I would not consider myself to be a "normal" tourist in that hostel, because I've spent so much time there, that it already feels a bit like home. Now it's high time to write a review :) I stayed at Why not? more than 7 months over the last 1,5 years (studies and holidays). I know all the rooms and... More

I would never stay anywhere else in Kyiv! Perfect location, very clean, comfortable, colorful, friendly, well-organized, charming and the best asset is their staff! They know everyone and everything in Kyiv and do not hesitate to share all their valuable knowledge about the city with you. With the help of their motto "impossible is nothing" you will spend some unforgettable... More

Location of hostel is good. Most of the sights are within walking distance. Many restaurants and a very good supermarket are on 2-3 minutes walking distance. Metro station is 5 minutes away on foot. Staff was very friendly and helpful, and they spoke excellent English. They will take you anywhere you want, sometimes cook for and generally show you a... More
