“Post-soviet Hotel masquerading as a modern alternative...”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

Stayed one night recently at this hotel in the Podol district of Kiev on business. I didn't choose it - was close to business.

So it's rack rate is €140 per night. This is a "standard" room with a bed barely the size of 1.5 single beds. Bathroom looks like something you would install at home rather than a hotel bathroom. Plastic fittings everywhere.

Inside the bathroom cabinet, there are things to buy like toothbrushes, razors and panty liners!

Breakfast is served in the ground floor restaurant called "shooters". Plentiful but not varied.Free wifi.

Fruit bowl (2 apples and oranges) in room. Wall mounted flat screen TV.

So of course the real challenge with this hotel is the service. Friendly women at reception but surly porters. At check out they still have the soviet practice of calling the cleaning lady to see if you stole anything from the minibar!

All in all, overpriced, lost in time and to be avoided by the frequent traveller!

“almost like coming home”

I have stayed twice more at the Impressa where, good service, politeness,excellent and willing service, good amenities in the rooms, and always the freshest of fruits to enjoy, with a welcome chocolate on the bed as you arrive am derive to make your stay very special indeed.
Rooms are all unique none are the same, comfortable beds plenty of space, is the standard.I have noticed that the wi fi only works on floor you are on so this does add extra security with an ultra fast wi-fi, to boot excuse the pun.
I like the rooms I have stayed in and even if you are on the front it its easy to sleep as the road outside did not disturb me at all.
I think of this great hotel which has only 18 rooms, as my home in Kiev now, so much so that when i had a problem with my car, and had to leave it there whilst i went to London, it had a fuel problem, they got fuel for my car and kept it there for 12 days and even arranged a car from the airport for me to get back at a very reasonable charge for the taxi, and keeping the car for me, this is what i mean about friendly and welcome home service its unique to find it in this way without it being at all intrusive. There is of course the Shooters 24/7 restaurant as part of the hotel with a terrific breakfast choice, to start your day the best way. Now they have all weather dining on the sidewalk café behind glass so that you can still see all the action on this beautiful street, great for people watching,, it has radiators and under-floor heating and even blankets if you should feel chilly.
its the best of all worlds a great hotel with a great eatery as part of the hotel. Some one said in a review that they didn't understand the kilts and Scottish theme well, its because this theme represents the Scottish people that own Shooters and Shooters entertainment centre in a different part ot town, but wow doesn't it look attractive on the pretty girls. I will be back again in a week or so , thanks Impressa for my Kiev home coming

“Impressive”

A very conveniently sitauted small business hotel. The room was clean and comfortable, the staff friendly and very helpful. The restaurant was good too although the choice of music and the tartan theme was puzzling. I have already recommnded the hotel to colleagues

Room Tip: Try to get a room that doesn't face the street.

“A safe haven for a solo traveller”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 October 2011
3
people found this review helpful

The Impressa promotes itself as a business hotel with just 18 bedrooms in a former merchant house with all mod cons including 300 channels on your TV (if you can find them), wi fi, mini bar etc. It wasn't quite what I expected, being situated right on the main street in Podil with its neon lit bars and fast food restaurants.The reception staff were welcoming and all spoke good English which is a rarity in Kiev, it seems. My little room at the back of the hotel was quiet and well-appointed with an excellent bathroom. However, it was expensive for what it was. My single room supplement for a three night stay totalled £177 which I thought was iniquitous.

Room Tip: Choose a room at the back of the hotel as those fronting onto the main street could be noisy.
