Faraon Hotel

Faraon Hotel is a riverside mid-range hotel at Naberezhno-Pecherska Road 2 on the Dnipro embankment in Kyiv, Ukraine, south of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra. The embankment road runs along the right bank of the Dnipro below the Pechersk hills, and this stretch is quieter and greener than the city centre, with views toward the river and the left-bank skyline. The hotel is described as a quiet option for travellers with a car, because the location is some distance from the nearest metro stations and public transport requires a bus, tram or taxi connection. The Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, one of the country's most important monastery complexes, the Motherland Monument and the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War are the main sights in the vicinity, and the Dnipro promenades and parks offer walking and cycling routes in warmer months. Maidan Nezalezhnosti and Khreshchatyk are a taxi ride of around fifteen to twenty-five minutes depending on traffic. Typical rates are UAH 2,500-4,500 per night (approximately USD 55-100). Room types listed are the Standard Double Room, the Twin Room and the Family Room, with wifi, 24-hour reception, air conditioning and breakfast among the listed amenities. Breakfast is the main on-site meal, and for other meals guests should plan to drive or take a taxi to the centre or to restaurants in the Pechersk district. No spa, pool or fitness centre is listed. Service is functional, with reception able to help with taxis and parking questions, and parking should be confirmed in advance. Visitors should confirm the current operating status and any shelter arrangements directly with the hotel before travel, since conditions in Ukraine can change quickly. The hotel suits motorists, families and travellers seeking a calm riverside base rather than a central city-break location. Air conditioning is listed among the amenities, which is welcome during hot summer weeks, and the family room allows parents to travel with children in a single room.
