TESTIMONIES FROM MAIN TRAVEL GUIDEBOOKS:

"It may not be centrally located, on the edge of the city, but you feel as if you are in the country in this peaceful, spacious and ultra-modern two-floor house. Monica, the interminably good-natured host, is not only a top-rate tour guide and hostel manager, she's also an excellent cook: breakfasts made with produce from the garden and local farms, are worth writing a diary entry about! She can arrange monastery tours or show you around the city. It's a super-friendly hostel, one of the country's best, 1km west of Gara de Nord." (LONELY PLANET ROMANIA & MOLDOVA, July 2004, page 287 - AUTHOR'S CHOICE FOR ACCOMMODATION) 

De loin la meilleure adresse bon marché. Au nord de la ville, une petite auberge de jeunesse sympatique, assez confortable, bon marché et bien pratique puisqu’on pourra vous y organiser votre tour des monastères. Recommandé par de nombreux lecteurs. 

@ (le courier des lecteurs) «Sur recommandation d’un autre voyageur rencontré précédemment, je me suis rendu au Class Hostel, une charmante petite villa gérée par une personne don’t l’hospitalité, la disponibilité et le dynamisme ont dépassé tout ce que je pu connaître dans mes étapes précédentes.» Benoît Ernst, Rouhling. (LE PETIT FUTE ROUMANIE, 2006/2007, page 413.)

 

"Moldavia's only true hostel. Monica, your interminably good-natured, problem-solving host, can arrange monastery tours. The rural Str. Aurel Vlaicu location will close in November 2007 in favour of a city center location: a flowery villa on Str. Mihai Eminescu, five minutes walk from the bus station." (LONELY PLANET ROMANIA & MOLDOVA, May 2007, page 273 - again AUTHOR'S PICK FOR ACCOMMODATION)

 

"On a quiet street (fork left at B&B Restaurant), this is a clean and friendly hostel with bunk-bed dorms, with glassed-in balconies, one double room, bathrooms uptairs and down and a kitchen (plus barbecue in the garden). Monica leads excellent trips to the monasteries. A simple breakfast (8 am to 2 pm!) of jam butter and bread and unlimited coffee and tea all day is included in the price; a full breakfast is extra." (ROUGH GUIDE, June 2008 - AUTHOR'S CHOICE FOR ACCOMMODATION)

 

Numerous editions of "LET'S GO EUROPE" and "LET'S GO EASTERN EUROPE" have also highly recommended HIGH CLASS HOSTEL SUCEAVA, BUCOVINA, ROMANIA
