Location Rating: Very good. Near ancient Kiev as well as Independence Square.

Lobby Appearance: Small, new lobby. Good impression. Photos of guests on the lobby walls.

Room Appearance: This is a small, 24 room hotel which is only 2 years old. Everything looks new and comfortable. Nice quality. The rooms have a certain regalness to them. All rooms have air conditioning, mini-bar, internet access, a bathrobe. Room #119, a single standard with a large bed, and room #123, a double, both have 13 inch TVs. Suite #124 is larger with a more spacious bathroom and jacuzzi tub. A 13 inch TV is in the bedroom, and a 20 inch TV is in the relaxation room.

Useful Nearby Businesses: The immediate area is a bit quiet, but within a short walk is everything.

Hotel Restaurants: They have a nice little bar with 5 tables.

Other Amenities: Very nice sauna area, showers, tiny pool for cooling off, relaxation area. It is $40 an hour to use it. A cash machine is in the lobby. A one hour massage costs about $40. They do have a business center, and quite a nice conference room with attractive original art on the wall.

Would I Stay Here? Yes. I like the quiet location and the easy access to things of interest in the heart of the city.

Staff Speaks English? English spoken well here.

Comments: If you are not in good physical condition, you may not like how the hotel is located on a large hill. My guide on this day was a 30 year old male and I could hear him huffing and puffing a little as we trudged up the hill from Independence Square. Further up the hill is a pleasant square with several interesting ancient orthodox churches. In one of them, you can go up the bell tower for a great view. The rooms do not have safes, but they say valuables can be left in the hotel safe. They do have a business center. If you have a walking disability, it seems like this would not be an appropriate hotel.

I did like this hotel and found it attractive, comfortable and well-located. The royal style of room design is not for me, but they are good, well-kept rooms. The fluent English staff is a plus.

Reviews for Kiev hotels were done in October and November 2005 by Ed Ryder. Room pricing should not be relied upon as accurate since rates change for various reasons including strong demand and inflation, and where rates have been provided, it is only meant to serve as a guide and all pricing should be verified with the hotel.
