Very nice hostel at a central and safe location. Facilities were in great shape, although the lack of a common room was a little annoying, because everyone hung out at the dorm and so there wasn't a chance to get some good sleep. The staff was, partly, good - one girl seemed pretty gung-ho and caring about everyone, the other one was almost downright rude when I asked her to call me a taxi at 8.45 in the morning. In total she didn't seem to care much about the hostel. Everything else was fine.

A small friendly hostel in an excellent location. Great value in a city where hotel accommodation is very expensive.

The place to be in Kiev. The best hostel I have ever found. You feel like at home sharing the appartment with everyone. The atmosphere is so good that you will miss it when you leave. Besides, the hostel is very well located for visiting and going out. I would definitely go there when I come back to Kiev.

The Magic Bus is a small and personal place. the athmosphere there is great, you imedeatly feel like being part of the magic bus family. By the small number of guests you get easyly in touch with other guests and the Bus-team is always there to help you out with your problems. Important : the Magic Bus staff speaks english! the facilities are kept simple, but you have all you need. i fell in love with the bus! thumbs up for making up such a great place in the center of Kiew!

Magic Bus is a small hostel located about 20 min walk from the train station and is quite easy to find. Staff are super friendly and very helpful and the hostel is located within an easy walk of the town centre. There are some good bars in the area, and a Poozata Hata (excellent cheap Ukranian canteen food) just 5 mins away which we frequented for breakast. There is only 1 shower but the hostel is quite small, only problem was the water wasn't always hot so you had to get in first!! Great staff!
