The approach to the paths is a bit inconvenient. A large, spacious, clean, beautiful train station, not a few trains are met there at night. With an original covered platform, a very beautiful square in front of the entrance and a nearby pier.
A rocket, a bomb, a firecracker. In fact, I liked everything, the guys at customs are understanding, always if they miss something, sometimes I even shared with them what I was carrying and amster...
The most essential needs of the traveler will be met. Yandex told me that it is important for users to learn about the toilet, staff, parking, cafes and queues. So all this is in sufficient quantity, except for parking and queues. I only saw the queue at McDonald's opposite, but there are sockets there to charge the phone. At the train station, you can buy a SIM card at a newsstand, take a coronavirus test.
I have always liked and like the railway station in Kiev.And people are always kind and helpful.And it is very good that there is such a train station.
I liked it.... It's a very nice place. the train station , however , is a train station everywhere ... But there is something in it

It's a disgrace. A lot of drunks, homeless people, dirt. The waiting room is guarded by anyone. The excalator is turned off at night. Do I have to carry heavy suitcases up the Potemkin stairs?
Railway station. Without a PCR test, they are not allowed on the train, you can do it either at the train station or at the bus station nearby. The railway station is used to exit the metro to the right, the bus station to the left. At the bus station, you can do a PCR test in 20 minutes, they work around the clock.
A large convenient train station, lots of places for waiting passengers. There is a good catering infrastructure nearby. The temperature is measured at the entrance to the building.
The train station is normal. Please do not confuse the Central and Southern Railway stations - these are different exits.
The station has everything you need: cafes and restaurants, recreation areas, transport.
I recommend not to walk around the station idly, there are many places to relax, but annoying rums and homeless people will remind you of themselves regularly, as long as your wallet and phone are with you.
I was unlucky enough to visit the train station at night.It's just a flophouse!At first I didn't understand what kind of smell was standing around, but when I started looking around, I realized it too:There are no ordinary passengers, but instead there are homeless people in the waiting rooms, about 50 people.I went downstairs and, there, to the top, where the ticket offices were already found and ordinary passengers.Except there was nowhere to sit down.In short, I was very impressed.Let's face it, it's not exactly pleasant.I didn't want to pay attention to the building itself and the like anymore."I wish the train would come sooner."That's all I was thinking about.
A good old train station with small waiting rooms, from where trains go to warmer climes.
Parking is available, but because of the "European" it is better to come here from the street, rather than drive in from the Garden (pain)
Walking out to the trains is like in the USSR, only for high-passable full-fledged people, no amenities, everything is across the street, and because of the "great struggle against terrorism" you will still have to go partially through narrow old doors and waiting rooms, ordinary civilians will not be allowed on the platform directly (although the cart drivers walk calmly)
The train station is a good one. The rules are idiotic, and all the innovations look idiotic too. Since the late 90s, it has only become more uncomfortable.
Very clean. There is a lot of free space. Polite police officers. Homeless people are not allowed to stay overnight in the waiting room. The arrival and departure of trains are announced on time and from which track. The speech is clear and competent.
This is terrible!!!! This is Kiev, gentlemen! Kiev! The capital of Ukraine!
The train station is scary!!!!! There are no other words!!!! Homeless people, dirt, stench, lack of service and basic amenities! The waiting room on the ground floor is in semi-darkness, the neighbor's face is almost invisible, it is unrealistic to read - they save electricity!!! The seats are metal, worn out, located around the columns. In the corners there are two fenced-off small areas (in any sense of the word), in which children under the age of 14 can be located. There is a TV in these areas!!!!! 😯
The second floor is waiting rooms with wooden seats and a huge number of homeless people!!
The stench is incredible!!!
In general, homeless people sleep all over the station in all corners and nooks! Or, for example, near the cash register, right on the floor... It's purple for the police and the security service! I feel terribly sorry for these people!
The atmosphere of the post-apocalypse - METRO 2033☠ D.Glukhovsky
The toilet is better not to go in!🤢 Ascent to the second floor from the main hall is possible via an escalator, BUT it is turned off for a break from 12:00 to 13:00 and at night and here HELL begins👹 To get to the second floor, from where there are exits to all tracks and platforms (with the exception of the first path, to it the exit from the main building) You need to overcome 6 flights of stairs!! With heavy bags and suitcases, this is a disastrous business! And it's like death to the elderly!!! At the same time, none of the staff will even think to help - they all don't care!! But it's part of the song! It will continue when you have to go down to the platform from the second floor😈 Even if you are lucky and you went up on the escalator, you will go down a narrow staircase on which two people barely disperse!!And on this ladder, right there, people are climbing off the platform! And just imagine the unfortunate elderly people with luggage in this hell!! Here the young and strong swear and fall🤬🤧
And now imagine how people with disabilities can move there?!
And with such a train station (I'm not talking about the city, the most beautiful city that once turned into ruins and garbage), people want to go to EUROPE!!! What kind of Europe is there? It is necessary to reach Belarus first, and then think about Europe! The sadness is complete....
Of the advantages:
*There is a 24-hour storage room underground.
*The toilet is free if you show a ticket.
*Mac and KFC are nearby, but they work from 5 a.m.
*Near metro, suburban and bus stations
Disadvantages:
(at 4 a.m.)
* there are a lot of homeless people in the transition between the central and southern parts of the station.
*I would like a paid waiting room in this transition
Trains in all directions, good transport interchange (metro, buses, minibuses, city train). Be sure to keep an eye on your belongings and pockets everywhere, there is a high probability of theft, including in the subway.
Everything is fine👌😍
I really love Kiev❤❤❤❤❤
There are few places on the ground floor sitting for them to wait.
It is inconvenient to go down and up to the trains-there is no elevator. And with luggage and suitcases on the stairs, well, it's very hard😮😮😮
The station is beautiful and large. There are many places to wait. It is always clear where to look for which trains. Excellent communication with the city: bus, tram, minibuses, metro. There are a lot of places where you can have a snack and it is quite tasty, and most importantly it is not expensive.
What can I say- ce Europe!
Convenient location, three train stations in one place (old, new and suburban). Bus to Boryspil.
Inexpensive and very informative city tours on a comfortable bus.

The station is beautiful and clean, everything seems to be fine. But the benches on the second floor were removed before there were more of them. Having no place to sit down to wait for the train is especially difficult with children. We were driving on 08/20/18. We had to go down to the waiting room with heavy suitcases. At the same time, the escalator did not work in the morning.In short, everything is done for the people. People are outraged, but it's no use. But in the waiting room for passengers with children, the guard slept so well.
A typical train station, nothing out of the ordinary. But be careful, there are a lot of pickpockets, it's good that there was nothing important in the outer pocket of the backpack, but by the time we reached the stop, 2 pockets were already open, I was surprised that I didn't notice it at all.
Therefore, you can not be distracted while you go to the exit
Cool shawarma on the central edge of the box if you go to the subway, people who are busy, what's wrong with you?

A normal ordinary railway station. There is a place to eat. The queues at the ticket offices are always long, so I recommend buying a ticket online and there are people at the Internet ticket office, but the service is very fast. And yet- at McDonald's nearby, there is always a toilet, charging for devices / appliances, waiting until the train, excellent coffee.
Easy road for you!
I often go to my hometown, Kiev. And the station itself is admired for its cleanliness and order, and polite police officers (security officers) who will always answer and tell you how to find the right platform and other questions. There are many free places where you can relax and drink tea (there are many metal benches available).
The review is more for the station administration. The scoreboard is only on the ground floor and people are standing in the lobby and waiting for information in their direction. This is quite inconvenient, especially when you are on the second floor with your belongings. You may not hear the audio message. It is possible to consider such an option as a minitablo in waiting areas. It would be very convenient for passengers. Thank you))
The Grand railway station of Kiev.
It's very stuffy, there are few ticket offices open during rush hour, which is frustrating.
There is no way to get up or down on the platform in a stroller with a small child - there is no elevator, where there are escalators - they often do not work.
There are police with dogs on duty, they keep order and the situation in general.
There is a large waiting room, as well as a waiting room a la "business class".
The capital, it could be better. There are paid and non-paid waiting rooms. There are shops and a market within walking distance. There are no outlets for charging phones in toll-free halls.
Outside, everything is grandiosely bright and beautiful, the entrances for vehicles are competently organized. You go inside - the pungent smell of a public toilet and everything is like in the 90s, nothing has changed since then.
It's not a bad train station. There is a cafe, you can have a snack. There are many ticket offices. Trains are going to all ends. It's a little dirty. Theft is rampant. Homeless people.
The station is large, an old beautiful building, but there are no elevators.There is a queue at the ticket office.And the most negative thing is very, well, how not to offend Kiyan, not very clean.There are a lot of homeless-looking people near the station, which of course is annoying
There are a lot of homeless people, the staff is friendly, the police are always sitting in the waiting room, it feels like they have no other job, the VIP room is 200 UAH. The hall is simple 50 UAH. The deputy is homeless for free and there is nowhere to sit
The Central station, where I arrived by train from Moscow. inside, everything is quite shabby and Soviet-style, outside the building makes a more pleasant impression!

I don't really like Central Station. They often hang around not the most pleasant-looking person. I advise you to visit the Southern railway station. It is located on the other side and you can do the same thing there as on the central one, only the atmosphere is much more pleasant and there are usually fewer people.
The location is convenient. I didn't really like that the exit to the platforms and, accordingly, the ascent from the platforms is carried out by stairs. There are no elevators for people with limited mobility. And it's inconvenient to carry a huge suitcase up or down the stairs.
There are few seats in the waiting room on the ground floor.And so the station is very large and spacious.You can sit in a cafe and it's not very expensive, thanks for not raising prices too much.🙄☺
The train station is like a train station. Fussy, running and sometimes late. There are old and worn sofas in the superior rooms. WIFI is slow and crashes frequently. Meals are organized according to the principle of small cafes. This is the main entrance. But the Southern part is already more modern, better, fresher. Everything looks neat and the train station looks like a train station)
I came in 19.20, which did not change the waiting rooms paid 40-80 hryvnia, but free on the transition to the platforms, as in the floor freezer and mixed with homeless people. Shame on you!!! The capital is all in g... e, no police, there's a guard running around at the station, chasing chuzhy homeless people, the whole territory is divided......
Compared to Moscow, it is very dirty, there are long queues for tickets, there are only two toilets and they are inconveniently located. There are large waiting rooms, kiosks with food and coffee on the forecourt, but prices bite.
The building could use some repairs, this applies to everything. Increase the number of seats in the waiting room, make the toilet free like in the whole civilized world, although everyone runs to McDonald's opposite.
There are a lot of people, there are few places to relax, an ugly paid toilet without toilets, it is problematic to go with a child, children ask what it is and how to go there. Huge stairs, not adapted for people with limited mobility, the elderly, people with large luggage. It is difficult to get on the platform.

All exits for persons are not equipped with escalators. Passengers carry suitcases up long stairs. The persons themselves are low. It is very inconvenient to enter and exit the carriages, especially with things
It is dirty and cold (drafts), there are waiting rooms at the exits to the platforms (open), stairs to the platforms without ramps, narrow. The toilet was visited on the 2nd floor, it was relatively clean, the entrance was 6 UAH.

I was at the train station in May 2018. To say that I'm in shock is just to keep silent! We arrived at 22:00, and the train at 5:00 and this time we decided to wait in the waiting room of the railway. The first thing we saw at the entrance was a bunch of homeless people and police who don't touch each other!!! Then we came across the fact that all waiting rooms are paid, even if you have a ticket. We paid 80gr - we went in, and there it turns out to be an overnight stay for elite homeless people, so we sat in the van until the train.......
There are a lot of gypsies, they tried to steal the phone 2 times, they are clamped from all sides.
The exterior facade of the station is very beautiful, especially in the evening.
When toilets became paid for passengers with tickets, I did not understand.
The train station is cool, of course, but first of all it's easy to get lost and go to the wrong side of the station
There are a lot of homeless people and gypsies who live there so simply
It's a little dirty sometimes
