Kiev is a great city and tourist destination but it does suffer from a lack of hotel rooms. There are a small number of superb 5* hotels such as the Hyatt Regency, Radisson and Premier Palace together with a variety of 3* and 4* hotels, 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.

Across the city are lots of apartments which are available for rental. There are a good number of rental agents offering places to stay of several sizes and areas throughout the metropolis. There are enough advantages for choosing an flat as opposed to a Kiev hotel.

Firstly, the service will be considerably more personal with a rental agent than with a accommodation. They are able to support you with all sorts of things such as airport shuttles and trips. Even the smallest apartments will have a lot more room than a hotel room. A good number have internet connection which is very useful for all those 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 costs will also work out much better value than hotels therefore on the whole, apartments should really be perceived as after planning your stay in Kiev in 2012.
