This mid-range hotel set right in the historic centre of Lviv is excellent value for money (about 40 euros for a double room). There's free wifi throughout the hotel and you can indulge in a hearty breakfast in Cafe Wien downstairs, which includes delicious Austrian desserts. Yes - for breakfast!

An independent apartment rental agency with some fantastic flats in Lviv.
We stayed in one for four nights on Virmenska, it was beautiful and the pictures of the sight did not do it justice at all. The price was excellent value for such an atmospheric and central location.
We changed travel plans and stayed in Lviv again on our return journey and stayed in another of the agency's apartments on The Rynok. This was a modern airy apartment with a great view over the main square.
Both apartments were spacious and well decorated. They had TV, DVD and kitchens as well as a washing machine.
Svetlana, the company contact in Ukraine was very very helpful throughout and gave me some other tips for our trip into the Carpathians and Ivano Frankivsk.
The preferred method for payment of deposit was Western Union, but if you don't like that then I negotiated to use a company in the UK to pay by credit card.

The hotel is on a corner across from the statue to the Virgin Mary.
It was inexpensive - around 18 euros for a double room - clean, and they let me park my Honda Goldwing in the foyer.
In the central area of Lviv. On the corner opposite the statue
