Three young couples traveled from 11/27/11 to 12/04/11. HAVE A GREAT REST!
Special thanks to the hotel manager. Very reasonable, pleasant and cheerful person!
Location and territory:
Super! 10 minutes by taxi from the railway station in Svalyava. Transfer to the hotel is free, they meet you right at the train car. Silence, calmness. The territory is small, but VERY beautiful, well-groomed. On the territory - in addition to buildings and a pump room with mineral water - a huge barbecue oven (barbecue was fried on the last day; the administrator organized a fire for 50 UAH, firewood and skewers were available), gazebos, parking, security room.
Civilization:

A 5-minute walk along the road in the direction of the highway is a “patch”, where there is a spontaneous market (mushrooms, fruits, berries, pickles, jams, honey, etc. ), representatives of tour agencies, a tavern with wonderful desserts and coffee, pizzeria-cafe "3x3" (special perspective, see in the paragraph "Food"), a hairdresser, a couple of shops, a branch of Privat-Bank. Up the stairs to the sanatorium "Sunny Transcarpathia" - a market for souvenirs, clothes, etc.

Rooms and service
- excellent. We lived in rooms of the "Standard" category in the olive building on the 2nd floor. View from the window - on the field and mountains. In the room: a very comfortable double bed, bedside tables, wardrobes, a dressing table with a large mirror and a chair, TV, a set of dishes: cups, glasses, plates, forks, teaspoons, a decanter, a tray. There is an electric kettle and a refrigerator. Combined bathroom: toilet and shower or bath, hair dryer, a couple of sachets of gel-shampoo, liquid soap dispenser. There is always hot and cold water. Floor heating. Heating is regulated. Room cleaning - daily. Change of sets of snow-white soft towels - every day.
The hotel has an indoor pool (small, but you can swim), a sauna, a lounge with TV, 2 billiard tables - professional and ordinary Russian.
NUTRITION:
Hotel restaurant
In the hotel restaurant you can order complex meals: breakfast - 35 UAH per person. or breakfast, lunch, dinner - 120 UAH / person / day, but we did not want to be tied to the standard menu and time frames, given the fact that they have breakfast from 08.30 to 09.30, and we slept until 10 o'clock on vacation .
PROS: The interior is very nice and cozy. Spacious, elegant and tasteful. The menu is varied. The dishes are delicious, I really liked the salinity and fruit salads. There is an opportunity to sing karaoke.
NOW CONS: Small portions.
Very long service!!!! ! Juice and vodka were carried for about 15 minutes. Then another 10 minutes they waited for salinity. Salads are prepared for at least half an hour. Hot - more than an hour. There were 6 of us - five had already eaten everything they ordered, and the sixth had not brought ANYTHING yet! It is not right. There are general standards that must be followed. I ask the management to pay special attention to this! Now cocktails - instead of the well-known Mojito with lime and mint, they brought a yellowish liquid with a lot of ice, moreover, an incomprehensible taste.
Pizzeria-cafe "3x3"

Deserves ONLY the best reviews! The interior is ordinary, simple, made of wood. The menu is varied, Ukrainian national cuisine! Portions are 2 times larger than in the hotel restaurant, delicious, simply divine, somehow very homely, while the prices are 2 times less. I especially recommend Lozi meat dishes, also dumplings with cheese in a pot, borscht soups, salads, and pancakes with cottage cheese - bliss. The pizzeria is open from 15:00 to 22:00. The choice of pizzas is varied, and you can also create your own pizza by adding ingredients to your liking! And the dough is just a fairy tale, thin and tasty! Pizza is cooked in front of you and baked in the oven. Service is fast and imperceptible. Special thanks to the waiter Andrey for promptness and sociability! The cafe has its own balcony with tables, in addition, you can smoke there.
Of the minuses - the lack of pickles and fruits (we ordered them at the hotel restaurant).
Kolyba
Located in the forest, on the opposite side of the road (500 m walk along the road to the forest). We didn't eat there, just drank coffee. I really liked the strong Ukrainian flavor in the interior, in the clothes of the waiters, the design of the bar counter. Prices are slightly (20 percent) more expensive than in "3x3", the menu is varied, Ukrainian national cuisine. On the territory - gazebos, houses, swings, fountains. Very picturesque.
TOURS:
We took an excursion to Voevodino (we rode horses and caught trout) - from 14-00 to 18-00
We went to the Shypit waterfall, rode the lift in Volovets (1300 m), visited Lake Synevyr (indescribable beauty), sat in the local Kolyba not far from the lake (from 10-00 to 19-00)
Our last trip was to the thermal waters in Beregovo and wine tasting from the cellars of a private winemaker Karl Karlovich Shosh. I will say one thing - DEFINITELY RIDE! The water is unique, the tasting is just SOMETHING! Get an incredible charge of positive and buy real high-quality Transcarpathian wine!
So, comments:
1) Service in the hotel restaurant leaves much to be desired! (see "Nutrition")
2) Very early (at 8 am) the corridors are cleaned, and since the soundproofing of the rooms is imperfect, sometimes we woke up from the corresponding noises.
USEFUL TIPS:
1) Be sure to take slippers with you - and it is convenient to walk around the building, both in the pool and in the billiard room.
2) Do not forget to thank those people who you especially liked - give them a tip (10 hryvnias will be enough in a cafe) for us, this is so, a penny, but for them, with an average salary of 1200 hryvnias per month, this is very important and Nice. In addition, it is these people who can make your stay much more pleasant and comfortable.

3) If you need to buy meat, sausages, smoked lard or homemade wine - contact the locals, the same Victor and Nikolai who organize excursions (I am attaching Victor's business card as a photo to this review
5) Those who want to go on an excursion to Budapest should take their passport with them - visas are issued here, on the spot.
6) The hotel has plans to start building a swimming pool on the street 20*40m. So it will be great!
RESULT: a wonderful vacation, I RECOMMEND for a company of cheerful, positive-minded people! And also for those who want solitude, tranquility and tranquility!
When WE were leaving, everyone knew us, both in the hotel and on the patch! ; -)
