Belarus


Right in the centre of the Old Town, Vitsebsk's best hostel features a well-equipped kitchen and dorms ranging from two to 12 beds. The only fuss is that there are too few bathrooms for the 56 beds. The name is a play on the Russian word for hostel, 'хостел' (khostel). Enter on vul Krylova.
