We visited for the first time in the summer while in Vitebsk. On a whim we decided to see if they had an available room, which they did, and which we took. The room was clean, quiet and very contemporary. It overlooked a side street which we opened our window to when the temperature was warm. The staff was friendly and I'm sure we will return to stay again.
A good, quite cozy mini-hotel in the center of Vitebsk, almost on the banks of the Dvina River.
Interesting interior, with a focus on the history of the city, comfortable rooms (rested in a suite), pleasant and unobtrusive service.
The rooms are clean, you can see the concern for the condition of the hotel and the guests. Some household appliances are missing, such as an electric kettle and a microwave, which, however, are provided by the staff on request.
And, just when using the kettle, the only disadvantage of the hotel appeared: problems with electrical wiring. When the kettle was turned on, a power failure occurred within a few seconds, the room was de-energized (except for the kettle, at that moment the split was working, the refrigerator was charging the smartphone and laptop. The staff reacted quickly and turned the room back on.
A cursory analysis of the wiring (I am an energy engineer, so that there are no questions about competence) showed that the entire outlet load in a two-room suite hangs on a single cable, the second one, farthest from the input, part of which is also made on the basis of a PV insulated cable with a cross section of no more than 1.5 sq.mm. From here it became clear why when the load increased, a failure occurred. And why there was no kettle and microwave in the room initially). The staff is clearly aware of this "feature" of the room).
Summary: a nice cozy hotel in which it would be necessary to carry out minor repairs and redistribute the electrical load.
The hotel is located right in the center of all tourist attractions. Everything is within walking distance.
We had three rooms.
1 - suite on the 4th floor. It's a bit heavy without an elevator. The room is spacious, 2-room. But! We were in December, although there were no severe frosts, we were frozen. The batteries are slightly warm, we asked for help, fortunately the chief engineer was at the reception, he told us to turn on the air conditioner for warm air. Unfortunately, the air was warm, but this air did not reach the bedroom. And even if it did, it wouldn't be very good, because the air in the room was too dry, the windows weren't open - it was cold.
Oh, the other two rooms, the single rooms on both the 3rd and 4th floors, were very warm from the batteries and regularly ventilated. Here is such an incident.
Towels were changed every day in our suite.
We liked the food in the hotel restaurant, went to breakfasts and dinners. Breakfasts can be ordered as a set, or according to the menu. A la carte dinners. For money, the prices are average. Nearby, the Batkov Hut (a la Sovetskaya canteen) is cheaper, and nearby restaurants are more expensive.
Although the street where the hotel is located is pedestrian, you can park your car at the hotel.
