Solid Stay for the price
Overall I was pleasantly surprised with this hotel I would echo the comments of other travelers regarding requesting a room at the back of the hotel as the street-facing rooms are quite noisy.
Bathroom is large clean and had outstanding water pressure
other than that the rooms are clean, beds comfortable, and staff helpful. My neighbors were making some "interesting" noises at a deafening volume throughout the night so I had to switch rooms at 2 am. Less than ideal but the staff handled this quite professionally and with a degree of humor and relatability that I appreciated.
The neighborhood is lively and well connected by public transport. Lots of authentic local restaurants and bars. Overall a great starting point for exploring Kiev.
At 60USD a night I would return.

Nice and noisy
Excellent location, very friendly staff, nice breakfast, very reasonnable price.
The only problem here would be the noise: in the rooms facing the street you will experience the daily loud and heavy trembling of the tram (from 5 AM!!) and in the yard rooms you could hear the permanent buzzing sound of the AC system (but this should depend on the location of the room - so check first!).

Comfortable and convenient
We arrived in the middle of the night and were convinced the taxi driver had made a mistake when he pulled up to this wall of graffitti in a dark rather quiet street, apart from occasional rumbling trams. The street entrance was deceivingly low key, but once inside we were greeted at reception. We were advised of a daily "tax" supplement which was about £1 I think so we dutifully paid for that day. Location was great. Breakfast had plenty of choice and staff were helpful. Our shower plumbing was precarious...every time you reached the desired water temperature there was a banging shaking of the pipes and you hoped pipes would sustain 3 minutes of power. We easily walked to shops,restaurants, St Andrews walk and up to St Andrews church. We were fascinated by the market stalls along the way with military items, cameras , currency from all over the world, ghetto items, cameras etc. We were told the local trams were for local residents taking them to the suburbs. We used the underground system which was easy enough and 3 mins walk from the hotel.

Great place to start exploring Kiev
The wife and I stayed for one night in this lovely hotel in the Podil district of Kiev, which is perfect location to start walking and discovering the main sightseeing spots of the city, such as the church of Saint Andrew or Santa Sophia's cathedral. It's a safe location, the staff is very friendly and useful and there's plenty of places to eat in the surroundings. Breakfast a la carte, ais also very good.

Well-located in the historic Podil district
I stayed here for four nights in May and I was really pleased with my choice.
The hotel is excellently located in the historic Podil district and is very well served by public transport. I arrived at Boryspil airport and took the airport express [40mins, £2.50] to Kyiv-Pasazhyrskyi station. From there I transferred to the metro [Vokzalna], travelled three stops to Khreshchatyk/Maidan Nezalezhnosti [Line 2] and then two more stops to Kontraktova Ploshcha [25p] which is a two minute walk from the hotel. Kontraktova Ploscha is a transport interchange and during my trip I was able to get to all the main sights by public transport for only 25p per journey.
The hotel itself is in a beautifully restored late-nineteenth century building. The room was well-appointed, clean and tidy. The restaurant served a decent breakfast each morning. I had a room at the front of the hotel which I liked but some people may be disturbed by the sound of trams rattling past early in the morning and late at night. It didn’t bother me and, if it would bother you, I’d suggest you just ask for a room at the back.
There are numerous bars and restaurants nearby [including the superb Kanapa] and the hotel is a five minute walk from the bottom of the historic Andriivs’kyi Descent. There is also a supermarket on the far side of Kontraktova Ploshcha.
I would definitely stay here again if I visit Kyiv.
