If you see that Kiev hotels are overpriced, and you still need a decent place to live, apartments can be an excellent choice. For a hundred dollars a night you will get a large renovated place on a central street. You need to consider a few points to keep yourself from falling victim to many pitfalls.
Choose Apartment Owner Wisely
There are both companies that operate real estate as a business, and apartment owners that do it as a home business. I recommend former choice against latter in most cases for several reasons. First, companies pay more attention to security, so you are safer with them. Then, you have more service options, as well as payment options. You can pay by credit card, for instance. I know cases when private owners threw guest's belongings out of apartment due to some disagreement. Sometimes they are nasty women who do not know any business etiquette, nor do they care about your problems.

As a seasoned professional working in travel business for last ten years, I want to share my experience and knowledge with travelers coming to the capital of Ukraine. Whether you are new to Ukrainian customs and traditions or have visited Kiev a few times, I am sure my notes will be of use to anyone.
Location
Kiev is a large mega polis with more than three million inhabitants, so please pay due attention to the location of your hotel. Otherwise you will spend large part of your day hiring a taxi and standing in traffic jams. Main business activity and sightseeing are on the right bank of Dnipro river, and some hotels like Slavutich and Bratislava are on the left bank. If you are lured by their advertisements and stay in one of those, be prepared to spend hours in traffic on bridges that are scarce in number.

If you're planning a trip to Kiev, consider going the nontraditional route and rent a Kiev apartment instead of a hotel accommodation. There are a number of advantages to Kiev apartments, including privacy, roominess, and kitchen facilities. In addition, by staying in Kiev apartments you have the opportunity to meet more of the city's citizens and experience more of the local culture, both of which can add to your vacation experience or business trip.
Why Kiev?
Kiev (also known as Kyiv), is the capital of Ukraine, and is situated on the Dnieper River.

If you are traveling to Kiev, Ukraine for the first time, you are in for an experience. From the first moments of breaking through the clouds, you will notice a land of nature and beauty. Kiev is a very green country. The abundance of rainfall and annual snow makes Kiev a wonder of forests, lakes, rivers and pristine landscapes.
Boryspil International Airport is the main hub for The Ukraine. It services not only all international flights, but also domestic flights. Boryspil has a very large accessible runway for any type of aircraft. During the Soviet era, Boryspil International Airport was strictly a military airfield. Later after The Ukraine claimed independence, it was converted into a civilian airport hub.
All flights with the exception of a few carriers such as Delta and Air France park away from the terminal and bus in their passengers. It is a short bus trip to the International Terminal B.
You will quickly be greeted with an old style...Posted : November 17, 2009 | Comments : 0 |
