The bathroom does not have a door or a curtain on the shower and therefore the floor is always wet, the lighting above the mirror is not working, and the tiles on the walls have not been washed for a long time. The shower head is broken, all the faucets need to be cleaned. Outlets are torn out of the walls and dangling. The TV is very old and so is the mini-fridge. When checking in, they didn’t notice all this, because they just looked into the room to make sure that there was enough space for three.
In Kalyba we are waiting for an order for at least 40 minutes, and more often it is an hour, and this despite the fact that there are almost no visitors! From the menu is already meager, you can order only a few dishes.
There is a swimming pool on the territory, around which there are no sun loungers, nor any bedding or towels provided by the hotel.
I do not recommend this hotel.
Distance to the ski slopes: Pogar - 2 km; Trostyan - 4 km; Warsaw, Grabovets - 12 km, Zakhar Berkut - 8 km.
Me, my girlfriend, her friend with a child.
Liked: Everything except described below.
Did not like:
1. After a train ride (24.20m), waiting for the train (2.30m), a train ride (2.00m), I wanted to lie down on the bed and drink a cup of hot tea. At that moment, my girlfriend wanted to take a shower and then drink tea together. At first glance, very simple, but at the same time pleasant desires. Our fellow travelers also did not want to go anywhere else. A good mood was spoiled for us by a girl at the reception who said that you were not allowed to have a kettle (even for a fee !!!!!!!!! ). We all had to go together to a cafe to drink tea, and then push in line at the door of the bathroom. Further, when trying to pour mineral water into one of the two glasses, it turned out that they were not WASHED !! ! At the bottom, the remains of liquid are reddish in color and sticky to the touch. The extra bed sofa broke on the second night. Nothing obscene (sex) and abnormal (walking on it or jumping) was done.
2. The agency where we ordered the tours told us that there is NO obligatory payment for the New Year's banquet!! ! Two weeks later, they called and said that it was necessary to pay for the New Year's banquet in the amount of $ 100 per person. (the payment initiative came from “Lilin”). In case of our refusal, we were offered to return the money paid by us earlier. But we could not refuse for a simple reason, it was already impossible to find something else at that time. EVERYTHING AND EVERYWHERE IS BUSY!! ! Apparently, this is what they are counting on when they talk about the optional payment for the New Year's banquet. And you can't call it a banquet! For 356 dollars for 3 adults and 1 child, we were put on the table: Soviet champagne (the most inexpensive brand) - 1 piece, vodka 0.5-1 piece, semi-dry Moldovan wine - 2 pieces. A small (small) plate of Olivier - 1 pc. , a bowl of chicken salad - 1 pc. , a bowl of some other salad - 1 pc. , a large plate (small) of salad with tomatoes and cheese (probably Greek) - 1 pc. Then they brought for us and the neighboring room (one for two) carp stuffed with frying. Carp grams 350-400 (more than a long palm), tongue 1 piece and 1 twister one and a half fingers thick. Oh, I almost forgot, there were pancakes already 2 times (with some kind of pate and then with carrots). There were a lot of pancakes for breakfast and apparently they were served at a banquet. At the end, when almost everyone left, including children and 6 adults left, ice cream was served, accompanied by the phrase: - Especially for you. There was also a plate of tasteless lard, an incomprehensible sausage. All this was accompanied by music performed by a man and a woman who sang karaoke and played a little saxophone. For the look!! ! They sang well, played badly. Fireworks, Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden for children were busy this New Year and did not visit us.
3. Breakfast is also very poor. For a skiing holiday, this is very little. The cost is 30 UAH.
The water in the room is technical (stinking, not drinking)
We loved it - would recommend!
Of the staff, I liked the bartender the most, he is also a waiter in the hut. I think his name is Sergey. By the way, I’ll immediately note that one person for a hut is not enough! Recruit staff, gentlemen! It was very difficult for him to serve everyone. As for the food - very tasty! Trout, barbecue, porcini mushrooms - super!
On New Year's Eve. . . As for me, the hall is too small for so many people. Food, alcohol, program - a solid four.
As for the village itself, it is, to my great surprise, small. The infrastructure is practically not developed.
There are a lot of mountains. I can't write anything about the professional ones. We were only at the "Polytech", for amateurs I'm happy. I started skiing for the first time, it's scary, but I want to go again. And all thanks to my instructor Roma!!!
Despite the presence of some shortcomings, I want to say that my friends and I have already booked places in Liliana for the New Year 2009! It's good there! The main thing is that the company was fun!...
. . .
. . . On this (2009) NG we again went to Liliana with a big group. Rented a cottage. Very pleased. They say one of the neighbors is better, but we were completely satisfied with ours, the middle one. A spacious hall on the first floor with a large dining table, TV, a Christmas tree decorated in the middle of the room, a fireplace that even a child could easily melt (firewood is provided), a large corner sofa. Fully equipped kitchen, separate room with washing machine and dryer. All rooms are decent. Warm and comfortable. In my previous comment, I already wrote about the proximity of the slides, about my ski rental, shop, sauna, swimming pool and hut. By the way, the bartender's name is Dima, not Seryozha. Separate respect!
And we also went fishing - we caught trout. The boys became uninteresting after 2 minutes, because. trout was caught even on an empty hook, but the girls barely calmed down))) They fried it in their yard on the grill, ate it on both cheeks.
In general, I advise everyone!
In fact, the furniture is "tired", the wallpaper in one bedroom is covered with wine, but in general everything is fine, the slides are nearby, the hut and the restaurant are also, you just need to book places in advance.
I really liked the bathhouse at the Smerekova Khata hotel, just take it with a bath attendant....everyone liked it very much! even to children!
