Positive:
1. Location in the very center (walking distance to 90% of the sights of Minsk (the remaining 10% by metro, taxi are very easy to reach). There are many restaurants, bars, unique shops within walking distance (5-10 minutes)
2. The entourage of the hotel is Soviet chic (this is both a plus and a minus).
3. There is a restaurant with breakfast, which allows you to eat quickly in the morning before the tour, but in my opinion it is better for such money to go to cornflowers or another restaurant.
4. The price. If I remember correctly, I gave a little more than 11t rubles for 2 nights.
Minuses:
1. The condition of the room (I compare it with Russian chain hotels) is at best threefold: the door handles are loose, the hair dryer should have been thrown out a long time ago, but it continues to work here, plumbing requires maintenance and repair, etc. little things.
2. The hostess girl, in comparison with her Russian counterparts, is absolutely not interested in working and being talked to. She is absolutely parallel to the guests and as a result, she doesn't care if you come yet or not. (she does not willingly answer questions, for example, he asked about the need to exchange the Russian ruble for Belarusian, how the breakfast system and luggage storage work. The girl answered as if I were a complete fool, although I immediately said that I had come to Belarus for the first time. After the eviction, the usual "how do you like it here? I liked everything or we can improve something."
As a result, perhaps I am spoiled by the Russian level of service and find fault. On my next trip to Minsk, I will choose a new hotel to compare with Garni, but this does not mean that I will never return to Garni again.
Hotel rating: cheap and angry
Good afternoon! We had a rest in Minsk from August 7 to August 10. Specifically, the hotel has a solid five: a nice, cozy room, clean, coffee, tea, kettle, hot water, friendly staff. Next time I will stay at this hotel, the location is very convenient. Now about the hotel restaurant: there are no complaints about breakfast. But one day we went to have lunch. It was our big mistake: the borscht was so thin that it felt like it was just a saucepan rinsed, well, the meat (it was not in the plate at all), but cabbage, beetroot, potatoes.... There was a feeling that these vegetables are in great short supply. By color, a certain pink substance called borscht ... a meat pan ... 400 g, by the way, the weight of the finished dish is indicated. Well, if together with a frying pan, then yes, 400 grams will be quite enough. Well, the prices were quite restaurant prices. Conclusion: I definitely recommend the hotel, the restaurant is only for breakfast, by the way, we have never seen visitors there either in the evening or in the afternoon, this also says something.
There were several nights, I really liked the hotel, the rooms are cozy, comfortable, and well-made furniture. The location is ideal in the center, while the street is quite quiet. It is close to the sights, and also close to the Cornflower restaurant, which is very tasty and popular. The bathroom in the room is spacious, the sink (faucet) was slightly leaking, we got a view of the street, opposite the cinema will open soon, the balcony was pleased, but it's a pity there are no chairs to sit in the evening. But we didn't like the breakfast buffet. The scrambled eggs and bacon are great, delicious, the rest is not very good...and there's not even any fruit. Somehow everything is very modest considering the price, we bought breakfast on the spot once. And we didn't go to it anymore, we ate in a restaurant, for this money you can eat delicious things there, until 11:00 breakfast is also served in almost all restaurants. It is much tastier and more profitable. In general, the buffet was disappointing, it is not worth the money spent. Well, I will not lower the star of the hotel for this. Because the main thing is that the room is cozy. The bed is large and the mattress is comfortable. A fairy tale for relaxation. Everyone at the reception is polite. Thank you for your hospitality, he will be happy to recommend your hotel and would like to come back to you :)
Let's start with the pros: The hotel is very well located, near cafes, shops, shopping centers. The staff is super, they were very friendly, told everything, showed everything. A week earlier they warned that there would be no hot water in the hotel, this did not upset us because we were traveling for one night, arriving we were pleasantly surprised that there was a boller. The rooms have solid furniture,(she reminded me of the Cosmos hotel in Moscow, only it's newer here). There is a kettle, tea, coffee. The breakfasts are gorgeous, it seems like only a little, but everything is so diverse-it's super! These were the pros, but we didn't find any cons. We are planning to visit Belarus next year and would also like to stay here at the Garni Hotel! Thank you so much for your hospitality!
A wonderful hotel in the heart of Minsk – the upper town. Everything is within walking distance, excellent cafes and restaurants, the historical center, Trinity Suburb, railway station, public transport stop. Cozy atmosphere in warm colors, lots of wood in the room decoration, which I really liked! Everything is in working order, cleaned and clean. There is a comfortable mattress, and the room even has a mini bar and a kettle. Excellent continental breakfast at the Pan Hop restaurant 👍🏻 I will definitely come here again 🤝
A good hotel for your money, with a good location.
We stayed at the Garni hotel for 4 nights. Check-in is standard, at 14.00. The room was given to us on the 2nd floor, it is very convenient to climb on foot, but by the way there is an elevator.
The building is old, the ceiling height is impressive. The room resembles an office, the furniture is solid. There are massive curtains on the windows, pickups with tassels. There is a carpet on the floor.
The bed is big, the mattress seemed hard to me, but I slept well on it. The pillows are just like my request, not big and also comfortable. The bed linen is snow-white.
There is a kettle in it, tea, coffee and sugar are replenished every day. There were 2 bottles of water (0.5) in the room when checking in. Then they were not put on. But there is a cooler in the hallway.
Separately in the bathroom. There are disadvantages, and this is not a convenient watering can that is low mounted on the wall and very high sides of the bathroom. There were no problems with hot water. The hair dryer is quite powerful.
There is an ironing room on the 2nd floor. The key can be taken at the reception.
The air conditioning in the room is not regulated.
There are no complaints about sound insulation.
Nice friendly staff. Both the reception staff and the maids. The maids came in every afternoon.
We didn't take breakfast, so I can't say anything about the food.
From what I want to draw attention to.
The first is a tired carpet. And the second is the bathroom, leaking plumbing, an uncomfortable watering can, high sides of the bathroom. The disadvantages are not significant for me.
Bottom line: the hotel pulls on its stardom, the location is the most successful.
We rested on 01-05.08.2024. Everything is fine in this hotel: convenient location within walking distance from the city center and many attractions, friendly administrators, quick check-in, elevator, good furniture, large bathroom with bathtub, good bed linen, cleanliness everywhere, excellent breakfasts in the restaurant "Pan Hop". I recommend it!
That's great! What I liked: the attentiveness of the staff, cleanliness, conservative interior, breakfasts. What's wrong: we lived in the attic, the roof heats up a lot during the day, it's stuffy, the air conditioner is weak, but at the end of August it's enough to open the window to the full and the evening coolness cools the room and gives you a good night's sleep. Location: in my opinion, the best. Near the upper town, there are a lot of pedestrian streets, there are shopping centers. Excursions to the castles started in a 20-minute walk from the hotel, from the train stations 20-30 minutes on foot (constantly going down) or 15 minutes by public transport. Near the metro, the park. It is more profitable to book on the hotel's website than through the island (we had it like that), whatsapp is answered quickly, all questions can be explained in advance. The world accepts cards.
Great hotel, just great. The ideal location is on foot from the center, on foot from all the places where you can and want to go in Minsk. We lived in a suite, so it has two bathrooms, we did not even expect this, it is very convenient for a family of 4 people. Clean, cozy, comfortable.
Very tasty, cultured, beautiful breakfasts. It is very pleasant to wake up at 8 a.m. to the sound of bells. Thank you, Minsk, thank you, Belarus ♥️♥️♥️ you are wonderful.
The hotel clearly pulls in more than 3 stars, we were told that 3 stars are due to the lack of its own parking. But we don't need it!
Nice cozy hotel right in the city center. The room is clean and quiet. A huge high bed, it's a pleasure to sleep on it! We were in October, it was cold outside, the room was warm, but not hot - just right. There is a blackout on the windows. I take off the star for the shower. The diameter of the watering can is 3 centimeters maximum. You might as well wash under the tap. This is not a shower, but a mockery. Plus, the hot water is not centralized, but from a tiny boiler. The instructions say that on average there should be enough water for 8 minutes. Then the second person, if you live alone, should wait 20 minutes for heating. How can I wash my face, wash my hair and take a shower in 8 minutes? This is no longer a hotel, but a military base for training soldiers!
A normal hotel. There is parking, which is very important for the center. Clean room, good furniture, good linen and towels.
I was surprised by the lack of a bathrobe and one-time dental cleaning kits / shampoo/conditioner. Usually hotels have it.
And a significant disadvantage is sound insulation. At night, you can hear everyone walking down the corridor and talking. I couldn't get enough sleep.
The breakfast is quite acceptable, standard. Although, for this money, I would prefer breakfast in a cafe, of which there are plenty in the area.
Good day to all! We booked a standard double room. The guest made an impression with its atmosphere. Location in the historical center, stained glass in the entire flight of stairs, room design. A convenient location to immediately stroll through the hospitable streets and beautiful places. The only thing that slightly overshadowed the rest was the situation with the bathroom, hopefully temporarily. Hot water is supplied from the boiler, there are instructions for use in the rooms, while you get used to it, you can harden yourself a couple of times)The reservation included tomorrow, it was on hand, there was no need to torment yourself with the choice of an institution and after breakfast you can immediately get full on the road. Breakfast includes classic sets to choose from: egg dishes, lots of dairy, a coffee machine, fresh fruits and vegetables.
We recommend this establishment for the price-quality ratio, location and delicious breakfast.
The hotel is perfectly located! There are two metro stations nearby, GUM, Town Hall and Upper Town. Stylish stained glass windows and an interestingly decorated lobby and rooms. The rooms themselves are very tired. The air conditioner is noisy, but it doesn't do any good. The faucet in the bathroom is leaking, the water is not leaving well. The refrigerator is very poorly functioning, weak. The breakfasts are good. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant - they cook great!
Great location. It was the first time we came to Minsk, so it was important to live in the center. Everything is nearby. The whole center with all the sights, you can walk everywhere, it was very important for us since we were without a car. Nice interior. Everything is clean and tidy. The staff is polite. We stayed for two days. On the second day, they offered to clean the room, but we refused because we could only say we spent the night in the room, the rest of the time we walked around the city. The windows faced the street, but it was quite quiet and calm in Princip, the windows were opened at night. In general, I really liked it. On the next trip, I think we will also stop in Garni
The location of the hotel is very good. In the center of Minsk, but not on the main highway, but on a small street. The rooms in the hotel are normal, for 3 stars, but the hotel leaves much to be desired. Especially the bathroom with a curtain, which is not clear why it is there, since washing under the shower is all over the floor. Thank God there is a ladder in the floor. The shower head is slightly larger in diameter than a hygienic shower...
I didn't like the breakfasts at all. It is easier and tastier to have breakfast in the most expensive cafes and coffee shops. There are many of them near the hotel.
A big plus
is the metro is within walking distance.
I really liked the hotel! Clean, cozy, very well located (everything is in the access area) - a cafe, a park, a temple, an island (where you can ride a catamaran or boat)! We had a rest from June 15 to 18, 2024, we were very satisfied, the hotel staff is polite, the kitchen is good (we booked with breakfast). Thank you all very much, I really didn't want to leave!!!
Great and cozy. In an old building with a local flavor. Just wonderful staff at the reception. They also organized a freezer for us, where we left the most valuable purchase for a few days (1.5 kg of delicious bacon). We went to the meeting in everything. I want to return to them. One wish for the hotel:it would be great if we added slippers and a dental care kit. The room is clean, the bed is comfortable, the bed linen is good. The TV was working. Tea, coffee and a kettle are available.
The hotel is beautiful.
Its advantage is in the location. The very center. You can walk to most of the attractions. The metro is a 10-minute walk away. There are a lot of cafes nearby.
but
I lived on the 2nd floor above the restaurant. There was a banquet on Friday, music until 23-00. And then the tables were moved until one o'clock in the morning, it is impossible to sleep if you are a light sleeper. + the general ventilation is rustling, it cannot be turned off.
Breakfast. Everything is beautiful. Dishes, service. The coffee from the coffee machine is good. But the main dishes are all cold (potatoes, pasta, cutlets).
Caesar salad today was yesterday's, with soft cucumbers.
A great hotel, with a great location. The most important thing is that the bed linen is perfectly white, as are the towels. Towels are changed every day, there is a kettle, a refrigerator, as well as tea, coffee and sugar. The cooler is on the floor. There were slippers in the room, as well as liquid soap and shower gel in stationary dispensers, shampoo and toothbrushes with paste, take with you, a sewing kit on request at the reception.The staff is responsive, but not intrusive (ideal for me) and yet do not forget that this is a mini-hotel and it has 3 stars, not 5!
There is a small grocery store nearby, but there are very few of them in the center, near a pedestrian street with a huge number of restaurants, most of all we liked with the name Odessa (there are delicious pancakes and the whole kitchen) . There is also a metro station, a railway station and many attractions nearby! Many excursions depart from the town Hall (3 minutes on foot) Gum, Independence Square is also nearby! In general, Minsk conquered us, and the hotel, thanks to its location, made it possible to explore the upper city as much as possible in a couple of days!
The hotel is located in the very historical center, in a building built in the 19th century, but beautifully restored. The interiors of the hall and rooms are stylized according to the era of construction. Everything is very decent. The rooms have beautiful wooden furniture, everything is comfortable. Breakfast at the hotel is a buffet. The menu is very varied and delicious. We really liked it!!!
The hotel is located in the very center.
I take off the star for the NON-working air conditioner and breakfast.
For breakfast (buffet), I recommend updating and replenishing the assortment and adding a variety of coffee.
At the moment, the cost of breakfast is not justifiably expensive.
The air conditioner did not work in our room, as well as the pump worked and made a sound every 15 minutes. I couldn't get enough sleep.
The room itself is not big, but cozy. There is everything you need.
The location of the hotel in the very center of the capital is fashionable to see many attractions if you walk, it's super
Parking is available inside the courtyard.
Very convenient location - in the very center. The rooms are clean, white sheets and towels, there is everything you need, interesting furniture, heavy, wooden, creates a special entourage. The staff is polite and friendly. The breakfasts are not bad, although some of the dishes were cold, and when one dish ends, they are in no hurry to replenish it, and there is a tray with two pieces of cucumber for 30 minutes.
08-10.03.24.
The hotel is gorgeous! Both the room and the reception and the halls on the floors. The interior is beautiful, the ceilings are high! A room with a balcony. The administrators are polite! The location is great, the whole center is nearby. Cafes, restaurants, town hall... everything is nearby. I liked the beautiful, clean city, and was impressed by the evening Minsk. 👍
The food in the restaurant is delicious, it will do for a 3* hotel. But you just need to pay attention to the wait staff-the waiters.
At breakfast in the morning, when there was nothing, I always had to ask for tea cups, then a jug of water, then plates, then bowls for porridge. Dirty dishes were not cleaned, although there were only 3 tables. So pull up the service to 3 stars. 😉. High praise for the hotel!
We actively vacationed in the Republic of Belarus and stayed at this hotel from June 13 to 28, 2024. The Garni Hotel is very well located: the very center and at the same time a quiet and peaceful one-way street. Next to the prosecutor's office and the Pobeda cinema. The staff is very friendly, the girls at the reception will tell you everything and tell you and advise. Breakfast was taken only once, because the excursions were from 7 a.m. Everything is very tasty and in abundance. Cottage cheese casserole with sour cream, mmmm. It's very tasty. The room has air conditioning, 3 towels per person, changed constantly. Cleaning is constant, they asked the girls not to clean every day, because they only slept in the room. Soap in containers. Shower caps, toilet paper. There is a kettle in the room, tea and coffee, sugar, glasses, cooler on the floor. The mattress is of medium softness, very comfortable. It's a pity that a double bed is two beds pushed together. Two chairs and an armchair. Lots of light, sconces above the sleeping areas. A floor lamp and a lamp on the table and a chandelier. Large mirrors 3 pieces. Wi-Fi is average, the video took a little longer to load than usual. We didn't notice any disadvantages, we were comfortable!
A chic classic-style hotel in the very center of Minsk. Excellent location, courteous staff, has its own small parking lot. The room is clean, comfortable beds, breakfast... there is breakfast.
Cons: it's strange that in such a very decent hotel there is not even a bottle of water in the room, let alone a mini-bar. But there is a cooler in the hallway where you can fill a kettle with water, as in a decent hostel.
There are no washbasins in the beautiful bathroom, except for liquid soap.
The sound insulation in the rooms is very poor.
Otherwise, everything is great!
The hotel impresses with its location, the very center of the city, the Town Hall is a 5-minute walk away. The room was a family room, very comfortable, with two bathrooms. The service as a whole is a solid four, cleaning is done, towels were changed. The breakfast is standard, you will not stay hungry. The building in which the hotel is located is old, very atmospheric, which emphasizes the interior.
We recently visited Minsk and stayed at this hotel. Very cozy. Clean. Responsive girls at the reception. They explained how to get there. The metro is nearby. Shopping centre. Everything is very good. The only negative. Our window looked out onto the street. In the evening it is very noisy from people walking in the cafe
The hotel was very pleased with the location. Separately, thanks more to the staff, responsive, always ready to help people.
Everything is clean, the rooms are spacious, and we got a balcony as a bonus. I recommend this hotel to everyone and of course I will never return to the beautiful city of Minsk and to this hotel!
The hotel is located in the historical center of Minsk. The building is a beautiful four-storey building of the 19th century.
Within walking distance of the railway and bus stations, attractions.
The rooms are clean and beautiful. The staff is nice and helpful. Excellent breakfast buffet. I recommend. We 'll come again .
Excellent hotel, extremely friendly reception staff, magnificent room on the attic floor. The hotel is also located in the very center of the city. There is quite a hearty buffet breakfast served in the restaurant with very pleasant music. I will be happy to come back here again!
I really liked the hotel. Firstly, the location is wonderful, in the center, 50 meters from the main pedestrian street. And all the main attractions are within walking distance. The rooms at the hotel are cozy and clean. The staff is polite and helpful. I definitely recommend it!
Great location in the city, beautiful building and rooms. There is a pedestrian street with many cafes and restaurants around the corner. The staff is polite and attentive. There is an excellent restaurant in the same building, the entrance is from the lobby of the hotel. Reasonable prices, delicious dishes. Parking for cars in the courtyard of the hotel. Near the old town, Independence Street. There are many attractions nearby. I recommend.
I have been in this hotel for 2 days.
I liked the hotel, it is located in the old town, you can say in the center.
The hotel has 3 floors, plus an attic on the 4th floor. There are 2 elevators. Restaurant.
The room was standard, 2-bedded. It turned out that the bed is 2 beds connected, I was upset at the beginning, but it turned out that the mattresses are high and you practically don't feel between them, this is a plus. I was pleased with the pillows and furniture.
What was not pleasing was the bathroom, or rather the bathtub itself. It was slippery, the handle for exiting the tub was loose, and the glass curtain was weak.
The room is cleaned, and everyone is given three towels. There is a storage room (cubicle).
Very tasty breakfast (buffet)
To sum up, the hotel is 4+, the quality price and location are super.
I recommend
The ambivalent emotions of this hotel.
Positive points:
- cool location
- polite staff
-availability of breakfast and its assortment
- there is an ironing room
The negative sides:
- cold dishes at breakfast, regardless of the time of visit
- for 4 days of stay, the bed linen was not changed, cleaning was done once (once we refused ourselves due to the late arrival of the maid)
-lack of tea cups and spoons in the room
-noisy operation of the air conditioner.
The hotel is great. Good location, it was possible to walk everywhere. The room is chic, clean, well insulated, interestingly furnished. The breakfasts are good, delicious, although there is a small variety, but we had enough. In general, I liked the hotel, I advise you.
The excellent location of the hotel, a good breakfast, rooms with antique furniture - it's okay if you don't find fault)
The room is clean, the linen is fresh and the bed is comfortable!
What didn't you like:
There are no bathrobes, the towels are very tired, the fringe is hanging around the edges.
There are no toothbrushes and paste, you will have to wash with a 2 in 1 product - gel and shampoo.
The main advantage is the location. The breakfasts are delicious, although not very varied. 1 type of porridge, no baking, only purchased cookies and cupcake, only Americano and espresso coffee. The room is a little tired. The interior is interesting, the furniture is mahogany, but the air conditioning did not work and the staff did nothing for 3 days, the administrators were very surprised every day and promised to fix it the next day. And there was a faulty shower head, it was also not fixed.
Nice clean hotel in the historical center of the city. There is a kettle, tea, coffee, slippers in the room. There is access to an iron. At the hotel, for an additional fee, you can have a great breakfast, Breakfast starts at 7 a.m., which is very convenient if there are early excursions. I will recommend the hotel to my friends.
We had a rest in two during the May holidays. We really liked it. A small cozy hotel in the very center of the city. There are many attractions nearby. The price for 4 nights pleased me. I recommend it to anyone who would like to see the city center. The photo shows the room and the view from the window.
Great hotel! The first thing I noticed was the convenient location in the center, not far from the train station. There are many cafes and restaurants for every taste on the quiet street.
The rooms are very cozy and clean. We were especially impressed by the stained glass windows, which create a unique atmosphere in the hotel. The attentive staff was always quick to respond to my requests and this made the stay even more comfortable.
On the ground floor there is a restaurant where delicious breakfasts are served, and in the evening this place with live music is ideal for relaxing.
Overall, I am happy with the Garni hotel and will definitely stay there next time.
A very good hotel in the very center of Minsk, with excellent rooms, near the railway station, a pedestrian street with cafes and restaurants, a large shopping center, etc. Very attentive staff, hospitable, polite, caring. I will continue to stay there with pleasure.
We stayed in April 2024. Excellent location on a quiet street. An old building with high ceilings. The suite is just wonderful. Bedroom, living room, hallway and 2 bathrooms. In the living room there is a sideboard with dishes and appliances, a sofa, armchairs, ottomans and a sofa. Breakfast is good at the local cafe Pan Hop, where you can also have a delicious dinner. The prices are average. There are no questions about the hotel, it's worth the money. I recommend it!
A very nice retro hotel! Quiet, calm, clean, very friendly staff! Delicious buffet, delicious at home! Very close to the center, everything is within walking distance! I really liked everything! I will definitely come back here! Everything is fine!
Great location. The staff is very friendly. The rooms are comfortable. Clean. The food is standard, well cooked. I recommend it to tourists who have come to see Minsk. It is better to choose excursions starting near the town hall. The Town Hall is 200 meters away.
A great hotel!!! Excellent location, all attractions are within walking distance. Polite and helpful staff!!! We had a rest from 20 to 23 August 2024, everything is just great, we will definitely return to this hotel again. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not a bad hotel, near the city center. Excellent location, parking, restaurant.
But there are problems, there is only one porridge and we started having breakfast at 9.10 and of course both porridge and scrambled eggs are practically cold. Good beds and bed linen, but the size of the blankets is too small, and if it was cool on the night of May 7 to 8, the size of the blankets could be wrapped up.
An incredible, wonderful hotel. Big, handsome, the guys at the reception are very polite and attentive. Security is at the highest level. The room is clean, beautiful, and large. We are delighted and will definitely come back.
The breakfasts are very tasty
Thanks to all the staff for our comfortable stay at the hotel during the holidays.The location of the hotel in the center of Minsk is the best for tourists.Only positive impressions: the room is cozy, has everything you need; clean, air conditioning, etc.
The location is good, around the corner is Freedom Square and the Upper Town at once. It was very convenient for us, because the collection for the tour was there, it took 2 minutes to go)
There is plenty to choose from for breakfast: hot dishes, salads, side dishes, sweets, etc. Delicious, satisfying! The hall is spacious, there are enough places for everyone.
The rooms are clean, cleaned every day. There is a kettle, tea and coffee bags! There is a water cooler in the hallway.
We were satisfied with the stay!
The place is super, the whole center is within walking distance, silence in the room, a cool mattress, a great breakfast for three. One disadvantage is the bath. You can wash yourself, but as noted by many, all the water is on the floor. Therefore, I recommend the hotel to upgrade, and people have patience with this opportunity.
