This is an older hotel built during the Soviet era, but it has a lot of charm and character and sense of history. The location is fantastic - it's near everything or close to it, and about the best you can get for a very modest price in this part of the city. I found the staff pleasant. But the breakfast buffet upstairs is the real gem. Very classy 4 star dining room, excellent food, and lots of variety. It was truly unexpected and incredible. This would be a perfect place to stay for someone not needing Hilton-like accommodations and service, but a clean and decent hotel at a very modest price that is located within walking distance of several major Kiev monuments and historical sites. A plethora of nice dining venues are steps away from the hotel. I felt quite safe around the hotel, more so than in my own city of Atlanta. It is located in a very clean and modern area of Kiev, and just down the street from the Hilton, so it's in a nice part of town.
