A great hotel. There are no luxury rooms for overprice, but who needs what. I found what I was looking for. Firstly, the location: the center of Minsk, 5 minutes walk from the Akademich Nauk metro station. Secondly, small prices. Thirdly, there is a cafe with room service, but it was not possible to look into the cafe - I ate in the city. Fourth, cozy rooms and pleasant renovation. Fifthly, there is a Botanical garden opposite - fresh air and a pleasant view from the window. A moderately noisy street, it's like being lucky with the windows where they will go out. Well, the most pleasant thing is the polite and friendly staff of the hotel. The reception staff are very friendly and even sincere people, thank them for that! If you want to stay in Minsk close to the metro, inexpensive and feel comfortable - rent a room in Akademicheskaya on Surganova 7.
Advantages of the hotel: convenient location, proximity to the metro, friendly staff. Of the cons: It's not very clean, especially in the bathroom. The Ala Chinese cafe has a strange menu and unhurried waiters.
But the main disadvantage is that the hotel is located on a busy Surganova Street, the traffic is very active almost around the clock. My windows overlooked this street and it seemed like trucks were driving right in my room. I tried to solve the problem by closing the eye, but because there is no air conditioner in the room, in the heat of 30 degrees it turned out to be not the best solution. Two sleepless nights in this hotel spoiled the impression of Minsk.
