We really enjoyed our stay in this hostel. It\'s located very close to the main square and has an AC in the room. The staff was very friendly and even presented us with some sweets:)

The staff were either not there or dismissive (with the exception of one) and the other guests were disgusting (not the hostel's fault, I know).

The location is perfect - walk down the stairs and you are in the independace square. The staff was helpful and quite nice (we spoke Russian, so not sure whether they know English). The shower slowly turns into a swimming pool in which you never wanted to swim at the first place. The room was tiny and suffocating, but ask for the airconditioner remote - it becomes allright

The location was great, very near subway and bus stops . The beds were comfortable and they provide lockers . There is a computer available for use with internet, for those not carrying a laptop (they have free wireless). I was travelling on my own and I met many other people . The hostel give the feeling that you are hanging with a group of friends!

I stayed there for 3 nights (and my friends 4 nights, the reservation was for 5 nights, but we stayed one night in another town). Location is good. House stairways were stinky. Because of security reasons, the hostel should have a proper outdoor lock and not just a simple door code. On Fri-Sat night our neighboring room had young misbehaving guests, who were very noisy until at least 3 a.m., so I could not sleep.

The staff were very helpful and friendly. Next time I come to Kiev I'll certainly check to see if this hostel is available.

The location is perfect. A bit bad that there was no kitchen, but the free tea&coffee and cheap eating places nearby saved it. The staff was friendly, even though not always around when needed for something. I had to change room for the second night due to some big group and there wasn't lockers in that other room. The showers were okay, even though a bit small. A good value for money. Not much athmosphere, or there weren't so many other people. The common room was just the lobby.
