About
The Hostel Жд Вокзал Центр - Kyiv
The Hostel Жд Вокзал Центр is a classic transit hostel: efficient, spotless and focused on practical comfort. It sits on Zhylianska Street, a short walk from the main railway station and the Vokzalna metro stop, which makes it a logical base for an early train or a late arrival. The vibe is low-key and functional — think good mattresses, reliable Wi-Fi and a staff that keeps everything running on time.
Rooms are dormitory-style, from 2 to 8 beds, each with air conditioning, heating and a private locker operated by an electronic key card. Shared bathrooms are repeatedly praised in guest reviews for being clean and plentiful. A free breakfast of oatmeal and tea is included, and there's even an in-room computer and a cafe for hanging out. The hostel’s 24-hour desk means you can drop bags or check in regardless of your arrival time.

Rooms were spotless, showers and washrooms clean, and the lounge was comfortable. Key-card lockers in the room were a nice touch, and staff were friendly and helpful.”
9Verified guest“The cafe lady wasn’t exactly warm — true social butterfly. Also, no windows? Adds a distinctive touch to the suffocating atmosphere! And the staff’s English? It’s like a secret code we can all decipher together!”
