Hostel Amazing Ionika CenterCity, hotel in Chişinău

Featuring free WiFi, a hot tub and a terrace, Ionika Hostel offers accommodation in Chişinău, 800 metres from Valea Moritor lake. Rooms have a flat-screen TV with satellite channels and DVD player.

I had an amazing stay at this hostel! The price is fantastic for everything you get. The location is perfect, close to everything you need, making it easy to explore the area. The hostel is spotless, and I loved having a socket and a little shelf right next to my bed, which made things super convenient. The curtains around each bed create a cozy, private space, almost like having your own little room! There are also lockers for your belongings, which adds a great sense of security. The staff is incredibly supportive and always ready to help. The owner organizes fascinating tours to different places in Moldova (my favorite was Branesti wine cellar, unfortunately I didn't have time to take the tour to Transnistria) that really enhance the experience. This hostel is perfect for solo travelers, as it offers both privacy and great opportunities to meet new people. Overall, it’s an awesome place to stay, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great, affordable place to stay.

The hostel was cozy and comfortable and the staff were so friendly. The bed, pillow and blankets were great, there was even a towel. Having a female-only dorm was a welcome relief too and all of the guests were really respectful.

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    I’ve been staying at this hostel a few times and I’ve never had an issue with anything. It’s always pleasantly clean, there is always soap and shower gel in the bathrooms. I kept medication and expensive teeth whitening kit in the fridge for a few days that obviously wasn’t touched or taken. There is always fast and good Internet. Overall it feels safe and it is a pleasant atmosphere, would definitely recommend it.

    To be honest, I don't know how they keep the place clean with so many people coming and going, but they do. One of the best hostels I've stayed in the region. Everything was clean and tidy. The bed was high enough and had curtains, plugs and individual light. Lockers were big enough and even had a hanger. Good shower facilities also. Location is amazing, very centered and close to a 24/7 good restaurant and public transportation. I can see how they're so busy and fully booked.

    The location is great. Just right in the centre of Chisinau. It is not a hostel with “hostel atmosphere”, but it is ok and good if you want to stay for a night or short stay and you want to pay cheap. Many people at the hostel and around. Some little constructions are happening day. I got lucky that my room was located at the end, in a quiet location. Basic accommodation. Do not expect much. Staff was friendly. Right next to the hostel there is the “Cats Cafe”… very original cafe worth a visit.

    This hostel is definitely the best option for budget-travelers. The location is ideal, in the very heart of Chisinau (pronounced "Key She Now"). The hostel is clean and quiet, with a great staff. There's a big supermarket next-door. By law, alcohol is sold until 10pm. There's also an amazing gym next-door, very well equipped and cheap.

    Great location in the city centre! Everything you’ll need at your doorstep. The owner Rubens was awesome, very helpful and went out of his way to assist with anything I needed. The other staff (Stepan and Ana) were also amazing, very knowledgeable and gave good advice and suggestions for my stay! one of the best hostels I’ve stayed in mainly due to the hospitality! definitely recommend! thanks Ionika!!
