晚安酒店(Good Night Hotel)

Easy to find, just 3 or 4 minutes’ walk from Pryvoz Bus Station. With a gated entry on a very busy street, access was controlled from inside the hotel once I had pressed the gate buzzer. I arrived at around 11:45 not expecting my room to be ready until 14:00 & it was not ready. I left my bags in the secure/locked left luggage room & then checked in with the very friendly & helpful Lyubov who spoke excellent English & who was joined by the hotel’s owner, Marina. A very friendly, quick & informative check in as my passport was copied, info on Wi-Fi & breakfast times was given & I was advised of nearby sights & given directions for same. I booked my next morning’s breakfast slot for 08:00 & my order from the menu. The UAH30.00 tourist tax was deducted from my bill & paid as a separate payment. I was just settling down on a comfortable sofa to catch up on some news on my phone apps when, at 12.25, I was told that my room was now ready & I could go to it whenever I wanted. With no lift, Lyubov showed me to my room on the 2nd floor & gave me a key for room entry/exit & a key card for the electricity. Wow, a striking room when I entered it, fresh & modern with a quirky colour scheme & great design/layout. It was clean & bright, not massive but still more than an adequate size. It was all set for the very comfortable night that I ended up having with carpet floor, luggage rack, clothes closet, wall mounted tv, double bed (2 singles pushed together), long mirror, hairdryer, slippers, smoke alarm, a small work area, stool, radiator, easy to control aircon ranging from 16 to 31 degrees & plenty of electrical sockets. A large window overlooking the courtyard meant an abundance of natural light & there were absolutely no issues with noise from outside of the hotel. Indeed, even with a school tour group of approx. 20 – 14 & 15 yr. olds, there were no issues with noise from inside the hotel either. Wi-Fi was accessed by password, was quick to connect to, had fast speeds & was reliable. It auto connected immediately every time I re-entered the hotel. There was no iron in the room, but the luggage storage room doubled as the ironing room with an iron & ironing board that were free to guests to use. My bathroom was small but clean & like the bedroom, quirky/funky with a tiled floor, partially tiled walls, shower cubicle with a shower head & hose on a riser rail, easily controlled shower valve with great pressure & an endless supply of hot water, ceiling vent, mirror, 2 bath & 2 hand towels, large shampoo & large liquid soap in dispensers & 2 electrical sockets. Breakfast was cooked fresh to order & had teas & coffees in addition to what was on the menu. Even though the hotel was full, I was the only guest in the breakfast room from 08:00, when I entered the room, until I finished my breakfast. There is a photo of the menu attached to this review. Outside of my room, there was a door giving access to a large balcony overlooking the courtyard which, I would imagine

Good location behind the street in a courtyard, modern and clean. BUT! We could only book a twin room and hadn’t expected child width beds each hard against the wall, with unsupportive mattresses. Try sleeping on 76cm if you are not used to it! The mini-breakfast was ok but we had to ask three times to get coffee. Both machines were not working. In the end on the second request to her the receptionist made coffee from her desk.
