Các đánh giá The Basilian Minsk, Curio Collection by Hilton

What a pity. This could have been 5 stars but there is one glaring, huge problem. This hotel has a contract with a taxi firm that charges a whopping 160 ruble hourly flat rate. Therefore a pick up from the airport will cost 160 rubles for a 40 minute drive, as will a 5-10 minute taxi ride to the railway station. For comparison the Hampton in Minsk costs 80 rubles to/from the airport and even that's on the expensive side. This essentially means that if you are elderly, have a problem walking, heavily pregnant or have a few children to watch over, then a short taxi ride to the city centre is going to be very expensive. Sure, if you can speak Russian then you can arrange your own taxi to pick up from the street adjacent, or if indeed you are confident using the metro or bus (both not too far away) then this is not too much of a problem. But for me it was. I had a 7am train next day, the station a 40 minute walk away. I needed to be certain that a taxi would be there ready and waiting, but no way was I paying 160 rubles! Next day I had a very pleasant 5am walk which was lovely in summer but probably a very different walk (skate!) in winter. I just wanted a taxi, not a 40 minute walk carrying 15kg on my back! Lovely room, a very helpful pleasant and professional receptionist, in a very clean hotel located in a safe area. Well done the employees who are being let down by a ridiculous taxi policy.
