BERDS Chisinau Mgallery Hotel Collection

Berd's is not super centrally located, but you can easily reach the entire city centre on foot in around 30 minutes. I was surprised to find a bottle of sparkling wine, fruit and nibbles in my room as a welcome gift. The breakfast buffet is not as extensive as in other hotels, but there is also a small menu with omelettes etc. which you can have freshly prepared. During my first stay at Berd's in August '23 this menu was available on all tables, during my current stay in May '25 it was only handed out to us on the third morning. The omelette I ordered on the first morning was charged for. However, after complaining on departure, this was corrected without hesitation, as I had booked a rate including breakfast. Something from the minibar, which was on the bill but which I had not consumed, was also corrected without any problems. The bar and restaurant are great with super friendly staff. Adam and Ilya in particular take excellent care of their guests and make it hard to say goodbye. It was my second time at Berd's and I will definitely stay there again when I go back to Chisinau.

Wow! What a hotel experience! I stayed there for 3 nights about a month ago, and this hotel left a really good impression. From the airport pickup to the room design and comfort to the amenities and the restaurant, what a great place to stay! The personalized touches like the fruit platter, cookie jar, bottle of sparkling wine was great and personalized note from the manager were very thoughtful! The rooms are very modern and spacious, with great amenities (I felt like the bathroom floor was heated?), l’occitane bath products and lotions, more toiletries than you usually get ( toothbrush, shaving kit, etc) a separate shower and bathtub, a very cool closet design. I also tried the spa area and it was quite decent, with a bucket shower, hammam, classic sauna, infrared sauna (extra charge), a hot tub and these small illuminated pools of very cold and warm water for the feet. I also had a massage and it was decent probably 4/5 The restaurant was also pretty good and I’ll leave a separate review. Minor hiccups: 1. The TV was in an odd place (hanging from the wall perpendicular to the bed) and the TV channels didn’t work 2. The gym is a bit small but well Equipped, and there is no swimming pool although there was a hammam and two saunas. 3. Soundproofing for street noise could be better

This review refers to the beauty salon at the hotel, where I had a very disappointing experience. I booked an appointment based on the prices listed on their booking platform (up to 1100 lei for a haircut including light styling). However, when it came to pay, they tried to charge me 1850 lei for styling with some special hair products, which weren’t even used. Moreover, the styling was basic. I contested the price and showed them the booking confirmation including the price from our instagram chat. In the same chat, I asked them to confirm the price for a day makeup (700 lei on the booking platform) and they stated that it would be around 1200 lei, which had alarmed me before I even visited the salon and for a good reason as it turned out. I strongly advise anyone considering this salon to be very cautious. Make sure you get all pricing confirmed in writing beforehand. I will not be returning, and I would not recommend this place to others due to the lack of price transparency, which seemed to be a regular practice at the salon.
