Bakkara
Bakkara is a hotel housed in a vessel moored on the Dnipro River in Kyiv. The building features spacious rooms with large windows and balconies overlooking the water, a riverside restaurant, conference facilities, and secure parking for guests.
The vessel was converted from a working boat into a hotel several years ago and has since become a popular destination for travelers seeking a different experience. This transformation reflects how traditional river transport has evolved into modern accommodation.
The vessel is accessible by local transport or walking from nearby neighborhoods but sits somewhat away from the city center. Guests should be aware that sound insulation through balcony doors can be thin, and insects may be present on riverside balconies during warmer months.
The vessel offers berths for visitors who arrive by boat or yacht, making it a rare docking point for water vessels in Kyiv. The ship is securely anchored and remains stable even in windy weather, keeping the experience secure and steady.
