Mini-Hotel La Menska

Cheap.

The staff weren’t helpful. We have stayed in 3 hotels since in different areas in Belarus and all of the rest have registered us and made our stay easy. The lady at reception gave no help, just a website to visit. It’s also in the middle of nowhere.

Nothing really I liked about the hotel. Maybe just the proximity to the motorway. But at the same time this motorway kept we awake during the night. Parking is free but limited and very muddy, why not too throw more loose chippings or better to cover with concrete surface.

Breakfast is really bad, not only it's a small portion single meal but also prepared with cheap and not healthy ingredients. Restaurant located in the basement, it feels dark & filthy in there. I was charged circa 10% extra to the booking.com rate as explained by hotel it's due to currency difference. Room prices are set in USD, whilst normally you expected to pay in local currency. This reminds me of the era right after Soviet Union collapsed. When everything in CIS countries was traded and sold in USD. Not much has changed in Belarus since that time, it's still stuck in post Soviet times. Soap is limited to 2 portions per person. I would be keen to learn, how are you suppose to shower and wash you hands throughout the day with that amount? Window's sound insulation on the top floor is terrible, can hear motorway all night long.
