Great location! Try to get an upper floor with a front (Maidan plaza) facing balcony. Breakfast is good. Several Kyiv Metro stops are nearby and lots of restaurants and bars within walking distance. There's a NOVUS supermarket on the bottom floor of the GLOBUS mall that is right in front of the hotel, where you can buy snacks, water, beer, etc. for your room or for day trips to Chernobyl, etc. Great Soviet-era iconic hotel right in the heart of Kyiv. Recommended!
