Liked: It was everything, we needed for 1 night, we were lucky to stay alone in 10 bed dorm. The location is perferct. The place is nice, clean, & very small.

Disliked: The worst thing is that the flat dor is opened & it faces the rooms, there's normally nobody on reception, so anyone from the street can easily come in & take everything out. It doesn't let feel comfortable.

Liked: It was clean & comfortable, there was a wi-fi, everything you need to stay for a night or two. We stayed for one night only & were more than happy.

Disliked: They were surprised, when we arrived, the staff new nothing about our booking & there were no available places. But after a while they just put an extra bed to a private room for us (we booked dorm). I don't think the ladies, who stayed at that double room were happy to see us, but there was no choice. One more, we had no money in local currency & asked to pay for the room in $ or Eu, or to pay in the morning, but the lady on reception told that we must pay now in grivnas only. We faced it first time, though stayed in many hostels before. All the exchange offices were already closed, the one, which worked round the clock didn't accept our passports & we had to look for available ATM at night.

Liked: We didn't like the "hostel", which actually is just a converted apartment.

Disliked: They had overbooked the hostel and we had to stay in the staff room, and the poor receptionist girl had to move out for the night and stayed at a friends place. This room was tiny and absolutely inadequate. The next day we were moved to another room, which was slightly bigger. It was very loud at night (due to other inconsiderate guests). Safety was a concern, as the door to the apartment was wide open the entire time. This is not a hostel, it's an apartment converted to a hostel, but very cheaply and very poor. It also lacked cleanliness.
