8.2/10 Very Good! (1,002 reviews)
The location is excellent. The view is unbeatable. It’s right in the heart of the city, within walking distance of everything. However, the breakfast is very simple and the internet is poor. Still, I will always stay at Ukraina.

Very cheap and safe city! We enjoyed the free walking tours (see Kiev Walking Tour page on Facebook) and the Urbex tour (google "another Kiev"). The metro is cheap and reliable, and Uber is very cheap too. Try out restaurant Chicken Kyiv!

I come for a rest at this superb, small, quiet homely hotel with good food. I tend not to eat out. On a Sunday I look at open air paintings at St. Andrew’s church and often buy 1 or 2. The hotel is very helpful in packaging them for return to UK
