On The Corner

Accommodation will be your single biggest expense in Ukraine, but with the recent fall in value of the hryvnya, rooms are slightly more affordable than they once were. Kyiv, Crimea and eastern Ukrainian cities are the most expensive places to stay; smaller towns and the Carpathians are better value. Room prices in rural towns can be as low as 100 to 200uah a night, with prices plummeting to 50uah in a few places.
Note we list room rates in hryvnya, as do most hotels, guesthouses and hostels. But you may still come across places where prices are listed in US dollars or euros.
Water problems – hot and cold – still plague Crimea, Lviv and Odesa. The situation is exacerbated in busy periods and is sometimes worse in budget hotels. More expensive accommodation often has private water tanks to guarantee 24-hour supply.
