Orheiul Vechi Monastery Tours and Activities

Thjis is a small but very charming hotel conveniently located in the heart of Chisinau. It appears to have been recently renovated, so everything was new and spotlessly clean. It offerred amenities important to travellers, including morning breakfast, a coffee bar, and a small, but very useful, self-serve washer/dryer. The single rooms range from small to very small, but are very adequate for single travellers. I will book it again.

My stay at the Thomas Albert Hotel was disrupted by a loud private party off the lobby that was already underway when I checked in around 4:40pm. After getting settled in my room, I noticed that the noise (loud talking and pulsing music) could be heard clearly. I gathered my things and went back down to the front desk to inquire about changing rooms. I was told they were fully booked and it was not possible. The front desk clerk assured me that the party would be over by “9pm, 10 at the latest.” Later, I ate dinner at the excellent restaurant in the hotel and went back to my room to find that the noise had gotten worse. Now, partygoers were loudly singing to the music and shouting. I was hoping to go to sleep as I had a long day of travel, but that wasn’t possible. At 10pm, the time I was assured the party would end, it was still going strong. Again, I went to the front desk to request a room change. Again, I was told it was not possible. I let the front desk know that I had been told the party would be over no later than 10pm. He now assured me it would be over by 11pm. If the hotel staff had told me when I checked in that the party would last until 11pm, I would have gladly booked elsewhere. This hotel clearly does not value the wellbeing and comfort of all its guests. If you want a peaceful environment where you can relax and sleep, I would not stay here.

Great place to stay, clean and comfortable. Trolleybus No. 30 from the airport round the corner. Nice short walk to the city center. Tasty breakfast.
