Must-see hotels in Ukraine

  • Knyaz Golitsyn

    Crimea

    A chalet-styled building under a red-tiled roof set on the Sudak road away from the sea, this brand-new luxury hotel has large tastefully decorated rooms,…

  • Otdykh

    Crimea

    Hotel 'Relaxation' was a 19th-century brothel; now it's a decent enough budget pension. Some of the bathrooms are a bit whiffy and there's some street…

  • Yalta Apartment

    Crimea

    English-speaking Lyudmila operates several nicely furnished flats in the heart of Yalta, at the beginning of vul Karla Marksa. Our favourite is the cheap…

  • Seit-Nebi Baza Turist

    Crimea

    Slightly incongruous low-rise buildings surround the grass-covered courtyard of this Tatar-run establishment. Rooms are clean, though unremarkable. There…

  • Motel Bogema

    Crimea

    The Motel Bogema features large bland rooms with linoleum on the floor and an odd choice of furniture. Standard rooms come with air-con and sea view…

    Crimea

    With its large open-air pool, modern and tastefully decorated rooms, Ukraina is about the best place to stay in Yevpatoriya, but you need to book two or…

    Crimea

    A budget subsidiary of the more upmarket Hotel Lidiya, Sunflower is lovely in a Spartan sort of Ikea fashion, and there's a kitchen. Only its location is…

  • Olymp

    Sevastopol

    Very helpful staff, a location on a quiet street and comfy pistachio-coloured rooms are Olymp's main virtues. But the lobby could do without those faux…

  • TOK Yevpatoria

    Crimea

    Buzzing like a beehive, this old Soviet dinosaur has hundreds of musty rooms and a swimming pool. Hot water is switched off at 10pm until 6am next morning.

  • Krym

    Crimea

    This historic (since 1890) no-frills hotel is good value for the price, considering its location in the Old Town, close to Dzhuma-Dzhami Mosque.

  • Zeleny Gai

    Eastern Ukraine

    One of the better and friendlier Soviet pansionaty in the area. It's on the main road, about 700m from the bus station.

  • Talisman Hotel

    Crimea

    The charming Talisman Hotel is a good-value establishment overlooking the Kara-Dag foothills.
