My stay at the hotel was an excellent experience overall. The rooms were very spacious and confirmed to face Maiden Square, although I found them not very clean, especially the carpet. The service, on the other hand, exceeded my expectations with extremely friendly staff who even upgraded me to a suite overlooking the square, which was absolutely fantastic. The location was more than perfect, being near to Maydan Square and various other attractions. However, I did encounter some issues with the lack of power outlets in the rooms, which was disappointing. The dining experience was great, offering a lot of fresh seasonal fruits, although the waffles served were below expectations.

The hotel has a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms offer a glimpse back in time with a Soviet-era style, featuring crystal chandeliers and a view of the Maidan Khrechiatik. However, my experience included an old clogged sink, dirty towels, and a vintage TV that wasn't functional. The outside area or bar of the hotel seemed inviting.

I stayed at this hotel in what must be the best location in Ukraine. The rooms, while old, are quite cozy and clean, but they could still be better. The service was always helpful, and I even got an upgrade to a suite overlooking the square which was absolutely fantastic.

I was pleasantly surprised by the rooms; they looked far better in person than in the pictures. While they were basic, I found mine a bit smaller than expected, but the view overlooking the side of Independence Square made up for it. The service demanded pre-payment on rooms and required immediate cash payment for cafe or restaurant goods. Nonetheless, the staff was very friendly, and the breakfasts were generous, making my stay enjoyable. The location was full of energy in the evening hours, making it a great place to be. However, the intermittent internet service was a small inconvenience. The dining options were plentiful, but the food quality could have been better.
