基輔市中心環球賽跑者飯店及青年旅館

I stayed here for 4 nights in March 2025 during a trip to Kyiv to see friends. A paid for a private double room. The hostel does have shared rooms, which were much cheaper, but I wanted my own space. As a result, a paid a significant premium for the room. This hostel in not cheap in comparison to competitors in Kyiv. However, the central location of Globe Runner makes it a great base to explore the city. It is located a 5-10 minute walk from the Golden Gate monument (with access to Zoloti Vorota and Teatralna metro stations). Many of the central attractions in Kyiv are within walking distance or easily accessible by bus or metro. Also, the staff are incredibly friendly and understanding. I accidentally booked 3 nights instead of 4 nights. I did not have to pay a fine; instead the staff called me to explain the situation and they were happy for me to pay the bill for the extra night at reception without moving my belongings to another room. They made my stay seamless and I felt very welcome. It was interesting to hear some of the staff talk about their personal experience of the full scale invasion. I was grateful to hear their perspectives. Globe Runner has lots of space for co-working, and seemed to attract many guests working remotely during my stay. There is also a cafe next door with direct access from the hostel that serves great coffee and breakfast (I forgot the name of this place). It is also had a fully stocked bar and seemed lively in the evening. Overall a great visit. I would recommend Globe Runner as a safe place to stay for any international visitor.
