Странно Weird

Now a couple of fly in the ointment. Opposite the hotel there is an eatery called "Halt", until 3 o'clock in the morning hellish music bombs there, the chanson covered with bad voices frightens, unnerves, does not let you sleep. This, of course, is not the fault of the hotel administration, but please note. The following: there is practically no “face control” in the hotel, one gets the impression of a passage courtyard, you don’t want to leave the keys at the reception. Of the little things: sometimes there are interruptions in water supply, plumbing fails, many non-working sockets are found in the rooms, washed linen, it is better to have your own towel, mattresses, pillows and blankets are stained. And now the most interesting. We stayed at the Astoria at the beginning of September 2015. A couple of days after arrival, we were surprised: a fair unfolded in the lobby! For three days in a row, from 9.00 to 21.00, gentlemen from Tashkent were selling various rags, filling the entire aisle with counters, shoes, and bales. People from the street dug into it all, preventing the guests from getting to the rooms. Fellow sellers spent the night and ate right in the same hall, they had to step over their sneakers, teapots, sausage, trying not to react to impudent, unpleasant flirtations... At the entrance to the hotel they put up (apparently to attract customers) a column, turning on the full power of the song from the repertoire of Murat Tkhagalegov and others like him. That is, at night we died from serenades from "Halt", and in the morning we were met by oriental howls - a double "pleasure" with a maximum sound. The desire of the management to earn an extra penny by renting free premises is quite understandable, but still... However, thanks to the administration for the fact that, at the request of relocating us from this first-floor booth, she immediately organized a room on the 5th floor. By the way, do not take rooms on the 1st floor: there are no air conditioners, you have to open the windows. And they climbed into the neighbors through an open window at night (for the purpose of robbery, I believe). These events, which coincided with our arrival in Feodosia and accommodation in the Astoria, spoiled the impression of the rest. Summing up, I will say that Astoria is a normal place for inexpensive accommodation, with its own history, its own atmosphere and rules. I paid for the three stars - don't find fault with old blankets, broken beds and disgruntled faces of the staff, we decided. Probably, someone there will even like it.
