Suddenly, unexpectedly, they were moved to look at Kamyanets-Podilsky (we decided to combine business with pleasure, that is, to see the city and celebrate my husband's birthday). Much has been heard but not seen. In the evening we decided to go - in the morning we set off (by car). Five and a half hours of travel through the pits and potholes (such roads we have, especially in the spring) - and the key is in our pocket (on the road and its nuances, I will answer in a personal if you are interested).
The hotel was not chosen, because. two weeks ago, our son was in this city with a youth company and gave us clear instructions on where to settle. There, we, in the end, settled, without any problems.
So, a report on the Hetman Hotel.
1. Location:

You can’t think of a better place - the center of the old city, where all the main attractions are within walking distance. The hotel is located in an old building of the 18th century, which in itself is already a landmark. You left the main entrance, walked a hundred meters - and you are already at the City Hall, one of the historical sights of the city.
2. Number:
We had a junior suite (450 UAH per day with breakfast), consisting of a hall-living room (leather couch, table, TV on the cabinet), a corridor (wardrobe, sideboard, refrigerator), a bedroom (a large comfortable bed with an orthopedic mattress, a bedside table with a table lamp, a table, individual air conditioning), a large bathroom (shower, toilet, mirror, sink, shelf, etc. ). Everything is done with the soul, you feel comfortable, at home. Also in the room there are bathrobes, towels (four each), safe, shower gel, shampoo, sewing kit, shower cap, hairbrush. Refrigerator-bar, filled with the minimum necessary (different water, beer, chips, nuts, cookies), however, there is no freezer in it, despite the presence of an ice mold. Of the very pleasant - the presence of decent quality Wi-Fi.
3. Hotel:
The hotel itself is a kind of museum, which was created by the owner on his own. There are so many exhibits of Ukrainian life, selected with a soul, that you constantly find something new - very interesting!
The hotel has its own restaurant (the design is super! ) with an underground hall and a street platform with the Grandma's Hut. Unfortunately, during our stay, the restaurant was closed (the lack of season and fasting affected), but judging by the quality of the breakfasts served to us, the cuisine in it is excellent! The hotel also has its own Finnish sauna of excellent quality with a swimming pool. The sauna is not included in the price (until 23.00 - 100 UAH per hour, after 23.00 - 120 UAH per hour, minimum order 2 hours, the price includes herbal tea of ​ ​ decent quality), but I recommend visiting it.
Smoking inside the hotel is prohibited!
4. Interior:

Requires special attention - from the first steps in the hotel (and this is the reception), you feel in the "residence of the Hetmans. " Everything is so thought out and corresponds to this idea that one simply marvels at the imagination of people who are fanatically in love with this spirit (this is felt at every step). Portraits (in originals) of all the Hetmans of Ukraine, and even authentic costumes of those times, are hung along the stairs. Across the entire flight of stairs, a red banner is hung, on which the words of the anthem are hand-embroidered - impressive! There are also canvases that tell about the heroes of past times. In general, the depth of the idea and its implementation impressed us. Cleanliness and well-groomed - correspond!
5. Restaurant:
This is a must see! With what inspiration and love everything is done there! And the interior decoration (one painting on the entire wall is worth something! ), And the courtyard, and especially, "Grandma's hut"!
6. Service:
They did not even expect that in Ukraine, you can feel like in Europe! Service - courteous! The girls from the reception (special thanks to Oksana for her sensitivity and responsiveness, as well as for the opportunity to inspect the entire hotel), the maids - impeccable service, no questions! Even such a trifle as ice was delivered to our room upon request, while even the minimum tip was accepted by people clumsily and with a guilty look (it was clear from everything that they were not accustomed).
Definitely, we will gather a company and get out there again! If the price is right, I highly recommend!
I will write a separate story about the city itself, as well as about a trip to Khotyn. I don't want to throw it all away.
If there are questions, I will be happy to answer.
