U Baby Mariny

The small guest house U Baby Mariny occupies a private home at Strada Valeriu Cupcea 38 in Telecentru, Chișinău. It rents double rooms and rooms for several people with breakfast for guests, and there is a traditional steam bath in the yard. The place is chosen mainly by travellers looking for simple, inexpensive accommodation close to the centre, in a quiet district of private houses. Bookings are taken by phone: the guest house has no website and no official social media pages, and payment is accepted in cash.

Customers rate the service positively, although most of the reviews were written several years ago. Satisfied guests write about the quiet atmosphere, the comfortable rooms, the steam bath and the affordable rate. Complaints recur around cleaning and fittings: dust left on the windowsill and the radiator, towels that had to be requested separately, a shower curtain and blinds coming loose, a television out of order, and hot water that was slow to come through in the morning. Several guests also criticised the breakfast as small or made with produce past its best. It is worth asking up front exactly what the room includes.
