Hotel Sanrais

Hotel Sanrais, a small hotel, stands at Strada Pictor Mihai Grecu 9 in Chișinău's Centru sector, in a quiet residential district where many of the residents are foreign tenants. Rooms are spacious, with a mini-fridge, air conditioning and a private bathroom, and breakfast is prepared for guests. Wi-Fi is free, and reception will help with calling a taxi or booking a tour of the city. Cars are left beside the building in the shared courtyard car park, so a free space is not guaranteed. The hotel has no website of its own and takes bookings by phone.

Ratings are above average, although most of the reviews are several years old. The quiet of the area, the cleanliness, the size of the rooms and the helpfulness of the reception staff, who try to sort out whatever guests ask for, are praised most often. Value for money is named as the hotel's main argument. Complaints concern the fittings: a television out of order, a broken bathroom door, no fridge in some rooms, cold radiators and a breakfast described as modest. Several guests note that the property does not match the category displayed on its sign. Shops are not within easy reach, so it is worth stocking up before you arrive.
