This place is amazing.. conveniently located in the heart of Kyiv, walking distance from Metro, McDonalds, Arena City, Pinchuk Arts Centre... friendly and courteous staff, and great value for money... I unhesitatingly recommend this place for both business and casual travelers...

Very good location - right in the city center, 5 minutes walk from Kreshchatik and from each of the three metro lines. Friendly and helpful staff, clean bathroom. Would recommend to everyone!

We really liked this hostel. Our double room was spacious & the bed (2 singles pushed together) was comfortable, There was free tea and coffee on tap. Hot showers, wifi, and a homely atmosphere, plus a lovely young English-speaking lady on reception, meant we had pleasant stay. Only drawback- they need a proper sign at the hostel entrance, rather than the current one drawn with a marker pen on a stone pillar. Superb position near centre of Kiev.

Spent two good nights at hostel. Location is very central but entrance tricky to find. Made to feel very welcome on arrival. Hostel quite small, but was clean, warm, enough showers, free wifi. No catering but several cafes/stores nearby. Small lockers available for free, ?how secure. Single rooms can be locked.

Kind staff, great location, close to the metro and shops in the main street. Grocery store across the street. Clean rooms. Great value for money. Avoid rooms no 6-8 since people sit outside your door near the micro wave oven chatting all night leaving little peace to sleep. Go for the rooms in the corridor to the right.

Great little hostel, 5 minutes walk from Kreshatik Street. I doubt you can get better value in Kiev :)
