Otel' Gubernskiy

Hotel with a good location and friendly staff. Room is spacious. Nothing to complain about. There are several restaurants in the vicinity and a big mall for shopping. Nice choice.

Picked hotel due to good price and location. |Location was indeed excellent - in the heart of the city. There are different restaurants in the vicinity - inexpensive and top-priced.|Hotel's interior was really good. The building was remodeled from apartment building, therefore rooms are basically apartments. Large room, large bathroom. A/C, TV, bathroom equipment was new and very good. |Very quiet environment. |Free wifi.|Didn't have breakfast due to early departure, but they provided with nice lunch box. |Service was excellent.

The hotel is definitely one of the best in Minsk, not cheap, and absolutely reasonably priced.||||The building has been renovated recently, and rooms are in a good shape. ||||The hotel is relatively small, and hard to find even if you are local. Metro station is nearby (~5-10 min walk), and Uber works in Minsk, however Uber driver may not be able to locate the hotel quickly, give them some 5-10 minutes extra, don't plan your arrival time too precise. Note that both the airport and the main railway station in Minsk are located on the other side of the busiest central road to the hotel, which can add some 20-30 minutes in a traffic jam if you are travelling between the hotel and that locations in the peak time (8am-10am, 4pm-7pm).||||There are some little but important details which can make your stay pleasant far above your expectations:||1) If you are lucky, you may be granted early check-in for free (I was, thanks a lot to the hotel receptionist and cleaning service).||2) The hotel restaurant works in mornings only, it opens at 8:00am, but for me and one more customer the exceptionally good breakfast was ready by 7:45am. I am very grateful for that!||3) The hotel is located in a quiet district, surrounded by three-floor old buildings, and the hotel building is similar to them too. Thus, no noise was heard at night, at all.||4) Every room has its own private wi-fi router, thus you do not share a wifi with many people, internet connection is reasonably fast.||||Let's move to some little minuses:||1) Hotel staff can be really tired, they do have 24 hours long duty (I mean, the same receptionist stays at the reception for 24 hours, as far as I understand, then he/she has two days off, then the duty repeats). In my case, a cleaning lady forgot some trash on a table in the room, but I don't care about that too much, because if I work 24 hours continuously, I doubt I can forget even my name at the end of the duty.||2) laundry service, which the hotel relies on, may not work well enough. However if notice that the towel has spots, just tell the receptionist, and they change it instantly, no problem.||||Hotel provides you with a bathrobe and slippers, which is specifically important and must be a standard everywhere, but in fact few hotels with less than 5 stars do it. Thus, this hotel deserves 5 stars for sure.||||Complimentary cooled and hot water is in the device outside of the room, and you can use tea bags provided in-room to make a tea.||||Do not drink tap water, it's not designed to be drinked in Minsk. Use still water from the water cooler in the corridor, or bottled sparkling water in the room.||||If you need to eat something in a day time or in the evening, there are several eating places around the hotel. There is no room service in the hotel!||||Depending on your trip purpose, the location of the hotel can be its good or bad, for business travelers it's not very good, but acceptable. Be prepared to wait for a taxi for at least 15 minutes, even for Uber. It's because Uber does not have many drivers in Minsk, and other taxis are traditionally not fast too. Taxi is cheap, comparing to any European city, thus always choose the fastest option.

A small hotel in a convenient part of the city; we were able to walk everywhere we needed to. Rooms are simply furnished, but clean and spacious. The breakfast buffet was great: with a menu of dishes cooked to order. Reception staff were welcoming and helpful.

Very nice room wirth a great bathroom, barthrobe und all the things, that you need. The bed was much bigger then normal beds and you can sleep wonderful. The room service ist excellent und the service from tehe reception was fine und very quickly. In the near of the hotel you can find some good restaurants an d bars und the hotel is not far away from the centre of minsk.

The room was almost exactly like on the pictures. Huge rooms, huge bed. Also spacious, completely equipped bathroom. The breakfast was good. Also fresh pancakes and omelets. The service was exceptionally good and respectful. Maybe some minor language issues but nothing serious. Also very nicely located.

Minsk is a beautiful city and the Gubernski Hotel is situated within walking distance of most of the interesting sites. The room was large and the bed huge. The bathroom was also a good size. The receptionists who appear to work long hours were very helpful and friendly. The only reason I did not give this hotel a higher rating was because the carpet in the bedroom had seen better days and in my opinion should be replaced. However I would return to this hotel.

I stayed at this hotel for one night, since hotel prices were quite high at Minsk at the usual chains - it felt like the local currency was quite strong compared to their neighbors in the region.||It is on a narrow street, and does not feel like your usual hotels. Rather old looking building with thick walls (gets cold there, and very Russian).||Wi-fi was ok, room was huge!, with an equally humongous bed! As I said, it did not have the usual hotel feel, but it was comfortable enough for my one night stay.||||I was quite excited when I saw tea/coffee in the room, but upon asking where the kettle was, I was pointed the water dispenser machine's hot compartment in the corridor. I prefer my tea water to be boiling, so that was a let down.||||Overall, I was not disappointed. I would still look for an alternative when I visit Minsk next, but wouldn't have any issues to go back under similar circumstances.
