Great location. All the sights are nearby. Friendly staff. The rooms are small, but they have everything you need. Quite normal beds with clean linen, bedside tables, table, TV, refrigerator. By the way, there are enough hangers in the closet! Maybe we were lucky, but we couldn't hear the neighbors.
The disadvantages include a shower stall with a curtain - it is not very convenient. But there was always hot water.
The pool did not work during our stay, but we were warned about this in advance.
The breakfasts are delicious, the dishes are replenished quickly. But it is necessary to adjust the time, because excursions start at 8 and 9 in the morning and sometimes there are queues, or it is difficult to find a free table.
There is a panoramic restaurant on the 22nd floor. Delicious, beautiful, reasonable prices.
I recommend staying at this hotel.
The hotel is located in the center, next to the historical center, shopping center, chic park. It is very convenient that there is an ATM inside at the entrance, from which you can withdraw cash Belarusian rubles from the mir card. There is also a bar, a restaurant, a cafe, a pharmacy and a shop with souvenirs and groceries, by the way, the prices for groceries and alcohol are the same as in the supermarket. There are 6 elevators, but sometimes it is difficult to get into them because of "traffic jams". The rooms are small in size, but everything is clean. The windows open only at an angle, which, in the absence of air conditioning in some rooms, forces the door to be slightly opened for ventilation. The room has a refrigerator, TV and hairdryer, slippers, shower and hand gel, extra. There is no blanket, kettle or iron. There is a cooler on the floor where you can get water. Breakfast is a separate story: the food is delicious, quite varied, I really liked it, BUT... The queue is 50m to the elevators due to the fact that the vacationers themselves, instead of going in and taking a table, and then calmly coming up and picking up food, form a queue along the distribution tables from the entrance, respectively, there are slow comrades who do not know what to choose.. At the same time, unfortunately, the administration is not doing anything to fix this. I understand that this influx of tourists is due to the fact that 5-6 buses depart at once for excursions at the same time and all meet for breakfast, but there are many ways to avoid such traffic jams. This includes the arrangement of distribution tables and administration, tourists also need to be taught, we ourselves are kind of stupid. Overall, I liked it, despite some shortcomings, the impression of Belarus and the advantages of the hotel created an overall positive feeling from visiting this hotel!
July 2024
The hotel, in general, is not bad. Unobtrusive staff, clean, cozy. We had a double room - it was a little cramped for 2 adults and a small child (if you spread out an extra place (armchair-bed)), then there was nowhere to step. Daily room cleaning, change of towels, cooler on the floor, small refrigerator is present.
Of the cons:
1. The lack of air conditioning in the room is a real problem. At 27 degrees in the afternoon, suffocate. It's also a pleasure to sleep at night…
2. The hair dryers are very weak - neither dry nor fit. We tried it once and didn't try again. 🫣
3. We chose a hotel with a swimming pool. As a result, they broke off abruptly with him. It turned out that the pool was not working from July 1 to July 31. So when booking, be sure to check whether the pool will be open on your arrival dates.
I liked the city of Minsk very much, I recommend it
