Great place
It was (is) great. They were very helpful during the russian missile strikes by providing a shelter close by. The staff speak some english but will always use a translation app to communicate. The hotels restaurant is very upscale but very affordable. You can get a wonderful meal for less than 10 dollars(canadian)

Nice place! Can't complain
Good stay overall. The rooms were a little small and so were the beds, but its totally do-able. Bathroom/shower was clean, room was clean, convenient parking and the next door restaurant was super fancy and tasty! Highly recommend it. Also its awesome that there was a park with a trial right next to the hotel.

Great Value
I stayed in standard single with private bath. The room and hotel in general were very clean. There was no hair dryer, but there was a tea kettle, mug and tea. WiFi was excellent. My only complaints are that there was no lamp on my bed table and the electrical outlet for my computer was not in a convenient place. I would stay here again.

Horribly prepped food, per picture...it was supposed to be a “Greek Salad”. Thin walls, you can hear people snoring. Strangers at the entrance, whistling at women. It took at least 25 minutes to check out, which was done with a security guard. No phone in the room, no elevator. Food and drink prices keep changing, depending on who you ask or the menu you’re looking at.

Booking this room was a great choice. I had the cutest single room that reminded me of the Zepher car that I slept in on the train. There was a restaurant on the 2nd floor open 7-2300/room service. Great food, local shopping nearby, and a really nice park next to the hotel where I took my WOK take-out, my EReader, blanket and relaxed under the trees. Clean, comfortable and nice people

Located in a hard core residential area, this is for the person who has a car with them to get to sites and restaurants. There is no lift forcing people to use one of 3 sets of stairs to get to their room. The room was very small but did include a desk and chair to work on a lap top. The Staff speaks not so good English and finding one that can speak good English is a challenge. The restaurant prepares simple food that is cheap. You will not go hungry or go broke either.

A little too far out of the way.
This is a very small hotel in an area of Kiev where there is nothing around. The metro is at least a mile away and there are no restaurants or anything within walking distance. You either need to have a car or use Uber to do anything in the city itself. Über one way is around $4 so it is not expensive, but it does add up quickly. Very little of the staff speaks any English at all so if you are going to stay, make sure you download Google translator. You are definitely going to need it. The people that stay at this particular hotel like to have their car alarms go off during all times of the day and night and argue outside the hotel at 3 am. It’s like living in New York but with trees!

Location was remote. The room was freezing cold. My girl saw a naked man showering in the shared bathroom as he did not lock the door. She refused to stay the night so we checked out after only 2 hours. Were told no refund.

Excellent Value!
Excellent hotel! The value for the price is incredible. I stayed in one of the $7 rooms last year, and sprung for the $11 room this time, which I felt was well worth twice the size and including a bathroom in the room. Amazing value for this price. Breakfast is delicious and reasonably-priced at the café. Gorgeous woman works at the main desk and knows English.

Cheap and clean, but far from the metro
Friendly staff that speaks some english. Inexpensive and the rooms are cleaned daily. The cheapest rooms like I stayed in are very small. No desk, just a nightstand, a shelf and a coat hanger. Twin sized bed. Sheets replaced daily. Bathrooms are very clean and have good showers with hot water at a good water pressure. the only downfall is that it is pretty far from the metro, about 5-10 minutes walk from the bus, but I do NOT recommend walking at night. My friends who live in the area say it is dangerous crime-wise and there are many areas where there are no streetlights. If you plan to take cabs, it should be fine though it may offset some of your savings. If you take a bus and the metro, it could take an hour to get to the center of the city. Maybe 20 minutes by cab with no traffic. Only did it once. Laundry service was same day and very inexpensive. Restaurant was okay too, but the coffee etc was a bit pricy compared to what you can get elsewhere in the city. Location is far from most restaurants too. for the price though, this was a very good experience. I would definitely consider staying again. Cabs to the airport are available at the front desk and inexpensive.

A lot of mistakes were made when I extended my visit, however the hotel staff was very nice and apologetic. It took them 30 minutes to assign me the right room key at 2am in the morning.

A bugert Hotel in Kiev
The Hotel is under interior construction and noisy building work continued until late in the evening. The entrance to the hotel was slippery and dangerous in bad weather. Staff were trying to do their best in difficult circumstances. Although reasonably priced, it was overall a disappointing stay.

The hotel is very good, but very far from subway.
The building is an old one, but it's being reconstructed. Personal is very polite and can speak English. It's cheap, but rooms are very clean. The main disadvantage is that the hotel is VERY far from the subway and from the bus stop. It worth staying there only in case you're for a short time in Kiev and planing only to sleep in the hotel. it takes 1.5-2h to rich the hotel from downtown.

Brand new hotel with computers in rooms
My stay at this hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms were still new and clean, especially on the 5th floor. Everything worked, including computers with internet access and free office programs, cable TV in every room. The location is quite good too, it was easy to get to Nivki metro station, I had no problems finding this hotel too, actually, I had no problems at all. It is a very good deal for the price. I hope it will not go up soon, as I think I will come back to stay there in a while again.

Соотношение цены и качества
Персонал отличный. Состояние отеля в хорошем касестве. Район правда на троечку, зато постоянно курсирует трансфер до метро Нивки. Рядом через три дома есть хороший супермаркет Фора, где при тебе приготовят наивкуснейшую пиццу. Очень много иностранцев отдыхают в данном отеле. С моей секретной ценой две ночи обошлись мне в $40. Соотношение цены и качества на достойном уровне. Рекомендую соло путешественникам либо парочке без детей.
