We know smth about Ukraine, we booked a flight, arrived and even had a good taxi ride or funny and advantеrous trip on a bus and subway (called) METRO.

The most famous and 5 star hotels are:
PREMIER PALACE
HYATT REGENCY KIEV

All other hotel are easy to find and book on worldwide net. I can give you some local mobile application for booking in Ukraine. 

BOOKING APP

Of course first what are YOU looking for is a hostels. Thanx God after EURO 2012 we got more of them. Not like in Europe and rest of tourist world but still. I choose only downtown places. Ukrainian web offers YOU:

KIEV ART-HOSTEL                                              from 105 hrn (apx. 13 usd)
HOSTEL KYIV                                                     from 90 hrn ( 9 euro)
ZIGZAG HOSTEL                                                 from 100 hrn (10 euro)
KIEV HOSTEL                                                     from 70 hrn (7 euro)
CHILOUTHOSTEL                        from must check (they offer Chornobyl tours)
GAGARINHOSTEL                                                from 85 hrn (10 usd)
DREAM PARTY HOSTEL                                        from 70 hrn (7 euro)
THE HUB HOSTEL                                               from 90 hrn (9 euro)

I believe this list is enough. Everywhere is a free wifi, some of them offer free loundry and other hostel facilities. Hostel bussines is growing up. Later I'll make some reports about theme hostels in Kiev and other Ukraine. 

Browsing internet i found interesting map of Ukraine that illustrate how many LENIN monuments still stand free and with honour in Ukraine. For those who is interested in Soviet Union and post soviet countries that might be usefull information. And i decided to make once a week some brief review of some post soviet things that YOU can find, visit, touch and even buy. 
Here is a map and some guides for you to be in touch.

Thanx for those who created this illustration!
