Do not recommend this hostel. I called in advance to book a place, and in response I received a rude refusal, because, she say, she does not understand Belarusian. Very ugly.
I have been living for several months, a pleasant hostel with a good organization. Cleanliness is on the level, there is everything for a comfortable stay: kitchen, Wi-Fi, washing machine, microwave, stove, slow cooker
we ordered a room at 11 a.m., called and said we would arrive at 12 a.m., to which an indifferent "yes, okay, payment upon check-in" sounded in response. We arrived at 23:30, there is no administrator, the calls are being reset. there is nowhere to move in, in Minsk they ended up essentially on the street. the hostel smells disgusting, anyone can enter and lie down, all doors are open, nothing is guarded. the only advantage is that you didn't make an advance payment, so you would have been left without money.
Cleanliness is maintained, calm, the staff will answer all questions and prompt you, 5 minutes walk from the metro, shops and pharmacies. I don't see any disadvantages for myself personally, it's a decent hostel.
in general, you can get used to it. the bed is clean, the dishes are there, they give a towel and shared slippers upon check-in. I didn't like that there was one shower room and one toilet for 25 people. rooms for 10 people.
the administrator Natalia is very pleasant, she will tell you everything and help if any problem arises. pleasant guests often come.
there are also unpleasant guests who have been living for a long time and think that everything is allowed to them. we sleep with the windows open, I advise you to buy a sleep mask and earplugs, then it will be much better to give up.
There don't seem to be any cockroaches or bedbugs. in general, you can get used to it
shops are 5 minutes from the hostel, the metro is a 10-minute walk away. self
We booked two places by phone, arrived, there was no one at the reception, the call was dropped, as a result, there was nowhere to spend the night. There is an unpleasant smell in the hostel and, provided that the reception is empty, anyone can come in and lie down in the room. I am very glad that the prepayment was not made, otherwise, we would have been left without money and an overnight stay.
Don't look at the photos. In fact, it's much worse. The toilet has two cabins (in fact, one). There is one induction cooker in the kitchen (you can not fry, only cook). The microwave oven is old and rusty. The walls are cardboard (if the sleep is light, you will not get enough sleep). Unfortunately, there are no photos left:(Pastel accessories do not fit the dimensions of the bed and pillowcases (the mattress is much shorter than the bed itself).
I came to check in. I waited for the administrator for half an hour, he never showed up. I called the reception number, the call was dropped, and they never called back. I booked the place a week in advance.
I do not recommend this hostel to anyone
A cool hostel . I have been staying for three years now and have never regretted it. Pleasant staff , clean , calm . I am very pleased with the hostel's attitude to alcohol and people in a drunken state (Drunk customers are not settled). I live at the moment and I think that this is one of the best hostels in Minsk. Convenient location, 5 minutes from the metro and, in principle, you can easily get anywhere in Minsk by any transport. I highly recommend this hostel to visit
In general, the norms. Walking distance to the metro, the center, leisure ....
Remote administration has its advantages. The inability to cook is a common norm for Minsk hostels, although in this case the kitchen is a separate room with a door and it is enough to provide it with a hood. There is only expensive fast food around. I want to cook something for myself and this is not enough.
A good hostel . I stayed in a shared room for a week. I was very worried that I would run away in a day , because some reviews are not impressive , but it turns out I was worried in vain . I don't know the reason for the bad reviews, maybe there was another management or other administrators at that time, but I really liked everything. A pleasant receptionist , explained everything and showed everything . I lived for a week. Wet cleaning of the rooms was carried out almost every day, everywhere is quite clean. The atmosphere is calm, I like the hostel's attitude to alcohol, it turns out that they are very strict with this (you can not drink).I was very pleased that the hostel is located near the metro . In general, I am very happy with the hostel, I will definitely advise my friends and I will definitely come back myself.
The receptionist is a polite, pleasant woman. I struggled with the toilet, but I was able to identify tactics on how to get into it without kissing my sides with the walls. Make a separate room for the women, some of the men stank, so go to Riga.
The toilet is clean, the kitchen has everything you need for basic necessities.
The shower is not bad in principle. Alas, I will not stop by a second time.
You leave a request on the website - there is no answer. The second day you call, they don't pick up the phone. You write to a messenger, they go online and don't read it
Unreasonably expensive, but in general it will do. For the same price, there are places much more worthy.

I haven't seen three-tiered beds anywhere yet, they make a lot of noise in the hallway and no one makes any comments. (Of course, after 22).
Of the advantages there is sugar, coffee and tea
A good not expensive hostel. 17p per night is a very low price, and if you stay for a long time, then 10p per night.
Of the minuses: it stinks a little with dirty socks and is located almost on the outskirts of Minsk
The hostel is at reasonable prices. But you need to understand that you will only get a place to spend the night, no more. The queue for the shower, you can't turn around in the toilet. The kitchen was not used.
If you get into a common room, do not choose a 3-storey bed. It is convenient to sleep there only on the middle shelf. It's blowing at the bottom, there's no real place at the top and it's inconvenient to climb in.
A normal hostel .15 rubles per day is not expensive compared to others. You can drink coffee and tea for free . There are mugs, spoons, forks, etc. You don't have to worry too much. They give out slippers to walk around the hostel . I'm on fire at all . Admins two girls are normal, they can solve all questions about the hostel. In short , I advise you . 🤪
A large banner with prices for accommodation hangs at the entrance, but everyone is charged as much as they see fit. The rooms are rarely cleaned, there is no atmosphere. There's a sponge sticking out of the shower behind the faucet, apparently one of the unscrupulous tenants left it, I lived for a week and no one cleaned it with me. The hostel has a kitchen, but you can't fry anything, just cook. Two guys were evicted in front of me for talking at 23:00 in the kitchen. The next day, the hostel staff themselves laughed at the whole hostel at one o'clock in the morning. Something like that.
It is located in a high-rise building on the ground floor
The toilet is surprisingly small... Also the "refueling" level. There are two doors in one room. They are greeted from the threshold with the fact that "it is impossible". The room as a whole is kind of dark
We make a discount on the fact that this is still a hostel. But I know what could be better
We booked a double room 5 days before check-in. They came on the day of check-in, the receptionist came running and with a dissatisfied and unperturbed look said that there were no reservations at all this week. And that her colleague was at work that day, that people had already been settled and offered places in shared rooms. Such a "generous favor" was refused and checked into It - time.
At the entrance to the hostel, the administrator meets with a dissatisfied face and immediately wants to leave. There is no customer orientation. I gave out wet bed linen, dirt in the kitchen, greasy appliances, mold in the dish dryer. We will no longer choose this hostel.
A cozy, quite comfortable and very clean hostel. An excellent budget option for tourist and business trips. The responsive and sociable administrator Irina will help make your stay at the hostel even more comfortable.
Thanks!
I liked almost everything: the double room, the work of the staff, and the convenience in everything. I would like to improve the ventilation of the hallway
The sound insulation in the room for two is excellent, there is a TV, there is a balcony, there is a bedside table. The other room has a shower and a washing machine. Hanging out with a friend or girlfriend, especially with food, would be a good idea.
Good service, cleanliness, friendly receptionists, quiet and cozy

We couldn 't even stop by the hostel 👍
On January 2, we booked a room for 2 people, discussed the time of arrival. The receptionist calls on January 5 in the morning and says that people cannot leave that room. In that case, they could have offered another room, but she only rudely replied that I hadn't even paid for anything yet and hadn't filled out the contract. I said that they have a very good hostel and service. They answered me in a rude way and hung up on me.
I do not recommend a hostel, you may also be thrown and not given another room or at least a place in a shared room.
We agreed within a week, they told us, OK, there are no problems with recording, come, we will accept, we have arrived..they pretended that we did not call and did not agree with us on a certain date, and the administrator sat with such a face, as if we owed her something

We rented a room with one large bed. On the website on weekdays 40p, in fact Tue-wed 50p. The room matches the description and photos from the website. The bed was moved apart at the headboard, pushed back (two beds are fixed at the foot, the headboard is separated). There are two normal mattresses with mattress pads on the bed. Sheets without elastic band. The pillows are narrow and soft. There are two blankets. The bed is partially made (sheets and pillowcases), duvet covers are in the chest of drawers. The base of the beds is a dense and slippery sheet. The beds don't creak, the mattresses slip, the sheets get knocked off. Wi-Fi is weak in the evening. The shared toilet is terribly cramped and the water heater is leaking into the men's stall. But the toilet is clean enough, there is paper, liquid soap (one for two sinks), a freshener. Why do you need two mini sinks if you can't turn around alone in the "waiting room"?! Two toilet bowls with lockable doors, m and f. You can buy hygiene products. The shower is dirty. There's water on the floor. The sink and mirror are very dirty. In the showers, the rain shower is in a raid, the jets are not even. There is a hygienic shower in one of the showers. There are no hooks and you can't hang a towel and clothes inside, just throw them on a curtain or take them off near the sink. Both showers are covered with curtains. There may not be enough hot water! There are two washes in the same room, one with drying. There is a shared hair dryer. The kitchen is almost like in the photo. There is a sink with the remains of oatmeal, two refrigerators, bags of food from the guests on the windowsill. Free black tea bags and coffee bags are on the wall. Free in cans: ground coffee, sugar, tea. There are free cookies on the table with bar stools. Sweets (small icicles) at the reception. There are drying rooms with guests' clothes in the corridor. In the hallway there are a lot of shoes and closed storage rooms, not a single one is free. The drawers are smaller, also for storage, there are also in the common corridor, everything is also occupied. There is a dim light in the hallway. There is a shared TV and set-top box next to the administration.
The audibility is quite strong. But it's quiet after 11 and before 7. The guests are young and polite. The administrator is often absent.
The metro is a 10-minute walk away.
Hostel 128 is a place with its own soul and atmosphere. A place where anyone and everyone can feel at home. Personally, I've never been to places like this
But having been here once, I returned here for the second time! Why is he so good, you ask? And I will answer everyone! It has a warm atmosphere, calm, cozy, clean, friendly staff, comfortable, convenient location and the list can go on endlessly.
Guys, choose this place and you will be delighted!

The best hostal of all that I have seen, cozy, beautiful, very good administrators and the director of the hostel, but most importantly tea, coffee, sugar, cookies, sweets for FREE, super cozy and very clean, I will stay more. I definitely recommend it!!!
The hostel has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Excellent location 5 minutes walk from the metro. Plus, it's hard to starve to death, because conscientious administrators offer you a bunch of all sorts of goodies.
I recommend it!
In a new house with a separate entrance from the rest of the residents of the house. Fresh renovation, it's nice there, they keep order and regime. You can choose a place from the available ones, very fast wi-fi, coffee, cookies and a friendly atmosphere! The first experience of staying in a hostel, and it is pleasant.
Dirty, rude, in general, it will do for such money, but it could be cheaper.

Close to the metro, cheap, clean.
Minuses
The beds are in 3 tiers, the lower one is at floor level, and the upper one is 2 meters above it - it is not very comfortable if such places come across.
A very small and uncomfortable toilet.
A terrible dirty hostel with 3 floors
Plus there is no separation of male female room all in one
There are 2 toilets and 2 showers for 15 people
I don't recommend it
