Booking. First, I want to say right away about the methods of booking. I encountered the fact that sites that offered bookings in semi-automatic mode were stubbornly silent. Native Ukrainian travel agencies modestly offered options that cost at least 30% more than the offer of the hotels themselves.

Booking.
First, I want to say right away about the methods of booking. I encountered the fact that sites that offered bookings in semi-automatic mode were stubbornly silent. Native Ukrainian travel agencies modestly offered options that cost at least 30% more than the offer of the hotels themselves. Therefore, we had to contact the Austrian accommodation agency directly, which kindly booked a free room for us in this hotel.
Transfer.
Since the final airport in my case was Innsbruck Airport, then further fabrications on the topic of transfer refer specifically to the Innsbruck - Sö lden route, but the trends can, I think, be extended to any other similar case.
If you do not set yourself the goal of saving as much as possible, and in the latter case, there is nothing to offer except for the bus from the airport, then I immediately advise you to turn to taxi services, which there is a whole queue near the airport. From the airport to Selden the cost is 145 euros, back 125. The transfer was offered at a price of 195 in each direction. The difference is that in the second case, you will be met by a specially trained person with a sign in his hand, on which your last name will obviously be written, and in the first case, you will have to go to the taxi driver and show a voucher on which the name of the hotel will be written and his address. By the way, the bus costs 40 euros per person each way.
Hotel.
After the hotels of the Ukrainian ski resort No. 1 in Ukraine called Bukovel, the hotel pleasantly surprises with the friendly attitude of the staff, where each employee tries to emphasize that you are a welcome guest. Stylish design creates the impression of home comfort in the lobby and restaurant of the hotel. The rooms are spacious, clean and equipped with everything you need.
The price of accommodation includes meals, the so-called half board, which includes three meals a day - breakfast (buffet), daily buffet (buffet) and dinner on the menu (usually two dishes to choose from 4 positions). All non-alcoholic drinks (except dinner), including freshly squeezed juices, which you must make yourself, are also included in the price of your stay.
A separate table is booked for you, which will be yours for the entire stay, which in itself is very nice. A professional coffee machine is available for breakfast and lunch, which prepares drinks of a very decent quality.
The cuisine is good, but rather monotonous, for example, during the four days of stay, the breakfast and lunch buffet menu has not changed at all.
In addition, from 15:00 every day you can visit the bath complex, which consists of four different saunas and a fairly decent size Jacuzzi pool. There you can find almost the only sign in Russian, which reminds Russian tourists that saunas must be visited in the nude. Obviously, the mentality of tourists from the countries of the former USSR has such a hard time accepting such a reality that they had to make an inscription in Russian. I have not seen Russian-language inscriptions anywhere else.
Of the undoubted advantages, it is worth noting the proximity to the station of one of the two main lifts - as declared in the description of the hotel, it is only 100m. At the same time, skis can be stored in the basement in a cabinet specially reserved for your room with a digital lock and heated boot pins. External exit from the premises directly onto the road leading to the station. And on the other hand, you can go out into the basement corridor, through which it is easy to get straight to the flight of stairs leading to the room. Along the same corridor you can get to the bath complex and the pool, which eliminates the need to go in a bathrobe and slippers / ski suit past the reception.
The only negative that I noted for myself is the Internet. For some reasons unknown to me, free wireless internet was declared only until 18:00 (how much is also a question) and only in the reception hall. In the room, it was also promised free of charge until 18:00, but after connecting to the network, it was proposed to agree that you should pay 11 cents per minute, which is not cheap at all, in my opinion. In fairness, I will say that sometimes in the room it was possible to catch a signal from the reception, albeit weak and unstable.
In general, the impression of the hotel is more than positive. I can strongly recommend to visit.
