Apartment on Khreshchatyk

The place is right across the road from the column and flags honouring our heroes who died fighting, so you can't get more central. That location had me fully packed. The staff are fantastic, friendly and helpful, and the rooms are clean, with quick, deliberate room service. The food is amazing, made with lovely ingredients, though they put too much green oil on most things. The bar has a great drink selection, including Macallan 12 among the whiskies, which you don't often see in a smaller bar. What keeps this from being five stars across the board is how different the rooms are by floor. Last time I was on the second floor; this stay I was on the first, and it wasn't at all like the other one. There was no way to turn the lights off from bed, no bathroom extractor fan, no carpet, and I could hear people talking through the walls. Those are small issues compared with how good everything else is, and you can ask for a different floor. Next time I'll request the second floor before booking to make sure I get one of the nicer rooms. :)
