A straight-forward hotel without extra bells and whistles. All in all a perfect place to stay when you are mainly looking for a place to sleep. The location was quite OK and the room was clean and large enough. Stayed in a room that shared bathroom with another room, but the other room was vacant. In other reviews there were complaints about noise, but we had no issues with that. The breakfast was a little limited and served directly to the table.

Decent place, not far from center. Good restaurant inside!

Almost acceptable. Wifi doesn’t work in room most of the time, lift broken occasionally, breakfast is a lottery. But room is heated and cleaned!

Much better than how other reviews make it sound. I had the superior single room and it was newly renovated, clean, and modern, with a very comfortable bed. WiFi worked great. Breakfast was good ... similar every day, but fried eggs, sausage or ham, toast, coffee/tea, etc. prepared and brought to your table by a smiling waiter. All the staff had a basic level of English but if they got stuck, they used google translate. Location is about a 10-15 minute walk to the main boulevard and metro stop. Residential neighborhood is safe, full of locals walking their dogs, waiting for the tram, etc. If you’re expecting a Soviet experience with spartan furnishings, horrendous food and surly service, you won’t find it here, fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on your expectations!). Budget friendly and recommended.

Nice. No complaints. Comfortable and quiet. Close to grocery store of two blocks away.

The hotel is a bit out of the center, somewhat near Gorky Park. It is easy to reach from either the Train or Bus terminals by taking Tram 1, 4, or 7 just past Gorky Park, then head right for a block, then another right for about 200 meters. It is not elaborate, but the rooms are generally reasonable and generally some rooms available. One must pre book...why? I don't know. It is quiet place. It is an old USSR-type hotel...nothing too fancy. The restaurant downstairs is fairly good and reasonable. It is much more reliable than the "APARTMENTS" for rent, which one can never find, and they always claim you are not registered. and they are full. No one seems to speak English. I tried to stay 3 nights, and I have yet to even get in one...AVOID the "Apartments"..

Minsk is a beautiful city but it doesn't really cater for English speaking tourists. The hotel was very clean but third world as far as comfort. The restaurant plunges food at you that wasn't what you asked for and the menu was snatched from me with no explanation. I couldn't find anyone who was even remotely interested in listening to me. Except for one evening with a bar tender and his twin daughters. High fives girls

You get what you pay for. Cheap. Stained sheets.
