Our station is beautiful, but there is a huge claim to the local authorities, architects, and traffic police for the lack of parking for taxis. The same concrete flasks can be used to protect parking for three to five cars for boarding and disembarking passengers and install a taxi parking sign for no more than 10-15 minutes, for example. And not to catch taxi drivers with raids who are waiting on call for visiting guests and residents of the city.
I liked everything very much.
And the most important thing is cleanliness!
As well as everywhere we have been in Gomel and the suburbs. I hope that it will be the same for Belarus!!!
It's a great place. The building was built in the Stalinist style. And there are various catering establishments nearby. A trolleybus is approaching the station.
Architecture: 5.
Environment: 5.
Connectivity with urban infrastructure: 5.
Condition: 4. It is necessary to replace the doors, as these are outdated.
An ordinary train station, almost always clean, after the self-service ticket offices have been set up, I use them only, since there are almost no queues there
Recently, not all self-service terminals have been working, but the staff of the station ticket office will help you figure out how to pay with a card for everyone.
There are payment options for tickets, you can at the ticket office, or you can use a vending machine. Finally, tt has more or less sorted out the queue.
Beautiful building and good staff. Terrible catering. Previously, the Sleeper was famous for its solyanka and brisole. The ticket offices are convenient. Clear
The terrible work with tourists was in December. Tickets were issued for the group any way. Drunks were put in the carriage with the children. We bought group tickets, there were 4 seats left, I put one drunk in our car, as if there were no seats in other cars. The first time the man was calm, he went to sleep quietly.
But the second time we went, a couple of days later, a similar situation turned out, there were two drunks there. One with mats was already getting into a fight, the music was turned on all over. I had to call the head of the train.
It's very unpleasant.
The guides are well done! Very good service.
The toilet is paid (1 ruble) even for people with tickets, which in my opinion is unacceptable. At the same time, instead of toilets, there is a hole in the floor (in a civil version, but still). Luggage storage has been in operation since Soviet times, starting from Soviet 15 kopecks.
The station is good, especially impressive is the central building in the Empire style. There are small retail outlets. I did not like that the doors are not automatic (as in Minsk), it is very inconvenient when your hands are busy with luggage. Opposite the station, there is a small square with a fountain and several benches on the square. However, there are practically no trees, except for low thuja. It will not be possible to sit in the shade on a sunny day.
We need to take an example from the capital of the country. A USSR-style train station is, of course, patriotic, but some changes are needed in terms of combining two stations into one, to make a better filling of the station (now there are a couple of points). Now the station does not look tourist-oriented. There is something to strive for
Clean toilets, there is no crazy access system))) as if Belarusians are not afraid of anything)) with such a Father)) convenient location, large parking
In general, the station is not very bad in terms of convenience, one of those I have visited. In many ways, of course, in the old style, but this has its own charm. With the advent of electronic tickets, I hardly visit.
A well-maintained building, there are no long queues at the ticket offices, it is not difficult to navigate on the spot. There is a pharmacy and a cafe in the building.
In comparison with the last decade, there has been a significant improvement in the quality of service and living conditions of passengers, including food , prices are acceptable
The station is not bad. The toilet on the outskirts is paid (according to the card, they do not calculate what they came with and left with). 100 m away, there is a cafe in the hotel, for the same money you can drink water and go to the toilet.
