Overpriced (paid $120 for small box room), but average value for Kiev I guess. Outdated, no amenities (though TV with BBC), small. Nice views. Reasonably close to train/subway station. Had extreme difficulty booking train ticket and, despite some effort, hotel staff gave up without successfully helping us. Fabulous breakfast included. more

Overall a clean and comfortable Hotel in a excellent location should you be traveling by Train anywhere. Twin room and bathroom were a little on the small side but adequete, food in the restaurant was very nice and reasonabley priced although be prepared to have to wait a long time service is definately not fast. more

I usually spend about $100/ day for a hotel in Europe. Given that, I found nothing to complain about here. Five years ago as well at last week it met all reasonable criteria well. Breakfast was a good buffet and my only dinner was very good but expensive. Staff were always very professional. I'll go back unless someone can show... more

The Lybid is a great hotel, though, like all hotels in Kiev, a bit pricey. They offer all services; internet, taxi service, bar, restaurant, but at a price. If you can speak some Russian, do yourself a favour and walk down the block to get a cab, it will cost you half what these guys will drive you for. Internet?... more

+ nice location (not in the historical center, but pretty close; shopping mall next to the hotel, lots of caffees, shops and restaurants beside), 5 min walk from the central railway station + pretty cheap (I paid 59 euro for SGL and 72 for DBL room) + good breakfast - juices, fruits, pastry, nice homemade joghurts, porridge etc - average... more

Well suited for the frequent business traveler and is exactly what you would expect for 3 star hotel. Rooms are clean (stayed on non-smoking floor) and personnel is OK (no experience of "soviet" service received whatsoever there). The internet is available only in lobby for some reasonable pricing. Restaurant is dreadful, though you have a choice of a few chain... more

This hotel offers very good value for money and is situated in a a great location opposite the Kyiv Circus. Just a 20 minute walk from the main centre of Kyiv, there are plenty of attractions not far from the hotel including the circus, several cathedrals, parks and galleries to name a few. The service is good and the rooms... more
