IRIS Hotel

IRIS Hotel Overview

First Impressions

Walking into IRIS Hotel on Petricani Street, you immediately get the sense that this is a place that takes hospitality seriously. It’s not flashy or over-the-top — just a solid four-star property that knows exactly what it’s doing. The lobby has this clean, modern feel without being sterile, and honestly, the staff greeting feels genuinely warm rather than rehearsed. You know what I mean — sometimes you can tell the difference right away.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s the thing about Chişinău — it’s not a massive city, so being on Petricani Street actually puts you in a pretty sweet spot. The area feels residential enough to be quiet at night, but you’re not stuck in the middle of nowhere either. I noticed couples seem to really appreciate this balance (apparently they rate the location quite highly), and I can see why. There’s something nice about having your own little corner while still being able to get around easily. Plus, the free private parking is honestly a game-changer if you’re driving — finding decent parking in any European capital can be a real headache.

The Room Experience

Let me tell you about the beds — they’re actually as comfortable as everyone says they are. I mean, hotels always claim to have amazing beds, but this place genuinely delivers on that promise. The room itself feels thoughtfully designed rather than just thrown together. Nothing too fancy, but everything works well and feels intentional. The windows are decent-sized, so you get good natural light during the day, and the whole space just feels… well, restful. Sometimes that’s exactly what you need after a long day of exploring.

Dining & Amenities

The hotel’s restaurant serves solid food without trying to be something it’s not — I appreciate that kind of honesty in a place. You’re not going to get molecular gastronomy here, but you will get well-prepared dishes that actually taste good. The service moves at a reasonable pace, which is perfect when you’re not in a rush but don’t want to wait forever either. The overall amenities feel appropriate for a four-star property — nothing’s missing that you’d actually expect to find.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets IRIS Hotel apart is this combination of reliability and comfort that’s harder to find than you’d think. It’s the kind of place where everything just works without drama — the Wi-Fi is stable, the hot water actually stays hot, and the housekeeping team clearly cares about details. For couples especially, there’s something appealing about having a peaceful base where you can recharge between exploring the city. The 8.3 rating makes perfect sense when you experience it firsthand — it’s not trying to be the fanciest place in town, but it consistently delivers on what it promises.
