This was rude and terrible behavior from *Irina Sinitskaya, the director of the hostel, and I do not recommend this place under any circumstances while she is in charge of this place.
I checked in at around 17:00, 14.03.2024, and the kind Ukrainian woman met me and let me come in.
(I know all people because I lived in this hostel first days of February 2024.) I put my bags next to the my bed and laid on the bed. After 20 minutes I started to talk with my friend by phone. It was very serious conversation. in 15 minutes Irina came into the room and smiled me, I said I have an important conversation , I will come to you later and she nodded her head and left the room. 10 minutes later she came again and said PAY!!! I said okey no problem, now I will finish my call and come to you in five minutes. She: No Way! PAY right now! You have been talking with phone for more than hour(for her 10 minutes went like 60 min).
So I gave her 40 BYN (= €13) instead of 30 and added: no need to give me back my 10 BYN. She disliked what I said, so she threw the money to me and said rudely Get out from my hostel as soon as possible!!! I was just SHOCKED, how human can behave like this!? How can a person not care about how and where I should go in the evening at such a time to check into another place? for what reason??? NO REASON! Thanks GOD that I had friend who I could ask for staying. and SHAME on such people that make our world worse.
By the way I attach the picture from my staying in Jan-Feb 2024.
The Most Honest Review.
The best budget hotel in Minsk.
Pleasant owners who will help you with any request. A good area in which everything is within walking distance, including nearby grocery stores, the national trading house, a large shopping center with a food court and a cinema, as well as the national library.
New beds, bed linen with mattresses, washing machines, in general, the owners are developing their business for the better. One of the disadvantages is the poor plumbing in the shower, but this is not so important and can be quickly fixed.
A pleasant hostel with a lovely hostess who welcomed us, told us everything and showed us. You need to understand that for such a reasonable price as here, you just get a room in a house where you will have to share the amenities with the other residents of the house, and these tenants may be, um... different. We were lucky - a group of migrants from Central Asia, who were staying here when we moved in, left somewhere at night, so everything was quiet and peaceful at night. As it is, everything is clean and tidy, towels are provided, and the kitchen is on the second floor, where you can go in and have tea (the choice of which is quite good - you just need to bring something for tea in advance, since there are 2 refrigerators in the kitchen where you can put everything). They give out slippers at the entrance to the house (that's cool) and forbid walking down the street in them (which is also correct). In general, if you just need to spend the night without frills, you will not be confused by the slight smell from the two dogs living in the house, as well as the view from the windows of the local communal landscape is a great option.
A very cozy home hotel.
Calm, clean, there is everything you need in the room, in the bathroom, and in the kitchen!
Wi-Fi is available, if necessary, you can consult about the local cellular connection. Very convenient.
The hostess Irina is a hospitable, responsive, pleasant person to communicate with! He will tell you everything, show you, explain and help.
Two cute little dogs live in the house. Who live quietly and quietly do not disturb the lives of the residents. But they only touch with their presence!
The National Library of the Republic of Belarus, public transport stops, Moskovskaya and Vostok metro stations are located nearby. Shops and cafes.
The price is quite reasonable.
I recommend it!
With gratitude from the Urals.
I really liked: the location (near the metro, shops, the place is quiet, cozy), the service (there is everything you need, very clean, good linen, tea, coffee and many other pleasant little things), the atmosphere is benevolent, the feedback is excellent, the price-quality exceeds all expectations. Let's come back here again and recommend it to our friends!
The price is quite acceptable! I am a Belarusian myself, but I live in the Russian Federation.Pleasant atmosphere! Insanely soft beds, the blankets are tactilely pleasant. It was the best night in the last week traveling around Belarus!
Returning to my homeland, I was always dissatisfied with unreasonably high housing prices! UP to this point, thank you very much! If I'm in Minsk, they will only stop HERE!
Thank you sincerely for the pleasant atmosphere, tips and you signs that can really help you!
A normal price, benevolent hosts. I lived in a neighboring house where a hostel is organized, there is a kitchen, tea, Internet. This is one of the advantages. Disadvantages: during my stay, the lights were turned off and there was no hot water. The inhabitants of the international are mostly from Central Asia, but by the way they are very sincere people
The second hostel in my life, but I don't know where it could be even better! I really liked that the beds are single-tiered and neither you nor anyone will be above you. Quiet, comfortable, CLEAN, very very homely! I noticed such nuances that the doors and the niva wood are wooden, but there are no unnecessary creaks even! I love dogs, there are two funny cute dogs running around the house! Irina, you're just a smart girl, keep it up! I will only stay here from now on! Greetings from Donetsk!

The best budget hotel in the city. There are shops within walking distance, a 10-minute walk to the metro, the hotel is clean, excellent staff who showed and told everything. Wi-Fi is available. For that kind of money, the price-quality ratio exceeds all expectations. Thank you so much for the warm welcome, I will stop more than once and recommend it to my friends!
A wonderful hostel. Cleanly quiet. Everything is there. The hostess is good and friendly, she will tell you and help you. I recommend. Probably the best hostel in Minsk.
A very comfortable place. Each guest has a special attitude, an open and friendly approach, you can ask any questions and be sure that you will be heard, understood and will make every effort to make your stay comfortable! Belka and Strelka are separate charms!🔥🔥🔥
Many thanks to Irina, the owner of the hostel. Clean and cozy, almost like at home. There is a kitchen and several bathrooms. Smoking areas with a great sofa. And there are two wonderful dogs). From Moskovskaya metro station 7 minutes. On the way there is a Minsk Crystal Company store, a Red Food truck and a wonderful park. In general, I recommend it
A very pleasant hostess, the living room and the rest of the rooms are clean and cozy. Much has been done to make travel easier for foreigners. Not far from the place, a cinema, cafes and supermarkets are close enough
When we come to Minsk, we always rent an inexpensive private room. Friendly hosts, you can pay by transfer from a Russian card to a Russian one without commission.
A very nice, cozy, clean house. Irina is a kind, pleasant, interesting person. Great price. The house has everything you need to feel comfortable. Shops are nearby. There is a smoking area. And two dogs
A cozy, somewhat homely hostel, where they will always prompt, tell, and try to help. Comfort, again, coziness. I just don't want to leave. There is everything you need - a full kitchen with all appliances, utensils, a comfortable shower. It's always clean. It is located near a number of shops, cafes, bus stops and metro stations. The only thing I didn't like was the overly soft mattresses.
The hostel is nice, in a quiet area near the metro, clean bathroom and kitchen. The hostess is responsive, told how to get to the airport and shopping centers. The Wi-Fi is good. Greetings from Kaliningrad.
It's a great place. A three-storey cottage. Two family rooms on the third floor, one room on the ground floor. The second floor is shared. The kitchen is on the second floor. Everything is there. Two bathrooms (combined). The hostess Irina is very friendly and good-natured. You can pay by transfer to Tinek and Sberbank.
The friendly hostess, for the money that they rented, is not bad at all, but there are a couple of disadvantages, such as cobwebs in the rooms and in the bathroom, there is no curtain, but opposite the house. 😀

I recommend it!!!
Irina, the hostess of the hotel, is a person with a huge positive energy. From the first word you hear from her (and this is just a greeting at a meeting, when you only find yourself on the threshold of her home for the first time), you immerse yourself in her, she envelops you, and you no longer feel that you only met this person a minute ago. An amazing soul man! It creates a homely atmosphere so much that you really feel like visiting a relative. He will show, tell, and advise. A separate respect is for a place to sleep. It's hard to call it a bed, a bed, or anything else. You just drown in this soft cloud and hide yourself in the same soft and fluffy way that you wake up in the morning full of energy and do not feel tired from yesterday's hike through the entire Independence Avenue (10.5 km passed). The location is good. In the backyard of the cottage, which offers accommodation, you can arrange a great barbecue party with barbecue! The metro is very close - 800 meters. To the center by metro is a maximum of 10 minutes.
A helpful hostess, tea and coffee are included in the price. In autumn, guests are treated to apples. The Wi-Fi is secure. If the room is cold, an electric heater is provided. The hostel is located in a green area, jackdaws and magpies fly around, 10 minutes walk from the metro. The Slepnyanskaya water system with many ducks, geese and swans are within walking distance. If you are in good physical shape, then it is worth walking to the Tsnyansky reservoir.
For one night, for a maximum of two) everything is very cozy, but there seemed little space. But everything is cleaned up, everything is beautiful. There is a kitchen and a TV.
A great hostel for your money! There were some inconveniences with periodically weak water pressure on the upper floor and with the absence of curtains on the windows, but everything else is excellent and at a low price
Perhaps the best hostel in Minsk. Clean rooms and kitchen , fresh bed linen, friendly staff. A bonus is tea, coffee, sweets in the kitchen in the assortment, and other shampoos, soap, conditioners in the shower. I recommend.
