Chose this hotel online. Good thing I didn't book a room. Immediately about the reservation, if you don’t like it here, the money is not returned, only if you don’t warn them 20 in advance! days. I don't think you'll like it here. I'll explain why:
1) The saddest moment is food. If you can even call it food. Just murder. For 400 rubles per day (adult) and 240 rubles. (childish) you will get food like in the most seedy canteen, if not worse. Were in September, when there was a sea of ​ ​ vegetables and fruits on the market. And it literally cost a penny. We in Sealande choked on last year's boiled beets, so we never saw a fresh vegetable salad. Soups - only on the water with a small piece of potatoes and cabbage. Sausage and frankfurter are a rare guest and 100% the cheapest, they didn’t even smell of flavorings. Of the side dishes, only potatoes. puree and pasta. If there were cutlets, then in my opinion they were from chicken, they were rare. The portions are small, as stolen, honestly. Not only men, but even women did not eat up. For children, porridge with sour milk is also the norm. And instant coffee from sachets on the children's table,... and so you can list indefinitely. If you pay for food immediately, then the money will not be returned either.
Everyone was shocked by the food. It was especially hard for those who paid in full for this burda and were forced to eat it (I can’t even call it food). It ended, of course, with the fact that my child was poisoned and we collected our things and moved out.

2) About the beach and the sea. The beach is not far, about 5 minutes, very dirty, where it costs 50 hryvnia clean, it's about 200 rubles, although then we found the Oasis beach, where for 10 hryvnia (maybe more expensive in the season) a good clean beach. This Sealand guesthouse includes FREE access to this garbage beach.
3) About the room - not bad, some rooms have a sea view, furniture and appliances are all modest (while everything works and whole), the audibility is excellent. The room was cleaned every day, normally, the towels were changed, but it seems they were not washed, but simply rinsed in water. For the money that cleaners are paid there, it’s strange that they even came to our room to clean up. And the salary of cleaners is 1000 gr, which is about 4000 rubles. I am writing to make it clear what stingy people are the owners of the boarding house.
4) The boarding house itself is far from the center, from the market, to the nearest store go at a brisk pace for about 20 minutes, to the pharmacy, just go, minibuses run somewhere until 11 o'clock. When it rained, heavy and not so long, the Simferopol street was flooded, the tram did not run for several days, the water was knee-deep, there were no drains. In general, the boarding house is located on the outskirts of Evpatoria, and literally lived up to its name "Sealand" - a sea island, for a few days for sure.
5) Well, about the prices. The deception began as soon as we arrived here: the price for the room was (absolutely the same as ours) 320 hryvnia. We were asked 640 hryvnia per day - for the days that we were in August (allegedly the season, although the rooms were occupied by max. 25-30%) and only from September 320 gr. Although all and August paid 320 gr. Divorce. In "Veles", for example, where the level is higher compared to Sealand, an order of magnitude higher, the price per room was 300 gr.
Conclusion: THINK VERY WELL BEFORE YOU COME TO Sealand, it is beautifully written on the site and the pictures are nothing, but it's just all virtual. There is little to match reality.
