The medical base is very weak. The main drawback of the service is that the nurses themselves schedule the time for the procedures. When a large group arrives, a queue forms for it, and it needs to release the procedures to those who arrived earlier. This irritates both the worker and the vacationers. There are overlays, which is unacceptable. There are only 5 procedures for the package, and every other day and not all according to the profile, the rest are for money. Everything is beautiful in the restaurant, but the food is 3+, and you need to work with the staff, fussy and not attentive, they often confused dishes in places, they forgot to bring something. When leaving the retsepshen conducted in silence. It is not clear why the hotel was given 4 stars? I won't come again!! !
The hotel building is 7-storey, there are elevators (German, but very thoughtful, melancholic... ). As for the pros and cons, I would like to note the following.
Pros:
- clean rooms with European-style renovation and cozy interiors (standard rooms have a TV, a refrigerator, a hairdryer, a balcony, a bathroom with a shower corner - you can’t call it a shower cabin... in short, a corner in the bathroom, fenced off by a ledge of tiles and a curtain - here such a shower : ), apparently, without further ado, slyly transferred during the reconstruction of the hotel, from the USSR)
- good buffet-type breakfasts (our tour included only breakfasts, and there are no complaints about them - you can eat quite hearty and plenty)
- free internet via Wi-Fi in the rooms (it was not officially announced, but 2 cells out of 5 were caught in the room, so you could more or less use it)
- there is an opportunity to improve your health with medical procedures (there is a medical and preventive department, but we didn’t go there, so I can’t tell you more, there is also a SPA-salon)
- there is a bar, a computer club
Minuses:
- far from the sea (400 meters, but keep in mind that you still have to go down to the sea either along a steep serpentine path or along the local "Potemkin" stairs, the city has a lift - a cable car, but for some reason during our visit it did not work and in general its state was somehow running)
- Standard rooms do not have air conditioning
- in the bathrooms, the smell of sewage was periodically observed (I suspect that due to the peculiarities of the drain in the bathrooms, dictated by the specific arrangement of the shower enclosure... and this drain tends to clog periodically)
- for some reason, the maids sometimes forget to put soap and shampoo, but you can always ask (soap is given in small bars, shampoo in bags....well, you know what bags they give on the plane, say, mayonnaise? well, that's the same size ; toothbrushes, pastes, slippers, bathrobes, shoe polish and other accessories, unfortunately, they don’t give out in standard rooms, maybe there are in suites... however, there is a brush for clothes and a “spoon”)
Summary: for a small town like Svetlogorsk, the hotel is a confident average, even, perhaps, above average. I can fully recommend if you are not picky tourists and prefer to walk more with your feet or go on excursions than to sit in your room.
I want to give advice to tourists who are looking for places where they can relax in the summer.
I would not recommend you the Volna recreation center, which is located in the village of Solnechnogorskoye, Primorskaya 26.
The view of the base and the view from the window of the room may impress you, but this does not apply to the room and the staff who are here. The village itself is very dirty. Arriving here at 6 in the morning, I just wanted to put on a gas mask !!!! ! The smell is unbearable! The beaches are littered! Everything is in the garbage and bottles!
At the base you will be met and shown to the room. A woman, Claudia, will meet you, show you the room and give you bed linen (there are a lot of stains on it, of a different nature). Everything seems to be fine until you enter the room. Bare cracked walls, mold in the corner. room temperature, the toilet is set at an angle of 45 degrees, and a washbasin. There will be a shower with hot water in the building opposite. !!
As for the kitchen. It is only called a kitchen. There are no pots, a kettle, spoons, forks, there are simply no matches. I had a chance to ask Natasha (room cleaner) for matches, I will remember this look for a long time.
Room for ironing clothes. Here you have to go according to a schedule that you are not familiarized with . . yes, they come up with it on the go. When I came at 9 pm to iron things, again this Natasha expressed her dissatisfaction. Let me know when to come to you. As a result, we came to the conclusion that I had to go to Turkey, Natasha knows better !!!! ! ))))))
Light. In the evening, one 25V lamp is lit in the room. Nothing is visible. In order to get ready for a walk in the evening, you need to put on blind makeup. The light can go out, probably from overvoltage.
Gas. The gas in the kitchen just ran out. in people on 4 camphors, dinner was undercooked, no one cared.
Refrigerators. One per floor. Yes, indeed, there is. But he worked for a day, then broke down and stank on the whole floor.
The rooms are not cleaned. The building itself is cleaned very rarely. The steps were filled with dirt for a very long time.
you need to come home before 23.30 then the base is closed with huge locks.
That's all in a nutshell)))))) I DO NOT RECOMMEND the base!!!! !
