Hostel Review: Revolucion Hostel, Minsk – Belarus

September 15, 2017 By James Clark

Hostel Review: Revolucion Hostel, Minsk - Belarus

Hotel Name: Revolucion Hostel
Address: Revolyutsionnaya Street, 16, Tsentralny District, Minsk, Belarus

I stayed at Revolucion Hostel in Minsk. I booked it for its location in central Minsk, and I also wanted to stay in a hostel on this trip. I booked a single room with shared bathroom, which worked out at $24.20 USD per night.

I didn’t know what area is the best place to stay in Minsk. I just looked on the map and saw the two main metro lines intersect in the middle, so I figured anything around there must be ok. It turned out to be an inspired choice as this hostel was ideally located. I got the bus from the airport, and it stopped at the main square before going to the train station bus stop. From there it was about a 10 minute walk.

Revolucion Hostel

The reception is downstairs, and then you go up this evolutionary staircase. The hostel is also decorated with revolutionary communist posters.

I got a private room, which was a small and simple room with a single bed. The bed was comfortable enough, though the sheets were too small and came off the bed quite easily.

Private Room

There is a kitchen for self caterers.

Kitchen

A common area where you can meet up with fellow travellers.

Common area

The mens showers were clean enough, but the plastic curtains always make a shower feel a little more clammy. There weren’t enough toilets either considering how many dorms there were.

Showers

There is free wifi at the hostel and there was no problem with the connection while I was there. There are a number of bars in the area, and I found a great kebab shop around the corner. Near there is also an excellent cafe serving fresh croissants in the morning.

Revolyutsionnaya Street

Overall this a decent enough hostel to stay at in Minsk. Book the Revolucion Hostel online or search for more hotels in Minsk.
