Who stays here long
People on a work trip that stretched. People who moved to Kyiv and are flat hunting but want to sleep properly starting tonight. People who work remotely and came for a month. People who come back every time they are in the city again.
The format
You book an individual bed in a shared women’s or men’s room. There are no private rooms and no ensuite bathrooms.
The hostel has 1 separate shared shower and 1 separate shared toilet. There may be a wait at peak times.
The rooms, kitchen and bathroom are cleaned every day.
Bed linen is changed after every guest and once a week during a longer stay.
What it costs
For stays of 7 nights or more, the guide rate is 250 UAH per bed per night. Select your dates to check the total and availability for the whole stay.
Guide-grid examples: 7 nights — 1 750 UAH, 30 nights — 7 500 UAH per bed. That is 30 nights, not a calendar month, and not a promise that a bed is free. The form shows the exact total.
How this differs from renting a room
An honest comparison with the thing people actually compare it to:
| Renting a room | Dja Hostel | |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit | Usually required, often a month’s rent | None |
| Utilities | Billed separately from rent | All included in the nightly price |
| Lease | Usually several months or a year | None. Book any period |
| Minimum term | Usually several months | One night |
| Furniture, appliances, cookware | Whatever you get | Kitchen, washing machine, dryer and cookware in place |
| Cleaning | Yours | Rooms and common areas daily |
| If your plans change | A lost deposit or a broken lease | Cancel without a fee |
| Privacy | A room of your own | A shared room and a shared bathroom |
The renting column describes the usual terms of the market, not a guarantee of ours — an individual landlord may offer something else. The Dja column is our actual terms.
Extending your stay
Want to stay longer? Not a problem, as long as the bed is still free for the new dates. The total is recalculated for the new full stay length.
Mark your whole stay in the form up front, and you will see the exact total right away with no surprises later.
Payment
Pay in cash in UAH or by bank transfer. There is no online payment on the website. No deposit is required. No prepayment is required.
If you leave early, a recalculation and refund for unused nights may be agreed with the owner, depending on how long you actually stayed. A refund is not guaranteed.
What to weigh before a long stay
- Quiet hours are 22:00–07:00. The kitchen and bathroom are shared, so everyday routines need to work for your roommates too.
- No alcohol or drugs inside the hostel, and no weapons.
- The washer and dryer cost 100 UAH, detergent included.
