Hotel Bakkara

It's an old smelly boat.

Great location, great boat, amazing atmosphere

Lovely hotel. Friendly reception staff.There was a banquet on in the evening when I went but they brought me dinner in the room for no extra cost

Since it is a SHIP, that has been retrofitted to a hotel, sound deadening between rooms is very minimal. I actually had someone bang on my door while playing my computer Netflix at a reasonable volume. They banged on the door so hard, I thought it would shake off the hinges. I called the front desk for security and no one responded.

I liked how this hotel was right on the river and we had an amazing view of the city and water. The concert stage was also directly in view for us. The grounds were kept clean and well. The hotel room was tidy and spacious but what I did not like is how many spiders we found lurking around our room and even in the restaurant they were crawling around the bar and the staff seemed to just ignore the bugs. I understand it though being on the river

This was our last hotel on our 9 day break to Kiev, we booked this hotel due to its location on the river, and it didn’t disappoint. The rooms are lovely, reception staff great. My only complaint was don’t go down to breakfast late if you are hungry, we arrived at 9.30am to find very little left and when we asked the restaurant staff for more they just ignored us, the coffee machine is also very slow, so in our opinion it’s was definitely not worth the cost. We would return to the hotel if we ever visited Kiev again, and hopefully the breakfast will be improved.

I had an issue caused by expedia not the property but the expedia did nothing

What an amazing week stay. The staff kind and happy to help with any question's and tips. The hotel clean and comfortable and relaxing. Would recommend to anybody visiting kiev.

Thiabhotel was a tremendous place to stay and the nightly price was worth evey penny. That being said, here is my list of the best features: 1. Hotel has amazing views if your room is on the river side of the boat, 2.the staff was always very courteous, informative and helpful, 3. The hotels location is very close to the Hidropark metro station and this made getting around town super easy. There were a few cons that Infeel are important to consider before booking here. First, there are a lot of bugs outside around the hotel. Since this is a boat hotel there are a lot of mosquitos. Next, if you travel to Kyev during the hot months, the river side rooms get heated by the afternoon sun and the AC units cannot keep up with the heat. This caused my room to quite uncomforable during the evening hours. Lastly, I recommemd you check out their concert schedule if you are going to be there for an extended period of time. The concerts can be loud ans the hotel gets rather congested. In three weeks I only had one issue and it was on the night of a concert.

The rooms in the Hotel Bakkara are spacious, comfortable, clean and have incredible views. The balcony is excellent for enjoying a complimentary morning coffee and the in-house food is cooked to perfection. The hotel is in a great location for either relaxing or travelling to different areas of the beautiful Kyiv.
