Stayed here twice in standard rooms. Old, poor, but the nature and the sea in this place are unique. This time we booked a superior room. Thank God only for four nights. Upon entering the room (904) experienced a severe shock. Closet 10 sq. m. with ancient shabby furniture and wallpaper, everything is just "killed" in the trash. They tried to kill the smell of a stinking rooming house with an air freshener, but it did not help. The stench is indestructible. Balcony measuring 0.4 by 1.2 meters with a clothesline. A shabby washroom without a bathtub, with a blinking light bulb hanging from wires wrapped in duct tape. Museum Soviet ottomans with holes in the fabric. There are no mattresses. All this "interior" should have been thrown into the landfill long ago, because such squalor can be seen in a barracks where drunks live, but not in a boarding house for normal people. Cleaning consists of taking out the trash. There is no wet cleaning, no vacuum cleaner - hence the stench.
The elevator constantly breaks down, on the day of departure we got stuck there ourselves. Thanks to the local repairmen - they pulled us out in half an hour. The administrator, honestly looking into her eyes, stated that you have all the conditions for increased comfort and categorically refused to replace the room.
People, be vigilant, do not spoil your holiday. There are many good hotels and guest houses in Gagra, and avoid this ancient hut "Colchis". Health and nerves are more expensive. If you want to live in a smelly rooming house for decent money - you are here.

I am with my husband and a child who is 1.5 months old and decided to rest in Abkhazia. We booked the Nevsky Stars hotel in Gagra 2 months in advance. Finally, we waited for a trip to rest. After passing the Abkhazian border, we were suddenly told by the transfer driver of the Biblio Globus tour operator that we were not going to our booked hotel "Nevsky Stars", but were taking us to the Colchis boarding house.

As a result, the tour operator Biblio Globus replaced our hotel with one of the worst: with a bad location in the mountains and the worst service (killed rooms with mold and poor food and an unenclosed balcony on the roof, from where a child could fall, the lights were periodically turned off at night). My one-year-old child and I had to move along a mountain road with many steps and passages!

We rested in September 2017, me and my wife, 14 days. We arrived at ten in the evening, no one fed us, we slept hungry. They settled on the 2nd floor, they said the second copy of the keys was lost (improved room), the doors do not close at the bedside tables, the window sill was never wiped, there were gaps around the perimeter of the door, the TV worked normally only early in the morning (we contacted several times, but to no avail), although Neighbors TV worked fine.

Any request or application is accepted with hostility, they say you are not the only one. The elevator in the main building dates back to the times of the USSR (Spitak plant). Although we had previously read reviews about food here, we were unpleasantly surprised - on 4-seat tables there are 4 tea glasses each and always only 3 teaspoons, paper napkins are always strictly 4 pcs. and most importantly very small portions, eat what will be served. For dessert, tired of small gingerbread, sometimes they gave a small piece of watermelon or an apple, few vegetables and this is in September. The lighting in the room is only 2 bedside lamps on the wall, it is dark on the balcony in the evening. Missed meals on excursions (breakfast, lunch, dinner) are not compensated in any way. . A pebble beach, it hurts your feet to go into the sea (buy slippers on the market, it’s much cheaper, the same about drinking water), no first-aid posts, lifeguards, sunbeds are paid, you pay separately for shade (canopy) In the evening it’s dark, in the underpass, on flyover, on the alley-bulbs burn through one. Minibuses go broken, crossing a solid axial when overtaking is an abnormal phenomenon. Nowhere have we seen cash registers, price tags are a rarity. An excursion to Lake Ritsa was booked at a kiosk between the boarding house and the sea; In the case of an accident, one woman became ill - the driver did not have a first-aid kit or a bucket to get cold water. In the parking lot in the mountains around manure, dirt, garbage. Toilets at intermediate stops (apiary, source) - a nightmare (darkness, stink, blockages of Mr. ). Everywhere there are a lot of destroyed abandoned buildings, savings in everything Justified by the past (25 years ago) war. For the sake of truth, the pluses include the still not completely ruined nature (beautiful places), the sea and the colorful market in Gagra, where you can buy everything at affordable prices (especially tasty and healthy pomegranate juice, peaches, vegetables, fruits, good, inexpensive compared to us , wine in glass And in general, we won’t go to Abkhazia, especially the Colchis boarding house

We are resting in Abkhazia for the third time. We have been to Colchis twice. Modest rooms, but quite enough for relaxation: TV (didn't you see enough at home? ))), refrigerator, air conditioning. Kettle on the floor, polite, sociable staff (we were recognized a year later! ) Cleaning was done daily. Food, as in a pioneer camp, is sufficient in quantity and quality, without frills.

We are resting in Abkhazia for the third time. We have been to Colchis twice. Modest rooms, but quite enough for relaxation: TV (didn't you see enough at home? ))), refrigerator, air conditioning. Kettle on the floor, polite, sociable staff (we were recognized a year later! ) Cleaning was done daily. Food, as in a pioneer camp, is sufficient in quantity and quality, without frills. There is no monotony, waitresses run around, eating in two shifts, a lot of people, friendly, do you need an addition? Please! We communicated with all the staff from the maid Gali. to the director and chief administrator Zhanna Rozhdnovna, there were pleasant memories, thank you for everything! In what attitude towards you, it largely depends on the vacationers. Polite, sympathetic communication is the key to understanding and respect in return. Personally, I am delighted with the nature of Abkhazia, a wonderful view of the mountains and the sea! The sea is clean, the road to the sea is a walk and a workout at the same time, if you jog and don’t use the elevator (if you want to lose weight! ))) I didn’t feel drawn to the cafe at all, because we were full. You swim in the sea and admire the coastline, perhaps the most beautiful in Abkhazia: palm trees, oleanders, cypresses, and castles with colorful architecture. And the mountains, how different they are every day! Wonderful air, infused with the sea, eucalyptus, boxwood. Laurel trees grow along the forest path, narwhal home, what a scent! To sum up, who goes to Abkhazia for what? I personally, breathe in, swim at dawn and at sunset in the sea, endlessly admire nature. In this regard, Kolkhidushka greatly wins territorially. Garbage on the streets and other shortcomings - this is a disaster for local residents.

In our voucher it was written: three meals a day - a buffet, but in fact - an ordinary canteen on the territory with disgusting food (very small portions, instead of instant mashed potatoes, they gave liver cutlets - raw inside, porridge in the morning - just smeared on a plate, etc. , in general, I had to lose weight and eat additionally in cafes, where the prices are hoo!!! ), the staff of the Colchis boarding house are women of retirement age, upon arrival we explained for a very long time who we were and where we were from, we didn’t meet, the number they didn’t show, didn’t greet, threw the key and that’s it, just didn’t say that you need to register with the administrator. But okay, it’s somehow possible to survive, but when we entered the room, to be honest, tears appeared in our eyes: old smelly furniture from the Soviet era, peeled dirty wallpaper, a small old TV from 2 works. channels, I’m generally silent about plumbing, it’s just a shame to write. On the floor, stripped parquet, circa 1950. , small refrigerator, and the residents with whom we lived-ANTS!! ! I returned to the "grandmother" at the reception and asked what is included in the concept of a "superior room", to which I received an answer: you have TVs in your room. , refrigerator and air conditioning? I answered yes. And what else do you need then, they answered me very rudely and even a little with some kind of disgust. And they said about the ants that they are also alive and they need to live somewhere!! ! The boarding house lures with a playground - THERE IS NO, a gym - THERE IS ONLY ONE horizontal bar. Of course it's funny, but they ripped off 30 rubles for dreams. for registration (administrator Zhanna Rozhdnovna rewrote our passport data), although we paid for everything on the ticket. There are a lot of minuses, but what I want to say is that we are satisfied with the fact that we went to Abkhazia, the incomparable nature and the very clean sea, although the beach is not cleaned, but what we stopped at the choice of the Colchis boarding house, I will not advise anyone !! ! The food is disgusting, the staff is rude women who don’t consider you a person, the rooms are the Soviet Union. We talked with vacationers of other hotels, boarding houses, guest houses - people are satisfied. You can also come to Abkhazia as a savage - there is a lot of housing. So, my dear vacationers, my advice to you is not to rest in the Colchis boarding house, you will simply be disappointed and ruin your whole vacation. Plus, spend a lot of money.

rested with a friend from 04 to 11 October 2015. The boarding house, of course, is from the last century, but we got a normal room, everything was clean, the balcony was excellent with a great view.

The room was very comfortable and not hot and not cold, although the road is quite noisy (we did not close the balcony at night). The beds are also from the last century, but comfortable. The food was simple, but tasty and the portions were good, even we, who are in the society of "clean plates", did not always eat up. The waitresses are very friendly and work quickly. But the aunts at the reception are a separate article. They sit with such a view, to disk, we were not waiting for you, but you have come to the front! And this, it seems, is a national problem, because. we went to other boarding houses, everywhere the same - dissatisfied faces, answers through gritted teeth. Everything on the market is expensive. Everything is expensive everywhere. But this could not overshadow the rest, because. the sea is amazingly warm and clean, nature, the park, the city itself, everything caused joy. The beach is not cleaned. But vacationers do not have to throw bottles on the shore. The sunbeds are broken, but free. We went to two concerts of folk groups - a delight! In general, I liked everything. I would like to come again.

Rested in "Colchis" from 14 to 25 September 2015. Thanks to "Priority Tour" for the perfectly organized transfer Adler-Gagra-Adler! Thanks to the waiters working in the cafeteria "Colchis" for fast and polite service, always with a smile and hospitality! Thanks to the nice girl Valentina, who is in charge of ordering excursions! Thanks to Nature for the magnificent clean sea, delicious air and majestic mountains! I wish the administrators of Colchis and the ladies working at the reception to SMILE, SAY "THANK YOU", "PLEASE", "ALL THE GOOD", "HOW CAN I HELP YOU", and not work with such an expression on your face, as if you are doing everyone a favor.

I also wish the administrators of "Colchis" not to discuss the guests in their presence. Your salary is in their pocket, remember that. I wish the director of the boarding house (I'm sorry, I don't know his name and patronymic) to celebrate personal holidays not on the territory of the Colchis boarding house, and even if on the territory, then not until 6 in the morning, disturbing the guests with his loud "rest". In general, the rest was a success, but I will not recommend the Colchis boarding house to my friends.

nature is simply gorgeous, but otherwise not so much. The food for people on a diet is good, my husband and I lost a lot of weight (although we are not burdened with excess weight anyway), we were always hungry. In cafes nearby, prices are simply sky-high. For example, cheap tea bags in a plastic glass 50r.

There are no entertainment programs in the evenings, you have to drag yourself somewhere in the evenings. And where? In the same cafes.

Traveled with my husband in June 2014! I read negative reviews, I was afraid to go, but the rest was excellent, I liked everything very much !! ! I want to write in detail about the "+" and "-" of the boarding house, perhaps it will come in handy for someone))) They gave a good room, it is clear that cosmetic repairs have been made! The travel agency told us that the whole boarding house was renovated there, so you don’t have to worry about the rooms! a room without a refrigerator (but it was in the common corridor on the floor and it was allowed to put food in it), without a TV (we rented it for 50 rubles a day, because the World Cup was on, we couldn’t help but take it, and just sometimes I wanted to lie around to watch the news, but there is also one in the common corridor, if anything), without air conditioning (but it wasn’t hot at all in the room! It wasn’t sunny).

It wasn’t sunny). Toilets and bathrooms are great! Every day the rooms are cleaned, the garbage bags are replaced, the staff was friendly and welcoming. We often asked where to go, what to see in the area, we were always told in detail! The food was good, tasty, it never passed, as they wrote in many comments on other sites. The nature around is amazing! We fell in love with the Caucasus, went on excursions. The sea was clear, at least in June. jellyfish nailed for a couple of days, but they were small, so it's not scary))))) went by minibuses a couple of times to the center, to the market for souvenirs. Minibuses run frequently, you can take almost any one (we sat near the colonnade). to go there for about 20 minutes, back 1 time we walked, the road took an hour and a half, slowly. In general, solid pluses from the rest. I can name 3 minuses, but, in principle, they are not so terrible))) 1) the territory is not highlighted in the dark. My husband and I celebrated his birthday in an outdoor cafe by the sea. They walked back through the darkness, even if they gouged out their eyes. 2) You can hear good music in the rooms from this cafe. But at exactly 12 midnight they cut her down. It didn’t bother me in the slightest, but the music infuriated my husband)))) for older vacationers it would be good to keep this in mind and ask for rooms on the other side. 3) there were no Sberbank ATMs at all in Gagra. We had all the cash on the card, so we're on the trail. day we went to the border and there the money was already withdrawn. Well, at least not far from the border of Psou! ))) And one more piece of advice: don't take an excursion to the Olympic Village. It cost 1000 rubles per person. And my husband and I drove there ourselves. It's all nearby. Their Gagra to Psou 70 rubles and there already in Adler to Krasnaya Polyana 10 minutes by bus for 25 rubles, or on foot 20-30 minutes. Have a nice holiday everyone!!!! !

We, two adults with a child, decided to spend our vacation in Gagra, chose this hotel simply through the Internet according to the description. We chose a three-room suite, spacious, with air conditioning, a TV, a refrigerator, etc. , the cost of 1 day was 5100 rubles. But what we ended up getting for the money left us despondent:
1) The information about the hotel says that it is located 200 meters from the sea. Yes, it is, but the distance is calculated in a straight line, i. e. if only head over heels from the mountain, but in fact you need to walk 200 meters to the elevator and then the same amount from there, this is at best.
2) The room is huge, yes, but this is perhaps its only plus! The condition is very deplorable. A persistent smell of dampness and mustiness, old furniture left over from the times of the USSR and never repaired, mattresses from the same time, a leaking toilet; broken glass (that and look, the window will slam from the draft, and the glass will begin to crumble into fragments); cracked frames (i. e. sound transmission is such that it is simply unrealistic to fall asleep before 00:00 - music is loudly yelling on the beach, local performers are bawling songs, there is a disco); TV - 3 channels, working with varying degrees of success (and the weather is such that it can rain for half a day, there is simply nothing to do there at all, naturally there is no animation in the hotel); room service is generally a song, cleaning consisted only of taking out the garbage once a day, no change of bed linen, towels, carpets everywhere that no one vacuums;
3) Nutrition. I didn't think it was even possible in today's world. Feeding level below the school canteen, no choice - what they gave you eat, and it can be liver cutlets with dry rice / buckwheat, and empty pasta, and pea soup... Allergic to some foods? Don't eat something? Vegetarian God forbid? Your problems! Everything is greasy and low-grade, in general, from the cheapest products. From drinks, compote and the cheapest tea brewed in a common large teapot.
4) All more or less nearby points of sale of products have such a meager assortment that there is no sense in them: ice cream, beer, sweets. The nearest grocery store is 30-40 minutes away, and you need to cross a busy street in the absence of a pedestrian crossing, since the underpass has been flooded with water for a long time, and no one uses it. The store itself, of course, is not a supermarket, but a classic general store, with a queue.
In a word, the ratio of price and quality of the services offered is so skewed that it makes no sense at all to travel to this country, to this hotel for sure.
