Hotel at Borispol

[Jski]

What's the name of that Hotel at Borispol? Anyone ever stay there? I have a 9am flight on the 14th and will be getting back to Kiev late on the 13th and was thinking that it would work to get a few hours rest and be right there for my flight.

Jski,

I stayed in Boryspil (Ukr. spelling) Hotel back in 2001 on my first visit there before I went back to AUS. We booked 2 separate rooms (for my now wife, son and MIL), then it cost about 120 Grv all together.
The cost was very reasonable and the hotel was actually quite a pleasant surprise - clean and cosy rooms, hot water (seems like something normal but it is not, not then at least..). On TV there were some euro channels and I did appreciate that too.

I pasted a link below where you can check out all the information for youself. Be aware that if you book a room beforehand the cost of the room is 50% cheaper.
There is also a nice bar where you can get some tasty food as well.

We stayed only one night then and I really can't recall any problem (however, it always pays off if you have a local with you to negotiate with the staff. My MIL was instrumental in that matter :-). Even though I speak Russian quite well, I was still a foreigner with a foreign passport.)

Good luck

Mick

Thanks.  I'll book it today so it's one less thing to worry about.  I'll get back from Simferopol around 9pm so I only need a place until my flight at 9am the next day.  Hot water is a bonus :-)

The hotel is called Hotel Borisipol (sp?)  Anyway it's named after the airport.  I stayed there overnight last Sept. to catch my connecting flight to Simferopol.  My room was small but there was hot water and the bed was okay.  I don't remember the staff being rude but they were not overly friendly.  It's a hop, skip, and a jump from the airport and they do have an airport shuttle.  The ride to the terminal takes about 1 or 2 minutes.  It's very convenient for catching flights.

My wife and I stayed there this summuer on our way back here from being home for a while. Had my 77yr old dad in tow.
IMO, the staff was some of the rudist I've ever encountered, even for Ukraine. The beds and furniture looked like they came from a children's camp. (hard to sleep in for an average size guy) The "free" breakfast was good and location was great,,, especially for a 5:00am flight.
