To begin with, I ask readers to pay attention to the number of reviews from people who write these reviews. Many people have one review each, I just don’t trust them !!!
The Fantasia hotel itself is really good. Excellent renovation. Large, spacious rooms, a large bathroom with a hairdryer. The hotel has a pump room, a small (15 meters) pool - (very chloride water, glasses will be given at the reception at your request).
Nice restaurant with really tasty food. The average price for two on the menu (120 - 200 gr. ), a set lunch of 80 gr. for one, breakfasts are included in the accommodation. Gym (surprisingly paid -30 gr. ). sanatorium. then if you need a doctor, you need to order it.

Of the minuses - of course, the lack of an elevator, if you are not on the fifth floor, then you quickly get used to it. I was able to go for a shower-massage, there was no water. By the way, a very good massage therapist works, I went to massages a lot, there is someone to compare with. But perhaps everything is really GOOD and there are few minuses !!!
You know everything would be fine, a good hotel, mineral-healing water, procedures, BUT !! ! The fact is that in the valley where Fantasia and the mass of other hotels are located, there is a crazy dense building, and everyone is heated not by gas, but by firewood and coal. And the whole valley, almost constantly, if there is no wind, in a light haze !! ! The smell of burning haunted me for 8 out of 10 days!! ! It's all over the valley! I was unpleasantly surprised by the bad air!!!
The smell left only if the breeze rose, and this is out of 10 days, only two days with clean air!
Probably not worth going to the valley during the heated season, if you are not annoyed by such a smell.
More or less clean air on the mountain (the territory of the old Soviet sanatorium), and behind the hotel, but there is nothing else besides individual cottages.
The bottom line is that the hotel is good, but I won’t go there during the heated season!
