Lviv, Ukraine Hotel Rooms at the Independent

Loved, loved, loved this hotel (of course, one of those "loves" is because they gave me the only room in the Hotel with a balcony overlooking the Old Town--Room 203). But this Hotel was really sweet: it is 1 and 1/2 short blocks from the main city square, the street with some of the best city restaurants is right around the corner (the Armenian Church street), the breakfast is abundant, with lots of hot and cold dishes, the staff goes out of its way to help you accommodate your needs, and - like Lviv in general - the price is very affordable. The building was only recently converted to a Hotel, so it does not have that "used and battered" feel. And while the Hotel offers many services -- free WiFi, minibar, elevator, complimentary newspaper and bottled water, airport shuttle, etc -- about the only negative for me was that there was no coffee/teapot in the room (but the minibar and lounge coffee prices are so inexpensive, this isn't really a huge problem).

Excellent hotel in every way. The room was spotless and the staff were very attentive. A real five star service

Friendly staff, comfortable room. Restaurant is convenient, especially for breakfast. Closer to western standards that most. Location is within short walk of city center and yet far enough away to give some privacy and quiet. Secure parking available for a fee. Pool area small but very nice. No elevator to second floor!

This place was perfect for me i was travelling on my own and had everything i needed, pictures are accurate

Excellent hotel right in the city centre. Rooms where small but clean and well appointed. If you need a desk in your room then you should go for the superior room. Shower was very small so if you're girthy you may want to consider other options. Included breakfast was really good by Lviv standards - omelets, scrambled or fried eggs, bacon, sausages, cereals, fruit, fresh squeeze OJ and other juices, coffee and pastries. Staff have excellent english and are very polite. Not quite the Leopolis but a lot less pricey.

Very enjoyable 15 day stay at the Grand Hotel, Lviv. Friendly, Helpful, English Speaking Staff Quaint, hotel with Clean Comfortable Rooms Breakfast included In Heart of Lviv, a short walk to everywhere we wanted to go

Dnister Premier Hotel is a Soviet era modernist hotel that recently has been renovated and refurbished. The room that I got was comfortable and tastefully decorated. The rooms hallway matched the decore of the room. The main lobby however could be made better attractive. The hotel is located by a nice park which separates it from the old city. The hotel has a good restaurant on the second floor with a terrace facing the park. On the nineth floor of the hotel there is a Panorama bar which overlooks the park and the city. The view of the city is splendid. The restaurant food (breakfast is included) is very good. Prices are reasonable. Service is good. Staff are pleasant.

The Eurohotel, which does not appear in the Bradt guide to the Ukraine, was recommended to me by a local tour guide that I intended to use. This hotel is a well-equipped, modern hotel in a nice residential/academic neighbourhood, just 10 minutes walk from the central area of Lviv. The staff are most friendly and helpful. The hotel has a small restaurant, although it has only a limited menu. There are a few minor drawbacks: 1. our double room was a bit on the small size, though adequate. [But all the equipment was modern, tasteful and well-maintained.] 2. there is free WiFi. But it did have some problems. On the 4th floor, one could easily connect into the non-secure system, but not the secure version; but neither version could be accessed on the 6th floor. I had to use the lobby to get the secure system - but from there, the connection was very fast. 3. the buffet breakfast was fine in quality, but oriented largely to Ukrainian tastes, not international. Otherwise, I would thoroughly recommend, especially as it gives excellent value.

The hotel proved to be a great place to stay while in Lviv! Very friendly staff.
