Hotel Kalyna

Western Ukraine


Cheap, cheerful and brand new, the well-kept Kalyna is just about the best place in Kremenets to zip open your pack. Rooms are surprisingly well furnished, if a touch spartan, and the staff are friendly. There's even a decent restaurant on the premises. Located very near the train station, so noise from passing night trains could be an issue.
