Staying there from February to July. I thought I'd get a cheaper/better located/more private accomodation but it is great here and I love it to much. The hostel people are the best, the guests mostly interesting and funny, the dog is the boss but she loves you after you give her treats. It is very clean, the cleaner comes every day and is very accurate and also very nice. They just started to serve food, coffee and tea. It is all great, homemade quality for good price and you can even learn how to do it yourself, for later when you leave and will be missing it. All issues that may come with just the cities daily challenges will be helped - whether it is no wifi (-> hotspot), getting a ride in the middle of the night (-> they'll get it for you) or finding the nicest restaurant where they still serve Tibbs although it's fasting season (eventually just here xD). I even invited my parents here and they had a very good time. It is the best place to make german parents to feel good about their daughter staying abroad.

Everything worked and staff were really helpful. Free airport shuttle and really strong wifi. There is no food (I think!) at the hotel but there are lots of really excellent restaurants within a 5 minute walk. If you want a cheap but nice hotel then I would highly recommend this.
EstherSolo traveller - Avg. price/night: UAH 3,727.428.0Scored 8.0Very goodRated very good· 1,090 reviewsThis is a really good hotel with a great location. The rooms definitely met my expectations- I would say even exceeded my expectations, relative to how much I paid for the place. The room was definitely my favorite part of the hotel. I loved that they provided iron boxes...Not used to that for budget hotels! The bed was comfortable Dare I say luxurious. Second to the room is just how accessible it is from the airport...About an 8 minute drive and you are at Bole International Airport. Loved the traditional coffee!
