Hotel Kievskaya   K   (No website.)   St. Petersburg, Russia   Phone: 7 (812) 166-0456    

Email: info@kievsakaia.spb.ru

Rates: Single with shower $30; double with shower $40; 2 room apartments $60 to $70; basic rooms: single $15, double $20, three people $21.

Location Rating: Fair. Close to the city center. Right next to the city's main bus terminal.

Proximity To Metro: Fair. About a 15 minute walk to Ligovsky Prospekt Metro Station.

Lobby Appearance: Old, but clean. The old front door slams shut behind you.

Room Appearance: Basic. Old. The bathroom struck me as unattractive and a little odd. There's a toilet, a sink, and a hose with a shower head on it. The drain is in the middle of the bathroom. So you can spray water all over the toilet and sink while you shower. This was a better room. Other rooms don't have showers. Instead you use a communal shower area that you share with other hotel guests.

Useful Nearby Businesses: The bus station.

Hotel Restaurants: They have one hotel restaurant that looked okay. It is a little old looking, but it doesn't look bad.

Other Amenities: Internet access.

Would I Stay Here? I would prefer a higher quality place. We saw the rooms with showers and the conditions weren't bad. It's basic. Nothing fancy. The rooms we saw were old, but clean. Tanya thinks for the price and proximity to the city center it is a good value. I think our customers would prefer accommodations that weren't so basic. I think the saying "you get what you pay for applies here." But it was of higher quality than some of the other lower-end places we visited.

Staff Speaks English? No.

Comments: Corridor carpets need replacement. The bus station next door is under renovation. The hotel was probably originally built for bus drivers and passengers. International buses and buses that take long trips within Russia stop at this terminal. The $30 and $40 rooms are basic. The cheaper rooms are probably very basic.
