With the strip bar in the ground floor, the hookers at reception, the grumpy check in, and floor guard on each floor, it really is back to the USSR. But great exterior to the hotel and a great location to be in.

I stayed her twice just because of a VERY central location....Rooms remind Soviet Union: furniture is old, bathroom looks poor, towels smells like a kitchen. And ready? wifi is available only on the first 4 floors!!!!!!! They placed me on 11th floor without wifi, so when I went down to ask about wifi in my room and their possibility to... More

Rooms were dirty, housekeeping was terrible, even with do not disturb sign on door in Russian they would walk right in first thing in the morning and want to clean room while still asleep, had to explain to come back later, breakfast was bad, front desk were extremely rude and arrogant, would yell at you in Russian telling you what...

Location is unbeatable. it is right in the center across from the major plaza and undergound shopping mall (globus). The rates are very affordable btu commensurate with the hotel quality that resembles a hotel from the 80s or 90s. Time warp.

If you are an American and have ever stayed in Westin, Hilton, or even Holiday In, you will be outraged and highly disappointed with this hotel. 1) The room was freezing and there was no means of making it warmer, in fact, there was a sing in the lobby that using any external heaters in the room is strictly prohibited....

It all started off great - they allowed me, for a small charge to check in VERY early. I requested and received the top floor with balcony facing Independence Square...amazing views...thank you. The room was bright, large and had very high ceilings giving it an extra feeling of space. Yes the decor was older, but well maintained. The bed was... More

The hotel is located at few meters from Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence square), in the heart of Kiev. So the position is absolutely perfect. Subway stops are very near. By metro you can reach the train station in few minutes. Staff is not always perfect (at first they gave me a room different than the one I had booked, but they... More
