Reviews of Aydeniz hostel

The dorm was crowded, but yet it was silent and I didnt feel unsafe.

Bathroom and toilets are not enough, there are at least 50 maybe more people in the facility and they have to share the only one bathroom and two toilets all together.

This was the most horribly dirty place I’ve ever seen in my life. I will try to report this hostel to the Moldovan government. The level of unsanitariness there was worse than the worst prison conditions. When I arrived at the hostel, the bed assigned to me wasn’t ready. I was understanding and said, “No problem, I’ll come back in an hour.” When I returned, the place was tidied up, but the bedsheet shocked me. It looked like a donkey had rolled on it. I politely asked the lady at the reception if she was sure my bed had been prepared. She said “yes.” I suggested we check it together. We did, and she silently admitted the sheets were in poor condition. She shrugged and said, “This is how it is here.” Then she went into the hallway and gave me a new bedsheet — or at least what she called new. It was probably a leftover from the 1980s. I went to take a shower. Believe me, even in war-torn Gaza, bathrooms might be better than this. No hot water, no shampoo. The bathroom was so filthy it felt like it was making me dirtier. It became clear to me that this was more of a worker’s dormitory than a hostel. But a worker is a human being too — they deserve respect and minimum living standards. In short, I couldn’t cancel my reservation, nor could I spend the night there.

The location is convenient - close to the bus stop, shop, cafe. The building from outside looks okay. The surrounding seems to be safe. The stuff is really friendly and helpful. The price is low.

Well, for the whole floor there is only one bathroom with shower and toilet and one separate toilet. There are a lot of people so there are queues to wash yourself or toilet. What is more, it's dirty in there. There are mostly men in this place so the stay might not be too comfortable dor a woman. The hostel has got high notes but I can't agree with them.

The staff was nice and location close to center.

Not safe for women, suspicious men staying permanently there that are verbally harrasing women. It's not clean, only one bathroom for both women and men, also only 2 toilets for both women and men, very smelly. Smelly sheets, no clean towels. I really don't understand how this place has so many good reviews. The price is very good, but the men are overtaking the place and literally, not even sure if they are staying legally there. As a woman, you feel permanetly watched. Awkward. Never coming back again there.

It's not far from the Central Market of Chișinău, and not far from public transport station and in the south of the old neighbourhood. Good value for the money.

Nothing notable to be mentioned.

The hostel is clean and comfortable, with a welcoming and friendly staff that really makes you feel at home. There are small lockers in the room where you can safely store your valuables, which is a great plus. Overall, a great place to stay!

The only downside is that the curtains don’t block out much light, so the room gets quite bright at sunrise.

The flexibility, patience, helpfullnes of Engin. Whatever you needed, Engin arranged it for us. The guy was very genuine, direct and correct. He arranged even a daytrip to Gagauzia. Perfect price/quality balance!

Near the city

Big place with free tea and coffee. Nice reception staff.

Very big rooms with barely any fresh air. Quite smelly also. Bathroom is only with one shower... And there was like 40 ppl in the hostel. Meaning you needed to be lucky to get into shower.. Apparently it's a sleep place for Ukrainians going through Moldova to other counties. And it definitely seems wety weird to be there.

I booked a family room, but when I arrived I found out that all the family rooms were taken. Probably for the best because the hostel seemed very low-level.
