Hotels near Muzeul Național de Literatură „Mihail Kogălniceanu＂ 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!!

Good location and good service

The hotel is in an excellent, central location on a nice pedestrian street adjacent to a lovely park. And the service was great.

The service was nice, the duty administrator answered all questions politely and correctly. They went to the room, told everything and showed. Also quickly in the morning took the number when expelled.

The hotel looked appealing from the outside and is located in a very nice residential area of Chișinău. I had a friendly welcome when I checked-in and I was given a full rundown of the facilities in the hotel and then taken to my room. The room was fairly spacious and nicely decorated with one of the walls unusually covered in foam tiling. The bed was comfortable, there was a wall mounted TV, fridge and in-room safe which wouldn't work and the alarm would go off when I touched it. The aircon worked well as did the wifi. Tea and coffee facilities were also provided. The bathroom was fine with an extremely powerful shower which pinned me up the against the cubicle wall when on full power, toiletries were provided. I took breakfast each morning which was substantial and included a full continental selection as well as cooked items, porridge and a wide range of fruit juices. I had a noise issue on one the days of my stay due to the thin walls in the room, I complained but I couldn't be moved as the hotel was full. It may have been in issue in other rooms too. Apart from this issue I still enjoyed my stay at B&B Olsi, the staff members were extremely helpful and approachable even if there was a language barrier. The hotel is also conveniently located and is only a 15 minute walk into the city.
