Hotel Kyiv

It wasn’t clean I found two large hairs in the bed , the comforters were super old , the people at the front desk and waiters were very nice , I had to upgrade my room since the carpet were filthy

The Hotel Kyiv is like a step back to the USSR. The hotel lobby is dated and looks like a jumble of shops and old fashioned money changer. Outside the hotel there are a strange collection of soviet style security men and roped off areas. The building is old and rooms small. The room has very old creaky furniture and unusable TV. I must comment the bathroom was clean and modern but very cheap soaps and shower curtain. The breakfast room was fancy but not elegant. There was a good variety of choices but like many Ukrainian restaurants plenty of waiters but not a clue what they do as the scuffle around since it is self serve. There are many hotels In Kyiv that are modern and updated this one is stuck in the last century. The location is walking distance to downtown and situated across the street from a beautiful park but not much shopping close by.

The windows were dirty, the joints had two layers of scotch, through which the wind was howling. No bottle opener and hair dryer in the room. The business center was in fact just a computer. Writings in Russian or Ukrainian, no paper in printer. Printing the boarding pass was payable. No signal on TV from Friday evening to Monday morning. The bed was comfortable, the room had a low table, a desk, the furniture was fine. Breakfast buffet was nice. I would rate this hotel as a 3 star with a price not exceeding 1100 UAH or less than 40 $, compared with the previous 4 star hotel I stayed this year with your site.

Good hotel but old

The Kyiv Hotel is a Soviet-era hotel, where most rooms seem not to have been renovated in several decades. It is located in the "government quarter," across the street from parliament and the Mariinsky Park, so it is very safe and quiet in the evenings. Every room has a balcony with spectacular views, and contains a refrigerator and individual heating/cooling unit. The bathrooms look old, but they have deep-soak bathtubs and plentiful hot water. The standard rooms are preferable to the economy twins, which bear the marks have having once been smoking rooms and where the wi-fi is spottier. There is an extensive breakfast buffet, and the lobby contains shops catering to the nouveau riche. There are not quite as many cafes and restaurants as you would find down the hill, but there is a 24-hour market a couple of blocks away, and the hotel is equidistant between two metro stations (one of them, Arsenalna, beeing the deepest in the world). Recommended for a central location at an affordable price.
