I travel to Kiev frequently on business, and this is where I stay. As far as hotel rates go in central Kiev, it's tough to beat. Service is always friendly and accommodating, which is very rare. Their "lux" rooms are all eclectically designed - one's a hunting lodge with a bearskin on the wall, one's got greek columns and statues.... More

I stayed in the Sonya apartment for 5 nights with my wife and teenage son. This modern apartment in old building had a bedroom, living room (with big fold out bed/couch), kitchen and foyer area. It was larger than expected.The website floor plan looks small, but it was plenty large. Kitchen had new large fridge, stove, breakfast table with all... More

I have stayed several times in this hotel. I was there last time in October 2008, but had to leave because their internet wifi was not in order. I really hope they have fixed it now because this is an incredible hotel nevertheless.

We stayed in Lolita. Positive... More

We got lucky! 4 adults and a kid stayed in "Sasha" room, for the last... More

I would love to write a positive review about this hotel. After trying to contact them twice by email to book a room, I gave up. Phone calls are iffy, because one is never sure if there is an English speaker at the other end. I would have stayed here because of the reviews on this site, and its location... More

We just returned from a wonderful stay at Hotel Sonya. The room, along with a round trip airport transfer was quick and easy to book directly from the hotel. We stayed in the "Lora" room, but upon our arrival discovered it now has a new name, the "Yoshiko". It was a Japan inspired room which was beautiful, spacey and comfortable.... More

Stayed in apartment Sasha / good value for money and wonderful breakfast delivered straight into the apartment. Sweet helpful service and great location. I will definitely return.

I was going to write this review last year after our trip to Kyiv in June, 2006, but did not think to do so because this property might not qualify as a true hotel in the minds of westerners. From the outside one gets the appearance of a "hotel", which changes the instant you walk through the door--it is a... More
