    Hostel is super small. It is situated in the basement, so there are no windows. Though the location is really nice (5min from railway station and about 15min to the city center). It is rather clean, bed sheets were new, prices are super cheap, girls on reception are very friendly and helpful.

    Clean, quiet, close to central railway station. Spacious kitchen (although without a stove). No emergency exit, no exit from the front without being buzzed out. Makes me worried for what would happen in the case of an emergency. Air circulation could be improved, especially at night. (The whole hostel is underground with no windows, so it relies entirely on forced air).

  • 5/5 Михаил �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We lived in this hostel for 2 nights, there is not much space, but enough to accommodate things and sleep. Each tenant is given a key to the locker, in principle, there is enough space. Also give 2 towels (large and small) if necessary, you can buy slippers (20 UAH per pair) and shampoo (5 UAH per bag). There are 3 showers in each of them there is a hairdryer, there is also plenty of space. Vobschem happy with this hostel. Next time I will also be settled here. (Original) Жили в этом хостеле 2 ночи, места немного, но достаточно чтобы разместить вещи и выспаться. Каждому жильцу выдают ключ от шкафчика, в принципе места хватает. Также выдают 2 полотенца (большое и маленькое) при необходимости можно докупить тапочки (20 грн за пару) и шампунь (5 грн за пакетик). Душевых есть 3 в каждой из них есть фен, места также предостаточно. Вобщем доволен этим хостелом. В следующий раз также буду заселяться здесь.

  • 4/5 Kseniya M. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) For its price, the hostel is good. Three showers, separate without toilet, which is convenient. There is a hairdryer in the shower, the shower is not very clean, for 4 out of 5. Several toilets, also not the cleanest, for 4k. The kitchen is empty, only dishes and a kettle that I managed to notice. At the settlement, they gave out two towels, shabby, but white and clean. The bedding is white, clean. Spent the night in an 8-bed room for women, each bed has one outlet and its own lamp, very convenient. Each in the locker is tall and long, but very narrow, my small backpack could barely fit in there, people with suitcases can have difficulties. Good wifi. The accommodation is convenient, 10 minutes from the main railway station and bus station, 5 minutes from the Puzata hut (bistro), a supermarket and a 24-hour pharmacy are not far away. The hostel is located in the basement, because there are no windows and there may be problems with mobile communications. Laundry is paid separately, in October 2019 it is 50 UAH, there are only two washing machines, so you can get into the queue for washing. If necessary, I will choose this hostel again, I recommend. (Original) Для своей цены хостел хороший. Три душа, отдельные без туалета, что удобно. В душе фен, душ не очень чистый, на 4 из 5ти. Несколько туалетов, так же не самые чистые, на 4ку. На кухне пустота, только посуда и чайник, что успела заметить. При поселении выдали два полотенца, зашарпаные, но белые и чистые. Постельное белье белое, чистое. Ночевала в 8ми местном номере для женщин, у каждой кровати одна розетка и свой светильник, очень удобно. Каждому по шкафчику, он высокий и длинный, но совсем узкий, туда еле поместился мой небольшой рюкзак, у людей с чемоданами могут быть сложности. Хороший вай-фай. Размещение удобное, 10 мин от главного жд вокзала и автостанции, минут в 5ти от Пузатой хаты (бистро), сравнительно не далеко супермаркет и круглосуточная аптека. Хостел находится в полуподвальном помещении, потому окон нет и могут быть проблемы с мобильной связью. Прачечная оплачивается отдельно, на октябрь 2019 г это 50 грн, стиральные машины только две, потому можно попасть в очередь на стирку. При необходимости я выберу этот хостел еще раз, рекомендую.

  • 5/5 Анастасия �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Convenient accommodation - close to the train station. The bed and towels are clean, the room is well tidy. At the reception a nice polite guy. The toilets have everything you need. Of the minuses - poor insulation and the kitchen has no stove. But in general, the normal option, if you need a short rest between the train and the plane, for example. (Original) Удобное размещение - недалеко от жд вокзала. Постель и полотенца чистые, в номере хорошо убрано. На ресепшене хороший вежливый парень. В туалетах есть всё, что надо. Из минусов - плохая шумоизоляция и на кухне нет плиты. А в целом нормальный вариант, если нужно недолго отдохнуть между поездом и самолётом, например.

  • 3/5 Tetiana T. 4 years ago on Google • 91 reviews
    Good to make a short brake before your flight, but not more. The room in the hostel was without any (even tiny) window and without air conditioning. In winter it was warm enough and I can't imagine how it's to live there in summer. Only one plus: the bed was without bedbugs, at least I didn't meet/feel/see any :)

  • 4/5 Iryna 5 years ago on Google
    OK to sleep for a night in emergency situation. Few minutes walk to the train station, easy to find. No shops of coffee places nearby after 10pm. Beds in the dorm room are very close to each other. My bed was 5 cm away from the next bed, and no proper wall between them, I felt uncomfortable. Only 1 toilet and 2 showers for the whole place. Showers are dry hot and smelly. Slippery steps to the entrance and no support to those who have suitcases.

    Second time here. Everything is great so far. They give you 2 towels. Beds have sheets on, you don't have to put them yourself. It's clean and really great location. Especially if you need to get to the train station quickly

  • 4/5 Abhilash R. 2 years ago on Google • 38 reviews
    Pros: 1)The place was cleaner and peaceful than What I expected. 2)Location is also great since it's near to railway station. 3)Staffs are friendly. Cons: 1)No windows,rooms are superb dark and only comfortable for sleeping,don't expect to stay at day time. 2)Price is bit high,bcz there are hostels with better facilities at equal or lesser prices. 3)Toilets can bit cleaner.

  • 5/5 Manny M. 2 years ago on Google • 35 reviews
    It’s great for the price. The beds are decent and the rooms are surprisingly spacious. The showers heat quickly and there’s a kitchen. The WiFi is the fastest I’ve seen in Ukraine so far. The best thing about this hostel is the location: five minute walk from the train station, mall, good restaurants, currency exchange, and taxis. It’s also directly across the street from the Ministry of Defense. If this hostel can improve anything: neither the staff nor management speak any English, so communication is difficult, but you’re still able to get around.

  • 2/5 Майя M. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Not far from the station, in the basement, a very small room, a shared bathroom without hot water! One pleased, quietly, without noisy neighbors))) (Original) Не далеко от вокзала, в подвале, очень маленькая комнатка, санузел общий без горячей воды! Одно порадовало- тихо, без шумных соседей)))

    (Translated by Google) Great service, extremely clean, staff very friendly! Has been to many hostels, but VShokoladi always impresses with cleanliness and kindness ☺️ (Original) Чудовий сервіс , надзвичайно чисто , персонал дуже привітний !

  • 1/5 Ирина �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It’s gloomy gloom. The tiled floors, the room is not much bigger than the bed, the shower head and the toilet .... Incredible cholina. It looks more like a cheap brothel room ... sorry .... but we didn’t dare to stay with our family after the inspection. .. Photos on advertising are much more spectacular than the place itself, but they don’t correspond to reality at all. Plus, very nice staff. Minus, everything else. (Original) Это мрак мрачный.Выложеные плиткой полы,комната не на много больше кровати,лейка душа и унитаз....Холодина неимоверная.Брльше похоже на номер дешёвого барделя... извините....но с семьёй мы после осмотра не решились остаться... Фотографии на рекламе намного более эффектные,чем само место,но действительности не соответствуют вообще.Плюс-очень милый персонал.Минус, всё остальное.

  • 5/5 Українець �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) generally a good hostel. Book a double bed room. Clean, friendly staff. Some noisy neighbors were (snoring at night). Because the aprons are drywall, it was good to hear them. But this is what they say, how they will carry you! overall i liked it. I rate 5 stars! (Original) загалом непоганий хостел. Замовляв номер з двоспальним ліжком. Чисто, привітний персонал. Трохи шумні сусіди були (хропіли вночі). Оскільки перестінки гіпсокартонні, то чути їх було добре. Але це, як то кажуть, як повезе! загалом мені сподобалося. Ставлю 5 зірочок!

  • 5/5 Shahab U. 2 years ago on Google
    Usually when I come to Kiev, I stay at this hostel at least for a while. Whenever I stayed there, it was a very good experience. The staff has always been nice and helpful, whenever I needed anything. I also met many nice and fun guests in the hostel, especially Ukrainian travellers.

  • 5/5 CallousRecluse 4 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Kay R. 4 years ago on Google • 15 reviews
    I really enjoyed my experience. They are a laid back, quiet, and flexible facility. The staff speaks English. I was in the all girl’s room and it met every basic need. The beds *and pillows* were comfortable!! I loved the storage space provided (pictured). It was more than enough. The showers were hot and stayed hot, and the bathrooms were fairly clean. The location of the hostel is also good. It’s not far from the Vokzal and right outside id public transportation. I was very pleased with my experience.

  • 5/5 Lilia K. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 dhwani s. 6 years ago on Google
    A great place to live in. It is quiet and peaceful. Right near train station. Free WiFi and can use any product from kitchen like tea anytime. Good shower place and washroom. And comfortable beds. And lockers for luggage.

  • 5/5 Natalia G. 6 years ago on Google
    The hostel has got a perfect location - just 5 mins from the central train station, shopping center and Puzata Chata, where you can have an amazing lunch for just a few euros. Minuses? It was far too hot and the smell was strange - perhaps because the hostel is in the basement. Also, the guy at the reception did nit let us wait 0,5 h for our train after we have checked out. But they allowed us to store our luggage for a few hours, which was very nice. All in all, a decent place in a great location for little money.

    (Translated by Google) Hostel as a hostel, 4 points by Ukrainian standards. The main advantage is that it is close to the train station. (Original) Хостел как хостел, на 4 балла по украинским меркам. Главное преимущество что близко к вокзалу.

  • 4/5 Сергей �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very close to the railway station (5 minutes on foot), service / price-labor ratio to complain about, everything is clean, spacious kitchen. There is one feature, but this is definitely not a minus, the entire hostel is in the basement, there are no windows and a balcony - to know who cares. (Original) Очень близко к ж/д вокзалу (5 минут пешком), соотношение сервис/цена - трудео придраться, все чистенько, просторная кухня. Есть одна особеность, но это точно не минус, весь хостел в подвальном помещении, окон и балконо нет - что бы знать кому это важно.

  • 1/5 Надежда �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I chose the hostel because of its convenient location and the fact that the site indicated that it was a soundproofing room. Yes, I didn't hear the sound of planes, trains and cars, thank you. However, it was not a night, but a complete horror. If you need a company to go somewhere at night and search, you are here. She woke up in the middle of the night because people were talking very loudly in the kitchen. No comments from the administration to them no one was going to do. They just drank, talked and smoked there, despite the fact that it is a basement and there are no windows or extracts there. There were smokers in the rooms and all that smoke was all over the hostel. I had to call the reception. When they made a comment, the booze continued in one of the rooms. It was very noisy, occasionally people from the rooms were running down the corridor, fooling around, making their toilets in the toilets, and it was very audible in my soundproof room. The hostel was dirty except the dinghy. The kitchen has only two cups for the whole hostel. I do not recommend staying here for the night. There is a hotel nearby, it is better to go there. I only survived there until 5 in the morning, woke up the girl at the reception and went to drink tea at a McDonald's. If it were possible to rate with a minus, it would be just that. There is nothing to pay for money here, because someone stops here, you have to pay extra for the guests. (Original) Вибирала хостел через його зручне місцерозташування та те, що на сайті було зазначено, що це шумоізоляційний номер. Так, звуку літаків, потягів та автомобілів я не чула, дякую. Однак, це була не ніч, а суцільний жах. Якщо вам є необхідність компанією десь побухати вночі і пошуміти - вам саме сюди. Проснулася серед ночі через те, що в кухні люди дуже голосно розмовляли. Жодних зауважень з боку адміністраціі їм ніхто робити не збирався. Вони, просто, там випивали, спілкувалися та курили, не дивлячись на те, що це підвальне приміщення і ні вікна, ні витяжки там немає. У кімнатах щадуха і весь цей дим був по всьому хостелу. Прийшлося телефонувати на рецепцію. Коли їм зробили зауваження, п'янка продовжилася в одному з номерів. Було дуже шумно, меріодично люди з номерів бігали по коридору, дуркували, справляли в туалетах свої потреби і це все було дуже чути у моєму шумоізоляційному номері. В хостелі було все брудне окрім бізизни. В кухні лише дві чашки на весь хостел. Не раджу тут зупинятися на ніч. Поруч є готель, краще піти туди. Я витримала там лише до 5 ранку, розбудила дівчину на рецепції і пігла пити чай у макдональдсі. Якби можна було ставити оцінку з мінусом, вона була б саме така. Немає за що тут платити гроші, за те, що тут хтось зупиняється, потрібно доплачувати гостям.

  • 2/5 Tany F. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A dirty restroom, a mattress cover is covered in hair, it seems that someone combed it. Sleeping terribly, no soundproofing. You could constantly hear walking along the corridor, and besides, at one in the morning, someone arranged loud gatherings with music in the kitchen. Nobody reacted to requests to behave quietly, the staff did not care. Strongly do not recommend. (Original) Грязная уборная, наматрасник весь в волосах, такое впечатление что кто-то на него по расчесался. Спать ужасно, звукоизоляции нет. Постоянно было слышно хождения по коридору и к тому же в час ночи кто-то устроил громкие посидки с музыкой на кухне. На просьбы вести себя тихо никто не реагировал, персоналу все равно. Категорически не рекомендую.

    (Translated by Google) A good place. True, there were nuances when checking in. They told me on the phone that they would check in without problems if I arrived in advance. But in fact, I had to wait more than 2 hours, because the girls admins did not flirt with the traveling guys. (Original) Хорошее место. Правда были нюансы при заселении. По телефону мне сказали, что заселят без проблем, если я приеду заранее. Но по факту пришлось больше 2 часов ждать, потому что девушки админы не нафлиртовались с выезжающими парнями.
