Art Rustic Hotel

Top choice in Chişinău


This small boutique hotel, a 15-minute walk from the centre, offers excellent value. The 13 rooms are individually and imaginatively furnished and come in two classes: 'standart' and cheaper 'econom', with the former being much bigger, and the latter boasting balconies.

Common areas are festooned with art and antiques. A dalmatian greets you at the entrance. Note there's no lift.
