Kyiv Hotels

General

The Hotel Rus is a well-established hotel with decent prices and amiable atmosphere. Management and even ownership of this hotel changed three or four times in last few years, so the style is changing a little, yet the general impression is good. I myself (Alex Radich) was working in this hotel from 1998 to 2003, and saw a lot of good and bad situations, yet I can definitely recommend it for visitors with limited budget. The location is great, and it is located on a hill commanding a great panoramic view, and there are plenty of amenities, restaurants, etc. inside. To tell you the truth, my wedding was held in the Conference Hall of this hotel in 2000.

Amenities And Rooms

Rooms are small, about 17 sq.m, and as of last year, TV sets were primitive, yet the place is clean and well kept, and personnel is trained and polite, so for business people can be a good choice.

Services

Business center on the first floor, a whole bunch of taxi drivers in front, and three restaurants plus a couple of bars.

Location

The location is very central, with about 15 minutes walking to the main street. It is near Olympic stadium, so the hotel was always populated by football fans whenever Dynamo Kiev or national team played international games, and Eurovision 2005 was held next door in Palace of Sports. Maybe you will like the fact that Kiev Synagogue is only one block away.

Rates

The rates are a little above 100 USD per night per single. There a few suites, and some premium rooms, too.

Miscellaneous

Many celebrities stayed in this hotel, as it was one of the most official places for different meetings in Soviet Union, so even US Secretary Ms Albright lived in one of its rooms, and Scorpions famous rock musicians, I saw them with my own eyes.

The staff is friendly, and rooms are decently priced and comfortably furnished. The place is really a quiet one despite its very central location.

This boutique hotel has only five rooms, so do not count on it for large delegations, and book in advance as it is almost always full when you try to book it last minute. Every room is air-conditioned and spacy, has Internet access and a lot of toiletries. Large bright bathrooms are yet another mark of this hotel.
