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.
They have one thing in common: they do not need somewhere to crash, they need a base to live from — with a kitchen, quiet nights and no weekly moves.
You can stay a week, a month or longer as long as a bed is free for the whole period. The total depends on your dates, and the form will show the exact number. There are no seasonal surcharges.
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.
This is a hostel, not a flat and not an aparthotel. You live in a shared room: a four-bed women’s room or an eight-bed men’s room. A private room or your own bathroom does not exist here — not for a night, not for a year.
Rooms are cleaned daily and linen is changed weekly on a long stay. That is the standard routine, not something you request.
What it costs
The price is per bed, from 230–350 UAH a night. The only thing that moves that number is length: the longer you stay, the cheaper the night.
The rate by length of stay
The price is per bed. A week already costs less than a night, a month less again:
| Length of stay | Per night |
|---|---|
| 1-6 nights | 350 UAH |
| 7-29 nights | 280 UAH |
| 30 nights and up | 230 UAH |
These are guide rates per bed. The booking server calculates the exact total for your dates — what you see in the form is what you pay. There are no seasonal surcharges, and the room does not change the price.
What is included and what is billed separately
Bed linen, towels, slippers, the shared kitchen, Wi-Fi and air conditioning in every room are included in the stay.
The washer and dryer cost 100 UAH, detergent included.
The hostel has 1 separate shared shower and 1 separate shared toilet. There may be a wait at peak times.
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.
The simplest approach is to enter the whole period you plan to stay in the form from the start. Then you see the final total and get no surprises along the way.
Choose dates in the booking form. The server shows available beds and the exact total before you enter contact details. The total depends on stay length; the server quote is always final (no seasonal surcharges).
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.
There is no cancellation or no-show fee.
Paid unused nights are not refunded after an early departure.
Who this works for
A long stay in a hostel is not for everyone. It works if:
- A bed in a shared women’s or men’s room suits you.
- You are comfortable using a shared kitchen and bathroom and observing quiet hours from 22:00 to 07:00.
- You want a calm base for sleep, work or daily routines rather than a party venue.
- You prefer to check the full stay and decide once the server has returned the exact total.
What to weigh before a long stay
A month in a shared room is not the same thing as two nights. Think about this honestly before you decide:
- You need a private room, an ensuite bathroom or completely self-contained accommodation.
- Quiet hours, a possible wait for a shared shower or coordinating everyday routines with other guests would not work for you.
- You expect a party-hostel format, a guaranteed bed without a date check or one fixed price for every period.
