Minuses:
The kitchen is very small and there is no hob. The staff does not remove food from the guests who have left - the refrigerator is simply overflowing with them.
There is a fitness area on the 3rd floor, which has not been used by any guest during the 3 days of stay. Why is it needed? It's not clear. It would be better to organize dining tables or a living room, so as not to put people in rooms with a sign "sauna".
Ventilation works moderately, especially in winter, and it is very stuffy in the eight-bed rooms.
Closets for some beds are combined, because the beds were placed without taking into account the geometry of the rooms.
A faulty hair dryer in the women's shower.
Pros: city center, free tea, clean bed linen, relaxation area on the 1st floor. There are enough showers so that there is not a long queue. A sufficient number of outlets. Individual bed lighting. In principle, good beds are not creaky.

I liked the hostel, the service is on the level, the staff is responsive, they will help in any situation, the rooms are comfortable , there is a leisure room , a cafe , you can easily have a snack. Prices are not high for a big city.Every evening, the conference hall hosts evenings of various kinds (music, games, English, oratory) for guests of the capital and residents of the hostel

Do you want everything within walking distance?attractions, restaurants, cafes, shopping center, embankment, metro. Do you want evening leisure? every day something happens, from banal things like watching movies and playstation, mafia to public speaking courses and concerts. Do you want to meet new people? There are a lot of residents from different countries and speakers of different languages. In general, for me, as I understand the difference between a hostel and a hotel, and I understand the possible disadvantages of hostels, everything was fine.

A clean, cozy hostel. I lived for a week. There are several convenient common areas where you can stay before and after check-in. A nice bonus, there is free tea and sugar. The kitchen has common utensils, plates, mugs, spoons, forks. There is a refrigerator, microwave, electric kettle. There is no stove for cooking. But there were craftsmen who even cooked fish soup in the microwave with me!))) There were no queues for many showers and toilets. There is always a free shower and toilet. Toilets are also often cleaned. There was almost no such thing as you coming in and a dirty push. As for the beds, the mattresses are comfortable, there is no such thing that something "presses into your rib" in the likeness of crossbars and springs. The pillows are comfortable too. The bed linen is always clean, it is changed every time a person moves out, I have personally observed it more than once. Each sleeping place has its own drawer for things, you can close it with a small padlock. Which you can buy at the reception or just bring your own. In general, it is not necessary to carry everything of your own. At the reception, you can buy everything you need or take it as a deposit.
From the wishes, it would be nice to hang curtains on the sleeping modules for more privacy. Many people hang towels as a curtain... Boil the kettle in the kitchen with citric acid at least once every three days. And then there's such a sediment in it that it's scary to look at. It would be nice to hang signs on the doors so that the front door does not slam, so that this is the rule, you constantly wake up from this and listen to music or watch videos with headphones.
Of the disadvantages, a small kitchen, only two people can fit there. If a person is sitting at the table on the right, then he covers the urn with himself. To throw something out, you need to put your hand between his legs... If he is sitting on the left, then the problem is to go to the sink and to the kettle...
As a pleasant bonus, various events are held on the ground floor in the evenings, it was interesting to go a couple of times.

An old building on a steep descent from Troitskaya Mountain to Svisloch, the filling is modern and comfortable. There are even single rooms. The place is historical. All details are on the hostel's website.

Great place! For the second time in Minsk. And this is the second time I come to this hostel.
1. Location: It is located in the center, in the very heart of Minsk, but at the same time the prices are affordable and quite affordable.
2. Inside: the rooms are not tubby, the beds are whole and reliable. The linen is clean and fresh,
The hostel does not look shabby.
The gym is small.
3. People: The hostel is international, so you can connect with different countries, which is interesting. stand-ups on Thursdays))
Excellent staff, always in touch. They will help, answer questions, find a place at any time, thanks a lot for that! They will help translate Belarusian fairy tales)))
4. Among the disadvantages: the top shelf always gets. Can I make it possible to choose a place when booking? Lower/upper.
In the mixed rooms on the 2nd floor, there is a strange smell in the shower, which is no longer on the 3rd floor. I tend to think that men also go to one of the showers on the 2nd floor, which makes the smell strange and appears.

A great place for an inexpensive stay!
The hostel is located in a convenient location, close to public transport and with a cafe inside. The staff is friendly and helpful, always ready to help with advice or recommendation. They always keep in touch from the moment of booking until check-in.
The rooms are clean, cozy and provided with everything you need. The common areas are also pleasant and cozy, and most importantly, there are several of them. A good choice for those who appreciate comfort and economy!

Great place. Atmospheric. I stayed with my wife for 5 days.
Advantages that I can highlight:
1. Very friendly staff, without pathos, but cultured and responsive.
2. You can take a SIM card of a local operator with unlimited for an adequate price, it turned out cheaper than taking it in the salon. I took the A1 SIM card, the connection was good within Minsk.
3. Cozy rooms for two.
4. There are both shared toilets and showers, and separate ones where you can safely wash and think on the throne of wisdom.
5. Location. There is an indisputable, cosmic plus. Urban is located right in the center of the city.
6. On the ground floor there is a cooler with water and tea, free of charge.
7. There is a cafe where you can have breakfast, and, in general, eat.
8. There is a recreation room with a curling iron, table football, telecom.
9. There is a coworking area, a lot of outlets =)
10. Free Wi-Fi, enough speed for mail and videos on YouTube.
11. There is a small park of bicycles that can be rented.
Minuses:
1. I understand everything, there are a lot of people, but I would like a slightly cleaner shared toilet. Not critical, but it would be a little cleaner. And so everything is cool and without questions. Of course, there are more questions for vacationers: please write exactly guys, aim as expected. And clean up your hair and snot from the sink.
Results: A great place to stay in Minsk, and even in the city center. For a normal price.

The best hostel is also in the very center, you can run along the embankment in the morning and watch the opera in the evening. Additionally, I washed my clothes, went to the sauna and finally played the piano… Now it will be difficult to pass by such a space and not go into a cafe :) of the disadvantages, probably only the price will be

Excellent hostel, clean, tidy, stylish design, fresh furniture, bed linen, towels. Helpful staff, showers and toilets have booths and there are separate rooms. There is a kitchen, a cooler, tea, sugar, glasses for free.
But there is a very strong audibility, especially when families with rabid children live nearby.

Cons: dirty, not comfortable bathrooms, which stink of piss.
The sleeping place itself smells bad, the walls are stained with something, upholstered furniture in common areas is stained and streaked, the rooms are stuffy.
Pros: clean bed linen, location in the tourist center 20 minutes on foot from the main walking places, always free water and tea. There are places to work on a laptop, two simulators. In general, the building is pleasant with a fresh renovation.
Otherwise: a towel is secured, a lock on the drawer to buy, there is some kind of cafe at the hostel with a poor menu, a small kitchen with dirty stained dishes. Lamps with motion sensors in bathrooms and common areas: you need to dance for the light to work.
Conclusion: cheap and angry.

The hostel is of a very high level. excellent, very competent polite staff, cleanliness, order, internal activities, very cool organization of all processes and spaces. There is a character, branding, passion for details, historical background, etc. - everything from the point of view of the classic culture of the hostel is very very good. The only disadvantage in my personal opinion is the separation of the kitchen and living room - usually all good-natured communication starts exactly where they cook, eat and hang out, but here these rooms are separated - the kitchen is tiny, uncomfortable, they cook and eat a maximum of 1 person, there is no particularly friendly atmosphere (Otherwise everything is great

The price / quality ratio is consistent (because the price is not cheap - a day for 213 rubles. this is a wow). The toilet leaves much to be desired - but this is rather the fault of foreign visitors, who are not always accurate, and perhaps not everyone has heard about the invention of the brush).
But compared to the hostels in Warsaw, Krakow and Wroclaw, this is heaven and earth, in favor of Urban (although again, see the beginning of the comment;)

Be sure to read my review, it's just a laugh. We booked their "last" room for the night for 8,000 thousand Russian rubles, for some reason I didn't think to ask for a photo, we arrived. They gave us the key to the room, which said "sauna" on it, when we got up and an employee opened the door for us, I was speechless, there really was a chest of drawers with a wooden sauna, and mattresses were laid on top. There was no window, no ventilation, and it smelled of construction materials. I asked the employee, "why is this a sauna?" He said nothing. I told him we weren't going to live here, and he returned the money. Guys, this is just a shame, I went to see for the sake of interest, in Moscow, in the area from which it takes 15 minutes to get to the center by metro, a hotel room with a toilet, shower and all amenities cost 6,000rubles, in a 3* hotel, not in a hostel.
Did you want to rent a small room to people for 8000rubles, laying mattresses on top? Do you even have a conscience? Is this Belarusian hospitality? It's a shame, you didn't frame your employee too badly, he already blushed.

The hostel is gorgeous! A group of students came here to practice, the rooms are in great condition. Showers and toilets are also available. There are separate mini-coworking spaces, there is also a common space where you can play mafia and any other games (administrators, even without words, helped with the atmosphere, connected music and displayed pictures on the projector).
The only thing that turned out to be a surprise for me personally was the absence of a stove. But somehow I managed without her.

A good hostel. Several floors, shower, toilet, cafe, recreation room. Rooms for 6 and 8 people. The beds are two-tiered, with sockets above each bed. The shower cabins are combined with a toilet (one large room). The cafe is comfortable, with its own charm. The administrators are very polite, responsive, and will prompt you on any issue. There are tables and chairs in the corridors, with sockets, a mini work area. The key to the room is electronic, everyone has it personally. Everything is clean. According to the location, after leaving the metro station, after walking for 5 minutes, I was on the spot. I recommend tea with sea buckthorn in the cafe, it's something (be careful who has diabetes, it's very sweet).

A nice hostel with an excellent location. If you come for 2-3 nights, it is an ideal option. In the case of a long stay, there are some nuances that would be great. The entire hostel has one refrigerator for guests, which is always packed to the brim. And there are shortcomings in matters of cleanliness (they do not always wash the floor efficiently, etc.). In general, I am happy and glad that I stayed in this hostel.

The most conveniently located, cozy, clean, thoughtful space for guests.
You can have breakfast in the cafe on the 1st floor.
Unfortunately, the sauna was not working on our arrival.
Of the disadvantages, it is (perhaps) better to make bedside curtains than an existing fence so that the light from an individual lamp does not interfere with roommates.
Otherwise, everything is fine.

In short, pay and do not hesitate.
If you want to learn more :
1. Convenient location. I don't need parking, but I have it. Nemiga metro station - 550 m
2. Amenities. This is the first time I've seen so many toilets and showers, both shared and something like a combined bathroom. I have never stood in line for 5 days of stay
3. It is cozy, although there is not enough space. A hair dryer, iron and other buns are either free of charge or for a nominal fee. There is even a sauna
4. Every day there is some kind of movement. Admission is free for the residents of the hostel
Recommend. The price/quality ratio is straight top

A hostel where you can feel your community. You live a little bit in the atmosphere of a student dormitory.
A very thoughtful renovation. Convenient sockets, hooks for clothes - exactly where they are needed.
But people are still strangers, and sometimes it's annoying. And the hoods don't seem to work very well in the toilets/showers.
