Because at check out you may be charged for using mini bar even you didn't use it.

As an American Experience platinum card holder  we have stayed at some of the most prestigious places in the industry.

i wonder if the management is getting a cut from the hooker transactions since we spent more money at the lounge than all of the tables combined,

When the waitress came, she demanded cash or credit card on the spot.

No attempt to get them to either refund, OR to either keep the money and use it as credit for my next stay, were successful.

And is really unacceptable that Espresso and Cappuccino are only with extra charge!!!

The bedrooms were large and well appointed and very clean

The Sky Bar on the top floor was a favourite place to have a drink late into the evening with spectacular views over Kharkiv 

Lovely hotel with great service and pleasant, friendly staff

Friendly staff, and their taxi service was really good also to and from airport.

The staff is friendly and helpful and they speak good English.

Room service was  always fast and friendly.

but on par with Western prices), bar staff is attentive, friendly, and English-speaking.

this is a friendly, fancy hotel, walking distance from everything in Kharkiv - which was lovely too.

Spacious rooms, very friendly personnel, very clean.

Everyone I came in contact with, Olga at the front desk, Vitaliy the concierge, Igor the bellman, Vachaslav and Yuliya at the Terrace, and Andrey, Alina, and Leza at the Sky Lounge were so helpful and friendly for anything I needed.

Excellent friendly staff, well appointed hotel with quality rooms and excellent suites, good restaurants, bars, sky bar on the roof and an excellent Spa on the top floor..!!

Check-in friendly and efficient and presented with a voucher for free business lunch as I didn't take breakfast on my departure day during my last visit.

One of the best hotels ever visited, nice clean rooms, friendly staff, can speak English.

Attentive, friendly, English-speaking staff.

The staff speaks English very well and is friendly.

Very nice hotel and the staff was great, had drinks at the sky bar, it was very nice and friendly.

I have been 3 times in Kharkiv and tried 4 hotels already - it's simply the best - it's worth it's price if you don't like funny and bad surprises - staff is attentive and very friendly - they speak English - in other places you find everything - from ignorant  to indifferent and even stupid staff - rooms are excellent - take a superior room at least - in no other country you will find such a luxury environment for the same price - maybe in Malaysia and Colombia

but guests have to make their own coffee from a similar mashines you finde at a 3* hotel, but if you catch the English speaking waiter you can get a real handmade cappuccino.

It felt like we were the only guests, which was a bit weird.

She created a sale that did not exist and since it was early and few other guests.

However management should balance thr logidtics of each gunction against the vomfort of guests.

also, the waitresses at the sky lounge need to brush up on the customer service- they were incredibly rude to me and my guests- we asked for a table and were told by a lady with the biggest fake smile i've ever seen that all of the tables were reserved except for the one in the very corner in the separate room.

although it doesn't have the brand of luxury like western chains, anyone staying here will notice their attention to detail to make guests feel at home.

although some female guests may not appreciate the exotic video that plays on the numerous video screens.

Either I had a 'discount' and it should be applied automatically or I did not and the question was irrelevant and annoying in front of guests.

All expected amenities are there for guests, and then some.

There is a shopping arcade with ridiculously overpriced stores that cater to the type of clientele that the hotel seems to attract.

I just wish it was enforced that the guests left their coats before entering the restaurant.

Unfortunately common in Ukraine and Russia, where guests are not civilized.

As one other guest wrote: ". the culture and mentality issue and attitude can be bothering from time to time."

As far as I've heard, this place haven't been fully occupied since the Soccer Championships and we did not run into many other guests during our visit which is slightly worrying.

The hotel doesn't come cheap and therefore the lack of English language knowledge of many of the staff is definitely a weakness the management should address.

The hotel response was top professional – not only the issue was addressed immediately as well as at check-out, I also received a phone call from the guest manager few days after we have left.

But still hotel management should do something about

Beware of a string hanging down above the bathtub - it's an alarm system activation :) - we got a call from front desk right away inquiring if everything was Ok. Would probably recommend the hotel management to put a note there explaining what that is.

The management's politic during the euro 2012 was really absurd

When I got to my room, the music was still loud.

It is now midnight and there are still loud construction noises coming from the lobby.

The piano player in lobby bar was so loud made it impossible to rest, think or nap in late afternoon or early evening.

(The croissant I picked up could have  been used as a blunt weapon, had the need have arisen)

At check-out, the receptionist told me out loud how much the total bill came to.

Soundproof in the room could have been better – Friday party music from the lounge bar above was well heard,

There is an outstanding quality and service during your stay.

All was great  , the hotels location just perfect ,  , the service is great , rooms are clean and well kept , rich breakfast buffet with big verity of different fresh dishes.

Perhaps my 30th time stay in hotel, never change the service quality is best.

Service in any of the on-site restaurants is excellent,

The service by their staff as good or better than many of the other 5 star hotels I have previously stayed at.

The service is excellent, the hotel and all services as well.

good helpful service noce big rooms high quality and very clean.

Rooms are clean, nice interior, service was great, any questions or requests were solved in no time.

Great service, beautiful rooms, and great people to do business with, I will be back, I want add to my review of a great service they offer at the hotel!

The hotel is modern and very clean with excellent service.

It is a very nice hotel and the service is great.

Actually the great service was all over the hotel.

We've been here twice before and every time they manage to surprise us with food and service quality.

There is a car service frim and to the hotel.

Both the service and food were very good.

I also enjoyed the small spa with a nice swimming pool overlooking the city.

The hotel has a top floor covered pool, warm all the time with some of the best views overlooking Shevchenko  Park (see my future reviews of this park and Gorky) plus a hydro pool, dry and steam sauna all included.

Impeccable hotel - accessible to all points in the city, excellent staff, fantastic breakfast, a spa including a pool.

Sauna is just hot and dry as it has to be.

SPA center is on 11 flour and we loved town view from swimming pool.

Tow of my companions used the hotel spa and were very complimentary of that and the services offered as well.

Sport complex with standing pool and hamam.

Haz everything you need to enjoy your stay; restaurant, spa, pool,.stores and more.

Located it the center of the city and convenient to everything.. Several restaurants, Sauna, pool, hair, massages, gift shops and a bank.. Easy to select this hotel..

Great spa and gym facilities on the 11th floor.

There is a Spa, pool and gym sharing the top floor with a top level restaurant that has great views of the city.

the hotel is amazing very modern - it has a Steam Room Sauna and Pool.

All staff greet you very warm welcoming with such great hospitality.

Thanks for employees for evertime too smiles.

To a person, everyone I dealt with in my 4-day stay was efficient, polite and conscientious.

but any case the  parking was available  for free, room clean the staff was gentle , breakfast available , maybe room was little small, but badroom big.

Pleasant staff and we did order room service and it was good.

However staff great as usual and I hope this hotel can maintain its usual standards.

All of the staff speak perfect English a huge plus for those like me who don’t speak Russian or just a few greetings.

The personnel of the hotel were extremely professional and helpful.

The personnel is very helpful and fluent in English (which is not always the case in Ukrainian hotels).

The room was clean, bed is comfortable, fully equipped with all kind of utensils available, +1 for the water kettle.

Every evening staff presents all guests little chocolates.

Right next to the park and view over the UNESCO world heritage listed university the situation of the hotel is excellent

Check in is very smooth and the rooms have a great view over the city.

Daily cleaned rooms with lots of amenities, the rooms are spacious and there isn’t much noise from the outside.

The hotel it self and the rooms are very comfortable and clean.

The quality of the rooms and we had 2 of them are what you would expect of a 5 star hotel, my Wife went crazy over the toiletries which where French and made with Coco,

The rooms are excellent, big and cozy, with heated floor in the bathroom.

The general facility is beautiful and the rooms are very nice.

It is very reasonably priced, extremely clean, very good breakfast buffet that was included in the price and most of all the staff were extremely friendly, helpful and couldn't do enough for us!

Good breakfast, clean rooms, nice employees.

In the morning there is a delicious breakfast buffet with alot to choose from, varying from cold to hot food.

The breakfast were tasty and with a great variety of food.

Small friendly hotel with a decent breakfast.

Restaurant serves a very decent breakfast from 7am to 10am.

Can highly recommend the breakfast for variety and taste.

Right in the city center; great breakfast and cosy accomodation.

From the breakfast to even dinner- the food is AWESOME!

The breakfast was very good and it was fresh every morning.

The hotel offers great service - from airport pickup, 24 hour room service, lovely clean rooms, great breakfast buffet and very friendly, English speaking staff.

The room was great, staff is very helpful, breakfast is really nice, and we were given lunch boxes because we were leaving early.

The staff are very friendly, and always remember me & any special requests.

Extremely friendly staff and with a restaurant that is serving high quality food.

Staff is so friendly and caring, rooms are so comfy and warm. Nice!

It is an excellent hotel with a wonderful and friendly staff.

The staff speak very good English and are all very friendly and clearly want to offer great service.

My stay at the Chichikov hotel was exceptional and the staff were very helpful and friendly.

four friends and myself recently stay at the chichikov hotel ,which is in the heart of Kharkov.we found it to be a very pleasant place to stay .the staff were really friendly and genuinely wanted to make our stay a happy one.the rooms really well kept and very clean ,with tv and mini bar

Fantastic staff and very friendly and always willing to help.

You have more than 10 places you can visit on foot 
Staff is very nice and friendly.

The room was comfortable and the entire staff was always helpful and very friendly.

Excellent breakfast and very friendly, well trained staff.

The check in was done in a professional and friendly manner and I was always made welcome by whoever was on duty.

Out of all my different stays in Ukraine, this hotel had the most helpful and most pleasant staff, so friendly and helped will everything.

It was only about a foot off the ground and felt like they had thrown a sheet over the box spring and called it a bed.

My one complaint is that my bed was quite low to the ground,

It is served on the first floor, reachable by winding stairs from the ground floor.

but you’ll have the pay the extra $100 per night to write that review), the bathrooms were average (small like the rooms with no frills), and the beds (it didn’t matter how much you spent) were at best average (you know, low to the ground, not hard, not soft, but not perfect either….kind of Holiday Innish if you ask me).

Service - this is something incredible!!! It’s more than just with love ❤️ 
Big thanks to the hotel team and big request to all - stay here!!!)

This was such a lovely gesture from the staff.

The whole staff is very helpful, speaks English and is even smiling all the time.

Large, comfortable rooms  with helpful front desk staff.

The staff were so caring and helpful towards our little ones, a one year old and a three year old.

All in all, I continue to be impressed by Chichikov Hotel, its staff and customer service - and its great value too.

From english speaking staff to map of the city, this hotel is better than 5 star hotels I have stayed at around the world.

The staff graciously filled my thermos every morning with green tea.

The only things I missed were washcloths, I was told they weren't available, and had to do with only a hand and bath towel.

When housekeeping left me a “fresh” towel that smelled like an ashtray, the front desk had someone at my door with a new set of towels in about two minutes.

While I do not need new towels, I do like my towels to be at least semi-plush (you know, some softness left).

Hotel located right in the center and everything is easy to reach by foot or metro.

This hotel is located in the city center and you can see all the sights of the city

It is in the city center, easy to walk anywhere you need to go.

In the city centre very convenient to museums, art gallery, restaurants etc.

Located in the center of the city in a former block of apartments at the same time it has special and romantic atmosphere, every detail is well thought of and it's stylish.

This hotel is located in the city center and you can see all the sights of the city.

Also it's located right in the heart of city center and have a great restaurant too.

Abajour may as well be a bistro in Montparnasse as much as a center of excellence in cuisine in Kharkiv.

And the location is excellent in the center of kharkuv and close to the freedom square

The hotel is located right in the center.

Staff is friendly and helpful.City center location is perfect -

Its right in the centre so location is great .

basically you can just choose this hotel for the location, it is in the real center of Kharkiv and you can reach in a walking distance everything you need
moreover it is a nice hotel, kind of boutique hotel with big room and nice restaurant downstairs.

Hotel 19 is centrally located on Sumska St (or Sumskaya St, depending on whether you use Ukrainian or Russian).

Located 200 meters south of Shevchenko beautiful park and centrally located this hotel offers beautiful and spacious rooms (stayed in the Deluxe) and warm hospitality in a picturesque urban setting.

Friendly staff and security man, who helped us a lot during our stay when our keycard did not work (we had to replace our cards almost every 3-4 days - 4 times total) which was annoying when you walked up to the last floor just to walk back down - keep in mind that there's no elevator, could be a problem for people who need some accessibility.

No there is no elevator, ask in advance for a room on the ground floor if needed.

Hotel is located in historical building and doesn’t have elevator, so climbing to the third floor could be a downside for families with little kids or senior visitors

Cost was 210UAH, or roughly US$7.Only one tiny drawback - no elevator so be prepared to climb some stairs.

There is no elevator, so be ready to go upstairs and to sweat a little haha.

The building is 3 storeys high and there are no lifts.

NOTE: There is no elevator for special needs or handicapped.

Note: there is NO elevator, and stairs are rather steep, so elder or disabled person might better stay on ground floor.

Rooms and interior are very cool, staff is friendly and helpful.

The staff is very friendly, they all greet me with my odd comings and goings.

Rooms are cozy and proper with comfortable bed and modern bathroom, personnel very friendly & caring.

I visited it few times and compare to other hotels this one has the most friendly people, the best service and the best interior.

but very clean, comfortable and exceptionally friendly, helpful, English speaking staff.

This place was recommended to me and I spent two days and night here. Well located, very friendly and helpful receptionists, lovely rooms (management - please add BBC or CNN to the TV list!)

The stuff at the reception are very friendly and helpful,they were talkative most of the time ,gentle,and supportive,they offered us an umbrella as it was raining.

The breakfast choices, as others noted, were excellent (the best I have had in  a while), the decor is funky in a very Ukrainian way and the staff are most friendly and helpful.

Fast, friendly check-in, delicious dinner at the restaurant from a menu that was first class, clean, comfortable room with unique decor and then breakfast was wonderfully unique.

Great hotel with good location in downtown, friendly staff and cozy stylish room.

Hotel is a gem of a hotel in a central location for sightseeing in Kharkiv Ukraine.All staff are diligent and professional; friendly and helpful.Breakfast is treat.I recommend you stay here if in kharkiv!

From the comfort and quality of the hotel to the restaurant and the friendly service, I wish I could take Hotel 19 and Abajour everywhere.

Located in the very heart of the city, Design is really authentic and worth seeing (especially such design will love woman).

Booked this hotel on-line based on reviews and location.

The breakfasts are amazing in the restaurant "Italian redactcia" located at the basement of the hotel.

I stayed at this cozy hotel, located in a courtyard along the city's main thoroughfare, so location was extremely convenient

Location is perfect; right in the middle of Kharkiv and within short walking distance of the main square and parks.

Location is good, its near to good bars and restaurants and not far from the metro, the station is about 3 KM away

This was our first stay in hotel 19,as our usual hotel was overbooked ,we found an available room there ,our choice was based on the provided reviews about hotel 19 ,and it's excellent location on Sumsksya street.

Very good location, close to two underground stations.

It also has an excellent location, just off the main street,

I was taken there by an extremely nice young Lady Kate an IT specialist who had used the hotel for her Company.

They are so helpfull and know very well english because generally ukranian people dont know english.

Most of all it is the staff of Hotel19 that make it a rare diamond.

The staff was excellent (and spoke very good English).

The staff all speak at least some English so they were very helpful to me and even helped with learning some Russian.

Last mounth i was there
It was a wonderful experience in Ukraine and in this nice hotel, thank you very much to the staff and the management for their help.Very tasty food and good rooms in the hotel will not leave you indifferent I will certainly return to you again.

Young & professional service, colourful walls,  good music, delicious menus.

but staff will definitely help you with luggage.

Its firstly very pleasing on the eye, the staff at reception are very helpful, and very pleasant.

Receptionist were excellent and they don’t know word NO.

I suspect Hotel19 owners might just be lost descendants of Euclid in their trained eye and their astute perfection in every detail.

Thank also my personal assistant Milla for presenting me this beautiful place.
