Wine Hotel Chisinau

There are many quality and affordable hotels in Chisinau, but the Wine Hotel would be a bad choice for the following reasons: 1. Location: Not the best location as there are few restaurants nearby and a bit far from the center. The neighborhood isn't very interesting. 2. Hotel: The hotel is located on the fourth floor of a building without an elevator. You'll have to carry your bags up the stairs as there is no one to help you. The rooms are clean but pretty basic with air conditioner, a not very comfortable bed. a tv, no safe and basically no bathroom amenities. No water is provided but the free internet is reliable. 3. Breakfast: This is the only meal that they serve. The selection is very limited and of average quality. If you get there at 9 (served till 10), there might not be any food available as they don't replenish. One positive is that they serve a free glass of wine/day. 4. Staff: Most of the staff are not service orientated and can be rude and unhelpful. The manager frequently arrives late to work. They won't allow you to leave your bags at the hotel for a day or so if you are going out of town. And if they run out of food for breakfast and you complain, instead of finding a solution to the problem, they'll tell you that other guests took too much food and basically, you're out of luck. So unprofessional. It's apparent from the staff's attitude that they aren't well trained and don't care about their guests. Even though the Wine Hotel is affordable, there are better options. I would avoid it like the plaque.
