Gostinii Dvor

The hotel is in a great central location, but also hidden and quiet. The design of the hotel really makes it feel like home and it has great character, taking full advantage of the old building whilst providing modern faciltiies. The staff are very friendly and cannot do enough to help from the receptionist to the restuarant waitresses. Breakfast is excellent with a number of choices cooked to order, and the dinner menu has a vast array of options for all tastes. I was offered takeaway breakfast for my journey home, even though I was leaving at 5am. Breakfast is normally served from 8am to Noon so there is no need to hurry, adding to the relaxed homely feeling. The rooms vary in design but are very comfortable and clean with a modern bathroom however the main room is designed.

There really are no negatives to say about the hotel. If I was to be really picky just to put something in the box then I would note that some food for particular courses can sometimes be delivered erratically, ie., vegetables 10 minutes after the main plate but this is not always the case and does not apply to everyone at the table. Again I stress this was not always the case and I am being really picky

Amazingly good breakfast - super fresh and lovingly prepared.

The roomies a bit austere and felt dated and slightly cramped. I had expected a desk to work on but the room size would not have allowed that.

I always stay there when I'm in Kharkov, I tried different hotels and this one exceeded my expectations the first time i stayed there back in 2017, and since then, it's my place of choice. Everything is nice, the rooms, the service, the staff, the breakfast (and the restaurant in general). Location is very convenient, it's in the city center and yet very quiet. Quality/Price ratio is amazing! I will continue staying there in the future, and recommend to everyone visiting this special city.

Out of the 3 times i stayed there, once I was unlucky and had a really small room with windows facing the street. It would have been alright if not for the brightly lit advertisement billboard outside which keeps jingling all night long and lights up the room! but again, not really the hotel's fault. I would recommend you'll ask for a room facing the courtyard. Also, one more thing i always find annoying: no tissue box in the hotel room! you have toilet paper, but no face or hand tissues in the room! Got used to this fact, so bringing my own tissues and wet wipes.

Great breakfast, good location
