We visited Dnipro in May. Initially, we booked another hotel on booking, but when we arrived, we found that it was, to put it mildly, a bathhouse with an hourly hotel. The taxi driver, when he drove to that hotel, was already chuckling maliciously))) Therefore, having seen where they got, they decided to urgently look for another hotel on the Internet.

We visited Dnipro in May. Initially, we booked another hotel on booking, but when we arrived, we found that it was, to put it mildly, a bathhouse with an hourly hotel. The taxi driver, when he drove to that hotel, was already chuckling maliciously)))
Therefore, having seen where they got, they decided to urgently look for another hotel on the Internet.
The choice fell on Dnepropetrovsk. They called - the rooms were free, settled even before 12:00. We took a junior suite, now I'm looking at the site - this room is called "comfort suite".
Yes, the building is Soviet, typical, monumental, with long corridors in both directions. But, the room is clean, tidy, with a modern renovation, just very miniature))) There are two balconies in the room - a great view of the Dnieper and the fountain.
The bedroom with a large bed is separated from the living room by sliding doors. In the living room there are two large armchairs, a table, a table, a mini fridge, plasma TV, a wardrobe with hangers.
In the bathroom, a shower, toilet, washbasin - a big minus, the cabin was leaking very significantly. They promised to fix it - so they gave extra towels (there were huge puddles). Cabin needs a major overhaul.
There is a hair dryer and shower accessories. You can ask the maid for a kettle.
Breakfast is included in the price - a choice of 3 types of breakfast from the menu in a nice cozy cafe on the second floor. The menu is also organized by day of the week. Room service is available. There is an ATM on the ground floor. There are not very many exchangers near the hotel, you have to go to the bank.
Very good location of the hotel - in the center, a wonderful view of the Dnieper and the embankment. The embankment is great for morning jogging and evening festivities - it’s clean, well-groomed, there are a lot of benches, public toilets work (in Kyiv there is a huge problem with toilets (((()
During the day you can go out to have lunch in one of the restaurants on the Dnieper. Directly adjacent to the hotel is a 24-hour Varus supermarket, where there is also a culinary department.
In addition to walking and jogging along the embankment, you can visit Monastyrsky Island, Yekaterinoslavsky Boulevard, the Menorah Cultural Center. Near the hotel there is a circus, shopping centers.
The city itself was frightened by the lack of people and the terrible state of the roads.
And of course, the "time machine" - the Dnepropetrovsk metro - left a very strong impression.
You go underground and are transported 30 years back. Especially if you get off at the second station of Metrostroiteley))) The top is empty, there are no people, and there is Ilyich's Palace.
Yes, I rode early in the morning on a working day, but there are practically no people at all. The cars are empty (only 4 advertisements for the entire car, one of them calls for military service). (That is, in Kyiv everything is simply oversaturated with information, most of which is superfluous, but in Dnipro, it seems that time has stopped and froze. People are not in a hurry, they generally live in a different rhythm).
Thrill-seekers are highly recommended to drive through all 6 stations and go up to the street at each.
4 stations are completely identical inside, just painted in different colors, absolutely without decor and fantasy, trains run on schedule every 7-9 minutes during rush hour. During the day 4 times an hour. Trains of three cars, instead of 5. There are practically no people. The trains are empty during rush hour, people greet each other - apparently, the same people travel at the same time.
In general, the overall impression of the city is a shock. Everything huge, monumental, built to last - and empty, a city without people. It's very sad and scary. Although there are a lot of young people on the embankment in the evenings.
People are very law-abiding and calm, the population is completely Russian-speaking - in 4 days I heard only two people speaking Ukrainian. I began to find out from taxi drivers and locals - where did the people go? They admitted that there has been a strong, over the past 2 years, massive outflow of the population, and especially young people, to the capital and abroad to earn money (enterprises are closing, there is no work).
The overall impression of the trip - the hotel friendly, friendly staff. (My sports uniform fell behind a chair in my room, the staff sent it by New Mail without any problems). The room is small, but decent and clean.
The city is worth a trip once to broaden your horizons. In the evening, in the warm season, I recommend an hour-long train on a pleasure boat along the embankment along the Dnieper.
