Great hotel in a perfect location
Stayed here for two nights in August 2018 with a friend.
We were after a well located hotel for a good price and found this one online. We got an Uber to the hotel and the friendly and chatty concierge welcomed us.
As other reviewers have said, the hotel is decked out with plush wood. The staff member on reception was really helpful, spoke fluent English and checked us in quickly. The lobby has a few sofas and an atrium up through the hotel with lifts to the floors above.
We had a twin room which was very large and spacious (check out the photos). The room had fabric on the door and had big, comfy beds. There was also a desk, chair, small dining table with chairs, TV with a good selection of channels which included everything from Nickelodeon to adult stuff. There was a fitted wardrobe with a safe, a fridge and air con. We had plenty of room for our luggage and the room was spotlessly clean.
The bathroom was also large and had a shower over the bath, with plenty of hot water and good water pressure. There were two sinks, a toilet and a bidet. The towels were all fluffy and clean, plus they provided a good selection of toiletries. There was also the ubiquitous telephone by the toilet just in case you needed it.
Another quirk was there was an automatic light by the door to the room and the bathroom that was motion based. We couldn't find out how to turn it off. Otherwise, the fixtures in the room were all really modern and the decor was going for Eastern elegance.
The hotel's wifi didn't have the best signal strength and cut in and out a bit, but the speed was good when connected. The hotel also provided a turn down service. We didn't have breakfast here as it's right in the middle of Minsk so opted to head out.
Overall, I liked this hotel however my friend liked it more because of the great location.
