I stayed at Hotel Kamelot with my fiancee from January 9-11th and I was thoroughly impressed with this hidden gem. Located in the heart of the capital city, and a two minute walk to the subway station and five minutes to markets and restaurants and the world famous Roshen chocolate boutique. A literal hole in the wall, Hotel Kamelot's atmosphere and decor is incredibly beautiful. The front desk agents were very welcoming, and booked us an hour at the spa (which we took full advantage of) and the waiter took our bags up the two flights of stairs and to our room.
Our room was quaint but very tidy, and we were comfortable there. The bedding was amazing. We never once turned on the TV but we did order room service both nights. Despite the long wait time the meals were incredible. Some of the best food I have had in Kiev. We sampled the split chicken, the sushi, the duck, but the best dish of all was the Manty dumplings. These were the best I've had in all of Ukraine. And the breakfast was great too. It was too cool to be served a private meal right by the pool.
Overall this quiet hotel experience was the perfect way to finish our New Years/Christmas getaway. It was never boring, and the staff were always friendly. Also the price cannot be beat.
