2 blocks from the President Hotel

The "Rus" Hotel is located next door to the President Hotel in the very heart of Kyiv, within a walking distance from Khreschatik Street and in a close neighborhood with the city’s historical sights and elegant restaurants.

"Rus" Hotel impeccably combines an intriguing European style and magic attraction of the national spirit. The Hotel also provides round-the-clock restaurant service, laundry and dry-cleaning, a beauty parlor, currency exchange office, Wi-Fi Internet access, air tickets, car rent, parking, a gift shop and business centre.

The hotel that our guests will stay is already in the center of Kyiv. It will take you less than 10 minutes to get to the main city street (Khreshatik), full of boutiques, restaurants, cultural sights and tourists from all over the world.

The hotels are located on Hospitalnaya St. To get to the famous Khreschatik you need to go up the street till it intersects with Lesi Ukrainki Blvd . Turn left and go along the Blvd. all the way up to Basseinaia St. It’s a short street at the end of which there is Krutoy Spoosk (Descent). Simply go across it and here you are on Khreshatik, which is the perfect place to start your tour around Kiev.

We can provide you with maps if you like.

Currently there are many flights flying out on October 15th and returning on October 20th from SEA, SFO, JFK to Kyiv (KBP) all under 1,000 USD. Most people will be traveling on flight 1385 from AMS to KBP if you want to meet some of your friends in route.

Right outside of Boryspil’s Terminal B (that’s where you arrive) to your right there are taxis and buses. Official shuttles say «Aтасс - Полёт» on its sides (schedule is here look at the lower one – from airport). The cost is 23 gryvnas (4.60$) and the ride lasts for around an hour.

The «Aтасс - Полёт» bus runs directly to the central railway station from where you can take a taxi to your hotel to the downtown. The Central railway station is some 5-10 minutes from the downtown by car. The taxi ride from there would cost you around 10$.

Near Terminal B and inside the airport you’ll also see a lot of solicitors proposing taxi rides. They should be pretty secure, but they would try to charge much more when they see you are a foreigner. Usually you can bargain down to 30$-40$ and even pay them in US dollars or Euro (they won’t give you change, so have the exact amount needed). You should select a car which has an orange sign on its top indicating it’s a taxi, don’t go with private drivers without appropriate license.
