The beautiful and very ancient capital of Ukraine has always welcomed guests, but could not foresee a sharp increase in the flow of guests from abroad, eager to see its temples, monuments and sights. That is why there is a relative shortage of hotels and hotels in the city today. Below we will try to analyze how to organize accommodation in Kiev, having considered the various options offered by the state and private entrepreneurs of the city.
Accommodation in Kiev - nuances
Many tour operators point out that the hotel row in Kiev, unfortunately, leaves much to be desired. On the one hand, many hotels from the Soviet era have survived, not all of them are in good condition, many require major repairs, a complete renovation of the material and technical base, and improvement of infrastructure.
On the other hand, thanks to the general bias towards Western Europe and, in general, the West, representatives of the famous hotel chains of the planet appeared in Kiev, the first in the city were the Hyatt and Premier Palace hotels. Unfortunately, while they dictate their prices to guests, this means that the cost of rooms in Kiev hotels is more expensive than in similar places of residence abroad. The following hotels in Kiev belong to the middle price category: "Lybid" (translated as "Swan"); "Ibis"; City Park, which has a beautiful definition, is a boutique hotel.
"Lybid" was built in the 1970s, but completely reconstructed, today it is called one of the most interesting hotels in Kiev, which is ready to offer accommodation in stylish and original interiors. It is located in the historical center of the Ukrainian capital, therefore it is within walking distance from local beauties and monuments. The hotel "Ibis" is also located in the historical part, very close to it are the famous St. Sophia Cathedral, as well as the pedestrian street Khreshchatyk and the Botanical Garden.
Apartments offer
Many guests of Kiev, having familiarized themselves with the price tags of local 4 * and 3 * hotels, try to find other ways of staying. The most comfortable housing is offered by private traders, in the city many apartments are rented, and for any time.
It is possible to get housing somewhere in the Khreshchatyk area, at a quite attractive price, with a few "clicks" of the computer mouse. Many of the rental agencies have switched to online booking, this method turned out to be much more profitable for both landlords and those who are looking for an apartment during their stay in Kiev.
In an effort to catch up with the leaders of the tourism business, Kiev is developing a chain of hotels, not only increasing the number, but also offering different options. Currently, there are several mini-hotels in the city, which are owned by private individuals. Such mini-hotels are located both in the city center and on the outskirts, allowing you to comfortably accommodate a large company, work collective or family.
It is interesting that some of these hotels cannot be distinguished from European interiors in style, others, on the contrary, decorate rooms in a folk style, in restaurants or bars they offer dishes of Ukrainian cuisine. Such places are popular with those guests who come for the Ukrainian flavor.
There are also hostels appearing in the capital of Ukraine, democratic in price, simple in terms of conveniences type of hotel. Pupils and students, unassuming youth usually stay in such places. You can find hostels both in the heart of Kiev, not far from Khreshchatyk, and at some distance from cultural monuments and attractions, which affects, first of all, the cost per night.
