Except location, nothing, but really nothing good to mention about this hotel. I have booked superior double room for single use, It's just like a bunch of Kiev hotels, has NOT been renovated since 80's. Do not believe website, pictures are fake (or photoshop). )))) Old, grose dump place. Just like Kreshatik hotel and Ukraina. Shame!!!! Pictures are coming....

We stayed at the hotel in October 2010. The hotel is situated right at the heart of Kiev in Independence Square! The location is only one good thing about the hotel. Our room was very very simply with old furniture, looks like Soviet Union room. The hotel needs badly repair!

We stayed in Kozatsky hotel for three nights in May 2011. The aim of our trip was a short city break, and we were looking for some reasonably-priced hotel with central location.

Kozatsky exceeded our expectations in sense of location – it’s just at the corner of impressive Independence Square and close to everything that is worth seeing in Kiev.

Hotel itself remembers the Soviet times. Interior of the hotel, maybe except for the restaurant where the breakfast is served, is in desparate need for renovation. Be prepared for old furniture, threadbare bedding and damp patches on the bathroom walls. But despite first impression, it’s not that dirty, it’s just old and worn out ;)

Hotel staff was friendly and helpful, and lady at the Reception Desk spoke very good english. We also found lots of helpful tourist information in hotel lobby (BTW, we recommend going for Free Walking Tours starting from the Independence Square). And benefits from the location made up for some inconvenience caused by the harsh conditions.

This hotel seemed dark and unpleasant at first - it screamed "Soviet" days - but it's actually a pretty nice place. The location is amazing - you can't get a better one. The rooms are decent, although there is no AC and it was pretty hot when we got there, so we were feeling it. The bathrooms are a bit outdated and especially the shower/water pressure is weak, but they were clean. Breakfast was nice - it was small, but as a vegetarian, I was still able to find more than enough to fill me up, which is significant in a country that eats a lot of meat. There were water coolers on most floors - a nice touch - the wifi in the lobby worked well. Overall, I would stay here again if I were going to Kiev.
