I have read all the reviews and want to put in a good word for the CP Minsk.
I've been staying here on business once per quarter for the past 5 years. Overall, I am very happy with the hotel, especially with the staff who are always friendly, polite and helpful.
As a Platinum level guest I always get a warm welcome and I am always upgraded to the Club floor with use of the Executive Lounge. The lounge has a nice breakfast spread and decent (but not great) selection of hors d'oevres in the evening (plus free wine and beer). It's great to have the lounge as a place to relax, since the bar allows smoking and can be pretty unpleasant.
The rooms are comfortable but a bit "tired". They need new furniture and a refresh. The desk chair is too low, which makes it uncomfortable to work at the desk. The free wifi is usually very good. There is always plenty of hot water, clean towels etc.
Finally, the gym is terrific. It is clean, has excellent equipment, and is rarely crowded.
One suggestion..Instruct the doorman that his job is not just to open the door but also to help the hotel guests bring their suitcases up the stairs to the front door of the hotel. This is my biggest complaint, especially in winter when the steps are icy.
All in all, I give 3 cheers and 4 starts to the CP Minsk.
