This boat-hotel is novel all right - kitted out with fake pirates and unforgettable mounted-and-costumed fish heads. The carpet and furniture are way chintzy, which seems to add to the weird atmo…

If you've got to be right near the main square, the Ukraina is booked, and the Kozatsky is too lowbrow, this place will do in a pinch. Just stick to the standard rooms; the suites aren't worth th…

If you manage to find a room here (on the weekend or when a visiting band of politicians don't overtake the place), the economy rooms make this well located hotel an easy choice. Rooms range from…

The Natsionalny resides close to the parliament building and as such has a reputation for having important clientele. Although the architecture and lobby are quintessential USSR circa 1970, the r…

Although this high-rise hotel wears a tiara, it's surely no beauty queen, architecturally speaking. Still, it's often full to the brim during the week not just with visiting athletes, but also wi…

This busy Left Bank hotel pays for its rather remote location by having lower prices, but since it's immediately next to a metro stop, it's not inconvenient for visitors. Although the architectur…

If you're into grand Soviet atmosphere that's worn around the edges, and if you want the best seat in town for any future revolutions, orange or otherwise, Ukraina's the ticket. The fact that it …

This place is as drab as it gets, but BOOM: it's right on the main square, and it's fairly inexpensive. If you just need a crashpad on the maydan, the Kozatsky is all yours.

Over on the left bank, the Bratislava sets new standards of ugliness on the outside but on the inside it's actually decent value. It's a tale of two halves, with renovated air-con rooms on some f…
