Disgusting cleaning of the room: during the entire stay, they never dusted, did not wash plumbing fixtures - the toilet, sink, shower, faucets. Poorly replenished gels and shampoos, changed towels. On the walls and ceiling of the loggia all the time of our stay in the hotel there were disgusting rock worms (photo attached). When asked to remove these worms, the administration replied that they would not go anywhere, we would remove these, and others would immediately appear. Ice water in the pool. on the territory near the pool (7th floor of the building) drafts. Unreasonably overpriced room.
I would especially like to note the food and the staff of the dining room-restaurant - Andrey and Ekaterina. Great and positive guys : )
In general, the hotel staff left only positive impressions.
The room is quite spacious, comfortable for living, cleaned daily, balcony overlooking the sea.
Homemade three meals a day, which is especially convenient for families with children, because there is a choice (buffet for breakfast and lunch). The service is polite, the wishes of customers, even the smallest ones, are taken into account.
We really liked the hotel and the location. We will go there again and again.
I liked everything in general (the relief was certainly impressive, but this is not the fault of the boarding house (hotel? ) Or its staff - this is geography). I liked something more, something less, but there is no negative about the hotel and its staff in principle.
The room, like the hotel itself, is very well thought out - something I haven't seen often.
I was impressed by one detail - there are clocks in the corridors and on the platforms, and they all worked! And they showed the correct time. Those in the know will appreciate it.
By the way, the clock was in the room and ticking, I wanted to stop, but did not. People tried, but it's not difficult to get used to. The balconies are well thought out. One drawback was revealed - in my room the neighbors from above were heard - through the balcony.
The room itself provided everything you need for life on vacation in a hot climate. I will not enumerate.
Meals - really homemade - with a choice for breakfast and lunch of a main course and a side dish from 3-4 options (the first for lunch - from 2 options) and another 5-6 types of salads and appetizers. The food is just homemade. And this is not a stamp, but the very reality. (By the way - I sincerely think that this is too much. Guests do not need to be fed).
Further, for dinner there is one dish, without a choice, but appetizers and salads 4-5 to choose from. But this is natural - not everyone comes to dinner, as they flaunt and help themselves "on the promenade" - in cafes and restaurants - the resort is the same. : -)
They allow you to bring your own alcohol, but I have not seen such cases (except for the "after dinner"), and rightly so - the children eat, and you need to relax during the day by the sea. In the evening, the dining room turns into a restaurant quality, but unobtrusively for the rest, in any case - it didn’t bother me, but it’s free))) music and songs with a glass of wine (paid) are very good. Yes! At the same time, they did not sell their own alcohol, but also did not prevent them from bringing their own.
This is a minus - you need to obtain a license and sell alcohol yourself. (If anything - I'm not an ascetic).
But I’ll say right away - I didn’t see drunks in the hotel, I didn’t see riot either, but it couldn’t be. The people are more family, although there were also young couples. And among the staff there are strong guys who would quickly calm down the brawler(s).
Speaking of security - everything is quite at the level, as well as the actions of all the staff. He said about the kitchen (the work of cooks), the maids are obligatory and "invisible". To the request not to come in every day (well, I don’t have so much garbage and dust) and not to remake my bed, our maid did not say anything, but she came in and stubbornly forwarded it. I also asked, since she comes in, to turn off the air conditioner, if I forget, leaving for the sea - I didn’t turn it off, as it’s not supposed to. I do not agree with this, and I recommend that the management review this paragraph of the instruction. The room cools down quickly. Yes, and I recommend leaving the instructions for the air conditioner remote control. )
The hotel itself is located very conveniently - between the sanatorium (exit there separately) and the sea.
I don't recommend driving there.
As our driver Georgy rightly said (he is also Zhora, he is also Gosha (he introduced himself that way)): you come without cars, we ourselves will carefully bring you, drive around the Crimea, and take you.
My opinion is the same - there is very heavy traffic on the roads, the terrain is difficult, it's hot. Security cannot cost more than money or show-offs. It won't cost you much money for a taxi/sightseeing car, but you'll be both stress-free and safe. And who wants to - will be able to join the wine riches of the Crimea. ; -) And if you like show-offs - order an expensive car - there are a lot of them here. )
However, this does not apply to the hotel. And in the rest - everything that I did not like on vacation - does not apply to the hotel.
I will give you only one warning - due to the relief, the difference in levels between the areas of the hotel is large, you must take this into account when ordering a specific room.
But, I repeat, this is relief, it is the same for everyone. Nature, you know. )))
As for the Russia-Ukraine issue, there are citizens of Ukraine among the guests - that's for sure, but there were no political battles. I note this fact - in the dining room on the TV screens included music channels. Sometimes Russia, sometimes Ukraine, I think that this is on purpose, but no one tried to impose any one channel. Listen to songs calmly. And in the breaks for advertising, they listened to the unusual soundtrack of well-known products. )
And rightly so - rest is rest.
There are beautiful defki there too. And among the staff. ; -)
Yes, at the expense of TV - channels full. But remember, you need to relax there, and not watch TV or stare at gadgets (there is also a network).
By the way, Miss Lambat is chosen there today. But it's dangerous - casting from +6 to... well, ... you understand me - they don't ask a lady for her age : -)
Unfortunately, we had some adventures: my little son was bitten by some midge, and we turned out to be allergic to the bite. Yaroslava found which hospital we should go to, and since it was Saturday, we did not go to the nearest clinic in Alushta, but to a hospital in Livadia, and Georgy Mikhailovich (the owner of the hotel) took us. I want to thank him again for this! Probably, this all explains the loyalty of some families to the Lambat Hotel for 10 years, at least we met two of them. And most likely we will replenish their ranks.
The sea was a little cool, we swam a little, but the hotel is completely useless here.
We will come again
