Kiova Hostellit

Plussat: Hostellille oli helppo päästä juna-asemalta kävellen alle 10 minuuttia. Hinta oli erittäin järkevä (189UAH/vuode neljän hengen pienessä huoneessa) ja huoneet olivat siistit. Respa puhui kohtuullisen hyvää englantia.

Miinukset: Aamiainen oli perinteinen valmiiksi annosteltu lautasellinen kaurapuuroa, mikä oli kyllä maittavaa, mutta olisin toivonut edes kahvin tai teen lisäksi ruokajuomaksi, mikä ei kuulunut ilmeisesti aamiaiseen.

Plussat: Location is good nekt to tran station.

Miinukset: Shower temperature is cold and no free space.

Plussat: Friendly and helpful staff, location was really good.

Miinukset: Rooms are pretty dark

Plussat: Good location

Miinukset: Dirty beds, rude staff - full of homeless people, and very expensive for what you get

Plussat: The place is cozy it has a cozy little restaurant, the staff are nice and friendly , toilets and showers are clean everything is clean in general i had a nice stay the blankets and towels are clean but at first i was in a room and i found insects in it i demanded to the staff and she changed me the room easily and gave me new stuff (blankets and towels) i recommend it and would like to come

Plussat: Decent breakfast

Miinukset: Toilets always closed when you need them

Plussat: Staff behaviour,rooms ,its all good

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The fact I have my personal card for my room and safe

Miinukset: I didn’t like the mixed dormitory

Plussat: location is good

Miinukset: cold service attitude and being completely ignored for the breakfast that's included

Plussat: Breakfast was only porridge (and tea). If you don't like porridge (I don't, though it seems to be acceptable to the more local travelers), then the included breakfast is essentially a non-breakfast. But I did fill up on the tea (hot and cold drinking water are also provided gratis, in the hallway). I chose the place because it is a short walk from the train station that I arrived late in, so I valued its convenient location - and there are plenty of standard fast food places between the train station and the hostel. There is also a well-stocked large supermarket on the walk from the station to the hostel. (The supermarket is next to the large long-distance bus station, so you can also stock up on food and connect to a long bus ride if that's something you need to do.)

Miinukset: The hostel is fairly pedestrian looking - very uninspiring, even ugly. And there were flies or mosquitoes in the room so I was bitten during my sleep.

Plussat: Nice eating area, free breakfast, very clean rooms,

Miinukset: Not much to dislike

Plussat: Location is excellent. Check in 24/7

Miinukset: Sooo noisy. The rooms are super small

Plussat: I liked the location it's in the middle of city center

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: This hostel is the worst I've ever seen. Cockroaches and dirt were everywhere. Absolutely not recommend!!!!

Plussat: It is a heart of Kiev, i love this place. Only good impressions. NICE SHOWER, CLEAN Towels, big rooms.

Plussat: I don't like anything about the hostel at all. The don't consider personal comfort.

Miinukset: Location, state of the property. The internal arrangement and customer care

Plussat: Ikkunasta avautui hyvä näkymä Maidan-aukiolle. Venäjäntaitoisena itse sain ainakin palvelua ja neuvoja muutamiin käytönnön kysymyksiin.

Miinukset: Hostelli oli täynnä huonokäytöksisiä ryssiä metelöimässä ja soittamassa musiikkia yötä myöten, jopa hostellihuoneissa. Omistajaahan tämä ei kiinnostanut pätkääkään, vaikka aulan seinällä oli lappu, jossa mainittiin yöllä metelöinnistä seuraavan sakkomaksu. Lappu oli varmaankin koriste, jota tehtävää se ajoi varsin hyvin ottaen huomioon hotellin siisteys. Pari torakkaa havaitsin ja huone ja petivaatteet näytti sen verran epäsiisteiltä, että pistin kotiin tultua reissukamat parvekkeelle pakkaseen ludekaranteeniin ihan vaan varmuuden vuoksi. En ihmettelisi, jos paikassa olisi niitäkin. Älkää menkö tänne!

Plussat: You simply cannot beat this location. There is a balcony that gives you the best view of Independence Square. You simply have to stay here, if only for one night, just for the view.

Miinukset: Having a safe or lockers would have made my stay much more comfortable. Adding information to the booking.com listing about how the elevator works would have saved me a lot of sweat.

Miinukset: The were really really unfriendly

Plussat: Location. Even though staff had little knowledge of English, they were tried their best to be helpful.

Miinukset: Shower, I skipped it till our next destination.

Plussat: View from the balcony,but actually it didn't help me to accept the property

Miinukset: Worst hostel I've seen ever!!! I could not use the shower and toilet, and finally moved after one night. Is dirty, like no one never try to clean it, completely broke and stinky. Hope I did not get parasites or infections after one night there. And in the morning like cherry on a cake I met a huge bug...

Plussat: Location was great, balcony overlooking the main square was very nice at night

Miinukset: Very small lift that sometimes didnt work

Plussat: onlu location was good

Miinukset: except location everything was bad

Plussat: Good location.

Miinukset: Not clean. Very small room. No window, no clean air.

Plussat: nothing at all

Miinukset: this was terrible hotel with terrible staff, very unfriend and polity person was the lady which was "service" us, no internet password (she was telling us that she lost password and for 4 days she could not contact the hotel owner for ask the password :) ) , no light, I was live in cave in fact, when I had protest and request money beck this girl do not refund it. she was closing the doors and when I was coming beck to hotel was waiting more than hour to open it. So, I am traveling its 10 years already but I have never been such kind of uncomfortable and terrible hotel, I will never forgot it

Plussat: Staff are ok. Prbably it is good place becouse of price (300 uhr).

Miinukset: I have room without window (wow). Bathroom was not clean and there is no hot water at morning. No kitchen or any place to cook. There is no such information on booking presentation if it was meby I decide on it becouse of price but now I have much bigger expectations.

Plussat: Nothing.

Miinukset: Everything especially the receptionist.

Plussat: I loved the price, loved the location even more which is great.

Miinukset: Staff didn’t speak English which is fine, I just showed my name and paid my fee. Also finding the building was very hard. Had to get directions from one of the other hostels. Better signs needed. Rooms also very tiny but I just call it comfy!

Miinukset: The receptionist doesn’t speak english. It was really hard to find the hostel. It was very scary to enter the hostel. It was very bad comunication.

Miinukset: I do not stay that hotel

Plussat: nothing

Miinukset: everything

Plussat: Location was very good right at the center of Kiev. It is very close few minutes walk to shops, stores, buses&metro. Very good value for money.value for money

Miinukset: We arrived at midnight, It took us very long time to find the hostel. The hostel was under tunnel, it was like a Maze. When we eventually found the hostel, with help from strangers hanging out in neighboring hostels, the front door entrance was locked,a code was needed to open it. There were no lights outside hostel in the street nothing could be seen,all the lights inside were turned off, no sign at the door to inform where reception area was. We kept on knocking and calling the number. Once inside and we checked in, the twin room we were given was extremely small, we could hardly move inside the room, the hanger unit to hang our clothes was broken, the glass shelf unit above one of the beds had broken edge, one can injure head when getting up from the bed in darkness. The following morning there were lots of shouting and arguing outside our room, then a rude woman , the same receptionist who checked us in previous night and could not speak a word of English, pointed at us to collect our luggage and belongings showing us google translation in her mobile phone something about the smell! we were moved from second floor to first floor. The second twin room we were given was a bit bigger we could move around in the room, the curtain was dropped to one side we could not close the curtain at night to stop cold coming in, the bedding were old and shabby, one bed was broken on one side, there was no toilet seat in toilet it was removed, the shower sliding glass door could not be shut. There was no Wi Fi. The same woman receptionist, who also cleaned and tidied everywhere was constantly shouting at someone who kept ringing her on her mobile, later in the evening police was called at the property, there was something going on in the room next door.
