Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to IT Time, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (above 5th floor) to minimize potential street noise from the adjacent streets, such as Prospekt Niezalezhności and Pobeditelei Avenue. Avoid rooms near the lift, as the hotel has a traditional lift system which might be a bit slow.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms near the service entrance (likely located on lower floors, possibly 1st to 3rd floor) may experience more noise from staff and deliveries.
Best views
East-facing rooms (facing Prospekt Niezalezhności) for a view of the city, but note that the hotel's address is on a side street, so the views might be partially obstructed.
Quietest floors
5th floor and above
🔊 Noise notes
Potential street noise from Prospekt Niezalezhności and Pobeditelei Avenue, as well as the sound of the traditional lift.
Insider tips
1. Request a room with a window on the side of the building to get some natural light and a view of the city. 2. If you have a lot of luggage, consider using the lift, as the stairs might be a bit narrow and steep.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top Attractions in Minsk
💡 The ferris wheel costs about 5 BYN (€1.50) and gives a decent view of the centre—do it at sunset. Avoid the overpriced pedal boats on the lake.
💡 Go inside the church in late afternoon for good light through the stained glass; the square itself is mostly open space, so pair with a walk up Nezavisimosti Avenue.
💡 Best in early morning for photos without crowds; skip the overpriced souvenir stalls and buy a cheap pastry at the nearby Kuchmistr café instead.
💡 Take bus 29 or 37 from the city centre to the park entrance; bring a picnic as café options are limited, and the paths are flat for an easy cycle.
💡 Free entry on the first Monday of each month but it gets busy; go at 10:00 opening to avoid queues. The rooftop observation deck costs extra (about 3 BYN) but offers great city views.
