When choosing a place to stay, we were guided by clear criteria - a tennis court, clear sea, a standard room without frills, but with a shower, hot water and air conditioning, as well as some kind of entertainment so as not to be bored in the evening hours.
So - tennis court - one name, if someone goes for the game, choose another place - no one watches the court - the markings are erased, the ground is not rammed, it is impossible to control the rebound, watering is not provided in principle !! ! In general, this was the biggest disappointment for us, since when ordering, we clarified information about the state of the court.
Clean sea - the sea is really clean, a lot of crabs were fun to watch. Sometimes the sea became cloudy due to particles of algae rising from the bottom, covered with small pebbles, but is it really mud? There was always enough space on the beach. Hooray - they were satisfied with the sea.

Room - lived in building number 3 - no windows - they knew about it and, in principle, it was some kind of advantage - in the morning the sun let us sleep. Air conditioning is good, worked properly, refrigerator, TV (only 4 channels - all Russian), hot water was constantly. Of the minuses - the room is old, repairs have been crying for it for a long time, especially for the bathroom - I didn’t want to go into the shower, you need to take toilet paper with you : ). It was also surprising that there is 1 socket for the TV and the refrigerator (so choose... ).
Evening leisure - cafes, walks along the promenade, volleyball, table tennis (only until 20.00), tennis..... wrote above: ((((. In general, not enough.
I also forgot to inform you about the food - the dining room - almost meat dishes under different names are a cutlet with a min amount of meat. Although a couple of times there was pilaf with pork, beef stroganoff, chicken. I liked the presence of milk cereals for breakfast, as well as sour-milk drinks. Who likes to drink coffee in the morning like me - as a maximum, instant Jacobs is waiting for you, there is a natural one on the embankment - they start working only from 10.00.
The guys in the cafeteria are doing a good job. are trying. thank them.
Our vacation was brightened up by trips around the Crimea - Alushta (there we found excellent courts in the Spartak complex), Yalta, Ai Petri, the Yalta Zoo (I highly recommend - the most vivid memory), Massandra (and their wonderful wines)...
Would I go back to this hostel, probably not.
If you have questions about the hotel. I'll try to answer.
