Good hotel at the center

Stayed for several days in the hotel. The building is not new but the location, staff, and the service made my stay very pleasant. As described in another review, it’s not the Hilton but it gives you all the basics of an enjoyable stay. Highly recommended to travelers who want to be economical about their travel plans.

It reminded me of a dorm room from university, but it was clean and did the job. Air conditioner would only stay in for 20 minutes st one time, but had large window to open. Close to supermarket and restaurants and downhill to walk to the train station

Good location but everything else sucks.

THe hotel is in a good spot near the train station but everything else is mediocre at best. They charge to hold your bags and the bed is small and hard. Room needs remodeling. Anyway, it's ok if you just want to come to Kiev for a few days on a budget.

Terrible hotel, old and dirty.

The bed in my room was very small and uncomfortable. Every morning I had a back ache. The room was freezing and the heat barely works. When I asked to switch to a bigger bed, the reception asked asked for a very high additional payment.
