Apelsin Hotel is a fine hotel, two quiet blocks off Shevchenka Blvd., the main street with ATB supermarket, many different banks' ATMs, restaurants, Palace of Culture, and a minor bus station. Main bus station and railroad station require taxi to get to hotel, but about 40 UAH ($1 is 26 UAH) fare. Most front-desk clerks at the hotel speak English. The room was very nice, clean, with great bed and bathroom (shower cabinet did not leak). Free breakfast, all you can eat, wide choices. I ate 3 dinners there (20% discount for hotel guests), and the cooking was all right (good 2 nights, fair 1 night) with good service. When I left Cherkassy, my bus was at 10:30 PM, and the hotel staff let me wait from noon (check-out) until 9:30 PM in the lobby, plugging in my laptop -- typical nice treatment. I ate dinner in their restaurant again. Then the front desk lady called a taxi for me, to the bus station. I recommend this hotel, and I would be pleased to stay there again!
