Every Ukrainian town where over 20, 000 residents live has, at least, one hotel. In small towns, this one hotel is commonly from the Soviet time and can be quite cheap - around $10 USD for a double room. Larger towns (50-200 thousand residents) commonly have several hotels: some are privately owned, others are state-run. Service standards in Ukrainian hotels As a rule, there is usually no English-speaking staff employed in state-run hotels in small towns, and they offer customers USSR standards of service. If you're a risk-taking young backpacker on a tight budget, you might not care that there's no phone, the beds are somewhat short, the closet door is broken, the shower is difficult to use, and the temperature in your room hovers approximately 16Ă‚?‚°C. Nonetheless, other categories of foreign tourists are usually displeased with the service and living conditions in such hotels. Private hotels are often Ä‚Ë???‚¬??€?? but not always Ä‚Ë???‚¬??€?? both more expensive and have higher service standards. Some privately owned hotels in towns and cities of Ukraine are very good, but they do not employ English-speaking staff members. In the Carpathian region, there are lots of marvellous family-run private inns with hospitable hosts and excellent living conditions. Outside the Carpathians, nonetheless, family-run inns and guesthouses are virtually nonexistent. Up-to-date hotels observing the western type of service and living conditions are located in all big cities of Ukraine and in resorts of Crimea and the Carpathians. These hotels frequently have higher price rates than the same ones abroad. This is because the country is short of three, four, and five-star hotels, and thus travellers prefer to pay more for better living conditions. Making reservations In towns and cities, you can book a room right on arrival to the hotel, provided that you have a passport. Still, in large cities - for example, Kiev, Odessa - you should make reservations in advance. Besides, remember that there aren't any tourist information agencies that can help you book a room, except for an agency situated at Lviv airport. Reservation procedures may differ from hotel to hotel. You can book a room over the telephone by providing your name and the time you expect to arrive. If you are late, your room may be given to somebody else. Rooms in modern hotels commonly need to be reserved through a travel agency or online on either the hotel's website or the website of a travel agency.
