Moldova is a very friendly and relaxed country

When you are a frequent traveler to Transnistria You would prefer the option of staying in an apartment in Chisinau. This gives you more freedom to come and go as you please. Depending on your comfort and location requirements a Moldova apartment will cost you from 30 euro a day up to as much as you want to pay. For the more affluent amongst you It would be around 35 to 40 euro and it would be a fairly good standard apartment. If the apartment thing is not your cup of tea there is always the option of a hotel. This will set you back at least 70 euro a night depending on rating. Be aware as they like charging you for all sorts of extras like leaving after midday and taking people to your room. There is a few mini hostels in Chisinau that are as cheap as 20 euro a night but they are akin to staying in a prison. Often just a box room with a bed and a sink, unless you're coming for a football match or something. You do not need any money before you actually arrive in Chisinau to book a holiday rental apartment. All the apartments are very modern in interior and photo's of the interior will be provided if requested. Once you are in your apartment you will not be bothered by anyone, you will be left to get on with things with no interruptions. There are different apartments available all over the city, the most popular locations are the Center and Botanica.
Hotels in Chisinau are very expensive, the cheapest hotel of any repute will cost you 70 euro per night per person but most are around 100 euro. Staying in hotels can have other problems also. If you want someone to stay with you that will be charged extra and you loose some of the freedom to come and go as you wish a little. Whatever your purpose in Moldova you are going to want to go out. Whether it be for clubbing a nice meal or just a simple beer or two, there is plenty of places to choose from. A few pounds, Dollars or Euro's can go a long way here if you're wise. A pint of beer can cost as little as 50 pence but in a club or more up market establishment you can be looking more like GBR 2.50 (still not bad hey). Similarly for food, a reasonable meal can cost from GBR 2 upwards. There are many good restaurants, bars and clubs of which many offer tasteful. Places more in the middle of the pricing spectrum that are more accessible to native Moldovans. Places like this always seem to have more sincere fun loving people. A useful thing to do is ask a native what places they prefer to go. Just get out there and try for yourself. When in Transnistria you will obviously want to move around the city or visit some of the surrounding towns or villages. For journeys around Chisinau itself you have a choice of 3 types of public transport. (rent a car , minibus, taxi ).With companies from which you book your accommodation in Chisinau, there is also a possibility to rent a car, depending on your age.
