In July 2016, we stayed at the "Golden Ear" in the 5th building. We booked a room via the Internet, without prepayment and advance payment, but at a discount (without a reservation, you would have to pay more).
In whatever travel agencies in Russia or Ukraine tourists order trips to Belarus, and inside this country, the tour operator "Viapol" is mainly involved in organizing excursions for those who arrived by train or plane.
The hotel was chosen because of its convenient location in the Ostankino district near the metro station and because of the cheapness of the room (1800 rubles per person with breakfast).
