Отель "Оскар" отдых в мае Hotel "Oscar" rest in May

We rested in early May 2011. I will try to be objective. In general, the hotel is good. But, as it happens, shortcomings are remembered better. I must say right away that I was pleasantly surprised that when you start speaking Russian, all the staff also switch to Russian. An overlay happened when booking, I booked a room for a month by phone, they promised a 10% discount on a weekday and 30% on weekends. Just in case, I called back a week in advance, it turned out that there was no reservation in my name, but since it was not the season, there were rooms, I booked again, asked to be sent to the email. address confirmation, they promised, but never waited, reminded me about the discount, they answered that since they promised me 10%, they would give me, but 30% - no, the promotion ended. They offered to arrange a meeting at the airport, they called the price 350 hryvnia, I agreed, they called back an hour later, they said that the price was 400 hryvnia, I refused, ordered a taxi in Lviv, found the address on the Internet, a nice driver arrived in a decent foreign car, took 320 hryvnia. There are very nice young people at the reception, very polite, but they forgot to warn that they are undergoing repairs, they spent a week under the noise of a jackhammer, I was glad that they didn’t work in bad weather. The hotel is conveniently located, indeed, in the center, in a quiet side street, but next to the railway, but trains run very rarely, our windows overlooked the city, we did not hear anything. We took a standard room, it is of medium size, divided into 2 zones, a bedroom and an entrance hall, a large comfortable bed with a good mattress, but very small pillows, uncomfortable, carpet, there is a TV and a small refrigerator, a table, a chair, 2 bedside tables, a wardrobe, a lot of hangers , at the entrance there is a mirror with a bedside table, a bathroom with good plumbing, a shower, a large heated towel rail, a hair dryer, but tiny. The room does not smell of tobacco, they clean it, the bed is made, the linen is changed constantly, but the towels are somehow unwashed, grayish. Toilet paper is hard, and that was reported inaccurately, in the end we bought our own. There is a basket with soap, shower gel, shampoo, shower cap, sewing kit and ear cleaning kit. In general, very good. The breakfast buffet is included in the price. Never poisoned. I liked breakfast, they gave pancakes with chicken, cottage cheese or mushrooms, young cabbage salad, tomatoes, cucumbers, meat cuts, cheese, butter, eggs, pastries, baked apples, a choice of scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs or porridge, coffee, tea, milk, kefir , cottage cheese, dry food, were full. We tried to have lunch (50 hryvnias), I didn’t really like it, although the waiters serve, lean mushroom soup (mushroom soup), cabbage salad, goulash with a side dish (3 pieces of meat), tea. We had dinner several times in the evening at the restaurant. Not bad. We tried to eat in a nearby cafe and in the dining room (dining room), the same thing, we went to "Two Gusya" in the Furshet shopping center in the lower city, there is inexpensive and decent, a large selection. The price includes an appointment with a doctor and ultrasound. I was appointed to 8-00, apologizing that it was busy at 9-00, I arrived at the time, a young female doctor smartly told me that she couldn’t see me until 10, she was all busy, I reminded me that it was the time was appointed, she said that she would not do an ultrasound anyway, I asked at least how to drink water, this is what she wrote, we didn’t turn to the hotel’s medicine anymore. I can’t say anything about the treatment at the resort, we didn’t use it, although we did not use Med Palace, although I heard both good and bad reviews, they drank water, put leeches. The weather was cold, 3-4 days were sunny and quiet, the rest of the time it was raining, windy, even snowing. The city is small, we walked a lot in the park, walked around the city, they offer many excursions, tickets to concerts. They sell local dried mushrooms and dried herbs. Not far from the hotel there is a deli and a market, in a local way, a bazaar. Moscow prices, in the grocery store you can buy cooking, they will warm it up there. We bought goat milk, tried lard and homemade sausage, pickles, tasty, not pickled
