"Hi fellow travellers, just to let you know that Hotel Rus, a 3* hotel, felt like a 4* and it was a welcome relief to come back to after a hard day's photography! I started my day with a fantastic shower that was like a HydroTherapy session - it was so hard, it felt rather like an Indian Head Massage - that got me off to a good start! I followed that with a hearty breakfast from their buffet selection, all of which were really well cooked and delicious with some great salads too. Of course, there's cereals too, with milk, Kefir or plain/strawberry yoghurt. Pancakes, with fine honey or jams; toast, croissants, sweet pastry delight of lemon or chocolate and of course, hot coffee or tea - what a choice and what a delight to start the day that way. I then went out for a day of taking many pictures of street art and graffitti, which are my passion, returning quite late in the evening after walking 24,967 steps, which definately required a nice soak in a hot bath - all soaps and towels etc., provided of course, with grooming routine finished with an efficient hair dryer - very necessary with short hair that looks like a hedgehog if not tamed into place with hot air! WiFi is vital and the signal is strong and constant with no lag time during searches. The bed was comfortable - slept like a log. The staff are all amazing and welcoming, so if you need to come to the vibrant city of Kyiv, which I'd encourage for a holiday, then I'd recommend Hotel Rus and look forward to my return soon."
