This hotel is in the style of Soviet futurism in the eighties. It is colloquially known as The Grenade. While the architecture may (or in our case: may not) appeal to you, the reason not to stay here is the noise from the traffic and people outside. The hotel is located on a main access road, which remains busy into... More

First of all I should notice great location, reasonable price (for Kiev) and friendly stuff. I have got room for ~70 EUR (breakfast not included) on first floor. It has no nice view wasn't equipped so good like rooms on official photos but clean. Returned to the hotel about midnight and noticed that "Night bar" on the second floor is... More

I visited this advertised as a 4-star-hotel in the summer of 2011, because of its very central and convenient location and the reasonably priced for Kiev rooms. Salute is not very big hotel (with around 90 rooms) and for sure not new - it was built in 1984 and its strange architecture style is reflecting the ugly Soviet futurism from... More

Watch out for the expensive taxis waiting outside! Make shure they call you a cab from the reception!

I found the Salute Hotel to be a very good value. We stayed there 5 days. We came from another hotel farther out wanting to get closer into the city. Our main consideration was location and price. I thought the room rate was very fair. I rented 2 rooms. 1 for my friend and one for me. They were on... More

A great location next to Pechersk monastery, the prestigious Pechersk neighborhood with many nice places to shop and dine. Hotel it self has great views from at least 50% of the rooms, all have balconies. A great exeample of modernist Soviet architecture, actually plannes as a high rise building but then reduced to a mere seven levels. Do not go... More

This is a 1980s Soviet built hotel which has been recently refurbished. Rooms are plain but clean and comfortable with TV, mini bar and telephone linking you to the city. Calls were cheap for a hotel of this size. There are excellent view over the city. Breakfast was your typical buffet style but with with a Ukrainian flavour consisting of... More

In terms of architecture and design the Salute is a true gem in Kiev. Its a 1980s built soviet-style piece of architecture which is a sign of the last defiant struggle before the breakdown of the soviet empire. And in contrary to many many other examples in eastern europe you'll find this hotel in almost unrefurbished condition. Of course the... More
