Globe Runner Hotel & Hostel Kyiv City Center in Kiev

Globe Runner Hostel completely exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and helpful — they genuinely go out of their way to make sure you’re comfortable and taken care of. The hostel is spotless, well organized, and feels safe and relaxed.
The beds are comfortable, the common areas are perfect for hanging out and meeting great people, and the overall vibe is just awesome. You can tell a lot of heart goes into running this place, and it really shows in the details and atmosphere.
If you’re traveling in Ukraine and want a place that feels welcoming, social, and reliable, Globe Runner Hostel is a no-brainer. I would 100% stay here again and recommend it to anyone without hesitation.

We rented the Urban Quarters Apartment and were very satisfied. It was clean, stylish and had character and ambiance. We really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely be returning. Our favorite aspect was our gorgeous balcony! great to sit and chat. The location is awesome, close to many restaurants, food shops etc.
Really pleasantly surprised. Thanks!

Great position, shame about the roadworks but will be good when completed. Room comfortable but had to turn down the heating. Will stay again next time.

It was great. Clean & friendly hostel in good location

I love the interior design, sophisticated loft style. There’s everything you need for a comfy stay either it is a dormitory or a single room. A pleasure to stay in a clean room, sleep on a big bed; the rooms aren’t small - even for crowded room you won’t be feeling in a tiny space, I like this decision not to save on room sizes. The receptionists are very helpful, thanks guys :)

I stayed here for the last part of my holiday and there are a few things to note. The dorm beds are very nice for a hostel and the beds themselves are comfy and the curtains are great, but the top one is too high for short people like me. Honestly, I had a very hard time always getting up there and at night I avoided getting down in case I needed it, because I didn't feel safe doing it in the dark. The bathroom situation I find a bit ridiculous for such a big hostel. On our side of the hostel for many rooms so probably for more than 40 people overall there were only 2 unisex showers and toilets. Aside from the fact that I find that too little I also hated the concept of unisex because it was hard to have any privacy if needed for things. You had to get dressed in the wet shower which is not the smartest idea. Also I was there 2 mornings and both days the showers were disgusting. It seemed like no one had cleaned them in a while. There was no atmosphere in the hostel, the common space was pretty much empty almost always so it was hard to meet people. The hostel could benefit from organizing something for the guests, however this might have also been because of covid. There is also no AC, but I knew that beforehand and I was lucky as it wasn't too hot those nights. Last thing, the hostel is quite pricey compared to others which is fine, but in that amount you don't get a towel or a lock (as in some other hostels), you have to rent those separately (not a deposit - this annoyed me particularly for the lockers. With the amount I rented the lock I could have bought a new one from Eva - I found out later).
