I arrived in Chisinau airport at 6 in the morning and took a taxi to this hotel where I had made a reservation a month ahead of time through Orbitz. When I arrived at the hotel, the woman at the front desk looked completely puzzled. She did not speak a single word of English and made it known to me that I wasn't on the book for that day or any other day at all. Having made this reservation a month ahead and wanting to make sure I had a place to stay when I arrived after a grueling 22 hour flight, I was obviously disappointed. The woman kept telling me to wait in Russian, so I waited. And waited and waited. She was very nice and offered me two cups of coffee while I was waiting and allowed me to use their Wi-Fi so I did. After an hour and a half of waiting, I decided that since I really didn't know what I was waiting for and my entire stay in Chisinau was only 1 day anyway, I should stop wasting time and get myself another hotel. So, I made a reservation at another hotel and walked away. I came home to find out that they had charged me $500 for an alleged "no show" reservation which is not only an outright lie but also a total scam! The entire room price would have been $27 had they had a room, been able to keep their end of the bargain and honored my reservation, let alone speak English so they could at least communicate what had gone wrong. They do not deserve to be rewarded for failing to keep their end of the bargain. Do not do business with these shady people!
