Premier Palace - Kiev, Ukraine 

Great place to stay in Kyiv According to our travel advisor at the Chamber of Commerce this was the best hotel in Kiev, lacking that Soviet-style decoration and claustrophobic atmosphere that seems to prevail everywhere else regardless of stars attached. I do not know if that bit is 100% truth because I have not stayed on those other dark and communist-deco places what I know is this hotel is a real 5 star. Nice breakfast, nice rooms, good location, excellent fitness center... worth the money you are paying for. I am not very much for the casino and the 8th floor “cabaret” which I think give a kind of dodgy eastern mafia-style to the place but I guess that is part of the landscape and probably some of the hotels guests spend loose change and time on those lubricous places

This is my 3rd stay at the hotel and I must say this is the best hotel in Eastern Europe and especially in former USSR countries. The service is impeccable, the accommodations are great and well maintained ! The staff is friendly and helpful. I even had a chance to talk to top management and they were very accommodating ! If you stay here, there will be no surprises ! You don’t need anything else, the restaurants the spa, the casino ! Everything in one place . I am a professional traveler who spends 2 months or more in hotels and this is a perfect place for vacation or business! Cant wait to go back!
