This hotel is upmarket by Eastern European standards. I had a 'business single' on the 10th floor and it was nicely furnished. The hotel is easy to find, being outside the Pushkinska Metro station. The road junction outside is quite noisy - light sleepers would do well to ask for a room at the back of the hotel. Breakfast was fine, with a selection of hot and cold items. It offered good value for money, and I would certainly stay there again. Minsk itself was much better than I was expecting - very clean and with plenty of greenery. Transport is very cheap, as are food and drink.

I was visiting Minsk for business and had to take a cab one night. The dang thing broke right in front of this hotel (ORBITA) and I assumed it would be OK to walk in and ask them to call a cab for me. Well, my assumption was wrong and they nearly escorted me out the door.

I think this hotel is just not ready for a foreign traveller.

we stayed for three days in febuary .the staff were friendly and helpful .the rooms although a bit tired were ok.the breakfast is in the nightclub and is perfectly ok.the metro station is straight outside the hotel and gets you to the centre in minuites.try the supermarket bar/cafe nextdoor for some local colour.if you are looking for a charecterles chain type hotel this is not for you but we enjoyed our stay

I would not recommend to stay in Hotel Orbita.... unless allmost all Hotels in Minsk are somehow below average the not existing aircondition made our stay really not worth the money spend (around 28 Degree Celcius in the room for 90 USD) ....
