Quite a nice place, it corresponds to its 3 stars.
Rooms: lived in an ordinary 2-bed room without a balcony. The rooms are neat, very comfortable mattresses, but the beds are a bit narrow. Specially booked a room with two beds, but had to move. The bathroom makes a good impression - a spacious bath, modern plumbing, fluffy towels. True, it was not without punctures characteristic of 3 stars. The towel dryer was cold. Later it turned out that they turned off all the dryers on the riser. In the presence of a SPA center, where you run several times a day, it is very inconvenient, there is nowhere to dry mountains of swimsuits and towels. Naturally, like people hardened by Soviet service, they dried on a radiator, but the room immediately and inexorably took on the appearance of a hostel.
SPA-center. This is from the series: I'll forgive everything. Swimming pool with hydromassage, sauna, Turkish bath. I do not want to leave. At the entrance you can take towels, sheets and, in my opinion, even terry bathrobes. There is a sports bar in the SPA center, but only drinks are on the menu. If you need something more substantial, bring it with you. Waiters at the pool do not serve. If you want to order something, you need to go to the bar, which is located at the entrance to the SPA center. You have to pay in cash on the spot. So do not forget, going to the pool, take money with you. And in general, the system for recording expenses per room with the possibility of subsequent calculation, as far as I understand, is not developed.

Those who want privacy can rent a sauna with a jacuzzi. Expensive: 500 UAH. in 2 hours, even by Kiev standards, it is noticeable. But in the jacuzzi, you can, having previously signed up, go without visiting the sauna for 50 UAH. 30 minutes. Jacuzzi is worth it: a huge tub with flashing lights, which can fit the whole company. But then you have to pay not for the whole bath, but for each swimmer 50 UAH.
Restaurants. The hotel has 3 restaurants: exotic Japanese and Thai Hotei, European Escher and Coffee Studio pub. The menu is extensive and quite tasty, beautiful design. But for smokers there is one big drawback, which was critical for us. We planned to extend our stay after 04.01. , but due to constant discomfort in non-smoking restaurants, we went home. They smoke only in Hotei, which, let me remind you, is a Japanese and Thai restaurant. Not everyone uses this exotic. Escher and Coffee Judge are completely non-smoking. As a result, it is impossible to sit comfortably all evening to eat, talk, and dance. You constantly face a dilemma: either eat what you want, in a quick way, like in a canteen, or go to Hotei to choose something edible on the menu for half an hour, try to use it, but then calmly relax all evening, drinking wine and smoking cigarettes. Restaurants are not "friends" with each other: you cannot, for example, order food from Escher and drinks from Hotei in order to relax where it is convenient. In the "Coffee Studio" in general, I had to face the fact that in the cold I had to go outside to smoke.
This distribution of smoking places is completely incomprehensible. The area of ​ ​ the restaurants makes it possible to divide each of them into smoking and non-smoking areas.
With quite Kiev prices in restaurants (slightly above the average level in Kiev, and by Kamyanets-Podilskyi standards - prohibitive), such an attempt to "take care of the health of customers" is puzzling. It is very reminiscent of a pioneer camp, but the rest there was much cheaper. The need to constantly invent some kind of maneuvers for your own money creates discomfort, which spoils the impression of excellent cuisine and the beauty of the interior. The situation is saved only by the professionalism of the staff, which allows you to find acceptable compromises with smoking clients. By the way, I would especially like to thank the administrator of the Escher restaurant, Irina, for her professionalism, courtesy and individual approach to visitors.

As a result of this "fight against smoking" loses profit, first of all, the hotel itself. We not only ate and drank much less than we were capable of : ), ate in the city, but also left a few days ahead of schedule. Restaurants are half empty, and often ("Escher") and completely empty.
Entertainment. During our stay there was a New Year's Eve in Escher with discos in Hotei and in the lobby, a beer party in the Coffee Studio, an 80s disco in Escher, excursions around the city and the surrounding area. We did not go on excursions, but we attended social events. Accustomed to rich programs with mass entertainers abroad, they were somewhat surprised at the absence of animators and actors during parties in "7 Days". But that didn't stop the fun at all. And I liked the disco of the 80s in general. It turned out that we were alone there, so we were even allowed to sing songs.
Parking. Comfortable large yard with lockable gates. But the gates are opened manually. It turns out a joke: to call in, you have to leave the car in front of the gate, go to the hotel and ask the guards to open it.
General impression. Quite European modern comfortable hotel, not very pretentious. Service fanatics and hardcore smokers will not do, but the rest will enjoy it.
