Different Accommodation Options in Kiev

Kiev is the capital of Ukraine and will host the Euro 2012 Championships final. For the duration of the competition, tens of thousands visitors will travel to the urban centre from practically every areas of Europe to be part of the action.

Kiev is a wonderful city and a great tourist location but it does suffer from a lack of hotel rooms. There are some good 5* hotels such as the Hyatt Regency, Radisson and Premier Palace in addition to many 3* and 4* properties, some dating back to Soviet times.

Having said that, they are probably not going to provide enough rooms for all the officals, media and supporters who will arrive in Kiev in the summer of 2012. This will clearly be an issue but there is a alternative on offer.

Almost everywhere in the city are a lot of apartments which are available to rent. There are various letting agents offering apartments of various sizes and areas all over the urban centre. There are ample advantages for choosing an apartment rather than a Kiev hotel.

Firstly, the service will be a lot more personal with a rental agent than with a accommodation. They are able to help you with all sorts of things such as airport transfers and tours. Even the smallest apartments will have a lot more room than a hotel room. Nearly all have internet connection which is very useful for people travelling with a laptop.

The flats also have extremely good locations near the Kiev urban centre centre. The city’s metro also helps you to get around with ease. There are plenty of small shops and supermarkets which means that food shopping is much cheaper than eating out every day as you can easlily prepare food in your flats kitchen.

Flat prices will also work out a lot cheaper than hotels so on the whole, flats should really be viewed as the minute planning your stay in Kiev in 2012.

Euro 2012 will be co-hosted by Poland and Ukraine. The final will be played in Kiev and the lack of hotels could present a problem to football supporters.
