Viciebsk

Based purely on the quality of the hotel, I would rate it a two stars hotel. It dates from Soviet times, and so does the interior of the rooms. It's all very basic, and not exactly cheerful. It did seem to be clean enough though. Staff is doing what it is supposed to do, some with a deep sigh, others with a smile. Almost none speak any other language than Russian. There's a few things which could make you choose this hotel however. It's located in the very centre of Vitebsk, with the main objects of interest in walking distance. The other point is that Vitebsk simply doesn't have that much choice. So, if you choose this hotel, choose it for it's location, and do not expect much more.

The location was good and the price is also good. The receptionists are very helpful and they speak English. They are also very helpful when you send an email if you have any question before hands. ||||The only negative thing I would say would be the breakfast and that is because there is no English menu and unfortunately no one speaks English in the breakfast. The breakfast is not included in the roomprice so you have to find a way to order in the morning and unfortunately if you do not know any Russian, then there is absolutely no way you know what you are ordering which is disappointing. This could be fixed so easily, just an English translation of the menu... I hope they do this. ||Otherwise, yes the hotel is a bit worn out and old but the room is cozy and clean and I was there in January, weather outside was very cold but the room temperature was perfectly fine.

A very basic hotel though centrally located and ideal for business travellers who want to stay in central Vitsebsk. The rooms although they are clean are absurdly planned, poorly designed, with no air-conditioning making the rooms especially hot in summer and cold in winter. A very old-fashioned soviet-style public-run property with poor services including catering. It has 4 stars on the veneer which indeed strikes as soon as you step inside

Hotel is Soviet style multi-story building, very central, to the train station 5 min by taxi or a 20 min walk. Rooms (no AC, TV only Russian) start around $ 40 and are really Okay and very clean. Breakfast is included and not bad. Staff is nice and speaks English.

We arrived with my colleagues late at night, and the first accident happend in the lobby, when the receptionist was very rude to one of my colleagues. My room looked like one from soviet times. the windows I couldn't open, because they were scotched on the perimeter. in my shower-box there was no door, but a curtain, wich was too short to prevent water to leak on the floor, so later everything was wet. In spite of the fact that on the top of the building you can see 4 stars, there was only small bar of soap in my bathroom, there was even no portional shampoo or shower-gel. the breakfast was also very poor. I do not recommend this hotel.

Very beautiful city, which one should visit. Very friendly people, nice shops and interesting musea (Chagall e.g.).

It said the hotel wifi was free, but after the trip i got charged... but its probobly the only good place to stay in vitepsk.

nice river and night city view, but terrible food and strange staff in hotel restaurant
