Hotel Kiev-S

We only stopped for the night while passing through, and the standard room worked well. It was clean and had the basics for a comfortable stay, including a kettle, TV, and refrigerator. The staff were friendly, and the toilet and shower were cleaner than at a five-star hotel in Turkey. There’s also free enclosed parking in the courtyard. 👍💯

The quiet is probably what I value most here. We’ve stayed periodically for over 10 years while coming for equestrian competitions, and there’s almost always a room available. The parking is enclosed, so outsiders can’t get in. With prior arrangement, they’ll also accept guests arriving at night during curfew. There are two buildings, and I prefer Mayetok. The staff are very friendly, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable, with Wi-Fi, a refrigerator, TV, shower and toilet, towels, soap, and shampoo. Everything is clean, including the neatly ironed dry linen, and the beds with orthopedic mattresses are awesome. You can make tea or coffee in the morning or evening, and there’s a coffee machine.

At 1100 UAH, the room feels far too expensive for the condition it’s in. The price and quality don’t match.

The shared bathroom is on the same floor. It was clean, though the shower is small, and hot water took a while to come through. The double room itself was clean and decent, but the air conditioner faced the bed, so I had to switch it off. With the windows open, road noise was loud and constant. We paid 500 UAH for the room and 50 UAH for parking, which felt steep. We’ve never been charged so much for parking before, since it’s usually included. Still, it’s okay for an overnight stay.
