"Everyone stay away!!! They are claiming on all websites 3 stars but they don’t have any stars. They trap people with their star rating but it’s like a hostel with extremely rude staff. Terrible breakfast. Everything is outdated and very dirty. Lesson learned better to pay more and stay in a decent hotel with a pool and other amenities than this stinky, no amenities place. Ruined my trip to Minsk."
