For a business traveller like myself used to not so great hotels in Ukraine Aurora was a pleasant surprise. WiFi fast and reliable, clean, not worn out room, Western business channels on TV, courteous and attentive staff.
Aristocrat restaurant on the second floor is really a jevel. Service is really first class, food is delicious, vodka of high quality - and all of that at moderate price. Not cheap, but in my home Moscow I would have to pay 3-4 times more for a dinner like that. Best of all, the place is not crowded, so if one wishes to relax and enjoy good food, this is the place to go.
There is a Unicredit bank office on the street, so if you have a credit card issued by a European bank from that family you can withdraw cash without commission. Ride to airport is about 20 minutes and costs UAH 65 (around USD 8).
Overall, I strongly recommend the place.
