Watch out for the expensive taxis waiting outside! Make shure they call you a cab from the reception! More

I found the Salute Hotel to be a very good value. We stayed there 5 days. We came from another hotel farther out wanting to get closer into the city. Our main consideration was location and price. I thought the room rate was very fair. I rented 2 rooms. 1 for my friend and one for me. They were on... More

A great location next to Pechersk monastery, the prestigious Pechersk neighborhood with many nice places to shop and dine. Hotel it self has great views from at least 50% of the rooms, all have balconies. A great exeample of modernist Soviet architecture, actually plannes as a high rise building but then reduced to a mere seven levels. Do not go... More

This is a 1980s Soviet built hotel which has been recently refurbished. Rooms are plain but clean and comfortable with TV, mini bar and telephone linking you to the city. Calls were cheap for a hotel of this size. There are excellent view over the city. Breakfast was your typical buffet style but with with a Ukrainian flavour consisting of... More

Its a 1980s built soviet-style piece of architecture which is a sign of the last defiant struggle before the breakdown of the soviet empire.

I was booked there by a colleague who didnt find rooms in the city for our stay and the only choice for our budget in that night was Salute Hotel. When you enter to the hotel you smell something that gives you a notion of humidity.. the front desk team were nice and friendly.. the elevators are old.. the floors... More

Kyiv/Kiev can be a bit intimidating, if you're like me and don't speak either Russian or Ukrainian. Thankfully the Hotel Salute (also spelled Salyut or Salyute) helped make Kyiv a great stay for me and my family. We booked our room online and sent them questions via e-mail beforehand. They answered promptly in English and made booking a snap. When... More

Only one night stay for a conference. Ugly "modern" archictecture and sovietic style operation. My room was basic, with a a cheap double bed in a wooden frame. Bathroom with a small sink and shower. Old TV set. Good modern air conditioning equipment. Thin door on the corridor, from where you can follow the steps of passing customers. Service is... More

My parents and I stayed in this hotel in Fall '06 while visiting our relatives in Kiev. This is a decent, upscale hotel in a good location. Nice, large park across the street. Shopping within walking distance. The view of the river is impressive! Our room was quite large, and it was great to have a balcony to view the... More
