Lesbian, gay, bisexuals, and transgender (LGBT) persons in Ukraine may face legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents. Noncommercial, same-sex sexual activity between consenting adults in private is legal in Ukraine, but prevailing social attitudes are often described as being intolerant of LGBT people and households headed by same-sex couples are not eligible for any of the same legal protections available to opposite-sex couples.

Lviv is a city in western Ukraine, around 70 kilometers from the border with Poland. Traces of its Polish and Austro-Hungarian heritage are evident in its architecture, which blends Central and Eastern European styles with those of Italy and Germany.

The only thing there is no parking at the hotel. But we parked our car at the backstreet of the hotel. And light in the bathroom reminds light in hospital somewhat. The rest was great.

The bedrooms are very good , spacious with comfortable beds and good bathrooms . The restaurant and public rooms are delightful being decorated with William Morris and other Arts and Crafts design wallpaper . Furniture and paintings are well chosen too . The rooftop bar is a delight , providing a panoramic view of the Old Town of Lviv.

It is in easy walking distance to the centre of the old town and also lots of restaurants and bars at the back.

What a charming, beautiful, well appointed hotel, on a quiet street in the heart of just where you want to be in this lovely city.

The hotel is small, personal, with an eye to detail and so beautifully appointed and decorated with William Morris wallpapers and fabrics.

The breakfast was as delicious as the room was inviting and cozy, and dinner on the terrace, which we enjoyed twice, was delicious with an exquisite view overlooking the charming old town of Lviv. To top it off, they have a particularly well-versed sommelier and an extensive and varied wine list. The Swiss Hotel provided for all our needs and we look forward to returning.

This hotel is excellent. It is situated in the centre of old part of Lviv. There is available low cost secured parking place for your car if you come with it. Hotel is furnished with quit new but old faction furniture, so you feel like you are in some palace or castle. We liked it very much.

Prices of the hotel and food there are very low because of low value of Ukraine money comparing to Euro.
