This is an old building, but has been updated. I booked the least expensive room offered, just to see what the hotel was like and I was pleasantly surprised with both the size of the room (huge room!) and the quality of the furnishings, this hotel offers quality similar to, or better than some of the best 4 and 5 star hotels that I have been in, for a price that is very affordable. The hotel is in the city center, on a major street, with both bus and tram stops across the street from the hotel, so travel within the city is very easy. The area around the hotel is also very walkable and several landmarks (Opera, Castle) are within walking distance. Both the Train and Bus stations are together and can be accessed with the Tram (# 6 Tram goes to both for 20 UAH, USD ~$ 0.50). There are also several good restaurants within walking distance. If there are any "drawbacks" with this hotel, they would be that since this is an old hotel there is no elevator and also no handicap access, so if you are mobility restricted this is not the hotel for you, as there is no way to access the upper floors except with the stairs. The only other comment that I would make is that most of the hotel staff do not speak English, they speak Ukrainian, but I had no problem communicating with them in Russian.
