This hotel is dated and the rooms are unclean-avoid. more

As others have said, the President Hotel is a real throwback to the Communist era. From the outside it looks just like you would imagine a 1970s hotel to look like. Your hopes are raised by going into the lobby but these are soon dashed when you get to your room. Rooms are dark, really dated (but not in a... more

This is truly a terrible hotel mainly because the rooms are really dirty and have decor and furniture left over from the 70s.

As as told to us; "many people still have the mentality to do as little as possible for the... more

I was booked into this hotel as part of a visit I was making with the charity, Hope and Homes for Children, who are working to close the state run institutions in Ukraine and help place children into loving family homes. I knew, therefore, I'd be visiting places with very basic facilities in villages over the Kiev region and beyond,... more
