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 impressions of the hotel are mixed. The advantages include a convenient location in the center of the Old Town, delicious breakfasts, courteous staff, and the presence of a sauna. The decoration of the hotel is retro (there are many antique household items on the stairwells, floors and rooms, it is not very clear what years, a kind of vinaigrette from different eras), which can be attributed to both the pros and cons. The idea itself is original, such a hotel definitely stands out from the rest. But the side effect is a noticeable smell of junk on the floor, which is not surprising, given the abundance of ancient things and the age of the building. The room also had a smell, but to a lesser extent, in addition, the room can still be ventilated. There is no elevator, of course, on foot to the 4th floor with suitcases. The room is spacious, but, in my opinion, uncomfortable and gloomy, although they tried to make it in the same old style. Translucent curtains on the windows, no thick curtains! Besides, it was cold at night, I slept under two blankets. Breakfast is not included in the room rate, a complex one costs 15 rubles. We took the menu, the price was about the same amount (I liked the breakfast). We were also unlucky, the hot water was turned off on the day of departure, but we were offered to use the shower in the sauna. To summarize: the hotel is suitable for those who like to take an excursion into the past, visiting their grandmother, or even great-grandmother, but at the price of a modern hotel)
