Kiova hotellit Podil

Plussat: Nice hotel with elegant design and friendly staff. The breakfast was great and the rooftop bar is quite nice to hang out. The area is very nice with many places to eat and hang out.

Miinukset: The tram which runs in front of the hotel shakes the building and make some noise. I would also expected some gym facilities at a hotel in this rate.

Plussat: I thought the hotel had great style. The staff were incredibly friendly. It was also magical having a cocktail on the roof. The room was excellent, clean, comfortable and well provided for. Nothing can beat an excellent shower, and the shower was excellent. The breakfast was also great. So good to get a decent coffee when you are travelling. All in all a great experience.

Miinukset: I don't have any particular complaints.

Plussat: Sijainti, tyylikäs, sisustus, loistava henkilökunta

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Very cool and modern hotel. Has so much character and style. Everything has been really well thought out, and you can see why everyone enjoys staying there. Did I mention they even have a super cool roof top bar? Amazing.

Miinukset: I honestly can't fault anything to do with the hotel, but I think for travel purposes, they could have had a better parking area for taxis to stop.

Plussat: Well located, good rooftop bar.

Miinukset: Price quality ratio is way off as compared to other Kiev properties. Prices are 2x to 3x that of comparable properties. Primary asset is a good rooftop bar where it takes 30mins to get served during off peak hours.

Plussat: The super sweet and professional staff.

Plussat: Interior design and vibe.

Miinukset: We took the junior suite but were surprised to find 1.5m bed although the room was supposed to have a king size bed of at least 1.8-2m. It also lists a balcony in the room facilities but I later found hiding in the room description something about most rooms or some other unclear wording. Anyway I asked about it in the front desk and was told a manager would talk to us, That never happened. Also an annoying metal bar which is part of the buildings foundations greets you when opening the door, in the bathroom they have one and it's a nice design touch but the one in the entrance just prevents you from entering normally. Breakfast was always missing food and you had to point the staffs attention to that, if you were able to find them. One day we just decided to have breakfast outside the hotel because there was too much food missing and you couldn't get the staffs attention. Another incident was that one day they had what I'm guessing is a wedding on the hotel's roof which was just outside our window. We came for a break before going out again and it was annoying staying in the room with all the noise, lucky we weren't planning on a nap. We asked the front desk about it and got an answer that it was planned ahead and another one was planned for later in the week. I didn't really understand how that's a relevant answer but I felt I was complaining too much already and it was just ruining the mood of the vacation, so I left the subject. I come to kiev a few times a year for business trips and usually stay at a business hotel in another part of the city, this time I asked my wife to join for the weekend and decided to go for what seemed like a cool hotel, the interior design is awesome, but other than that the level of service is very disappointing and I wouldn't return here.

Plussat: Location, friendly staff, trendy and minimalist design.

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Very nice design hotel, with care of every detail Very good breakfast Confortable library for working or reading

Miinukset: Area can be a bit noisy on the weekend nights

Plussat: staff, room, decor. very minimalist so if that's your thing than this is your place. hipster ukrainian.

Miinukset: breakfast a little weak compared to the rest of our experience there. however, limited kitchen size so i understand.

Plussat: Very pleased with the hotel and stuff. Like the breakfast

Plussat: Easy to find and in a nice part of town.

Plussat: Lots of character! Nice breakfast buffet.

Miinukset: My first room stank of cigarette smoke despite being a nonsmoking hotel. At first they said they couldn't move me but fortunately found an extra room.

Plussat: Breakfast good but all the food was removed at 10am sharp although the breakfast was advertised as being available until 10am so if we turned up at 9;55am we would not be able to complete our breakfast!

Plussat: We had a great stay at Staro Hotel! It is located in the old and charming neighborhood of Kiev, Podil and it is quite close to the metro station . The room was spacious, really clean and well furnished. The breakfast was continental with a touch of ucrainian cousine! Really delicious! I loved their pancakes! The personals was available 24/7. They were really helpful and give us good tips for local restaurants! I definitely reccomand Staro Hotel for your staty in Kiev!

Miinukset: why not also capouccino for breakfast?

Plussat: Overall theme superb. Breakfast perfect selection. Live music in restaurant. Staff helpful friendly . Rooms spacious and comfortable . A special place for style and concept . Highly recommend.

Miinukset: Seems a little isolated but hotel first class

Plussat: Convinient location in Podil district. Good breakfast, clean room.

Plussat: Nice hotel with beautiful design. Room was nice and comfortable. Breakfast was very tasty! Looks like hotel was designed with love.

Miinukset: The stuff was nice but changed the rooms by mistake, also gave us one card but at the end then told us to pay for the second one though they didn’t give us second one. We payed it. But it was a first time that we were asked to pay for the card. Hotel needs some wall renovations in the room and new bathrobes. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay.

Plussat: Good standard

Miinukset: Location could have been a little bit better

Plussat: location was perfect, under 10 min wallk to Metro, ballkony and comfortable space in the room

Miinukset: In the Schower was not space enough because shower curtains and in the room was windows curtains impractical, but is not so important...

Plussat: Very kind and friendly staff. The rooms were clean and the hotel was very central. The dinner was superb!

Plussat: This is the second time I stayed at this hotel and both times I found the staff very helpful, the rooms comfortable and very clean.

Miinukset: One of the receptionists did not speak English well but she was able to accomplish the task task that I wanted done anyway.

Plussat: Location is amazing, right near the funicular and really liked the Podil area - plenty of nice restaurant options. The 3 course a la carte breakfast was one of the best ones i have had in a hotel, and a lovely leisurely start to the day. The restaurant i done very nicely with lovely decor. Free water whenever you needed it was good. Overall good value for money.

Miinukset: The room didn't look anywhere near as modern as the ones in the pictures, which must be the renovated ones. It was spacious and the bed comfy but very old school, quite dark and smelt a bit like stale cigarettes! Staff were perfectly friendly but we asked a receptionist for some restaurant recommendations for varensky and she seemed to have no idea! It would be good if they could give a few recommendations in the area, as there are plenty of nice places.

Plussat: It’s on main area , old city nearby. Most of the attractions nearby and can see by walk.

Miinukset: On going construction in the building and had noise, the other thing is too expensive as compare to other buildings.

Plussat: Location is very good, close by nice restaurants. I picked a renovated room, everything was brand new, loved the very nicely designed wall. Breakfast had limited options (3 different types) but very good quality and tasty.

Miinukset: since I was alone and stayed 1 night the size of the room wasn't a problem but if you are a couple and stay longer need of a wardrobe and some extra size.

Plussat: Very good location and staff attentive but otherwise the experience was average. The shower leaked to the floor. Every time I turned on the bathroom light the vent fan went on as well which was very noisy. Food was a disappointment. I booked all breakfasts and wanted to convert one to a lunch (at the equivalent price) and I wasn't allowed. No flexibility. Bread was always stale.

Miinukset: It seemed like from the promotional material that there was a spa on the premises. It is not true, one can have a massage at a place across the street.

Plussat: Good location as it sits next to couple of restaurants along the Petra Sahaidachnoho Street. Overall, the “McNeil Suite” I was given is quite comfortable apart from the 4 mentioned parts when performing a personal hygienic inspection in the room. Last but not least, their “Kitchen 21” is a good go if you love Indian food, I’m not really into Asian food after stationing in Hong Kong since 2008; but give that restaurant a go if you’re extremely famished, they’re currently featuring a menu for meat-lovers & vegetarians.

Miinukset: 1) Filters that are installed in the 2 air-conditioners at the McNeil Suite look like they haven’t been thoroughly cleaned for some time as thick dust was spotted. 2) Lights flash / blink during midnights (not ideal for people with some sorts of disorders, or afraid of dark, or whatever) 3) Dead bugs found in the bathroom. 4) Used tampons found in the bin of the bathroom. 5) If visitors show up, I believe the staff have the responsibilities / obligations to inform the hotel guests that someone is visiting; but I wasn’t notified at all just because the visitor was the one who took me to the hotel.

Plussat: Everything :)

Miinukset: There was some construction work in a room above our room. (this is why I didnt give the highest rank for comfort)

Plussat: Great location and friendly staff

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: The hotel is good, the only problem is that they put me on the 3rd floor and the ceiling was very low , taking half of the room, really uncomfortable.

Miinukset: The staff was great.

Plussat: The staff was super friendly and the location is very convenient. The wifi worked *perfectly* for putting in a couple of hours of work (including videocalls). We stayed two nights on two different rooms for availability reasons so I had the chance to compare. The first room was of the "Smart Double" category, a recently renewed room. We loved it, very modern and comfortable. Small, but big enough to have a desk to work from. The second night was on a room of the "Deluxe" category. While it was HUGE, the size wasn't necessarily a benefit for us, and this room hadn't gone through renovations so it was a bit dated. Things like older furniture, and power outlets not as convenient as the first room (for charging our stuff while sleeping, for instance). The size actually made it more inconvenient as the bed was upstairs but the bathroom downstairs. So, nice room, but we preferred the smaller, more modern one.

Miinukset: The deluxe room was a bit dated, but that's mostly when compared to the brand new room. Nothing else to mention really, everything was great!

Miinukset: Aamiainen niukahko. Sänky olisi voinut olla parempi. Videovalvottu parkkipaikka pihassa vilkkaan kadun vieressä, henkilökunta ei tuntunut itsekään sitä varauksetta suosittamaan mp:n parkkeeraamiseen. Tosin muutakaan ei ollut tarjolla.
