Kolos Hotel Obolon

I had a very warm welcome to the hotel and although the staff members did not speak English everything was arranged for me including giving me coupons for breakfast and a wifi code and were able to explain where everything was located. I had problems with the key when accessing the room so the staff members arranged for me to move to another room and this was arranged very quickly and without any fuss. The new room was bright and fairly spacious, the facilities in the room were excellent for the price paid including a comfortable bed with plump pillows and TV with a good range of domestic channels, also there was a good amount of storage space. The radiators in the room were not powerful enough to cope with the freezing temperatures so a portable heater was brought in for me without me having to ask. The bathroom was fine but the water was only ever luke warm but it was manageable. Breakfast was included which was very good and I was given the option of Ukrainian or English breakfast, I chose the Ukrainian breakfast which was filling and came with a side portion of bread, coffee was extra at 20 UAH, I was also given a complimentary pot of English tea. I also had my evening meal in the Georgian restaurant where a menu was available in English, the food was absolutely delicious and plentiful. The hotel is a five minute walk to the nearest tram stop for trams 12 and 19 to Kontraktova Ploshcha, the journey takes 25 minutes and costs 8 UAH, tickets can be bought from the driver. Although the hotel is a fair way from the city the staff members went above and beyond to make my stay at the hotel as pleasant as possible so the location became a minor inconvenience. I want to stay again because of the excellent experience I had.
