Kozatskiy — Hotel in Kyiv

I noticed some 3+ and even 4+ stars for this hotel. I guess some people have really low standard. To give an idea of my rating, Radisson Blue would be a 4.5+.

The hotel is amazingly located, right next to independence square. It's easy to walk to all the touristic areas from the hotel. I would give it a 4+ just for the location but the state of the rooms bring it down to a 2+.

The room was dated, with an old 13" tv. Personally this is not a problem, I actually enjoyed to the fact that the room had that 'welcome to the USSR cachet'. The main issue is the cleanliness of the room and bathroom.

The room itself had a very unpleasant smell, which could be attributed from the black mold all over the bath. There was a small fridge in the room and I recommend not opening the door. The smell inside was terrible.

Other than that, if you're looking for a relatively cheap hotel right in the city centre for a couple days, and if cleanliness is not that important to you, then this is a...

This place is perfectly reasonable. I agree with other comments that say the hotel is a little dated, it's design and some of its fixtures and fittings are but there is an element of charm to this.

We had a "Superior Double" room. It had everything we needed and was clean throughout. With the exception of 2 out of 3 bathroom bulbs everything worked fine.

A couple of little niggles were evident; for reasons I never figured, I wanted a shower upon arrival but the water was cold. The rest of the stay however it was nice and warm. The bigger issue was the duvet, which seemed too small for the bed, like a double duvet on a king bed (but it was a double bed). This meant the wife and I struggled to both get under it and keep warm. It was rather weird.

Otherwise, the staff were all friendly and charming. Most spoke some English and signs were printed in English too. The location is right in the centre of Kyiv so...

I can't think of a better hotel in Kiev, I visited 2021, sorry for the late review but I got pissed by the other people commenting. while browsing randomly. The location is the best location you could think of, you can get car parking and this is the Maydan, don't forget it.. downstairs there is Billa supermarket in the metro station, staff is super friendly and organized a trip to Chernobyl for the next day for my group...I really don't understand most of the people reviewing here complaining that it is old and soviet... in my view this is a way to experience old soviet times for free without paying for a museum...the door got broken and the service guy immediately repaired it! The room was huge and also included a bathtub . You can drink your wine with the best view of the Maydan uninterrupted and then go to bed.... If i could select 10 stars i would do it. The pic is shot right from my...
