Hostel Factory

Hostel Factory is a budget hostel at Sichovykh Striltsiv Street 24-B in the Lukianivka area of Kyiv, near Lukianivska metro station. The street is named for the Sich Riflemen, the Ukrainian military formation of the First World War era, and the district sits north-west of the centre, mixing residential blocks, small businesses and the large Lukianivskyi market. Lukianivska metro, on the Green Line, connects directly toward Zoloti Vorota, Palats Sportu and the centre, so Maidan Nezalezhnosti and the Upper Town are about fifteen minutes away. The neighbourhood offers a more everyday Kyiv setting than the tourist core, with bakeries, supermarkets, canteens and cafes serving homestyle dishes at low prices. The hostel follows the typical backpacker format, with a communal kitchen, social spaces and a relaxed atmosphere. Beds are offered as Mixed Dorm Beds, Female Dorm Beds and Private Double Rooms, with lockers, wifi and shared bathrooms. Listed rates run from about UAH 400 to 700 for a dorm bed (roughly USD 9-16) and UAH 1,200 to 2,000 for a private room (roughly USD 27-44), which makes it among the cheapest ways to stay in the city. The service character is informal and budget-oriented, appealing to solo travellers, students and long-stay backpackers, and staff usually help with maps, transport tips and recommendations. History-minded visitors may combine a stay with a visit to the Babyn Yar memorial, which is a short ride from the area, and the nearby Syretskyi park and Dorohozhychi neighbourhood offer green space. Evening dining is more limited than in the centre, so many guests travel into town for dinner. Visitors should confirm availability, house rules and facilities directly with the hostel.
