Just returned from our short trip to Crimea. We stayed at the Dream Hotel. I booked the hotel about 2 weeks in advance (paying with the help of Yandex-money for the cost of living for one day). Unfortunately, at that time, a standard room (480 hryvnias, approximately 1900 rubles) remained only for three days, but already in Alushta it was possible to extend our visit for another day - the neighboring room of a higher category, two-room, was without guests that day, therefore we were offered it at the price of our standard - 500 hryvnia (instead of 800 for a suite).
The hotel is very nice both outside and inside. For me, one of the important factors when choosing a hotel is the design of the rooms and the view from the window. After reviewing a dozen or two mini-hotels in Alushta, I settled on the "Dream". Confident European 3 stars (or even 3+), a minimum of kitsch, the rooms are spacious and clean. When we arrived and saw our wonderful room in pink decoration (all rooms are individually styled and coloured), we regretted that we were only here for 3 days. The room turned out to be bigger and more beautiful than I expected, I was also pleasantly surprised that it was on the third floor (for some reason I thought it would be the second one). The room has a refrigerator, kitchen utensils and crockery for two people, a kettle, a hair dryer. Upon arrival - 2 bottles of mineral water and a set of toiletries (shampoo, soap, toilet paper). The room has 2 large "full-length" windows, wonderful balconies - overlooking two sides, it was possible to see both the sea and the mountains. We were lucky with the weather. In the evening there was neither wind nor insects, it was possible to dine outdoors, next to the fragrant cypress trees that grow near the hotel (by the way, good pizza is prepared in the pizzeria of the Massandra store, which is a minute's walk from the hotel). In the morning the sun rises from the sea, so it's also very beautiful (I personally like sunrises more than sunsets). In our first room, even from the bathroom, there was an interesting, colorful view from the window - the tiled roof of the house opposite, the dome of the church (as a kind of bonus, there may be morning chants and ringing of bells, but not every day : )).
The second suite (No. 8), in which we lived only a day, was very spacious, with two balconies, two TVs (one in each room). I especially liked the watercolor in the bedroom in this issue (a real one, not a reproduction), and in our first issue there was a cute dog rose by the same artist.

The hotel staff is good and friendly. There were no misunderstandings. One of the nice things about the hotel was the free Wi-Fi, but alas we didn't get a chance to test it. Maybe next time : )
Since we arrived in Crimea by car, the issue of parking was relevant for us. You can park your car in the parking lot on the territory of the Severnaya Dvina boarding house, 25 hryvnia per day (100 rubles). Although you can leave near the hotel (as we did on the last day).
In general, my choice turned out to be very successful, since the hotel is located in the center, not far from the embankment, and, at the same time, the place is relatively quiet (not many cars, cafes with music, noisy night walkers). Almost all hotel rooms have a good or excellent view from the windows (and walking around Alushta, I noticed that there are very few such hotels). And, in my opinion, "Dream" has an ideal price-quality ratio.
