The hostel provides essential services such as 24-hour front desk, free WiFi, a shared kitchen, laundry facilities, and free parking.

The hostel caters mainly to travelers looking for a simple, affordable place to sleep while exploring Kyiv rather than those seeking a lively social atmosphere. Overall, the rating stands at 7.6/10 with consistent scores of 7/10 for cleanliness, amenities, location, and service.

Location

Situated in Kyiv's central district, Friends Forever - Hostel is just a few meters away from popular eateries like Domino's Pizza (43 m), Nobu Cafe (280 m), and Aroma Espresso Bar (360 m). The hostel is near a metro station and within walking distance of Kyiv’s main avenue, although it is located on a secondary street that some guests find less welcoming at first glance. The nearest beach, Tsentralniy plyazh, is 2.16 km away, and Zhulyany Airport (IEV) lies about 7 km from the property. This location offers convenient access to city attractions and transport, making it practical for travelers who plan to explore Kyiv extensively.

Tips

  • If you arrive late, be prepared to knock or ring the bell as the entrance is not immediately obvious.
  • Consider bringing your own lock if you want to secure your belongings, since lockers require a deposit and are outside the rooms.
  • Use the shared kitchen to save money on meals, and note that the hostel is better suited for travelers who prioritize location and budget over social activities.

Good, nice staff

I will give four three, however it can really varies depends on your expectation. So I will list some points of my experience. The location is really perfect, very close to the center, restaurants and metro station! However, it is located in a secundary street of the avenue, this street at first view looks a little strange, maybe not safe (But I did not have any problem even when I arrive at night in the hostel, so it was only my sensation). The hostel is clean, the recepcionists are very kind, there is no charge for the towels and the locker is not in the room and it cost 50UAH that is returned at the end of your stay. It seems that most of people use the hostel for long stay period, so if you are looking for that kind of hostel to interact with other tourists, have fun and go out, probably you will not like this one. However, if you want to save money, be in a good location and travel the city and use the hostel just to sleep, it is a good option.

We (3 friends) have been there on sunday. The girls at the reception are very friendly and could answer all our questions. The hostel is very familiar and nice. It is possible to store the bags till you have to go to the airport after checkout. Thanks again for everything!

Small hostel in the city center of Kiew. The entrance is not easy to find and you have to knock/bell that somebody opens your door. There is drinking water available - that’s a huge advantage (be careful with the tap water). Lockers are there (deposit required) as well as a good working WiFi. Unfortunately there is no cozy chill room and therefore not to much opportunity to talk to other tourists. The beds are very soft. The toilets are clean and the shower is very good. The staff is friendly and 24/7 there for you. If you are looking for just a bed then I would recommend this hostel - for socializing and cooking together etc you should choose a bigger hostel.

I stayed a few nights in this wonderful hostel during my trip to Kiev. This place is very welcoming and happy. The room and the common areas were sparklingly clean and the whole atmosphere was great. The location is also unbeatable! You step outside and you’re in the heart of the city. Highly recommend Friends Forever for all the travelers!
