This summer we decided to have a rest for the first time in the Carpathians.
The best recommendation of the hotel is its name - "Admiral-SPA", mountains and sea in one bottle, but in fact only "pshik".
We arrived in Slavsky at six in the morning. From the transfer is provided by the hotel for 80 UAH. , kindly refused - two kilometers of track, expensive. The prices of local taxi drivers in the AAZs (UAZ - the property of the Soviet car industry) are similar, but it is possible to agree.
We had to look for staff at the hotel. Minutes later, 10 calls to the administrator, called the security guard, who is part-time and the receptionist, and pool cleaner, and gardener, and handyman with a constant train of alcohol.
As expected, there were no free rooms. We had to wait for the administrator, drinking snuff on the terrace and enjoying the local natural beauty.
Administrator Luba was friendly until we paid for the entire stay.

After that, the fines for violating the rules, which are posted in all possible places of the hotel (in the pool only in a hat, their products are prohibited on the territory, access to the pool only until 17:00, swimming in the "lake" is prohibited, etc. ). ) Not a hotel, but a solid bulletin board!
Our standard room was very small, although quite clean and well-groomed. Instead of air conditioning dormer window 30 * 30, so the heat is unbearably suffocating. Clean up in two cases - if you ask after eviction. Never lose the keys! There are no duplicates in the hotel!
Double ("three-course") food is included in the price, but if for breakfast you do not eat buckwheat with liver and pickles called "salad", and for dinner Olivier (from cucumbers that are not eaten in the morning), I recommend Filvarok "ten minutes walk. Breakfasts, for example, there are several (CHOICE !!
), prices are lower, the face of the waiters is simpler and there is a payment terminal!
Although if you are not particularly picky about food, the portion size will please you.
The spa has an indoor pool, massage and jacuzzi. The lake with spring water turned out to be a blue concrete bath with dirty and muddy sludge.
There is a surprise for swimmers - Monday is a sanitary day, which they forgot to mention on the website.
I recommend a massage. Many thanks to masseur Vasily.
But there is a lot of entertainment in neighboring hotels: karaoke, discos, cinema ...but only in winter.
In summer, you will not be served herring, pizza and hot in local cafes, although they are listed in the menu! And importantly - in the coffee heart of Ukraine - Lviv region, coffee is disgusting. Decent found in a store near the station.
But the ATM was never found… it is one in Oschadbank somewhere near the station, so stock up on cash.
Or, like us, go to Lviv (but not by train!
) - cool, interesting, informative and civilization!

But keep in mind that if you miss breakfast or dinner - your problems, they are not compensated and will not leave. For participants of excursions organized by Ivan (contacts in the hotel) deadlines are postponed. And yes, Ivan will only bring you to Berehove or Mukachevo for 350 hryvnias. Then all at your expense! A separate story with the Smerichka store near the hotel - there are no price tags and terrible inflation - a bottle of water went up by 1-2 UAH. daily. I do not recommend!
Of the pros: beautiful nature, clean air, mountains.
