I met an Egyptian on the aircraft Ukrainian Airlines from UAE.We landed in Kiev at mid-night. My Egyptian didnt had a driver waiting. I had a driver waiting for me so I dropped him in Kozatsky on the way to Hotel Lybid. I proceeded for Hotel .Lybid. Next morning I wished to see my friend so I asked Lybid Staff... more

.Hotel has very good location, but except that it was disaster: no English speakers, huge wooden handle attached to the key, only smoking area in hotel’s café, barley moving elevators, interior looks like it was never renovated ( for at least 20 years). After check-in in reception we got room on 7th floor, before we could get there we had... more

Stayed room 603. Booked this hotel through SoloEast Travel in Ukraine. Price ran to $240 for a twin room for 2 nights, though this likely included a hefty portion for the travel agent. Room was spacious and fairly clean with an interesting 1950s bathroom. Hotel staff were mostly all really friendly. Location is the best thing about this hotel, right... more

Kozatsky is a former USSR military guest house for officers. I thing nothing has essentially changed since that times. The same atmosphere, the same rooms, the same staff. The reception lady strongly resembled my school teacher in Moscow, that severe old Communist lady. It is not worth discussing the rooms, as the interior is absolutely crazy. A mixture of some... more

Couldn't ask for a better location in Kiev -- right on the main square, walking distnace to all the central Kiev sights, easy access to the metro. Staff is extremely... Soviet. Almost as if sent by Hollywood for some Communist era spy film. We got there a few minutes before 1:00 and they made us wait till 1:00 before we... more

I've stayed in kozatsky 4 times, the only selling point of it is the location. it is great value to be able to walk from the hotel to the main tourist locations of kiev especially as the hotels around it cost a fortune. The hotel is very 1980's or earlier and is basic. However rooms have always been clean and... more

a basic hotel but in a great location right on independance square , we stayed in different rooms on the 2 nights we stayed there , 1 over looking the sq. with a really poor bathroom the other no view with a slightly better bathroom . the first receptionists we came across treated us as if we were invisible while... more

Location: excellent. Value: pretty good for this grossly overpriced city. Rooms: not bad, better than expected. Service: non-existent. more

This hotel is really cheap. We paid 120USD for a one bedroom suite per night. We had a view of noisy Independence Square (nothing special there except for crowds of crazy "orange revolutionaries" in their tents). The beds in our deluxe suite were so short (ca. 185 cm) that I had to carry my mattress into the sitting room every... more
