"Intourist"

The first test of strength was Brest "Intourist". Located in the city, is a western "gateway" of the country, this hotel regularly receives visitors from abroad and partly forms the first glimpse of foreigners Belarus.






Hotel "Intourist" was built in 1975 and located in the downtown area. On the hotel's website says: "In the hospitality business," Brest-Intourist "has a strong business reputation, reputation in the industry, specializing in servicing tourists and foreign nationals." The hotel claims three stars of Belarusian classification of hotels. As we were told at the reception, the star has not officially received, but they already show off next to the hotel lobby and sealed on folders for documents in the reception room. Now is the time to check whether the hotel is ready to receive such a high score.





Suite for two at the hotel "Intourist", including the cost of breakfast, cost about 881 thousand. Rubles. Rooms at the hotel have recently been newly renovated, so we are quite reasonably hoped for a comfortable stay. Expectations were met only partially. Check in at the hotel went without queues and delays. At the reception we were told that breakfast delivered to the room does not work, it is necessary for him to go down to the restaurant. Looking ahead, we note that in this case we have forgotten to give food stamps - for them had to return the next day.



Another unpleasant thing is that in our hotel at the time of settlement (and it was already quite late) Wi-Fi was only in the lobby on the first floor. To get it in the room, pay card required "Beltelecom" that have not been sold at the hotel and a nearby post office, where you can buy them, it had already been closed.
Apparently, the renovation of the hotel is not completely finished. If the lobby looks fresh and tidy, the view of the corridor on our floor almost left no doubt about that so visitors could watch it in the pre-perestroika times.











In fairness, we note that on other floors where the corridors have already upgraded, the situation is changing for the better.



No electronic locks - door opens common key. The first impression a double room left. It does not look shabby, all the basic amenities provided. Among the shortcomings noted at once modest size rooms and controversial interior design of the guest room, where the columns occupy much of its center.





















But we opened the windows a wonderful view of the downtown nightlife.





The room has no mini-bar, but visitors can take advantage of a set of dishes for six people. The television broadcast more than 20 channels, although the picture quality is poor. Refrigerator washed clean and in working order.















In the closet are extra pillow, a blanket and a blanket - it was obvious that they recently changed and cleaned. The rooms are not completely installed fire alarm, no air conditioning. The room is equipped with two telephones, one of which is in the bedroom, the other in the living room.











Apparently, the hotel is fairly serious problems with the cleaning of rooms. The bedroom was enough to hold your hand under the bed, in the closet, on the doorpost, and even on the back of the bed, to realize that there is a thick layer of dust.









The same pattern is observed in the living room: on a closet - a real dust collector.



There are comments and bedclothes. On the bedspread to the naked eye much grease spot.













Bed linen clean and fresh, but it cost us to remove pillowcases and duvet cover, and we found another spot. This pleased us a good mattress













Now carefully examine bathroom. First impressions: spacious, clean and comfortable. There is a dressing gown, on a shelf near the sink are soap, shampoo, shower gel in disposable packaging. In the shower all work modes.











The room has a boiler, which means when there are shortages of hot water in general water supply system, hotel guests will be able to provide comfortable living conditions.



You can certainly find fault and point out that, by installing a shower, builders missed a couple of times, and drilled holes in the tile would cost zashpatlevat, but it is rather minor flaws.



But the quality of cleaning and disappoint here: our inquisitive gaze directed at the shower, picked up her foreign body - as it turned out, it was a half-empty bottle of brandy left by someone from previous guests.





Now is the time to order dinner. Call the restaurant, we were asked to bring in a number of pork steak with a side dish of boiled potatoes, salad "Caesar", two American coffee and "Borjomi". The waiter assured us that the food will bring in 20 minutes, and do not lie - it brought even earlier. Check cost of 204 ths. Rubles.



The coffee was quite tolerable, chop - "fair." Meat was a lot, but, in our opinion, did not try to cook. It was a bit dry and had too much breading. But salad - podvyavshih of vegetables, and "Caesar" it can hardly be nazavat.













Closer to the night was held has become a traditional test with headache tablets. We were asked to go down to the reception, which was given two tablets spazmalgona. The night passed quietly, without any "unwanted" calls.



Waking up in the morning, we headed to the restaurant for breakfast. By the way, breakfast at the hotel costs 70 thousand. Rubles. As mentioned above, on arrival we were not given vouchers for which it was necessary to go down to the lobby. European Breakfast "Intourist" includes a few dishes to choose from, cold meats, cheese, muffins, yogurt, tea, coffee on request. The quality of prepared food is decent, cutting and baking fresh.













Summarizing, we can say that the hotel "Intourist" in Brest - this is not the worst option for travelers. One of the advantages of the hotel can be called a great location, adequate room furnishings, good food quality and efficiency of its delivery. Disadvantages are obvious: the absence of trouble-free access to the Internet in the rooms and sloppy staff. Rags dust remaining on his finger after they spend on the headboard, and half-empty bottles left by previous guests, the not consistent with the policy of the hotel, claiming to three stars. Above this is serious work.
