Revolucion Hostel

Minsk

It's a typical cheap hostel, nothing special. The staff is nice. It's clean enough. The location is great, the city center, the subway is nearby.

Good hostel with hostel problems

I would have loved to give this place a higher rating but there were a few issues but I'll mention the good stuff first.

The location is fantastic, its about as central as you could hope to get between all the major tourist attractions in the daytime and one of the main drinking and dining areas at night.  The price was excellent too, the cheapest in Minsk on my visit.

The facilities are functional, a small communal kitchen, a cozy common room, a 24-hour reception and a convenient rooftop area for smoking.

The bad points:

Lockers are limited and some rooms didn't have any, there were a few extra ones in the common room but most of those were hanging open with no keys.

I felt the need to spend 10 minutes tidying the common room, clearing the bookshelves of years old catalogues and torn magazines and filling a bin with trash.

You must remove shoes at top of stairs and its a sea of boots and shoes at night.  Must you remove them for hygiene or is it because the walls to the rooms are so paper thin that no one could sleep if people walked around with shoes on along the wooden floors?  The thin walls are also the reason that even a quiet conversation in the evening incurs a visit from reception telling you to keep quiet.

The bedrooms are small.  They've gone for the "As many beds as possible" approach.  There was hardly any floor space in the 2 rooms I stayed in.

Why did I stay in 2 rooms?  Because they'd double booked our beds of course.  We checked in at 9pm, left our stuff and went out.  Came back in around 2 to find every bed in the room occupied and reception had to move us into a different room. after wandering around our first room in supposed disbelief as he didn't seem to believe it was possible despite other reviews commenting on the same issues.

In summary, I hope they read the reviews because they need to sort out the locker problem ASAP, carpet in the corridors would really reduce the noise issues and double-booking beds is an issue with the computer system or staff training ans should be an easy fix.

I would stay here again but I would hope that some of these issues had been addressed.

Aveage hostel in great location but with some problems

It's a great location, it's actually 5 minutes' walk from the main apartments, 2 minutes from the Nemiga center, 5 minutes from the subway too............... kind and friendly staff, clean environment, 4 large and comfortable room, bathroom ok.....the only negative note is that the wifi only works in the common areas, but with a little effort it adapts.........
