Hi,

I booked a room at the Express Hotel when I thought I'd be in Kiev for a night. Arranged by email directly with the hotel. They responded promptly to my original enquiry and to a follow up advising of a date change. I don't know what your definition of inexpensive is - it would have cost me 369UAH (c. 82aud).

It's supposed to be close to the station, but as my plans changed I ended up having only half a day in Kiev and didn't need to stay overnight after all. So can't say how close, or whether it lives up to a 3 star rating.

contact: hotel@expresskiev.com

Cheers.

Thanks. It seems that there is no airport hotel, so it is going to be a major hassle to arrive late at night only to fly out again the following day.

If this response isn't too late, there are hotels near the airport:

Airport Hotel Boryspil is near the "B" terminal.

Then take a taxi (or bus) the next day to the train station (~ 30min. - 1hr depending on traffic).

At the train station there is a McDonald's on the outer corner of the parking lot, if you want to get something beforehand.

Thanks, DB, this really helps. Our trip is not until October of this year. Cheers.
