Hotels near Biserica Arhanghelul Mihail in Chisinau

Cosy, small hotel with a homely atmosphere. Friendly, sociable staff. Everything is great. The city center is a 20 minute drive. There is a stop nearby. Shops are not far. The airport is less than 29 km away.

The hotel is fine, the room was clean, the bed was comfy and it was quiet at night. But... I did give it only 3 stars why? Well, its the little things that make a hotel stay pleasant, and all during my stay i encountered the things that made me go, duh.. not good. First we arrived late at night, we got our room on the fifth floor, only... the elevator didnt work, so how am i supposed to get to my room without a lift... carring the luggage 5 floors was unfun. And then the little things: 1. The water pressure is low, so taking a shower takes a while. Even the toilet takes 5 mins to refill. 2. The lights, in the elevator are dark blue, so you cant really see what floor you are pressing. 3. The lights again, on each floor the lights turn off if there is no movment, but its really quick, so me fumbling for the key 3 secs means i now search for the key in the dark or dance a bit so lights will come back on. 4. The trash can, well its there but the step lever doesn't work so you have to open it with your hand. There were a few more little but annoying things so if you don't mind a bit of the small things, the hotel is cheap and clean.

The hotel dumped me upon arrival (I arrived at 18:30, so not exceptionally late). First, I was told a whole floor was affected by a flooding. Later, I was told there was a problem with a guest that was so intoxicated that she had to be taken to hospital, thus unable to check out, making my room unavailable. In the end, I was told there was a conference and the hotel was simply full/overbooked. No prior notice, no real excuse, nothing. I was simply told to go to a different hotel (Zentrum - which turned out to be a very good hotel), but I wasn't given any options. When visiting a city for the first time, it takes some time and effort to find out where you want to stay, and you then look for a good deal. Being just sent to a hotel in a different part of the city is simply not ok. Furthermore, the receptionist of the Bristol showed me quickly on a her phone that it would only be a short drive to the other hotel. However, google maps did not seem to know about all the blocked roads due to road construction going on in Chisinau. After driving in circles for 20 minutes, I parked my rental car and walked. It turned out that in order to reach the other hotel, you had to drive into a one-way street in the wrong direction (sic!). The Bristol has a brilliant location, that's why I initially booked it. But it is not a hotel to be trusted. Just stay away from it! It is obviously very badly managed, and customer service is an unknown concept to them. If you know that you are overbooked, contact the guest in time, and discuss possible options. The room had been booked and prepaid weeks in advance, so simply telling me upon arrival “sorry, you will stay somewhere else” is a no-go! I do spend around 50 nights in hotels around the world every year, usually in the 4-5 star category, but something like this has never happened to me. Unless you like hotels that simply ”walks” you, or hotels with guests that are so intoxicated that they have to be hospitalised, or hotels where water leaks that flood an entire floor seem to be a regular occurrence, stay away from the Bristol!!

My stay at the hotel : No elevator , no toiletries , no napkins , no water . Good thing next to it , go and buy .Everything on the site says that is included in the cost , and not in the living.The only plus is pure . In the bed room , the mattress is terrible , all in springs , it is impossible to lie . On the respiratory girl Yulia , not welcoming , not even greeting and this staff member is respiratory ? ! It's as if she came home to her. The appearance is not fit for the hotel , not presentative , not even a badge of name (and I am 4 stars for a minute)It doesn't even sit in its workplace , it is always not on the respiratory.I want to pay attention to the hotel management , Whom they take to work .And so you can stay without customers .I do not recommend anyone for such money ,stay in this hotel .

This hotel is in a very good location, approximately 15 minutes walking distance to many of the main sights in Chisinau. It is also about 1 mile from the central and north bus terminals. The room was well-equipped and the staff was helpful. The breakfast selection was also good.

The hotel rooms were lovely - modern, clean and comfortable. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and I love the comfortable chair for relaxing in. The room came with a very well stocked mini bar, unlike a lot of hotels these days. The staff were very friendly and exceptionally helpful. The buffet breakfast compares to the best I have seen around the world and should satisfy most expectations. The Lotus Spa is well worth a visit - the masseuse are both exceptional and are highly recommended at the end of the day for a relaxing massage. The New York bar is lovely to relax in and it also has the advantage of an outdoor seating area for when the weather is warm. There is a ****** adjoining the hotel with an entrance fee of $100 that you get back in chips.

The hotel is in an excellent, central location on a nice pedestrian street adjacent to a lovely park. And the service was great. The front desk staff helped me arrange guided tours of Moldova and also secured my transport to the airport. Very helpful and friendly. I really enjoyed my stay here while visiting Chisinau.

Location: The hotel is in a top location and you will need only a few minutes walk to the most famous attractions in Chisinau. There are also numerous cafes and restaurants, as well as bakeries and shops in the immediate vicinity. The service: The service does not open any wishes, as you live the mentality of ”the guest is King'' in this hotel! . Both carrying support for baggage and excellent service in breakfast restaurant, and the fact that all staff at the reception are standing as soon as a guest enters the lobby shows that you are not just here, , Luxury'' has written on the hotel's façade but that the welfare of the guest is absolute priority. The rooms: The rooms are furnished in the Communist Soviet style, but still do not leave any wishes open. Air conditioning, WIFI, Minibar & TV are standard in all rooms. Also, the rooms have heated towels and dressing boxes with a lamp that lights the dressing box when opening.

Good location and good service

It was my first time in Moldova. Any member of staff I came into contact with, either on the front desk, or in the bar/restaurant spoke very good English. The staff on the reception were particularly helpful. They were happy to help with a late check out as I'd a late flight and also with ordering a taxi to the airport. The room was spacious. Large bathroom. Comfortable bed. Coffee machine and a kettle in the room. Minibar is well stocked with snacks if you don't want to walk to the shops (although there are shops within walking distance of the hotel). Handy location for the train station. It's within walking distance if you get the overnight train from Bucharest. City centre a bit of a walk, but not too far. About 20 minutes walk to the Triumphal Arch. About 30 minutes walk to the Museum of Ethnography & Natural History. Overall, one of the nicer hotels I've stayed in. The reception staff in particular are brilliant. Nothing is any trouble for them and I'd gladly stay again.
