Street Address: Boricpilckye Shosse

* Great cabin experience *

Rates: $98 to $275 for 24 hours. Half for 12 hours.

Location Rating: Outside of the city.

Proximity To Metro: Not near the metro.

Lobby Appearance: The main building is still under construction, but they have neat little log cabins.

Room Appearance: You can get a real log cabin experience here. The cabins are new.

Useful Nearby Businesses: A bit isolated. Located along a busy highway leading from the city to the suburbs.

Hotel Restaurants: Food is the emphasis of this enterprise. Nice, new, high quality restaurant. They also have outdoor private dining rooms that are inside covered wagons (like old west covered wagons). A 300 person restaurant is being built inside the yet-to-be-completed hotel. I was told that a river will run through the restaurant! It sounds like the restaurant will have impressive water features.

Other Amenities: One of the cabins has a sauna. It is a woodsy area. Unusual underground wine cellar.

Would I Stay Here? Yes, but away from the highway.

Staff Speaks English? Yes.

Comments: Well, the administrator was very, very cool. And I had my first shot of the Ukrainian National Drink, which I was later told, while my throat and mouth were on fire, that it was 50% alcohol. It appeared he and my guide for this day, Vova, had a good laugh. Good thing I wasn't driving. Well, they have a few cabins that I really liked. Unfortunately, there is a lot of highway noise, so ask for a cabin in the back. The most expensive cabin has a sauna with a door especially for running out into the snow naked, or nearly naked, which is the Russian method of using the sauna - hot, cold, hot, cold back and forth. This cabin also has a second floor. What I really liked about the cabins was the way I felt there. It is unusual and cozy and I think others would love the experience of staying in a unusual environment like this. In August 2006 it is expected their hotel will open. I certainly expect it will be a nice, high quality, innovative hotel with high standards from what I saw on this evening.

A lot of the food is prepared on-site, liked smoked meats. They are definitely investing substantially in their facilities. My only concern is the highway noise. I was definitely treated well here and they have the service attitude.

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.
