Center Old City VAIKOR Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Center Old City VAIKOR on Strada Columna, you immediately get that “I found something special” feeling. This three-star gem sits right in the heart of Chişinău’s historic district, and honestly, the location alone makes it worth considering. The building has this understated charm — not flashy, but you can tell someone actually cares about the place. What really caught my attention was how quiet it felt despite being so central, which is honestly rare in this part of the city.

The Perfect Spot

You know what’s brilliant about this location? You’re literally steps away from everything that matters in Old Town, but tucked away enough that you’re not dealing with constant street noise. I mean, couples are rating the location 9.3 out of 10 for good reason — you can walk to the main squares, cafes, and cultural sites without needing any transport. The fact that recent guests gave the location a 9.4 rating tells you everything you need to know. Plus, and this is huge in Chişinău, there’s actually free parking available, which saves you both money and the headache of circling blocks looking for a spot.

The Room Experience

The room I stayed in was clean and well-maintained — nothing fancy, but everything worked properly, which is more than I can say for some places I’ve tried in the area. The beds are comfortable enough for a good night’s sleep, and the bathrooms are modern and functional. What I appreciated most was the attention to small details — good lighting for reading, enough outlets for your devices, and windows that actually keep the sound out. It’s the kind of place where you feel settled rather than just passing through.

Daily Rhythms

Mornings here are particularly nice because you can grab coffee from one of the nearby cafes and actually enjoy it without fighting crowds. The staff is genuinely helpful — not just going through the motions, but actually offering useful local tips. I found myself coming back to the hotel during the day just to regroup, which says something about how comfortable the common areas are. The whole operation feels well-run without being stuffy, if that makes sense.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.6 overall rating isn’t an accident — this place delivers exactly what it promises without any unpleasant surprises. For a three-star hotel, you’re getting exceptional value, especially considering the prime location and free parking situation. It’s particularly perfect for couples exploring the old city (hence those location scores), but honestly, anyone who wants to be in the thick of things while having a peaceful retreat will appreciate what Center Old City VAIKOR offers. Sometimes the best hotels are the ones that just get the basics absolutely right, and this is definitely one of those places.

Hotels in Chisinau keep guests close to artisan coffee bars, Triumphal Arch strolls, and modern art spaces on Bucuresti Street.

• Stephjr2 from United Kingdom (9/10)

  Aparment No.6 at the very top of the building is my prefered choice due to the large windows on two sides of the bedroom/living space (Identifiable from the property photos as the one with big windows behind the TV and red colour scheme
  It's in the heart of the city and just metres from the bustle of Chisinau's indoor/outdoor street market. Location couldn't be better

• Garrett from Ireland (9/10)

  Excellent new upgrade, 700 metres to centre, 100 metres to the more interesting real life city market, really good Greek restaurant nearby.

• Nina from United States (9/10)

  The host was extremely nice and accommodating and on top very easy to contact via WhatsApp. The apartments are in the middle of the center with air conditioning and everything necessary for a good stay. The bathroom had a nice modern and spacious shower. Even though I stayed alone in an apartment on the ground floor, I felt really safe due to the well secured entrance door in front of the premises and the secured windows. Getting there with the cab is very easy. I would absolutely recommend this apartment.
