Positive:
1. Location in the very center (walking distance to 90% of the sights of Minsk (the remaining 10% by metro, taxi are very easy to reach). There are many restaurants, bars, unique shops within walking distance (5-10 minutes)
2. The entourage of the hotel is Soviet chic (this is both a plus and a minus).
3. There is a restaurant with breakfast, which allows you to eat quickly in the morning before the tour, but in my opinion it is better for such money to go to cornflowers or another restaurant.
4. The price. If I remember correctly, I gave a little more than 11t rubles for 2 nights.
Minuses:
1. The condition of the room (I compare it with Russian chain hotels) is at best threefold: the door handles are loose, the hair dryer should have been thrown out a long time ago, but it continues to work here, plumbing requires maintenance and repair, etc. little things.
2. The hostess girl, in comparison with her Russian counterparts, is absolutely not interested in working and being talked to. She is absolutely parallel to the guests and as a result, she doesn't care if you come yet or not. (she does not willingly answer questions, for example, he asked about the need to exchange the Russian ruble for Belarusian, how the breakfast system and luggage storage work. The girl answered as if I were a complete fool, although I immediately said that I had come to Belarus for the first time. After the eviction, the usual "how do you like it here? I liked everything or we can improve something."
As a result, perhaps I am spoiled by the Russian level of service and find fault. On my next trip to Minsk, I will choose a new hotel to compare with Garni, but this does not mean that I will never return to Garni again.
Hotel rating: cheap and angry

The hotel is gorgeous! Both the room and the reception and the halls on the floors. The interior is beautiful, the ceilings are high! A room with a balcony. The administrators are polite! The location is great, the whole center is nearby. Cafes, restaurants, town hall... everything is nearby. I liked the beautiful, clean city, and was impressed by the evening Minsk. 👍
The food in the restaurant is delicious, it will do for a 3* hotel. But you just need to pay attention to the wait staff-the waiters.
At breakfast in the morning, when there was nothing, I always had to ask for tea cups, then a jug of water, then plates, then bowls for porridge. Dirty dishes were not cleaned, although there were only 3 tables. So pull up the service to 3 stars. 😉. High praise for the hotel!
A chic classic-style hotel in the very center of Minsk. Excellent location, courteous staff, has its own small parking lot. The room is clean, comfortable beds, breakfast... there is breakfast.
Cons: it's strange that in such a very decent hotel there is not even a bottle of water in the room, let alone a mini-bar. But there is a cooler in the hallway where you can fill a kettle with water, as in a decent hostel.
There are no washbasins in the beautiful bathroom, except for liquid soap.
The sound insulation in the rooms is very poor.
Otherwise, everything is great!
