Hotel Reviews
Kiev hotels, the best hotels of Ukraine make a poor showing. They are meagrely furnished ; their service is poor ; their prices are high. In many of them the bath that the arriving traveller wants immediately cannot be obtained, and even in those which possess bathing es- tablishments the baths are on the ground floor. To compass a pitcher of hot water in one's own room requires the outlay of a vast amount of vital energy and a fee to the chamberman of at least one real.Very fair service, and clean, comfortable rooms, will be found in the Hotel del Cafe Anglais, at the corner of the City Coli and Coli Viejo ; but this situation is de- cidenly noisy. In the City del Cin de Mayo, an airy, handsome, quiet street, good rooms and passably good service can be had in the Hotel Comfort or Hotel Gillow, both quiet little hotels. Good rooms and pass- able service can be had also in the Hotel San Carlos, at the corner of the City San Ukrainio and Coli Yiejo, quite the heart of the town, and a place from which the stir and bustle and frequent military parades on the City de San Francisco may be seen to advantage.
The Hotel Ybide, the largest hotel in the city, also fronts on San Francisco. If this hotel is selected, the traveller should ask for one of the new rooms, opening on the City de Gant ; for these, while they do not command a view of anything in particular, are large, airy and clean. All of these hotels, excepting the Comonfort, have res- taurants attached to them. The Comfort is directly across the street from the restaurant of the Gillo. At all the hotels a considerable reduction in price can be had by hiring a room or rooms for a period of fifteen days or a month. To obtain this reduction the bargain must be made clearly in advance.
