There are all the necessary services: security guards keeping order, luggage storage, coffee, newsstand, McDonald's nearby, etc.
In general, a normal business point of departure, transfer
It was 11.11.2019, it feels like I got either into a landfill or into the last century!!! Dirt, it's disgusting to go to the toilet and this is the central station!!! The currency traders are completely fucked up! For $ 1, they gave 20 hryvnia at the rate of 24.50, some angry people, dissatisfied that they would not ask, answer with rudeness... The waiting room is not for visitors, but for homeless people, sleeping anywhere! There's a stink all around, you just can't breathe - it's a dump, not a train station!!!
Shame on the capital of Ukraine for hosting tourists from different countries in such a barn!!! Dirt, garbage, inconveniences and bombs with money changers - this is the impression left from exploring the Central bus Station in Kiev. The cashiers are unkempt, unfriendly, incompetent, the hall is uncomfortable, dark, smelly, there are few benches, the territory is catastrophically small, the asphalt is broken, the curbs are high. There is no infrastructure. There is no one to turn to. Shanghai and total mayhem. The most terrible train station in the capital!
Bus station of the "bottom" level. Dirt, everything is broken, ruined. The toilet is trash. But on the other hand, this bus station prepares first-time visitors that the city will continue to be basically the same - dirty, piles of garbage, broken facades, curbs, pits. But the people are good))
It's just a nightmare when compared even with small bus stations in Russia. Peron is dirty, there is a lot of garbage, two urns were burning and no one pays attention to it. Everyone is smoking by the buses, the smoke is in a column. There are just holes in the floor in the toilet!!!! When buying tickets, they are served quickly, there is payment by Russian cards.

Of the pros: relatively sociable and competent employees, they did not leave without attention, of the cons, a paid and scoop toilet,catering about nothing because of McDonald's nearby, most likely, and also stable people have situations when when they bought non-existent places and spend the night on the street because of this, it is most likely because of a worthless organization cooperation and feedback between drivers, contractors and the station itself, so keep in mind)

And this is called the central bus station in Kiev? It's just terrible! The train station itself is terrible inside! I do not recommend staying here at all, especially if you arrived at night. This station is being closed for the night! Wait where you want, no one cares! There are a lot of homeless people, drunks, and crazy people wandering around. And be prepared for the fact that the "local mafia" in the form of carriers, which sends its people to literally monitor your every move, will be ready to "rip off" 500 hryvnia to the railway station or even more to Boryspil airport. The currency exchange rate is simply amazing with greed and arrogance. In general, terrible impressions.
And this is the CENTRAL bus STATION??!! Are you kidding me??! The central bus station of the country's capital, inside and out, looks worse than in some regional center... there is dirt and debris all around. The toilet is just miserable, even going in there is a rush. There is no normal cafe, except that McDonald's is nearby. A terrible impression 🤬
Was in transit. I needed a pharmacy.-- I didn't find it.. Sovdepovsky toilet 5 gr. stinky. While you open the faucet of the washbasin, you will collect all the germs of Ukraine.There is a lot of garbage around the station. It's a shame for the capital. They could not buy a Kiev cake.They just don't sell them. The station is clean, the staff is friendly. So judge.
-: A very old building in need of renovation and modern equipment.
+: There are spacious storage rooms, cheapness, everything you need is within walking distance.
Today, this is only one of the platforms for buses departing / arriving in Kiev. If you come by car to escort / meet someone, it is difficult to park. As a plus, there is a metro nearby.
I have not seen such dirt and devastation for a long time. There is practically no lighting, and microwaves for heating questionable food are 100 years old in the snack bar. Drunks or homeless people sleep right on the benches. Only the wires remained of the wall clock.The horror!!!!!!!!!!
Terrible train station!!! It's cold, there are no amenities. It's dirty and smells like a dumpster. The linoleum is torn and everything is stumbling out of it.
There is no heating, it is cold and dirty. The toilet is in terrible condition, there are many incomprehensible characters persistently offering trips at inflated prices. Overall, a very unpleasant impression
Dear residents and guests of the capital!!!! Do not buy bus tickets to the airport.Podolsk, which departs at 8:40 (at the bus station they do not specify who the carrier is, they only give a mobile phone number), since things disappear from the luggage compartment, and as it turns out, no one is responsible for this. So when my sister arrived at her destination, she found herself with a one-and-a-half-year-old child without a bag of things. If you need to go in this direction, I advise you to take your luggage to the bus cabin, or get off at each stop and make sure that your bag does not "leave". Question: "What are we paying money for? How can you sell tickets at the ticket office of the bus station, and tell that we are not responsible, contact the carrier, and at the same time give a mobile phone number whose subscriber is on vacation abroad and cannot speak?"They are not allowed to enter the bus with a large bag. "It seems that the driver is at one with the thieves, because it is very convenient – neither the driver nor the carrier company have any responsibility.
The bus station is weak. I expected more from the central station of the country's capital. There are few waiting places, it is dark. In general, such a thing
