Gintama Hotel

I could hear all the people in the corridor and in another room. It was very hot in the room and no way to make it cooler. There was only one set of towels for one person, which we found out in the morning after showering. Had to share. The bed was awful. The mattress was so hard that I could not sleep and my hip hurts for a week now. They have parking for one car only. No free water in the room, no tee/coffee maker. And during check-out you have to wait till they check the room in case you stole something. Very soviet-like.

What an awful hotel! It advertises itself as a 4 star although I would hardly rate it a two! It’s situated on the first floor of an apartment building, very dated and dark. The hotel organised a taxi from the airport at a cost of £35. I returned to the airport at the end of my stay by Uber. The cost was £9! When I arrived at 9pm I was hoping to have a bite to eat in the restaurant. I was informed that the restaurant closed at 7pm. At 7pm, I would think that would be the time it opened. I popped into the bar for a drink and popped right out again - a dark, uninviting ‘bar’ that resembled a morgue. I went back to my room which was the temperature of a fridge - the receptionist informing me that the heating doesn’t get turned on until November. I was handed an electric heater. I turned on the television - no signal! I was beginning suspect I was in an episode of Fawlty Towers! Would breakfast be any better? No! It was probably the worst breakfast that I have ever had. To cap it all, guests were only allowed one cup of coffee and you had to pay extra for each successive cup. The only slight positive in a nightmarish stay was that the receptionists were friendly and helpful.

If you arrive at hotel after midnight with a friend or a guest and they spend time in room, you will be billed extra 600 grivnas. Which was a surprise rule. They have an otherwise nice hotel. If the had some weights or exercise equipment, it would have been great
