lady and the man ! He made me a great breakfast every day and when I came from work he had smile on his face

The only thing is that I missed a small table in the room for work.

I stayed a few nights as part of a solo Moldova road trip. Hotel choices are limited, but this was an ideal location from which to explore Gagauzia. Restaurant attached to the hotel offers great food (don’t skip the Turkish breakfast!) and it’s 5 min walk to a well-stocked grocery store. Despite my VERY limited Russian, the staff were kind and welcoming and we communicated via Google Translate. Room was clean and comfortable and I had safe, off-street parking for my rental vehicle. Overall I had a great experience here as a solo female traveler who did not speak the local languages.

Like many Moldovan hotels outside Chisinau, it also has a venue for smaller parties/events. My room was located in a wing adjacent to this space, and I did hear the music but it did not go past 11pm or midnight on Friday and Saturday. For context, I’ve read of other hotel venues playing music until 2-4am. If you are an early and/or light sleeper, I suggest bringing a pair of earplugs and politely requesting the staff give you a room away from the venue space (do this when you make your booking). Again, this is NOT uncommon in Moldova but may surprise foreign guests, so be understanding of a slightly different business model and manage your expectations. That’s just part of travel! I would still absolutely book this hotel again.

the smell of sewage "kills" the hot water never started running even though someone was doing something with its supply

Renovated rooms in a quiet location, with friendly staff and a great Georgian restaurant on-site!

The room was very small without any chairs/tables or place to leave the luggage. Staying longer than an evening would have been tricky.

Had a big room with windows. Was very comfortable.

The Turkish Breakfast was amazing. The staff was very kind and went out of their way to be helpful in spite of my poor ability to speak Russian.

My only complaint (and it really wasn't a big deal) was that the mini bar fridge in my room could have used a bit of cleaning.
