Neman Hotel

We reached the Neman Hotel in mid-evening after a four-hour train journey from Minsk. The reception area was dim and uncluttered, quite the starkest hotel lobby I’d seen for some time, but the receptionist was Anglophone and helpful. Our room was on the first floor, reached by one of those corridors which seem to be unlit until you advance and trigger a sensor, or in this case a succession of sensors. The room was also on the stark side, and the beds were not made up – sheet and cover neatly folded, but that was all. Still, it was large, reasonably light, and if it had no safe, it had a fridge, which the old hand in me checked and had to plug in.||Breakfast bucked the trend of our recent trips by not being a buffet. We had a choice of four menus. I suppose my wife’s ham omelette was all right, but her tea was a cup of hot water and a tea-bag. I went for cornflakes (nothing like any cornflake I’d ever seen, and soggy to boot), curds with honey (heavy, teeth-coating, mostly got left), coffee and juice which it would have taken some effort to spoil, and a carton of yoghurt which was probably the safest thing on offer. The breakfast room didn’t have the empty modernity of the foyer – I seem to remember cornices and flowery carpet – but it would have been silent and cheerless if not for the presence of a football team from Minsk.||When we left the receptionist was very happy to print off our boarding passes for the next day. I didn’t finish the check-in until 7.25; the receptionist had the passes printed and ready for me even before I got down to the foyer. Just as efficiently he dealt with a request for a wake-up call – ‘reveille’, he called it – for a breakfast box, for a taxi to take us to the station at 6 a.m., and for the little slips to put in our passport to prove where we had stayed and for how long.||Other reviews praise the situation of the hotel. They are right.

Quite a nice hotel, probably the best in town. It's not a 5-star place, but you're in Belarus so standards are different here. Definitely one of the better places to stay.||||Having said that everything is a bit clinical in this hotel. At the same time my room was fine, nice view, good shower, breakfast was preset but decent and everything of interest just a few minutes away.

Great location, this hotel is within a walking distance from all tourist attractions. It is basically across the road from Grodno Drama Theater and next to St Francis Xavier Cathedral. Rooms are spacious and clean. Bathrooms are clean and recently upgraded. Breakfast is included, and guests choose from four options available, plenty of food. A little pricey for an average Belarusian, but a fair price for foreign guests.

The Neman has two restaurants, the classic, and the beer restaurant. Although in separate places serving different purposes, both are supplied by the same kitchen and share largely similar menus.|The manager there was very helpful and friendly, unlike the usual negative attitude presented towards Asians here. |Absolutely loved my appetiser, "egg plant rolls with walnuts". Lovely textures! Would have it again. |I enjoyed a very nice steak of salmon and caviar which was slightly overdone. Seasoning was spot on. |The restaurant on its own looks old fashioned, and on that day had some live music - a saxist and an accompanying singer.|On the whole, it was a nice experience.

Located right on the main square it is very handy for all the main sights and the pedestrian street with its shops, restaurants and bars.||||Good sized, light room with good sized bed.||||Air conditioning quiet but strong. Good hot shower, free wifi, fridge.||||Choice of 4 set breakfasts. Good food but slow service.||||Very slow service in the restaurant for evening meal.

To be honest; I didn't expect much when I saw the exterior - the façade doesn't do the hotel justice.||Neither does the foyer but what blew my mind was the size of the room and if you've ever had a complaint of low pressure when taking a shower - that will not occur at Neman Hotel! ||When it comes to breakfast; I didn't know what to expect (coming from Minsk where we're renting an AirBnB) I was pleasantly surprised by the service provided - interesting that you'll get four options to choose from & all include delicious bread!||I would not hesitate to choose Neman Hotel next time in Grodno

Hotel is clean, spacious and confortable. Central location. Breakfast is poor and only 4 menus are available. Service is quite slow and not friendly.

Our room 206, face to the main road, give us a lot of noise until midnight. The curtains were not blackout so at 4 am light enter in the room and you stop to sleep ! The shower was broken and some water losted. The breakfast is not buffet and you have to choose on a menu' of four options and it's poor. You cannot bring food by your own at the table in the restaurant, but I didn't care and I bought juice and sweetes and I brought at the table. Very unpolite waiter. Capuccino is not included and you have to pay 90 copechi !||Unbelievable !!!
