Bakkara Hotel

Brilliant hotel visited a few years ago on my 2nd visit to kyiv. And I can't wait to visit again in the future. Staff were brilliant, and my room was amazing and spotlessly clean. I had a room with a balcony onto the river, which was beautiful and peaceful sitting on my balcony watching the world go by. Nice and easy to get a taxi into the town centre, highly recommend

A nice place on the river. Staying here means using taxis back and forth, but that is fine. The rooms facing the river provide pleasant views and nice sunshine.

Since it is a SHIP, that has been retrofitted to a hotel, sound deadening between rooms is very minimal. I actually had someone bang on my door while playing my computer Netflix at a reasonable volume. They banged on the door so hard, I thought it would shake off the hinges. I called the front desk for security and no one responded.

Lovely hotel. Friendly reception staff.There was a banquet on in the evening when I went but they brought me dinner in the room for no extra cost

It was a terrible hotel stay I’ve ever been stay. We waited a hour at overnight check-in. We were really tired. Staff wasn’t helpful. They gave us dirty room also they said they don’t have a room. They were overbooking. We asked for blanket and it’s cane after one hour. I won’t go again this hotel and not recommending anyone.

I liked how this hotel was right on the river and we had an amazing view of the city and water. The concert stage was also directly in view for us. The grounds were kept clean and well. The hotel room was tidy and spacious but what I did not like is how many spiders we found lurking around our room and even in the restaurant they were crawling around the bar and the staff seemed to just ignore the bugs. I understand it though being on the river

This was our last hotel on our 9 day break to Kiev, we booked this hotel due to its location on the river, and it didn’t disappoint. The rooms are lovely, reception staff great. My only complaint was don’t go down to breakfast late if you are hungry, we arrived at 9.30am to find very little left and when we asked the restaurant staff for more they just ignored us, the coffee machine is also very slow, so in our opinion it’s was definitely not worth the cost. We would return to the hotel if we ever visited Kiev again, and hopefully the breakfast will be improved.

This hotel is old, however, room condition is good. clean.breakfast are good.

Standing for three hours in reception trying to get checked in ! I booked 9 pm after midnight before I got ‘a’ room - an inferior one as they still couldn’t find my booking. After 8 pm they have no receptionist (this is a 200 room hotel) & the concierge checks you in - he couldn’t find my booking despite my booking company calling him several times ! The place has an air of ‘menace’ about it & lots of security everywhere . Trust me find another place ! Also unless your riverside the train hurtles by your window shaking the boat . Bathroom is tiny & only shower with ship cabin style doesn’t have a separate area with its own drainage .
