The hostel of the International Relations Center (Belarus Ministry of Education) is a four-floor building that belongs to the Ministry of Education and it is the best option for a budget traveler in Minsk. All its rooms are well-appointed (beds, bathtubs or shower cabins, TV sets and refrigerators in every room) and come at a very good price, those without overhaul cost less. Bathrooms are appointed with shower cabins and in more expensive options – bathtubs.
