The hotel is conveniently located, go down the hill and you are at the central source. The room was deluxe, everything is new, comfortable, street view. There is no balcony, wired internet was free, several Russian channels, everything is quite comfortable, cleaning and changing towels daily. White robes and slippers, put on a robe and go to the 8th floor, where the treatment center is located. The procedures are clearly on time, which is a big plus! the staff is very friendly - this is a fact (they all went to work from Puppa 5 *), apparently therefore the service is of high quality. procedures were discharged for two weeks 32, it was possible to change at will. All treatments are pleasant and relaxing. you can pay extra for the rest (I paid extra for gas injections so that there were 10 pcs. , well, to a beautician) more about the procedures: several types of baths, it’s nice and relaxing, electric procedures, a shower, a massage, I liked the paraffin on my hands, you can breathe oxygen, massage pants to improve blood circulation in the legs, inhalations, dry baths, etc. on the first day, you go to see the head doctor Pani Sarova, I really liked her, attentive, and not a bad psychologist, by the way (she gave recommendations to go home, wrote out prescriptions for vitamins, etc. ) I want to thank her! Now I want to add a little fly in the ointment to a barrel of honey, but it’s a solid positive, though we weren’t lucky with the weather - it was very cold (April and -4 in the morning! ).
The main thing for health is still water and air, we walked a lot, almost every day we climbed to the highest point of the city and went down on foot through the forest - air - my head is spinning! We went on excursions, most of all I liked the Czech excursion campaign, it is cheaper and they tell interesting stories with love for their native land. The guides are Czechs who speak excellent Russian. They also went by bus to the neighboring town - there is a fortress of the 13th century - they really liked it. Often I didn’t want to leave - it’s a pity to miss the “watering hole” and procedures.
I forgot about nutrition, it was not possible to lose weight! although wound on 10 km a day on foot at least.

the kitchen really surprised me. Breakfast - buffet, lunch and dinner on the menu, ordering system. Props to the chef! 2 types of soup, all kinds of meat including game (deer is very tasty), cooked - melts in your mouth, fish every day - for lovers, even shark steak a couple of times, salmon is excellent, white fish, there are separately for vegetarians, you can choose more dishes - less dietary. a lot of vegetables. But I didn’t like the cutlets... Tea and coffee in the morning, water with lemon or orange in the afternoon. Desserts for lunch. Kefir for dinner is delicious. Meals in the restaurant in several shifts, you will be assigned a time when to come.
Previously, for years we went to Kislovodsk and Essentuki, now, of course, we don’t feel like going there... and the prices in our sanatoriums are already Ho-ho! you know the difference in service.
All staff speaks Russian. funny so they say, the last syllable is pulled... my husband and I laughed: thank you, please!
A new second building is being built next to the hotel, when we were there, there were no noisy works yet, I don’t know how it is now, of course, if there is noise all day, this is a big minus.
We went for a walk, always hid a bun from the restaurant to feed the ducks, but the impudent pigeons just sit on their hands and on their heads!
We are going to go again in the fall, I think maybe to another hotel for a change, and then I immediately think, what if it will be worse there? when we got acquainted with vacationers in other hotels, it is natural to immediately have a conversation: how are you? Some complain about the queue for procedures (and this was enough for me in Russian sanatoriums! ) Some are surprised when I told how they feed us... Other sanatoriums are far away, it’s not an option to take a bus to the source.
Thank you all for your attention. Have a great holiday! And if rest is combined with health benefits, this is triple rest!
I don't quite understand the negative reviews above, so I decided to write my own. . .
