It didn't occur to us, booking flights to Kyiv back in December, to check when the Eurovision Song Contest Final was, so it was only when we came to book hotels a couple of months later that we realised that our arrival coincided with the last night of the geopolitical popfest. Our favourite place was already booked up and prices were doubled, tripled, quadrupled across the city. Fortunately, Oberig came to the rescue.||||Yes, they'd raised their prices but, being away from the centre (like our usual haunt), and starting from a very reasonable standard rate, they were still affordable. The room was of high quality, with a very comfortable bed, a great shower and a separate sitting room. Breakfast was basic but the croissants were very fresh and the tea and coffee good. Had we been staying more than the one night, this would have been an excellent base.||||Two minor complaints: the transfer from the airport, arranged through the hotel, was a little pricey compared to what we're used to paying in Kyiv, and the night staff could have been a little friendlier (the morning shift were wonderful) - but I guess nobody's at their best at 2 am.||||All in all, you could do a lot worse than...
Read moreWe stayed for one night having arrived at the airport at 2am. We chose this hotel as it was good value and reasonably close to the airport. The taxi took about 10-15 minutes from the airport.||||We checked in at 3am and the receptionist was most helpful and speedy. We were off to to our room which accommodated two bedrooms with a hall area and a bathroom with wc.||||The rooms were clean and comfortable and nice and warm. There was a tv in both rooms and plenty of space.||||We found a bar that was open about 200 metres away which got us a few pints at 3am! It was out of the hotel, left and about 100m. There was a gentlemans club next door, but sadly, it was closed when we came out of the bar!||||Breakfast was a limited affair but it was acceptable. The staff were keen and whipped away plates once finished even if we were considering a bit more!||||The area seeemed safe and ok. There didn't appear to be much there but I think if you are happy to get taxis into town which is usual in Kiev as its so big to get around, it's fine!||||I would stay at this hotel again...
Read moreI travel to Kiev in business on regular basis and usually book hotels in the centre of Kyiv, however I’ve looked for an alternative accommodation this time: somewhere near Zhulyani Airport, as I both arrived and departure there.||Hotel Oberig was my choice and I was genuinely happy with it!||I took a basic room but the size was good, bed very comfortable, everything was new and very clean. The streets outside are quite noisy, however room was air-conditioned and if you close the window, the noise from outside is almost completely eliminated.||Perhaps some could complain about the breakfast because options are very limited, however it was good enough for me and everything was warm and fresh, as it prepared only after your order.||At the price £40 per night (breakfast included) it was better than good deal – I will definitely stay...
