A good hotel in a nice old district of Kyiv - Podil.

The hotel has great potential. Its standard and suite rooms are head and shoulders above those of most Kyiv hotels in this price range. "Price and quality" is the top priority!

Traditional hotel near the city center in historical district. The hotel is not big, with classic interior. Almost everything is sort of a old fashioned but still of a good quality and in good condition. Basic hotel cosmetics, slippers and bath robes are provided.
From the disadvantages: high price, limited TV channels with bad signal, and during my stay there was some problems with water pressure.

It is a very old hotel. Not much invested in the last years. I had to change my key 3-4 times per day during my stay. I was waiting security in front of my door to come and open the door because the key card wouldn’t work. If you forget something in the room, forget about it… you can’t enter again. Every other day I had to remind that no water was placed in my room. There was hair in the shower from the previous stay. I could easily hear the family that was checking in at 3 am and how they were argueing and placing their clothes in the cabinets. Breakfast was decent and tasted good. Despite all, the staff was friendly.

It is a very old hotel never renovated from which the owner wants to take out every profit without investing, thwbks to old positive reviews.
Moquette is old and consumed, with bold spots in it, many th8ngs don't work: lights in the room, water flush in wc, piecws of forniture fall apart everywhere.
Breakfast is very basic: some slice of ham and cheese, some tomato, zucchini, homelette and bacon. If not late you will find some bakery and pasta.
Doesn't worth the price required, it is more a 2 stars than a 4 ones hotel.
Complimentary goods are of bad quality, soap doesn't wash, shampoo doesn't make foam.
Position is quite good, still no motive for staying there.

The hotel is nice and beautiful, the rooms are clean and cozy, and they have everything you need. The only downside is the limited TV channels, but that's not a big deal, and the Wi-Fi is poor, which isn't great. I didn't have breakfast, but I'll let you know when I get back to you.

Nice and clean, simple rooms and breakfast.
Decoration is not my favorite.
It is a complex of few buildings, so you might need to walk between them to your room, which might be annoying on bad weather.

Useless hotel. I am describing my experience below. Last month I traveled to Kiev for business work and on the recommendation of office guy, I booked in this hotel. Before landing I made a request to get a quiet room away from main road, as in one of the previous reviews I read that main road can be quite noisy.
On arriving to the hotel, I was asked to pay in full, which I did, and then i was directed to the room. To my dismay the room was directly on the main road and that means noise is going to be there.
The room was small compared to the price I paid, but since i had no option now, I decided to settle in. After about 30 minutes of checking I realized the air-con is not working and it is only emitting plain air (and not cool air). On checking with the reception i was told in rude voice that aircon is not working and will be repaired tomorrow. Then how am I suppose to sleep in the night ? The receptionist guy told me to keep window open !!!
I said are you kidding , you charge me 150 bucks, the room is on main road and for this price I am suppose to sleep with window open ??
That time i remembered having read about this hotel in previous comments that aircon is not normally working.
But the real problem was - I had paid in full in cash. So I had to create some drama at the reception to get the refund and then happily shifted to anther hotel nearby.
So avoid this hotel at any cost, and one more rule - when in Kiev never pay full, pay only first night charges and once all is ok pay rest of the amount.
If receptionist insist tell him /her that you will get cash tomorrow from your colleague.

I am writing this review from my experience during my last stay at this hotel and as a professional hotelier. I don't think it is a 4* hotel.
Pros:
- great location. As I am from Kyiv I can confirm the location is very central with walking distance to many of the main attractions.
- breakfast was fine. Not a huge choice of food, but it is fulfilling.
Cons:
-staff. Most of them don't speak English fluently enough to provide information and explain things. The lady, who checked us in was good, but not very informative.
- check in. Following previous point. Not informative as I've been with my partner and he is a foreigner, and I've expected reception to give some more details as well for him.
- room. The size is fine. But it was facing the street and was VERY-VERY noisy for me, as the tram is in a couple of meters from entrance. I could feel vibrations as well when it was passing by. So I couldn't sleep properly. Shower doors were broken. Room generally wasn't very clean. A/C didn't work. Safety box didn't work. Minibar fridge didn't work.
- amenities. Shower amenities were fine, but no additional water provided (you'll find 2 bottles of water upon arrival as welcome drink, that's it).
- safety. We came in the evening - no receptionist on spot, only cleaning lady. We came in the morning to check out - still no receptionist. There is no double lock in the room. I didn't feel safe with this situation.
Generally, I would say the quality doesn't match the price.

Not very famous hotel, but service is good and prices are modest. Like a good 3* European hotel. Located in the center of Podil district.
