Igorivska - Kiev

Hotel Khreschatyk is in a great location for sightseeing. The hotel room was clean and very warm considering the freezing temps outside. One negative was the hotel (reception) staff. They were less then helpful when attempting to plan a tour, order a taxi, airport transfer, dinner reservations etc. It seemed they didn't want to make any arrangements that didn't involve some type of payment directly to the hotel. For instance, we requested they assist us in booking a tour with a specific company but we were told they would only book hotel-sponsored tours. This meant we were provided a tour guide and driver by the hotel. The tour experience was very dissapointing and we paid substantially more for the hotel package. If you're looking for a nice hotel in a great location, Hotel Khreschatyk is perfect, however, I would highly recommend not relying on the hotel staff for any of your vacation arrangements.

Anatoly was an excellent host. The airline had lost my bags for three-days. In conjunction with the airline, Anatoly coordinated the delivery of my luggage when it was finally found. He also provided me with a local cell phone at a very resonable rate...

We basically just slept here, between incoming and outgoing flights, so can't speak to the neighborhood and amenities. But the hotel was perfect for that purpose. The desk clerk spoke English which we know no Russian or Ukranian, so that was really helpful. She also whipped up breakfast for us the next morning; we had to leave by 7 so she got us fed prior to that. The room was fine-don't remember it much due to just sleeping and leaving! But I remember sleeping well... All in all, we'd stay here again between flights!

The hotel was ok for the price paid keeping in mind the Kiev is relatively expensive. The staff was trying to accommodate requests and fairly helpful. the room was ok and the overall stay was about right. Not the best I have stayed but not the worse. If you plan to stay in the room a lot, chose another hotel. If you plan to use the hotel mainly for sleeping, that is a decent choice.
