The hostel has enough staff, and I would recommend that volunteers discuss their duties in advance and perhaps show some initiative and creativity. Otherwise, as it was in my case, your presence might not really be needed. The accommodation is great, but meals are almost not provided, and there isn't really a kitchen. Overall, everyone is friendly and I would recommend the hostel for volunteers, but I would advise thinking in advance about what to do there.

Well, It was my first such experience and I should say that I am quite happy for choosing Urban hostel! The staff, in general, was friendly and welcoming. Even though the working hours weren't that low, the work itself wasnt hard at all. And I am sure you will also develop new skills specially working at cafe just as me :) In addition, I recommend learning basic Russian as it will help you a lot.
At the end, I definitely recommend this place for you!

Wow, this place is absolutely great. I signed up at Urban hostel for one month as a volunteer while exploring Belarus. I was working in the Coffee shop during the morning and helped the housekeeping staff later doing housekeeping and other things. May is a perfect month to visit Minsk and Belarus. The weather was great and you always have something to do when you’re free from work.
I would recommend you to speak and communicate in basic Russian, but English is not a problem either here. I won’t forget Urban :)

It was my second time volunteering at Urban Hostel. This year I was in a different role, mainly helping the maids to make the beds, and sometimes helping on the coffee shop. The staff at the hostel is nice and respectful and the hostel facilities are pretty good.
Minsk in the autumn is a beautiful city with the trees in shades of yellow and red. Besides the cold and rainy weather, it was amazing.

I truly enjoyed my stay at Urban hostel. This place is just amazing. It is located in the center of Minsk and it is one of the best hostels I have been to. There is much space, great chill areas, a coffee shop....
The people are amazing and you get to know a lot of them here:)
Trust me I will never be boring here. The work depends on how full the hostel is. There are people who speak English of course but I would recommend learning some Russian:)
