отдых в Ялте-Интурист rest in Yalta-Intourist

Last autumn pleased us with such warm and sunny days that my friends and I, two families with small children, decided to go to the South Coast for four days in mid-November. The main criterion for choosing a hotel was the presence of a swimming pool, the provision of baby cots and the proximity of civilization. Therefore, it was unanimously decided to stay at the Yalta-Intourist hotel. Despite the off-season, the hotel turned out to be almost completely full due to the seminarians who arrived, there was no choice of rooms, and we got a room on the fifth floor with a view of Yalta, and our friends - with a view on the back side. We took the usual standard (not economy). The view from the balcony, of course, was very pleased, although they say the higher the better. As for the room itself, neither we nor our friends had it and approximately did not correspond to the photos of the rooms posted on the official website of the hotel. There was also a feeling that the room was cleaned somehow very carelessly, hastily - dust in the corners of the furniture and imperfectly clean carpet. Everything is very old - only new wallpapers are pasted, in the room there are dark dark brown panels, a built-in brown wardrobe on half a wall, on the other hand, in the wall near the bed above the panels there is half a door (probably, it was once two rooms with an interior door) of this same dark color. The bathroom itself has not been renovated since Soviet times. Although the room has everything you need - a small fridge under the table (it was a little annoying with its buzz at night), a TV, a comfortable double bed, a crib with linens was provided for the child, hot water was constantly available. Another disadvantage is that the audibility in the room is simply amazing, the conversations of the neighbors were completely audible and the noise from the corridor too. that sometimes, having completely lost all patience, I had to go down the stairs with the carriage. As for breakfast, we were very pleased, the choice is simply huge, everything is replenished in a timely manner, in general, the restaurant workers are just great. We ate so much that we didn’t feel like having lunch. For small children, the restaurant has high chairs and there is a choice of food even for one-year-old children.
Every evening we went with strollers to the Yalta embankment, the road took only 20 minutes and did not bother at all, but walking around the Massandra Park didn’t work out - there are dirt paths, a lot of stairs, descents and ascents, so after a short time I was swelled from dragging wheelchairs through unsuitable terrain, returned back to the hotel. But you can walk with a stroller on the beach, there is a convenient elevator.
I was also very pleased with the pool, and it should be noted - the only one of all the pools of other boarding houses and sanatoriums of the Crimea, in which I was (and I was in many), where they do not save on heating and if they say that the water temperature is +28, then so it is there is. Swimming in such water when the air is +17 is just bliss.

In general, I really liked the rest, the positive moments did not make it possible to dwell on the negative ones, the weather was just wonderful and, as always, I did not want to leave. I think in the future we will come to this hotel again, at least the desire to return here remains...
P. S. I wrote in such detail in order to help when choosing a place to stay - maybe some moment will be decisive for those who decide on a hotel.
