Hotel is good,tea station at the room,but our request for room with bathtub was ignored (, at time of arrival no rooms with bathtub. Good bier pub at the property, nice breakfast there a la carte. Location is not too far from city center, underground station 7 min walk, big shopping mall opposite. Area around hotel looks so poor- nothing interesting but safe. Swimming pool closed for the construction more than one month,that sound strange. Looks like special reason to safe owners budget). Anyway i recommend Mercure Kyiv for short stay.
