Guest Reviews

• Freds (10/5): - Yes
• Alena (4/5): - The location is ok. Dirty.
• ??????? (8/5): - Everything is good
• Gregory (10/5): Nice hotel - For the first 5 days wi-fi didn’t work at all, contacted front desk a few times, it did work for the last two days; it was some disappointing.
• Svetlana (10/5): Valuta for penger - Hyggelig hotell som ligger litt utenfor bysentrum. Jeg tok trolleybuss nummer 36 som stopper rett ved siden av hotellet. Det tar ca.13 minutter fra togstasjon til hotellet. Hyggelig og hjelpsom personal som er tilgjengelige 24/7. Jeg var fornøyd med oppholdet. Kommer gjerne tilbake.
• Artjoms (8/5): - Reasonable priced hotel with free breakfast.
• Detlef (4/5): - Das Hotel ist nicht wirklich zu empfehlen. Mein Zimmer war schmutzig. Durch das Fenster konnte man nichts mehr sehen so verschmutzt war es. Während meines gesamten Aufenthaltes (4 Nächte ) wurde das Zimmer nicht gereinigt. Es gab noch nicht mal einen Mülleimer. Beim Frühstück gab es eine Sorte Wurst und eine Sorte Käse. Das war es. Ich kann das Hotel nicht empfehlen.
• Masud (10/5): 4 Star like Service - This Hotel is a two Star Hotel, but they provide Service like 4 star. Amazing. Highly recommended.
• Lucas (10/5): Maravilhoso. - Tudo perfeito.
• Daniel (10/5): Super Preis/Leistung, Frühstück inklusive - Günstiges, aber für den Preis gutes Hotel. Frühstück ist im Preis inbegriffen. Für ein 2* Haus 10/10 Punkten. Sonst würde ich 7 geben, da die Möbel sehr einfach sind und ich einige wenige Haare auf dem Bett hatte. Sehr bequeme Betten, große Räume. Sonst sauber.
• Maria (10/5): - Mit allen zufrieden
• Elena (8/5): Decent - The room was clean but the hotel need a bit of a revamp. The shower had mould in it, all the furniture is a bit old too. But lovely views from the top and breakfast included.
• Natallia (10/5): - Etwas zu fahren vom Bahnhof, aber das Hotel selbst ist im top Zustand, das Frühstück ist sehr lecker gewesen, kann nur weiter empfehlen!
• Mikhail (10/5): - Very good
• Ante (8/5): - Everything was good, recommended for anyone looking for clean, safe and friendly accommodation.
• Evgeniy (10/5): - Alles goede!
• Mikhail (8/5): - Хорошо, не дорого, уютно
• Nadezda (8/5): - X
• Oguzhan (10/5): - I like east time hotel, stuff is nice Julia is always helpful thanks ☺️
• Info (2/5): - Apartment address wrong first go to an other place pay there then come back to apartment. Our experience so terrible never suggest anyone
• Romas (10/5): - Great breakfast large rooms good location
• Jolanta (8/5): - The breakfast is great, the staff is polite The only and major disadvantage of the hotel is the uncomfortable beds
• Volha (8/5): - Тихо и спокойно.
• Arturs (6/5): - Норм
• Sergio Alberto (10/5): - The things I liked the most were its cleanliness and location. The only thing I didn't like was that the WiFi conexion wasn't very stable. All in all, I would definitely stay again.
• Peter (8/5): - Gut
• Isa (10/5): Another pleasant experience - It was a two-days stay in the Capital of Belarus and as I visited already the property I went directly for the East Time Hotel. Pro: easy to reach from the Central Omnibus/Railway station ( my case) flexible arrival/departure options, friendly helpful staff, nice and reach breakfast (really). I do recommend for any single and busy person.
• Igor (10/5): Nice bed and very good breakfast for the price B&B - Excellent location of the property, outside of City centre, therefore calm and quiet. However you could always call a cab and within few minutes you’ll get any place in the town. The taxi ride is reasonable cheap in the city.
• Denis (10/5): wonderful - Breakfast is amazing
• Verified traveler (2/5): Ödeme yaparken problem - Hotels.com'da yaptığımiz rezervasyonda otelde ücretimizi ödeyeceğimizi belirttik. Ücret döviz cinsinden 53.20 dolar civarında tuttu. Otelde ödemeyi dolarla yapmak istedik. Kabul etmediler. Illa ki ruble olacak dediler.
• Katerina (10/5): - The two-room property and the hotel overall were clean, the staff was friendly, the breakfast tasty. There was a bus stop and a big supermarket in a few minutes walk. I'd like to stay in this hotel next time.
• STEPHANE (10/5): - The breakfast is very acceptable. All in the small one person room was convenient
• Svend (2/5): Terrible - I got refused. The reason being that I didn’t have a visa. I showed my entry stamp and the documentation that proved that I didn’t need a visa. The lady was very rude and told me to go to another hotel.
• Yuniel (10/5): - Todo muy bien
• Magnus (6/5): Helt okej - Helt okej för en natt eller 2.bra frukost
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Location is a bit remote from the center but it is the only decent hotel for this area of Minsk if you need to be close by here.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Недорогая гостиница - Замечательная гостиница за свои деньги. Иногда, в 3* бывает хуже, чем тут. Чистый номер, бесплатный интернет, достаточный завтрак. А что ещё нужно?
• Verified traveler (10/5): Good value for money - Comfortable room with the basics and friendly staff. At night a little bit cold, the heating did not seem to be working properly at the room. A little far away from the city center, but with the trolleys 3, 16 and 30 and for 0.65 BYN one arrives in 10 minutes near the bus station, Lenine Square and the Dynamo Stadium.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Great for short stay. - Overall the hotel is OK for short stay. If you just arrived in Minsk and need a place to sleep for the night with decent price, this hotel is great. Breakfast is not great, the buffet food selection the same everyday, and seemed not as many as the other branch "Sport Time" hotel has more selection (I stayed there too for few days). But the hotel is clean, staff is friendly, location a bit far from downtown, but you can go there with 1 bus ride.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Rummet var rent och bekvämt, frukosten var mindre bra. Bra läge, nära till anslutningsbussar till stadscentum.
• BORIS (10/5): Отлично - Отличная гостиница номер и расположение
• Verified traveler (8/5): Good food good service - The hotel front desk, housekeeping and restaurant staff are very nice and helpful. The food is really good too, I never had one bad meal there and I tried out almost half the menu.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 객실안에 냉장고가 없으니 밖에서 사온 음식은 바로바로 먹는게 최선입니다 객실이나 로비에 식수가 배치되어있지않으니 길건너편 гиппо에 가서 생수 사다놓으세요 헤어드라이어는 리셉션에 말하면 이용가능하나 개수가 많지않기에 미리 말하지않으면 사용하기 힘듭니다 리셉션의 모든 직원들이 영어로 소통이 가능하며 매우매우 친절합니다
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The breakfast was nice. The staff helped me find the bus to go to the city center.
• KEETAE (8/5): 잘 지내다 갑니다. - 편히 쉬다 갑니다. 식당을 함께 운영해서 먹는 것에 대한 불편함은 없었어요. 다만 방음이 잘 안되어 옆방의 소리가 잘 들렸고, 화장실에서 하수구 냄새가 많이 나서 불편했어요.
• NeilH188 (10/5): Great Value - East Time Hotel is a modern establishment situated 20 minutes from the centre of town by the Number 3 or 30 Trolley Bus. It is quiet, clean & comfortable. Breakfast is included with excellent coffee. The staff are efficient & speak good English. Great Value!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Perfect!!!!!!!!!! Perfect!!!!!!!!!! Perfect!!!!!!!!!! Perfect!!!!!!!!!!
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Sehr gute Verkehrsanbindung in die Innenstadt. Englisch sprechendes Personal.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Das Bett ist sehr unbequem. Badetücher sind alt und nicht weiß mehr. Die Dusche ist extrem kein also wann Mann bisschen kräftig ist, wir ja nicht mehr rein passen. Ich empfehle der Aufenthalt für nicht mehr als 1-3 Tage.
• Evgeniy (10/5): Дешёвый и отличный отель - Ист-тайм держит марку, останавливаюсь в нём уже не первый раз. Везде очень чисто. Приветливые администраторы. Достаточно просторный одноместный номер, в котором есть почти всё необходимое (нет чайника и холодильника). Достаточного размера ванная комната. Неплохие завтраки. В общем, буду продолжать останавливаться в этом отеле в следующие свои приезды в Минск!
• Robertas (8/5): Good modern hotel in an unattractive area - Decent hotel half an hour from the city centre by trolleybus. The rooms are fine and modern. Breakfast is good. The area, however, is completely without character. You get accommodation in the city centre for a similar price.
• Martti (6/5): - Suositeltava. intaansa nähden loistava.
• Marykar (10/5): Excellent and not at all expensive. - It was not easy to find a family room in Minsk during the European games. Prices grew up everywhere around the city. So, the East Time hotel was a great solution to my problems. The hotel is simple but new. The rooms are large, clean and comfortable. The hotel is very quiet. Breakfast is simple but correct and included into the price. I really enjoyed my 2 nights stay. Thanks a lot!
• Jakub (10/5): Jest okej - Bardzo czysty pokój i hotel, miła obsługa. Internet ok. Śniadanie słabe.
• asle (10/5): East time Hotel belarus - Great place,top service,nice people,fine stay
• Deniss (10/5): - Полностью соответствует ожиданиям. Честные 2 звезды. В Европе было бы 3 :)
• Антон (10/5): Комфортная гостиница - Очень комфортная гостиница за небольшие деньги: приветливый персонал, просторный номер, не было проблем с водой, все работало. Единственный момент в том, что ремонт не совсем свежий в связи с чем есть пятна на ковролине, косяки с целостностью плитки в ванной. Ещё шумоизоляция в номерах средняя. Как по мне, это твёрдые немецкие 3* или франко-испанские 3+/4. Считаю соотношение цена/качество 10 из 10. Бросил по цене 1800, но до 2500-2700 тоже нормально.
• shigehiko (10/5): Best ! - Now you can receive WiFi in your room comfortably. Convenient transportation location of the hotel. Helpful staff and clean rooms. Good breakfast and spacious rooms. All the contents of the hotel made me feel at ease. From the railway station to the hotel, the trolley bus stop is 30th floor opposite the station. The 36th is the station side. At the bus terminal building where the airport line bus departs, number 36 leaves from the building side.
• 20martinsv (10/5): Nice modern hotel - I am wondering why this hotel has only 2 stars - it much better than most of 3-stars hotels in the Europe. Nice clean and well equipped rooms, nice bathrooms, nice view, nice breakfast for modest price, polite staff
• Hernik (10/5): Nice stay in Minsk great hotel for budget traveler - in English. I like this hotel, great value for money. Friendly staff though they speak little English. The location of the hotel is good, you have a supermarket which has 9-23 opening hours every day also 50 meters from hotel you have "lukoil" gas station that is open 24/7, . I will definitely go back to this hotel. The only negative I can say is that their bar sometimes runs out of beer and does not replenish stocks. На русском языке. Мне нравится этот отель, отличное соотношение цены и качества. Дружелюбный персонал, хотя они мало говорят по-английски. Расположение отеля хорошее, у вас есть супермаркет, в котором есть часы работы 9-23 каждый день. Я обязательно вернусь в этот отель. Единственный минус, который я могу сказать, что в их баре иногда заканчивается пиво и не пополняют запасы.
• AIDARBEK (8/5): Отличный отель - Цена качество отличное сочетание ! Персонал осень приветливый . Завтраки хорошие.
• Liudmila (8/5): HOTELS.COM НЕ СООБЩАЕТ ОТЕЛЮ О БРОНИРОВАНИИ!!! - По факту приезда в гостиницу - оказалось что отель не в курсе моего бронирования на сайте HOTELS.COM !!! хотя меня и разместили в единственном оставшемся номере (номер оказался для инвалидов , но это не страшно , в итоге всё - ок). остался очень сильное отрицательное впечатление о бронировании! HOTELS.COM мне сообщает что отель подтвердил бронирование, а вот в отеле об этой брони не в курсе!!! грош цена такому "подтверждению о бронировании"!!! мне очень повезло , что в отеле нашлось мне место, спасибо что приютили.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Das zimmer war gut. Ausreichend Platz, gutes Bett und das Hotel liegt direkt an einer Bushaltestelle von wo aus man ins Zentrum kommt (ca. 15 Min.). 2 Angestellte waren freundlich, eine andere Rezeptionistin hingenen unverschaemt unfreundlich.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Clean and very central. The price is very interesting i recommend you this hotel.
• Dave (8/5): - Excellent for a budget stay as long as you expect no frills. Very nice bar and restaurant area. Very cold in rooms all over hotel as radiators not working but very hot towel rail which heated bathroom. Staff were all excellent and helpful throughout
• Verified traveler (10/5): East time - Standard accomodation and restaurant
• Verified traveler (6/5): Basic clean two-star hotel - Basic clean two-star hotel - breakfast was included, nothing fancy but better than no bfast
• Erik (8/5): Mye for pengene - Helt gret hotell til en svært bra pris, Veldig mye for pengene. Ikke det mest spennende området rundt hotellet men en kjapp tur med taxi så er man i sentrum.
• cs (8/5): - most staff friendly, but one staff person in particularly was strangely inflexible and wouldn't let me back into my room without a "voucher"? (there was no voucher given to me at check-in). Oh well. price was good, room was clean. It was a 10-15 minute walk to metro, or you could catch a nearby tram to the downtown. Overall good hotel.
• zinta (10/5): hotel East time,Minsk - istabas tiras,brokastis lieliskas,[brokastoju gan 7os,gan pusvienpadsmitos] vienmer bija liela edienu izvele,personals loti laipns. Satiksme ar pilsetas centru normala [autoosta,dzelzcela stacija -15 min.
• Laima (10/5): Viešbutis puikus. Rekomenduoju... - Puikus viešbutis.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Get what you pay for - Hotel was average overall - good price but located a little too far from the metro and any of the main sights. The breakfast wasn’t great; with no toast or fruit etc. Room was basic; tv didn’t work and the shower head was broken but not too much of an issue. Overall if you’re looking for somewhere cheap to stay for a night or two, it’s fine.
• Marina (10/5): - Впечатления от отеля хорошие, обслуживание вежливое, доброжелательное. В номере все устраивало, чисто, отличный вид из окна, недалеко от центра. Рядом заправка, супермаркет. Парковка огромная, всегда были свободные места (проживала 4 суток). Завтраки вполне устраивали. С интернетом проблем не было. На фото вид из номера.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Staff is very helpful
• Fabien (10/5): - Fantastic stay, coming from the airport / take the buses to the Main Central Station (where the 2 huge towers are). From there take a bus (#20 or #30) to the hotel, very easy to find, bus price is less than 1usd. Airport-Main Station less than 5usd. If difficulties to find bus #20 or 30 ask staff or anyone in the street, please are immensely friendly and will make days and nights to help you. I was sceptic at the beginning before arriving there but it is in fact ultra easy. Lots of buses, no wait. Awesome stay in Minsk. Front staff also very friendly and helpful.
• Giulio (8/5): Good hotel - Fair accommodation for a short stay.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Ekonomik ve güzel - İlgili, güleryüzlü personel. Ekonomik ve temiz bir otel. Şehrin merkezine cok uzak değil. Otelin önündeki yoldan troleybüs geçiyor. Vakzal'dan(tren istasyonu onunden 36 numarali troleybusle) kolayca otele ulasabilirsiniz. Ulaşım ucuz. Biletinizi troleybüs'un icinden de alabilirsiniz.
• andrey (10/5): так держать - очень хороший отель для проживания ,чистота ,хорошая постель,отличный завтрак ,отзывчивый персонал,цена тоже радует
• Павел (8/5): - хороший бюджетный отель
• Olga (10/5): We loved it - Pros: Great breakfast, lots of choices for every taste; super clean sheets. Friendly service. Cons: Wi-Fi only in reception area.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Good deal in the city - 1. Take bus no.30/36 to the hotel from Minsk Railroad Terminal (where you get off from the airport bus), it goes straight to the hotel, DON'T ever try to take the subway then change another bus 2. A bit far from the city center (15mins bus ride) 3. It's a good deal tho, and with such price, breakfast is included 4. There is a huge supermarket with only 2mins walk 5. Wifi is only available in the lobby and it says in-room wired internet is available but I didn't try 6. Toilet is a bit old but shower is hot enough 7. Most staff in the concierge are able to communicate in english
• Adam (10/5): Good hotel - Great value for money. Very helpful staff. City is a short bus or cab ride away. Wifi in reception area only.
• Jozef (8/5): - Room Is easy but all everything is good.
• Verified traveler (2/5): Noisy disco on the 1st floor. Drunks at 3 AM. - I had been trying to sleep all 2 days I got in this hotel. 1st day the noisy disco and lots of shouting kids in the lobbies. The 2nd day drank people smoked and shouted at the entrance at 3 AM. Then stopped when I called to the reception. Then started again till 5 AM.
• Benc89 (8/5): Very Affordable, English Speaking Staff, Basic - East Time Hotel is approx 40mins taxi ride from Minsk International Airport (M2). Taxi Cost 105BYR) Easy to check in, English Speaking Staff. The hotel has a Bar/Cafe open until 11pm. It is a big hotel, but pretty basic. However it was perfectly clean and suitable for our business trip - and cost only £18 per night. Wifi only works on reception and cafe/bar, however you can get wired internet in room (the reception will lend you a cable if you ask). Plenty of free parking for cars. The hotel is not in the centre of Minsk. I did not venture outside so cannot comment on the surroundings. I would suggest it's great for business and the budget traveller. If you want things to do in the evening however you may want something closer to the centre.
• onurakgun (6/5): Staff - Staff is very friendly. They can help you for anything. The hotel is clean. Location is good. Rates are sometimes very reasonable to stay. It is a good choice to stay. You can use public transport to reach anywhere.
• 35anniinah (8/5): Good value - I stayed in this hotel for 2 weeks during my stay in Minsk. The location is a bit outside of the city center but you can easily access the hotel with the trolleybusses 30 and 36, running every 10 minutes. The room was big and clean, I got new bed sheets and towels a few times a week. The breakfast was available from 7am until 11 am, which I found good. I think you get really good value for your money in this hotel, it is one of the cheapest options in Minsk but you get everything you need.
• josephh424 (6/5): Basic and a good 45 minute walk to the train station - Visited here for two nights in October on a solo trip to Belarus. I was after somewhere cheap and that is what I got. The benefits were that the room was clean, there was free wifi in reception and breakfast was included in the price. On the down side there was a lengthy walk to the hotel from the train station. I enjoyed the wall, but there were no views as it was an industrial area. The service was okay, but nothing special and there was nothing to do here. The hotel is basic and there is nothing to do in the area. As a tip you can exchange currency at the shopping centre next door (where you can also get cheap food and drink)
• jfogarty (8/5): Good value - This is a 2 star hotel located about 45mins walk from the centre. It seems to cater for coaches of tourists but strangely seems quiet most of the time. The staff do not speak English well but this was not a problem as they were still very helpful. At the end of the day I was not having dinner with them so as long as they could answer my questions (which they did) I was happy! I hired a bicycle from a place about half an hour away. The shop was situated within a market (the hotel staff gave me a printed map). It cost 120,000 roubles a day. I took a bike (a decent Giant mountain bike) for three days. The girl working in the place did not have any English and I was trying to ask how much is the security deposit. She thought I was asking for a discount and gave it to me for 320,000 for 3 days (I didn't have to pay a deposit). This made it easier to get in and out of the centre and get around. Minsk is a city which is spread out and it is not easy to walk from sight to sight. Not a lot of people speak English so if Russian is not your first language I would recommend hiring a bike (it is safe as you cycle on the pavement/sidewalk, it is actually illegal to cycle on the road in the centre. There is also a cycle route through the parks). The hotel is basic but clean and wifi was free in reception. I had a room above reception and got it in my room too so it might be worth asking for a room above reception. Breakfast had delicious porridge and pancakes. I had it included in the room but would not have paid extra for it. I did not eat in the hotel's restaurant as there are restaurants nearby (there is one if you go right on Partyzanski a few hundred yards down with English menus, I can't remember the name but it had London Pizza signs up). The hotel is located across the road from a supermarket complex with restaurants inside if all else fails. Even though it is across the road from a bus station the area seems very safe (as does the whole city). I cannot fault East Time for the price as hotels are expensive in Minsk. The only issue was the location. That said, it was interesting to be staying out in the suburbs where local people lived. By the way, I left an English guidebook at reception so they would have something to show other guests as they had no real information or maps (I got a map from one of expensive hotels in the centre). You have to remember it is a 2 star hotel in Belarus (when I arrived they gave me a list of rules to read and checked my room before I could leave)
• worldtraveler2392123 (8/5): Nice hotel - Nice hotel. Friendly staff. Very different culture so don't expect the same qualities. For example, no tourist map is available while some other hotels in town have it. Seems to cater mostly to business people. The rooms are nice.
• alexbO2083VY (8/5): Very good modern hotel - If you're not a Russian speaker, Minsk is not the easiest of cities to get the hang of, but the East Time Hotel certainly does its best to help the novice get around. The hotel is located a few kilometres south of the centre, and the there is a very regular, cheap trolley bus straight to the central railway station. The hotel has been recently refurbished, and the room felt really modern, and was very clean with a good bathroom. I paid extra for breakfast (with really good Italian coffee) and ate a couple of evening meals in the restaurant. It wasn't exactly cheap by the standards of everything else in Belarus but I found the food to be more than adequate. The only weird thing was that I was the only person eating in the restaurant, though I think that this is not an uncommon thing in Belarus, generally speaking. There was wifi in the hotel, though at the time of writing it was available only in the bar. All-in-all, a good place to stay.
