Stayed in many hostels around the world and this is by far the best one. Great location and good service. Comfy beds. Many toilets and showers every floor. A small gym. In what other hostel can you find a sauna? They also have some gym equipment and a cafe with very tasty croissants. If you are gonna stay in Minsk and in a hostel, don't go anywhere else :)

We are thrilled to hear that you consider us the best hostel you've stayed in and that you enjoyed our great location, comfortable beds, and the variety of amenities we offer. It's fantastic to know that our sauna, gym, and café with tasty croissants made your stay special.Your kind words motivate us to continue providing excellent service and facilities. We would be delighted to welcome you back anytime you're in Minsk!Best regards, The Urban Hostel Team

The facility is well-maintained. The activity room is big.
It is located in the city center, near the river. However, it is not near the metro line. You need to walk quite far from the metro station, it will be a problem if you have a heavy luggage. The kitchen is super small, it is the size of a closet. It Only has enough room for two people to sit by the dining table. And there is no stove. There is only a microwave, therefore you can only cook microwavable food there.
Response from Property: Thank you so much for your feedback — we are sincerely glad that you liked the condition of the premises and the spacious classroom! 😊 Our hostel is located in the heart of the city, so all the main attractions are literally within walking distance. It's only a 7—minute walk to the metro, and although it can be a little uncomfortable with a lot of luggage, we understand exactly how it happens, regardless of the distance — please take this into account.Our kitchen is small, but it is ideal for a quick warm—up, and on the ground floor there is a cozy cafe with delicious food, hot breakfasts and a convenient schedule. You can just go downstairs and enjoy the dish without too much hassle. We hope that on your next visit you will love our hostel even more — with its warm atmosphere, amenities and the feeling that you are at home here. 💛 With warmth, The hostel team

Location was great, close to National Opera and Ballet Theatre. Walked 5 min to a supermarket and 15 min to Galleria Shopping Mall. Metro Nyamigo Station was 10 min away. Had gym inside the hostel but kitchen was small. Only allowed few people inside.
Response from Property: Dear Guest,Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We're glad you appreciated our great location near the National Opera and Ballet Theatre, as well as the nearby amenities and metro station. We apologize for the limited size of the kitchen and any inconvenience caused; we are continuously working to improve our facilities. We hope to host you again and provide an even better experience.Best regards, Urban Hostel Team

The hotel is located a little outside the city center, near the opera house, in a small side street. From there, you can get everywhere very quickly, either on foot or by tram. I booked a small double room with a shared bathroom. As is always the case with shared rooms, everything depends on the other travelers staying at the hotel. At least I was lucky, and everything was fine. There's also a small café where you can get something to eat. The staff speaks English, which is great if you have any questions. All in all, I really enjoyed my stay. I can highly recommend it for a trip to Belarus.
Response from Property: Thank you for such a warm and sincere feedback — we are sincerely glad that your stay exceeded expectations! 😊I am very pleased that you appreciated the cozy location next to the Opera House, the convenience of the transfer and how smoothly the stay in a room with a shared bathroom went — this is really important, and we appreciate that you noted this.Our small cafe is like home cooking in the city center, and the staff is always ready to help in English — because we know how important it is to feel comfortable, even being in a foreign city.Thank you for recommending us to others — that's the biggest thank you.We look forward to your next visit with new impressions, a warm morning and the same feeling that you have found not just a hotel here, but a real home on the way. 💛With warmth,The hostel team

I traveled to all european countries, mostly solo, but this happened to me first time. I arrived to this hostel without reservation, blond lady at the reception told me that there is no bed. She promptly offered me staying in some mini-hotel 5min by taxi drive = which is upsell, but that is OK. I politely declined, and asked again if the hostel is fully booked so I cannot stay there. She said, yes it is completely booked. It was evening, I was quite tired to look for a place, I went outside and checked Trip.com. I can see there same hostel with the place for 3-nights I requested - so I booked it. I came inside, show the lady reservation, she said "yes, the place just appeared". Again, I am OK with upsells, just please do not lie to me. No apologies from her, just playing dumb. The hostel and my stay was fine, the reception lady was an issue.

The room was decent and well-equipped. Nights were very quiet, with little to no noise from other guests.

Decent. The service was excellent. However, it was too crowded, and the kitchen was too small.

It's a good enough hostel. Used as a long-term residence by some international guests. I would stay again, but its not much more money to just rent an apartment or hotel.
