We rested in Mirny in 2013, in June.
We were in Odessa 3 times, last visit we also stayed in Mirny, but in a room of a lower category and usually in July.
Since the tourist season in Odessa begins in July, in connection with this, in the hotel, or rather with meals at it (this is a separate cafe, i. e. a separate legal entity according to the papers, but in fact it is a cafe at the hotel) there are some problems . If during normal tourist times the cafe has a comprehensive offer for breakfast and lunch, then the rest of the time you can have a maximum of breakfast. But I will write about it below.

The room, which we booked very well in advance, was of the "Euro-comfort" category. Good furniture, fresh renovation, good room size. The balcony, however, like everyone else, is for 2 rooms, so if you have neighbors behind the wall, is it better to walk around the room in clothes and close the curtains in the mornings / evenings ? . There are no complaints about the room, cleaning in the room and the hotel itself. True, it is not close to the sea, as they say in the description, as well as to the center. But a good transport interchange with a tram (where we really immerse ourselves in the local color) and with minibuses compensates for this if the goal is not only to lie on the beach.
Let's return to the cafe, because of which the main adventures were.
As I wrote above, even though there is no lunch offer in the cafe in June (by the way, it’s almost impossible to have a tasty and inexpensive lunch near Mirny, you had to go to the center), but this does not apply to breakfast. For a small amount you can have a very tasty breakfast.
One day for breakfast, among other things, I ordered myself fried eggs. They brought it to me not quite well-done (the protein was still liquid in some places). Closer to dinner, I felt a strong chill in my body and nausea, there was no temperature. In the evening I began to vomit non-stop. The next morning, a slight fever rose. To my regret, I started to knock her down. I didn't eat or drink anything but water that day. The next day, severe diarrhea was added to the vomiting. There was no doubt now that it was salmonellosis. A small lyrical digression: salmonella is found on the shell of eggs, if the shell has not been washed (according to sanitary standards, it is washed in 2 waters), salmonella enters the egg directly when broken, if the eggs do not receive proper heat treatment (roasting), salmonella enters the human body . This happened to me.

I went downstairs to the administrator, asked if they had a doctor on staff. There was no doctor. I told about my symptoms and that I sin on their scrambled eggs. Half an hour later, Mrs. Trandasir T. S. came running to my room. and she began to assure me that I couldn’t get poisoned by them, it’s all the sea’s fault, she gave me a pack of activated charcoal (yeah, otherwise I didn’t have it) and a pill of some antibiotic little known to me. Generosity really knows no bounds, huh. On the advice of a doctor friend, I sent my husband to the pharmacy, bought me the necessary medicines. On the same night (and it was already the 3rd day and 3rd night of my illness) I got even worse, vomiting and diarrhea were non-stop, I asked the administrator to call an ambulance. For 2 hours (!!! ) she refused to call her until I threatened to call the Russian consulate right away. I was taken to the Infectious Diseases Hospital by ambulance. To their misfortune, I heard the conversation between the emergency doctor and the administrator in the lobby. It was literally said: "If they find an infection in her, they will torture you with checks, so it's better to start cleaning up. "
I stayed in the hospital for 3 days (this is a separate song). At the reception, as you know, they take a bunch of all sorts of tests, which, according to the regulations, are done within 3 working days. Since the period of our stay in this city was coming to an end, I tried to find out the results of the tests by phone. My analyzes were “ready” in 7 (!!!! ) days. And, by the way, according to their results, I was admitted to the hospital as an absolutely healthy person?
These documents were eventually sent to my home address, in Russia. For this, special thanks to the consulate staff and personally to Yu. A. Antonov, who, in addition to words of support, contacted the staff of this boarding house, who refused to let me back to the hotel for my things. True, this was not necessary, since I was still extremely weak to collect things on my own.
Well, the hotel staff, a separate NO respect for you for shaking 10 UAH from your husband for a teaspoon, which I took with me to the hospital. You could close your eyes to this
In general, Odessa is a beautiful city, we will go again! Not a foot in Mirny now.
Thanks to all those who have mastered the entire post.
