Hotel Gubernsky

Minsk


The decor at this 11-room hotel may be disappointingly beige, brown and grey, but rooms are enormous and are kitted out with lounge chairs, extra large desks and fluffy bathrobes, among many other amenities.

It's on a quiet side street in the centre. Breakfast costs BYN22 extra per person.
