Premier Hotel Rus

Hi fellow travellers, just to let you know that Hotel Rus, a 3* hotel, felt like a 4* and it was a welcome relief to come back to after a hard day's photography! I started my day with a fantastic shower that was like a HydroTherapy session - it was so hard, it felt rather like an Indian Head Massage - that got me off to a good start! I followed that with a hearty breakfast from their buffet selection, all of which were really well cooked and delicious with some great salads too. Of course, there's cereals too, with milk, Kefir or plain/strawberry yoghurt. Pancakes, with fine honey or jams; toast, croissants, sweet pastry delight of lemon or chocolate and of course, hot coffee or tea - what a choice and what a delight to start the day that way. I then went out for a day of taking many pictures of street art and graffitti, which are my passion, returning quite late in the evening after walking 24,967 steps, which definately required a nice soak in a hot bath - all soaps and towels etc., provided of course, with grooming routine finished with an efficient hair dryer - very necessary with short hair that looks like a hedgehog if not tamed into place with hot air! WiFi is vital and the signal is strong and constant with no lag time during searches. The bed was comfortable - slept like a log. The staff are all amazing and welcoming, so if you need to come to the vibrant city of Kyiv, which I'd encourage for a holiday, then I'd recommend Hotel Rus and look forward to my return soon.

Overall the hotel is great and we were happy with our stay. Our only issue was the bed wasn’t a King bed as advertised in our Suite. Nothing changed even after informing the reception. That was the disappointment as we have our 1.5 year daughter with us and was smaller bed compared to what a King bed would have been.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Premier Hotel Rus in Kyiv, and it exceeded all of my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff was warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful — always ready with a smile and great local recommendations. The room was spotless, modern, and very comfortable, with a lovely view of the city. The location couldn’t be better. It’s just a short walk from some of Kyiv’s most iconic sights, including St. Sophia’s Cathedral and Maidan Nezalezhnosti. There are also plenty of great cafes, shops, and restaurants nearby, making it the perfect base for exploring the city. I’ll definitely be back.

Great service. check-in was very easy. breakfast at the restaurant was good. I even forgot my bag at the restaurant and the staff returned it to me right away. I was very, very happy and thankful!

Always a great place to stay especially for the price

Nothing to add or subtract

Good safe place to stay.

Conveniently located. Somewhat restricted in facilities due to the situation in Kyiv. The staff were very charming and helpful.
