Whether you are on your first trip to Kharkov or if you have been to the city many time, you may find yourself confused by the number of hotels and the information about them. Just stop messing around and stay here. It's the best hotel in Kharkov and pretty much has anything you need.

It's not perfect, but there are no 5-star Trip Advisor hotels in Kharkov. This is the best and it's very good.

Here's some more details. The rooms are fine. They are not up to the comfort standards of Western European or US boutique hotels, but they are perfectly fine and it's wont get better anywhere else.

The hotel's bar is open 24/7, which is great if you have jet-lag and you need a snack at 3AM. It's good too. Great selection and high quality fare.

The hotel has a gym. I was half expecting a couple of barbells and nothing more as the "gym", which is the case at many a hotel in Eastern Europe. Nope. It's pretty darn nice. There is a bike, treadmill, stair climber and even a TV to watch while you work out. There's also weights, water and towels. And I like to use a heart rate monitor. Their equipment is high-end and will work with your Polar chest-strap. Awesome.

The WiFi is better than anything else at any other hotel at which I have stayed. Other hotels may talk about Internet, but it's only in the lobby and you have to pay per kilobyte. Annoying and inconvenient. This hotel has WiFi dialed and it's excellent. It's high-speed, it's included in the room rate and they have a separate router on each floor, so you always have a good signal.

There are several computers available in the business center, but avoid those unless you have no choice. They are loaded with viruses. There is a printer and scanner that the staff will help you use.

The staff speak English and have a can-do attitude that was exceptionally helpful.

The breakfast was a huge buffet including eggs/omelets as you want them. Plentiful, excellent quality. Good espresso drinks.

The location is pretty good. In theory it could be more central, so you might be thinking "gee it looks like there are hotels closer to the action". That's a little true, but don't worry. It's really a close walk to the main square, restaurants and shops, as well as some music venues (Jazzter is excellent. Or see my other reviews for other places). I'm talking like 5-8 blocks. If you trade off for a closer hotel, you will suffer in every other respect, so just don't do it.

I've been to Kharkov perhaps 20-25 times. My last trip was the first time that I stayed here. I sincerely wish that I had discovered the hotel Aurora long ago, so stop messing around trying and book the place.

(Also they are part of a group of hotels called "Premier". I've stayed at a couple of the other ones, too, and they are also very good.)

I've been there for two nights

It was a sound like near the disco bar when I came out of elevator on my floor (room 402),
when I entered the room I understood what deep sound comes from my neigbours. The wall did vibration when you touch it. Receptionist promised to send security to fix this problem and it took them not less than 10 minutes to get there. Guests from that number maid sound lower but 10 minutes later it was still possible to hear their music in my room.
The wall sound protection is out of standards. TV volume is not limited anyhow - I could make nice discoteque as well.
Another funny problem was in the bathroom. Having quite a plenty of space there their architector decided to install closet in 20 cantemeters distance from basin (I will attach the photo)
Water temperature was unstable in the shower early in the morning, - I had to adjust the temperature continuously (looks like deffect of hot water pipe isolation).

WiFi was available but I could not connect my laptop in automatic mode, receptionist was not able to help as well, I decided not to escalate and use offline mode

Check out took 13 minutes when I was alone in reception area at 5 in the morning. Lucky we was not a group (could take more time :()

Although sleeping was very comfortable - nice airco and very good bed
Room is big and comfortable as well

In general hotel seems not bad but some problems described above does not advise me to stay there again

I was really surprised to find such hotel in Ukraine. Nice design, quite new furniture, standard doubles are not so large but cozy - with nice bathroom (bath tube) and all facilities you need. You can use free wi-fi or wire internet - it's your choice. Breakfasts are served in a french-style restaurant and are quite good. Personnel speak English and are very friendly. The hotel is really worth its 4*.

I just returned from quick trip to Kharkiv and I stayed in this charming hotel. My husband travelled with me and I have to say both of us were delighted with this lovely hotel. We do not speak Ukranian or Russian so it was lovely to have staff to speak to. Hotel is very trendy and all public areas as well as rooms are spotless. Breakfast was included with room and is served in lovely restaurant on second floor. The waitstaff are very friendly and accommodating. Downstairs in the bar/brassiere we had lunch most afternoons and there was great choices in the menu from Salmon to steak to chicken to pasta. Also guests of hotel get nice discount for lunch hours and smaller discount in evening which is a nice touch. Hotel is 5 mins away from main streets of downtown Kharkiv and there are lovely parks and zoo within walking distance. All in all I must say hotel was very trendy, clean and convenient in its location - just perfect!
