Застрявшие между социализмом и капитализмом Stuck between socialism and capitalism

Rested with my son in the hotel "Essenius". The hotel is perfectly located - in the very center of Karlovy Vary, opposite the theatre. Very close to Colonnade Virgilino (3-5 minutes at a slow pace). The hotel is about 3*, although it is a little expensive, I think because of the location. When booking, we chose a room with a view of the river, we did not regret it: the sun in the morning, the room is light all day, a good view from the window. This turned out to be a very important point, because. rooms overlooking the courtyard have significant drawbacks, namely: it is dark, the windows overlook the mountain, under the windows there are utility rooms of the dining room-restaurant with all the consequences. A big feature of this hotel !!!!!!! ! On the very first night (or rather, at about one in the morning), the heating was turned off, after an hour it became cold, it was -8 outside. Went down to reception to find out what happened. They answered me - oh! let's turn it on now. After 5 min. the battery got warmer, the next night it all happened again and on the third too. on the fourth night, the heating was turned off at 3 am, in the hope that I would not feel cold in my sleep. BUT! I went down again, and they told me that because of me, the automatic heating had already postponed the time for turning off the heating from 1 a. m. to 3 a. m. , and why can’t you sleep, take a blanket or two and that’s all, sleep! We save money! And the heating is always turned off for 3 hours at night, it’s just that all the guests are sleeping or not, but no one wants to go down at night, and in the morning everyone wakes up warm and everything, OK! So keep this point in mind, many hotels sin with this, or rather save. Our room was spacious and clean with good facilities. The maid cleaned rather badly. Breakfast, as I myself read before the trip and I agree, was held according to the principle who did not have time - he was late. Those. eat what's left. The breakfasts are disgusting, some kind of buckwheat floating in the water and yesterday's half-eaten and already great stale leftovers of cucumbers and tomatoes. Sorry sight! I am aware that this is 3 *, but it would be better if they threw it away and not dishonored. Lunches and dinners on the menu in Russian, there were no problems with the order, there was a choice. everything was edible, i. e. here the hotel worked out its 3 *. The hotel provides 20 procedures, the prices are given below. Arriving at
Vary, we, as experienced tourists, went around various agencies offering excursions, since there are many of them and all representatives right on the road offer their services. We compared prices and asked what kind of buses they had. there were also those in whom tourists carried this bus to the hotel on themselves, he was completely ill from age. As a result, they chose the cheapest and closest excursion (resort triangle) during which they appreciated the bus, guide, etc. and then in the same company we bought a trip to Vienna for 2 days (by the way, the Delta hotel in Vienna is SUPER), Prague, Dresden. DON'T REGRET!! ! Thanks Natalie!! ! We didn’t go anywhere else, it got colder to -20, but they stopped turning off the heating, ALL the night it was now warm Hurray. I hope my review will help someone make the right choice. Prices for procedures (in kroons): medical examination 750, medical consultation, classical massage, drawing up a diagnosis, dry carbonic bath - 350, bath with lek herbs, cardiogram, reflex massage, parafango, mineral and pearl bath - 400, supply massage - 550, Charcot, gas injections -300. all for 1 unit.
