Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Facilities rated low — The Facilities category scores just 5.4, the lowest of all rating categories. This suggests the on-site facilities (beyond the restaurant and basic amenities) may be limited or not up to the same standard as the rooms and service.
- Check-in window ends at midnight — Check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:59. If you arrive after midnight, you'll need to coordinate with the 24-hour reception, but the standard check-in window is limited.
- Small and cosy, not a large hotel — One guest noted this is a 'very small and cosy hotel.' If you prefer a large property with extensive facilities, this may not suit you.

8.5Verified guest“I had a wonderful stay in the historic Podil district. The location was very convenient, with Kontraktova Square and the metro nearby. The hotel had a charming traditional European feel. The receptionist Yaroslava and the rest of the staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and there was a lovely courtyard to relax in. The on-site restaurant served delicious food, and you could eat in the beautiful courtyard. Honestly, there wasn't a single thing to complain about.”

8.5Verified guest“I usually stay at the Riviera, but this time they only had DeLux rooms for 250 euros a night, so I picked this hotel instead at 170 dollars a night. It's nice, new, small, and cosy, with a very good location.”
