Podol Plaza Hotel

always stay at this hotel while being in kiev. will stay there for the next time also.

we booked a suite on the 6th floor and the elevator goes only to the 5th.

Front-desk staff are knowledgeable, professional, and efficient. Housekeeping staffers are very well-trained and kind. While some hotels will claim a twenty-four-hour front desk without much to back up the claim, this hotel earns it. Arrival at Podil Plaza Hotel in the early hours after midnight was happy, secure, and well-attended. Rates and prices at the hotel itself are fair, with the front-office reasonable and aiming to please on any request.

As might be expected in a prime neighborhood (Podil neighborhood between Andriivsky Descent and Kontraktova Ploshcha), retail prices at stores in the immediate vicinity are high. Walk west for better retail pricing at coffee shops, grocery stores, etc.

The hotel and its location are great. If you stay at the hotel for leisure, it is a really good choice.

If you travel for business and need to work at the hotel room, it is not very good. There is hardly any desk/table space for a computer/documents, one needs to stay in the bed to work, which is not very comfortable. The light in the room is not good at all if you need to work, it is rather dim and there is no desk lamp.
