The room was very warm, +27, we had to open the windows.
The room had a balcony - you could go out and admire the forest with a cup of tea.
The room is clean, there is an electric kettle, crockery and what was especially pleased - a hair dryer.

They were in Skhidnytsia for the first time. I prefer Egypt or Turkey, all of them are included, but everyone knows that there are Carpathians and the sea in Ukraine. Since the quarantine, we decided to go to the Carpathians. The hotel is close to 21 springs. Near the forest, with just a great view from the windows, especially where you will have breakfast.

The hotel is close to 21 springs. Near the forest, with just a great view from the windows, especially where you will have breakfast.
Check-in is fast, people are friendly. Where to leave the car is there and it's free.
There are carpets everywhere in the hotel, but you do not need to take off your shoes or change your shoes.
We had a room at the top. The scenery is great.
The room itself is clean, with new furniture and renovation. All made of wood. The bed is clean, the bed is soft.
The bathroom is very, very small. This is definitely a minus.
Breakfast is included in the price. You choose them at the reception. Breakfast is not great, but very tasty, good and you can eat. The view from the windows of the restaurant is simply magnificent. The same goes for the restaurant. Breakfast will be served to you as soon as you arrive. I liked all the dishes. They are both dietary and delicious.
Then you have a personal hour.
In principle, the hotel does almost nothing, as in all hotels where I was in the Carpathians.
There is a playground with a trampoline, slide. There is a tennis table, barbecue and gazebo.
We followed the sources. Drinking mineral water. No effect for three days, but tried.
In general, people come here for water. There are many different sources, but it is better to consult a doctor before drinking water.
We also took bicycles and rode in the tustan. The road is beautiful, but there are frequent ups and downs. Somewhere you have to go, somewhere you fly from the mountain very, very fast, somewhere up to 60 km / year you accelerate. So take big ones with good brakes. God forbid I fall at such a speed. We also got to the bottom when balloons were launched there. You can ride on them, but the price of 5.000 UAH per person is too much.
In my opinion, 3-4 days is the time when Skhidnytsia will not get tired.
But everyone has their own.

We liked the mini-hotel "At the Sisters" a year ago, when we rested next door to Eva. I really liked the location on the edge of the forest. Although you need to climb a little uphill, the panorama of Skhidnytsia from there is gorgeous. In Truskavets, we did not wait for a regular bus, we went to private traders.

In Truskavets, we did not wait for a regular bus, we went to private traders. But there were practically no people who wanted to go with us. We were lucky that a bus with children turned up, and we arrived quickly and inexpensively. We were offered a transfer at the hotel for 200 UAH, but we refused. We settled in the 33rd room, which we booked in advance. Room in a tree, very cozy, enough space for two. We felt very comfortable, like at home. The room is located on the south side overlooking the forest. Previously, there was no such heat in the Carpathians. Now there was no air conditioning. In hot weather, we sat in the gazebo. There is at least some wind. Next to the gazebos is a large meadow of daisies. We enjoyed the smell of cut grass on the lawn.
For breakfast, in addition to a full-fledged second course, there was also either a salad, or cottage cheese, or a baked apple with honey. The menu is very varied. They also had fruit for lunch and cookies for dinner. From the drinks there was tea (we mostly drank herbal Carpathian), coffee, compote, uzvar, kefir, yogurt. Everything is delicious and fresh. In addition, a beautiful view from the veranda. I think that it is quite possible to get by with two meals a day. For those who need kolybing, Skhidnytsia is clearly not the right place. The Sisters have the opportunity to cook barbecue. But for those who come to be treated with water, it is better not to eat them.
What also attracted us was the opportunity to drink soda water in the hotel. You don't have to go to the source. And the queues this year at the springs were much longer. Springs 25 and 26 can be reached in 20 minutes. Cross the stream and further through the forest, you can take a steeper road or a more gentle one. The only disadvantage of the location is that it takes half an hour to walk to the market. We love to walk, but not in the heat.
Fruits on the market are expensive. A large glass of strawberries cost 50 UAH, blueberries 25 UAH.
We didn't get bored. We walked a lot and went on several excursions. Most of all we liked the walking route from the 3rd to the 18th source. Recently a new 5* complex "Three Blues and Donka" has been built. It hasn't been fully completed yet. There will also be a water park and a hippodrome. From the springs to the complex, an asphalt road was laid through the forest. We enjoyed walking there. Last year we didn't get to Spring #5. It is located in the forest and after the rain you need to walk on wet clay. Very beautiful views of the mountains and a lot of blueberries from there. I kept planning to go there early in the morning to see the sunrise. But she never left. Who has not yet been to Drohobych and Sambir, I strongly advise you to go there. There are excursions to Sambir on Saturdays, when you can listen to the organ in the church. There was a rather short excursion in Sambir, we drove there longer. This city deserves more time.
The concert of organ music almost failed. Water from a leaking roof got into the pipes of the organ and it could not be tuned for a long time. There are no excursions in Drohobych. But I advise you to definitely go there yourself. It is not far. Better through Truskavets on a good road. By bus Skhodnitsa-Lviv to Truskavets bus station and then by minibus to Drohobych. And back to Truskavets, there may no longer be places on the bus. It is better to go from Drogobych with a transfer in Borislav. In Drohobych, first of all, the wooden church of St. Yura of the 17th century deserves attention. with a unique iconostasis and wall paintings. Also impressive is the huge Gothic church. These two regional centers of the Lviv region have a rich history and beautiful architecture.
I also highly recommend a trip with a climb to Trostyan in Slavsko. We were delighted with the panoramas seen from the lift and from the top of the mountain. The slopes of the mountain are covered with meadows of flowers. Unforgettable experience.
In conclusion, I want to thank the wonderful people, thanks to whom we had such a wonderful rest. First of all, these are the director Yuri Anatolyevich and the administrator Tatyana. Attentive, responsible, sympathetic and hardworking people who do everything to make you want to come here again.

At the reception Yura and Tanya - well done!
One bad thing is that we have noticed the menu in recent days....it turns out that you could order homemade dumplings.... It was in a bedside table, where I had no interest in climbing.... The menu should hang in a conspicuous place!!!!
Dining room. Clean plates, clean tables, chairs, tablecloths. The view from the dining room is amazing!

We stayed at this hotel for the first time, although we have been traveling to Skhidnytsia for more than 10 years. The selection criteria were reviews on the Internet, including on this site. As the most detailed of all that I had to read. I want to add more power divination and comment on the existing response.

Location. Indeed, 15 minutes from the bus station or 20 from the market To the "Andropov" springs 25 / 2.900 meters or 15 minutes on foot. Indeed, to get there, you need to go down into the ravine and go up to the sanatorium "Green Beer". Go down the trampled path to the stream. The path is made of stairs and railings made of young pine. Quite convenient. Problems can only be with heavy snowfalls.
But the road to the springs and back all the time through the forest of monsters by air. Given the fact that the process of treatment with water such as "oil" transmits quite a lot of walking - it is necessary to perceive this as an excellent therapeutic procedure.
Room.
We are chewing in room 34 - next to the one where the author of the previous review lived. We have a lot of experience traveling both in Ukraine and abroad. And we always have the necessary set in the car to improve hotel life - extension cord, tee, flashlight for reading, just a flashlight, kettle, shoehorn, cups, napkins, etc. so - this is the first hotel where we did not need anything from this set! Because everything is available! Not only a large number of sockets, but they are located in convenient places. Even a pass-through light switch is provided - it is very inconvenient when you go to bed to go to the door to turn off the light. That's why we take a flashlight. And here is a circuit breaker, I see for the first time. Very comfortable. There is a mosquito net on the windows. Thermometer internal and external. There is a large spoon for shoes - it is easy to put on shoes without bending over. The room has a box with disposable napkins. There is an electric kettle, glasses and cups.
Adjustable batteries, small refrigerator. In the bathroom - electric towel dryer, liquid and ordinary soap, the same bags of shampoo.
Every two days I change not only the towels, but also the shower mat - this is the first time I see this.
In general - the room is very well thought out, everything is in place and convenient.
Food.
Honestly - I do not understand the claims from the previous review. Or maybe the hotel owners have already recovered.
So you can order kefir at least every day, instead of waiting for it to be "given".
I really liked the principle of orders - you choose from two options of salads, two options of the first dish, three options of the second dish.
There are also three variants of the "third" - ordinary and herbal tea, compote, kefir, instant coffee, rosehip drink, yogurt, etc.
Mushrooms were also almost a day later, if you order of course. Kulish with bends in general would be worthy in a restaurant, not in the "sanatorium" food.
And dumplings, dumplings, stuffed cabbage, etc. can be ordered at least daily.
In my opinion, food is just perfect, especially considering that it is dietary. We should not forget that people come to Skhidnytsia primarily because of its water, and not just to relax.

Was in Skhidnitsa "At the sisters" in the second half of August 2014. In principle, I liked it, but I want to dwell in more detail on some points of the hotel in particular and Skhidnitsa in general.
For accommodation and food.
1. The mini-hotel is located not in the center of the village, it takes about 15 minutes to walk from the bus station, not along a flat road, but up into the mountains. So get ready to train your muscles. But the view from the windows (we had a south side) is amazing - only dusk, sky, mountains. Very quiet, cars rarely drive, large landscaped area.
2. The staff is friendly and helpful. They helped to bring suitcases, issued receipts for each payment, promptly responded to requests (replace batteries in the remote control, etc. ).
3. The hotel has video cameras on the floors, fire alarms, security at night, beautiful interior and exterior.
4. The room was 33 attic improved - completely in wood, very cozy. The beds are comfortable, the linen is beautiful, a TV, a wardrobe with a dozen trempels, many sockets, good lighting, satellite TV, the bathroom for the first time in my life had enough shelves and hooks - this is always a rarity in my travels. The view from the balcony, again, is gorgeous. Towels were changed every 2 days, bed linen every 5 days. Once every 2 days, they cleaned the taps, disinfected the toilet, and took out the garbage. There was a carpet in the room, it was not cleaned once in 10 days, although the debris on it was visible to the naked eye. For some reason, they did not report disposable bags with shampoo and soap.
5. Sanatorium-type meals - at lunch you choose what you will eat tomorrow. Breakfast is included in the room rate, lunch 48 UAH, dinner 37.50. We never had dinner. There is a lot of food, but it is monotonous and boring - cottage cheese for breakfast every day, only once in 10 days they managed to make a casserole. Soups / borscht are poured a lot, but they are not tasty. All steamed, baked, stewed food is dietary, in a word. There was a lack of national flavor - dumplings, potato pancakes, cabbage rolls, dumplings. Considering that The Sisters has its own frozen food production facility, this, in my opinion, is very strange. Fresh carrots were given once, half a glass, the rest of the time compotes, sometimes kissels, instant coffee, tea. Mushrooms were also once in Kulish. But we were in the season, mushrooms - Nemer. Cheese, milk, kefir were also not given even once. Meat - chicken and veal. In general, you won’t leave hungry, but it’s boring. There is no vegetarian (lenten) menu, or at least children's portions, people themselves asked to divide lunch into two parts, which, in my opinion, is not very convenient. It could have been a hassle.
6. The hotel paid us a doctor, as promised in the brochure. Taras, an older man, made the most favorable impression. The doctor is just wonderful, he painted everything in detail, asked, explained - a professional in the best sense of the word. On a note, if you are going for real treatment, go through an examination and take tests in advance. We didn't, so he just gave general wellness advice. True, we did not strictly observe them, since several times we went on excursions for the whole day and did not drink water at all during this period.
7. To springs 25-26 (Andropov) go 15 minutes along mountain paths through the forest, at first it’s hard, but you quickly get used to it. 2 soda - 10 minutes down, 357 glycerine and 15 ferrous - 40 minutes, 3rd (the most beautiful) - up to an hour. This is at normal walking pace. Soda water is always available at the entrance to the hotel, the administration is gathering, for which many thanks to them. At the second source, there is always a long line, enterprising locals even sell it.
In general, the hotel pulls on a solid four. For lovers of a quiet, remote from the hustle and bustle of rest.
According to Skhidnytsia
1. This is a village, if you need entertainment (disco, concerts, cinema, etc. ) - you need to go to Truskavets or Morshyn. In Skhodnitsa, all this is simply not there. Tension even with the usual restaurants, cafes, huts, which for me has become a real savagery. In fact, every hotel, even a small one, offers complex meals to guests. Some large hotels in the center have a common entrance to a cafe, but when we tried to celebrate our arrival in a restaurant, we were refused one because “the kitchen does not take orders”, in the other there were terrible plastic tables on the street, on which flies crawled and we they did not dare to go there, the third dining room found is open by the hour (breakfast, lunch, dinner). We barely found an unfortunate cafe, but the service was disgusting and tasteless. Realistically, there just isn't the usual decent place to eat. Such is the paradox in the resort town. How much I travel around Ukraine, especially in the western one, I encounter this for the first time. So we ate at our hotel. They ordered lunch, bought feta cheese, fruits, wine in the store for dinner, drank coffee - it was enough for two women. And yes, we also found a Borislav confectionery, where there is a large selection of cut cakes - we tried everything a little bit, very tasty, I advise.
2. If you intend to firmly adhere to the doctor's recommendations for taking some water, get a mug, preferably a metal one. Naftusya is taken at a temperature of 36-40 degrees, it flows icy, so you have to warm it up. There is no infrastructure for this. Tourists buy dry alcohol, set it on fire at the springs, heat water and drink it. Ferrous waters, for example, must be consumed within 10 minutes, otherwise they will lose their beneficial properties. Given that most often water is drunk 30-60 minutes before a meal and 30-60 minutes after, you will have to walk a lot. True, there are exceptions. Soda is stored for a very long time, so it can be collected for several days. Andropov springs (No. 25-26) - up to 2.5 hours. We went to them in the morning, collected a half-liter bottle, returned to the hotel, put it in boiling water for several minutes and drank it warmed up. Half an hour later, they had breakfast, then waited another 30 minutes and drank again. Thus, I had to walk only 3 times a day instead of 6. Be sure to check with your doctor or knowledgeable people how much water is stored in order to get the benefits of taking it.
3. Be sure to bring strong sports warm shoes, rubber boots and a raincoat. The forests are dense, the soil is consistently moist - you simply won’t get through in sandals and flip flops, and if it rains, then no umbrella will save you.
4. There are many excursions to choose from, but, in my opinion, unsuccessful ones. Since it takes a very long time to go from Skhidnitsa to Synevyr, Yaremche, Bukovel, Beregovo, etc. You leave at 5-6 in the morning and return at 8-9 in the evening, or even worse. The bus will have to shake for at least 8 hours, depending on the direction. The roads are just awful, it would be more correct to say they don't exist at all, especially on the Skhodnitsa-Truskavets section. Nearby there are only two entertainments - the Tustan fortress, 7 km away, and fishing. The most terrible road I have ever seen leads to the first one, the fortress existed in the 10th-14th centuries, now only a rock with grooves and a picture that shows how the building looks like remain. But from the mountain there is a good view, although the rise is steep. In the first days of August, they host the Tustan festival - a medieval reconstruction. Worth a visit out of boredom or for general viewing. By the way, the tour was 80 UAH, plus I had to pay another 20 UAH for the entrance, and everyone was taken to taste the kebabs, of course, for a separate fee. In my opinion, it is unreasonably expensive, although this season prices have risen for everything and everywhere, not only in resorts.
5. The market is small, expensive and trivial. It is worth a trip to Truskavets at least once, there is more choice and lower prices. Just keep in mind that sellers do not leave before 10 am, or even after 11 am (industrial part). Therefore, you should not rush, otherwise you will wander between empty shelves. Our friends strongly advised us the Stryi clothing market - cheap, huge choice, many national colorful and high-quality European goods. But the communication between the settlements is simply terrible, regular buses to Truskavets or Lviv run every hour and a half, or even less often (there is a schedule at the bus station). To get to Stryi, you need to change to a local train and run between the bus station and the railway station. We decided that there was too much trouble, waiting between transport and risks, so we never got there.
In general, Skhidnytsia attracts with healing springs, and not with pump rooms, as in Truskavets, which is more valuable. The buildings in it are 1-3 storey, mostly private hotels. There is no feeling of gas pollution, noise, transport and all the “charms” that accompany the metropolis. Quiet, calm village for relaxation and rest without pretensions to colorfulness or high service. Simple, cozy, beautiful. For children there is one single playground, 2-3 paid attractions. Therefore, I would not advise taking offspring older than 5 years, especially teenagers - they will take your brain out of boredom. An ideal place for pensioners or people with intense mental work (teachers, service sector, etc. ). When I get sick or grow old, I will return. Previously, hardly.
For accommodation and food.
1. The mini-hotel is located not in the center of the village, it takes about 15 minutes to walk from the bus station, not along a flat road, but up into the mountains. So get ready to train your muscles. But the view from the windows (we had a south side) is amazing - only dusk, sky, mountains. Very quiet, cars rarely drive, large landscaped area.
2. The staff is friendly and helpful. They helped to bring suitcases, issued receipts for each payment, promptly responded to requests (replace batteries in the remote control, etc. ).
3. The hotel has video cameras on the floors, fire alarms, security at night, beautiful interior and exterior.
4. The room was 33 attic improved - completely in wood, very cozy. The beds are comfortable, the linen is beautiful, a TV, a wardrobe with a dozen trempels, many sockets, good lighting, satellite TV, the bathroom for the first time in my life had enough shelves and hooks - this is always a rarity in my travels. The view from the balcony, again, is gorgeous. Towels were changed every 2 days, bed linen every 5 days. Once every 2 days, they cleaned the taps, disinfected the toilet, and took out the garbage. There was a carpet in the room, it was not cleaned once in 10 days, although the debris on it was visible to the naked eye. For some reason, they did not report disposable bags with shampoo and soap.
5. Sanatorium-type meals - at lunch you choose what you will eat tomorrow. Breakfast is included in the room rate, lunch 48 UAH, dinner 37.50. We never had dinner. There is a lot of food, but it is monotonous and boring - cottage cheese for breakfast every day, only once in 10 days they managed to make a casserole. Soups / borscht are poured a lot, but they are not tasty. All steamed, baked, stewed food is dietary, in a word. There was a lack of national flavor - dumplings, potato pancakes, cabbage rolls, dumplings. Considering that The Sisters has its own frozen food production facility, this, in my opinion, is very strange. Fresh carrots were given once, half a glass, the rest of the time compotes, sometimes kissels, instant coffee, tea. Mushrooms were also once in Kulish. But we were in the season, mushrooms - Nemer. Cheese, milk, kefir were also not given even once. Meat - chicken and veal. In general, you won’t leave hungry, but it’s boring. There is no vegetarian (lenten) menu, or at least children's portions, people themselves asked to divide lunch into two parts, which, in my opinion, is not very convenient. It could have been a hassle.
6. The hotel paid us a doctor, as promised in the brochure. Taras, an older man, made the most favorable impression. The doctor is just wonderful, he painted everything in detail, asked, explained - a professional in the best sense of the word. On a note, if you are going for real treatment, go through an examination and take tests in advance. We didn't, so he just gave general wellness advice. True, we did not strictly observe them, since several times we went on excursions for the whole day and did not drink water at all during this period.
7. To springs 25-26 (Andropov) go 15 minutes along mountain paths through the forest, at first it’s hard, but you quickly get used to it. 2 soda - 10 minutes down, 357 glycerine and 15 ferrous - 40 minutes, 3rd (the most beautiful) - up to an hour. This is at normal walking pace. Soda water is always available at the entrance to the hotel, the administration is gathering, for which many thanks to them. At the second source, there is always a long line, enterprising locals even sell it.
In general, the hotel pulls on a solid four. For lovers of a quiet, remote from the hustle and bustle of rest.
According to Skhidnytsia
1. This is a village, if you need entertainment (disco, concerts, cinema, etc. ) - you need to go to Truskavets or Morshyn. In Skhodnitsa, all this is simply not there. Tension even with the usual restaurants, cafes, huts, which for me has become a real savagery. In fact, every hotel, even a small one, offers complex meals to guests. Some large hotels in the center have a common entrance to a cafe, but when we tried to celebrate our arrival in a restaurant, we were refused one because “the kitchen does not take orders”, in the other there were terrible plastic tables on the street, on which flies crawled and we they did not dare to go there, the third dining room found is open by the hour (breakfast, lunch, dinner). We barely found an unfortunate cafe, but the service was disgusting and tasteless. Realistically, there just isn't the usual decent place to eat. Such is the paradox in the resort town. How much I travel around Ukraine, especially in the western one, I encounter this for the first time. So we ate at our hotel. They ordered lunch, bought feta cheese, fruits, wine in the store for dinner, drank coffee - it was enough for two women. And yes, we also found a Borislav confectionery, where there is a large selection of cut cakes - we tried everything a little bit, very tasty, I advise.
2. If you intend to firmly adhere to the doctor's recommendations for taking some water, get a mug, preferably a metal one. Naftusya is taken at a temperature of 36-40 degrees, it flows icy, so you have to warm it up. There is no infrastructure for this. Tourists buy dry alcohol, set it on fire at the springs, heat water and drink it. Ferrous waters, for example, must be consumed within 10 minutes, otherwise they will lose their beneficial properties. Given that most often water is drunk 30-60 minutes before a meal and 30-60 minutes after, you will have to walk a lot. True, there are exceptions. Soda is stored for a very long time, so it can be collected for several days. Andropov springs (No. 25-26) - up to 2.5 hours. We went to them in the morning, collected a half-liter bottle, returned to the hotel, put it in boiling water for several minutes and drank it warmed up. Half an hour later, they had breakfast, then waited another 30 minutes and drank again. Thus, I had to walk only 3 times a day instead of 6. Be sure to check with your doctor or knowledgeable people how much water is stored in order to get the benefits of taking it.
3. Be sure to bring strong sports warm shoes, rubber boots and a raincoat. The forests are dense, the soil is consistently moist - you simply won’t get through in sandals and flip flops, and if it rains, then no umbrella will save you.
4. There are many excursions to choose from, but, in my opinion, unsuccessful ones. Since it takes a very long time to go from Skhidnitsa to Synevyr, Yaremche, Bukovel, Beregovo, etc. You leave at 5-6 in the morning and return at 8-9 in the evening, or even worse. The bus will have to shake for at least 8 hours, depending on the direction. The roads are just awful, it would be more correct to say they don't exist at all, especially on the Skhodnitsa-Truskavets section. Nearby there are only two entertainments - the Tustan fortress, 7 km away, and fishing. The most terrible road I have ever seen leads to the first one, the fortress existed in the 10th-14th centuries, now only a rock with grooves and a picture that shows how the building looks like remain. But from the mountain there is a good view, although the rise is steep. In the first days of August, they host the Tustan festival - a medieval reconstruction. Worth a visit out of boredom or for general viewing. By the way, the tour was 80 UAH, plus I had to pay another 20 UAH for the entrance, and everyone was taken to taste the kebabs, of course, for a separate fee. In my opinion, it is unreasonably expensive, although this season prices have risen for everything and everywhere, not only in resorts.
5. The market is small, expensive and trivial. It is worth a trip to Truskavets at least once, there is more choice and lower prices. Just keep in mind that sellers do not leave before 10 am, or even after 11 am (industrial part). Therefore, you should not rush, otherwise you will wander between empty shelves. Our friends strongly advised us the Stryi clothing market - cheap, huge choice, many national colorful and high-quality European goods. But the communication between the settlements is simply terrible, regular buses to Truskavets or Lviv run every hour and a half, or even less often (there is a schedule at the bus station). To get to Stryi, you need to change to a local train and run between the bus station and the railway station. We decided that there was too much trouble, waiting between transport and risks, so we never got there.
In general, Skhidnytsia attracts with healing springs, and not with pump rooms, as in Truskavets, which is more valuable. The buildings in it are 1-3 storey, mostly private hotels. There is no feeling of gas pollution, noise, transport and all the “charms” that accompany the metropolis. Quiet, calm village for relaxation and rest without pretensions to colorfulness or high service. Simple, cozy, beautiful. For children there is one single playground, 2-3 paid attractions. Therefore, I would not advise taking offspring older than 5 years, especially teenagers - they will take your brain out of boredom. An ideal place for pensioners or people with intense mental work (teachers, service sector, etc. ). When I get sick or grow old, I will return. Previously, hardly.
