Avalon Palace

Top choice in Western Ukraine


Immaculate, 21st-century multistorey hotel near the train station and just 600m on foot from the city centre. Rooms are tastefully decorated, sheets are crisp and bathrooms studies in contemporary plumbing. A rare buffet breakfast is taken in the ground-floor restaurant, staff speak English and some rooms even have balconies with station views.
