You will find Turist Hotel in a neighbourhood full of precast concrete buildings built in the soviet era. It stands tall with 25 floors, about 7 kilometres away from the city centre on the east side of the Dnjepr river. A subway station, bus stops, shops, pubs and restaurants and a travel agent are in the immediate vicinity. Check-in went... More

The good: McDonalds & Irish bar w/decent food across the street, supermarket & metro 2 blocks away (downtown is 4 stops away on metro, 15 minutes - costs equivalent $ 0.25/ea way) The bad: bed size fit for a dog, as comfortable as laying on a bed of rocks, need microscope for the tiny tv, every channel (about 50) is...

Needing to stay just a single night in Kiev (actually, just a few hours as the train was so late from Kharkiv) , whilst waiting for a flight to Moscow, I was looking for somewhere cheap just to bed down for the night. Whilst this was only actually relatively cheap, given the cost of Kiev hotels, it fitted the bill.... More

This is a traditional hotel very close to the exhibition center and right next to the train station. trains go straight into the heart of downtown kiev. very basic breakfast served and anything extra asked for is chargeable including ketchup. staff is not very well versed with english so be ready for some communication issues. overall this place wins only...

Business trip - 3 months in Kiev. 1 week in the Tourist, trying to find a reasonable hotel in Kiev... Room: Stank like old cigarettes (colleagues also reported this). Not unclean... but not clean... BROWN. Very soviet. Noisy - from neighbouring rooms of ugly Ukranian men and their 'ladies of the evening', who take great pleasure in standing in the... More

Make sure you book a renovated room. Mine was fine, clean, 23rd floor, great views. Air con didn't work but on a -15oC night I wasn't cold. Bathroom ok. Breakfast was terrible. Location pretty good. Strange entrance to the side shared with another hotel, corridors are ropey with heavy security (good thing) and lady on corridor to collect and leave... More

This hotel is old (wich should not be a problem), not clean, the bathrooms are terrible! It look likes they forgot to clean it proparly for about 5 years. The breakfast........omelet. The bread is not fresh and you get the left overs from the other tables. We recommend the MIR Hotel: only a little bit more expensive, but you'll have... More

House dark and eerie. No corner shop. The gardener spent one whole day at the property in the garden with his own dog, preventing our dog and ourselves from being in the garden. We spent half a day cleaning ants out of the property. Had phone call from the owner on our return home accusing us of letting our dog... More

Hotel is relatively well placed for Kiev centre and for Lavera but not for the main railway station (for trains and airport bus). I stayed there twice over two weeks, reception staff much more helpful on second night. Some rooms have aircon, some don't - needed it mid-August but not at end of August. Some bathrooms have been renovated with... More
