Kiev is the city where the modern and the ancient create wonderful chances for historical and aesthetical exploration. However, before you visit this fabulous city, take some time to figure out at least 2 points: where you will spend your nights and how you are going to get around the place.
Let us discuss picking an apartment. Start by considering what you can afford and personal preference, you can either choose to rent a room in a Kiev hotel, or rent an apartment. Mind the class of Kiev hotels to evaluate the quality of the service and accommodation and the price you are willing to pay for it.
Kyiv boasts of several five and four star hotels. There are literary tens and tens of less posh Kiev accommodation opportunities. A five star hotel will be approximately $400-850 per night, four star hotels will be around $150-$500, three stars will be about $70-300, 2 stars will be from $50 to 120 and small and one star hotels cost around 25-100 per 24 hours.
There are as well several hostels in the city for students and young people. In a regular hostel you can find modest but clean accommodation and some beds in one room.
In case you want to spare some money, you might want to rent an apartment. Instead of a small hotel room for about $90-150 you can get an excellent flat in the downtown. Single room cheep apartments can be rent for less than $50. Some owners that allow you to rent such Kyiv apartments might as well offer to meet you at the airport. The rule of thumb of here is to book the room some days ahead.
In case you are really desperate for money or would like to have something more extreme, you could try renting a sleeping berth in a train car. There is a train depot not far from the train station
