For the first and probably the last time we rested with our family in Ellings "Start" at the end of July this year. We booked a room at Sveta with Igor-B9 (second and third floor, first line, entrance from the yard). We drove for a very long time from the rain-drenched, cold St. Petersburg, hoping for a good rest, but our hopes were not destined to come true.

For the first and probably the last time we rested with our family in Ellings "Start" at the end of July this year. We booked a room at Sveta with Igor-B9 (second and third floor, first line, entrance from the yard). We drove for a very long time from the rain-drenched, cold St. Petersburg, hoping for a good rest, but our hopes were not destined to come true.
According to information from the Internet and after talking with Svetlana, we decided to rent a room on the first line, although it is very expensive, but the sea is nearby. The room was rented to us by pleasant Svetlana and Igor, very courteous, sincere people, so it seemed to us. They showed everything, drove around the base for a long time, showed the beach, where they proudly noted the number of sunbeds. Then they brought us to a store, supposedly their own, and promised discounts on the entire range (later the seller girl said that if we needed strong alcohol, then we would contact Svetlana directly at any time of the day). In general, they introduced themselves almost as owners, even allowing us to park our car where we like (but we parked it and more on that later). Then they quickly asked for money, and at once the entire amount, although initially we agreed that we would pay for the first week, and then for the second. As soon as they received them from us, without issuing any papers, then our happy and long-awaited vacation and all the bright expectations from him ended. We immediately became not interested in them and all our problems are directly related to their number, the same. Later we learned that they were not owners, but simply hired managers and broken furniture, a non-working air conditioner that was never fixed (and this is when it was +35 outside), a miserable amount of cutlery and kitchen utensils, rusty pots and pans, smoking and left and right and bottom so that there was a feeling that you were living in an ashtray (and to all the remarks of smokers they heard one answer: “Sveta allowed us” - grief managers apparently consider this to be the norm. Cars are constantly parked at the boathouse E (these are the same numbers of this couple) and loud music played from them around the clock, and our balcony just went out to this boathouse. And we could not remove the big jeep from our doors, which interfered with our entrance and exit, remarks, the same one answered: “Sveta allowed me. ” Moreover, cars from other boathouses, where you can see other owners or managers, were sent to the parking lot every day by a woman on a scooter, for which many thanks to her!
No one gave us discounts in the store and was not going to give us, since the store turned out to be not theirs. There are a lot of sunbeds on the beach, but they belong to other boathouses, and Sveta and Igor simply don’t have enough of them and they offer to lie on hot pebbles ((((. The barbecue was never made, three barbecues on the first line were always occupied, and they are property other rooms. We asked Igor to give a brazier and received the answer: "where you see a free one there and fry. " We also noticed that there is silence and tranquility near other boathouses, people there normally and calmly relax, enjoying nature and the sea. But in the rooms, who rent Sveta and Igor, daily chants until the morning, drinking, fighting, police. he took the money and left. Interestingly, if there really is an owner, does he know what is happening in his possession? It's a shame most of all that the place is amazing, but because of all these problems, we will probably never come here again and will not advise our friends .

This is a whole complex of 3-storey houses (about 10 units). We rested in the boathouse E3. Great boathouse. The renovation in the room is excellent, the furniture is of high quality. Fully equipped kitchen (refrigerator, microwave, built-in electric stove, extractor hood, full set of dishes, sink, kettle).

Fully equipped kitchen (refrigerator, microwave, built-in electric stove, extractor hood, full set of dishes, sink, kettle). Large balcony with table and chairs. The hosts (Svetlana and Igor) are very friendly and helpful. Ideal for families. Protected area, car under the windows. Private small beach. The beach is about 20 meters. We had a boathouse on the second line, there is on the first - they have windows overlooking the sea. Of the minuses - there are very large pebbles on the beach, it's hard to get in and out without shoes. Those who are looking for entertainment (cafes, nightclubs) - you are not here. To Ordzhonikidze 2 km, to Feodosia about 8 km. In general, they were satisfied

Previously, they went only to the southern coast of Crimea, but here the conditions are better, the sea is no worse and the prices are lower.

In order about the hotel. Rather, this is not a hotel, but a whole village of two dozen buildings, intelligently planned and built by someone. Fenced, guarded, its own beach (carved on a slope, fortified, with imported pebbles, a little sand, better than in Koktebel, but worse than in Ordzhenikidze, the site is in the same place, there are lots of places, this is not a skirt for you, merchants climb through - they quietly sell goodies, but they throw all their circles-mattresses right there - no one will touch).

If you don't have kids, don't think of coming here. If there is, especially if there are a few kids, yes with a grandmother, yes you have a family of a dozen people - you are here. I was with my husband and two children aged 3 and 6. It's not easy with a company like this. Here they spent all the time with a company of the same decent devils. Till night.
The first days I was afraid - then I stopped.
The rooms are excellent, the ceilings are 3 meters, the euro, the water is always hot, there was dishes, we had the hostess Anya - 27 boathouse, a great fellow, they cleaned the veranda every day, the room once a week, she provided everything, even gave a cot for nothing for a child. The dishes are good, bedding, towels, etc.
On the territory of the store, everything is normal prices. Cooked by myself - I love it so much. Parking in rooms is more expensive right under the house - cheaper in a common guarded parking lot without a dedicated space.
In general, we are satisfied. Yes - there are 2 sunbeds for the room, but this is not a problem for us, it’s not possible to force the whole beach with them, in the high season there was always free space. In general, I advise everyone . . the audience is decent. Prices match.

We rested in July in the boathouse cooperative start at Olga, we liked it, the sea is clean, the territory is well-groomed, not overloaded, unlike the neighboring boathouses katran, where there are three times more vacationers on the same territory, and the car must be left outside the territory, while at the start we put it near the boathouse.

The entrance to the sea is large pebbles, I advise you to take special shoes. The view around is very beautiful. The hosts are not Crimeans, which is very pleasing, because. there is no this typically Crimean desire to solve all their financial problems by "shoeing" the remnants of Crimean vacationers. We went to Feodosia for shopping, in Crimea they are terribly overweight, and in Feodosia in the market and along the highway, we bought in three different places, underweight is about 30% everywhere, apparently, Crimeans really need money, be vigilant.

I read negative reviews about Katran, it's all nonsense !!! ! The three of us had a rest (me, my wife and a child of 7 years old) We lived on the second line in the 27 boathouse, the hostess's name is Anya, a very friendly girl. The room was cleaned every two days, sometimes they ate nearby in the canteen, the food was decent for little money, they even cooked it a couple of times to order)) As for the children, our little one only came to eat, it was not scary to let one go, since the territory is guarded.

The kids mostly yell on the first line, we had peace and quiet. Smoke from the barbecue, of course, is present, but it is within an hour, maybe a little more in the evening. In Egypt, no one complains when insects are poisoned on the territory of the hotel, so consider that this is from mosquitoes))) The sea is clean, and what dawns you will rock. We met the guys on the first line, stayed up until the morning. Booked through the site, the photos correspond to reality. Booking prepaid per day.
In general, everything was fine with us, and if you go with a bad attitude, it seems to me that you won’t have a good rest anywhere !!!!!! !

In early September, we gathered with a small child in the Crimea by car, the choice fell on the town of Ordzhonikidze, which is between Feodosia and Koktebel. Housing was rented far from the city in the "Start" boathouses, a little further than the "Kartran" boathouses, the accommodation was booked via the Internet.

In early September, we gathered with a small child in the Crimea by car, the choice fell on the town of Ordzhonikidze, which is between Feodosia and Koktebel. Housing was rented far from the city in the "Start" boathouses, a little further than the "Kartran" boathouses, the accommodation was booked via the Internet. The sea there is very clean, a very large area, spacious and not unimportantly clean beaches, very little crowded place! No one wears ANYTHING on the beach. Our room was 20 meters from the sea, a spacious room with a huge bed, air conditioning, satellite TV, a huge balcony with sunbeds and a table, the sea view is just adorable. Even dolphins swim. To meet the dawn there is an indescribable beauty. For the first time I understood what it is like to sleep under the sound of the sea. . . there are no discos, no entertainment nearby, an ideal place for a relaxing holiday with a child. There is nothing to do there without a car.
We had everything for free, sunbeds, barbecue, bottled water, secure parking on site, and much more. We had our own food, we took all the food from Kharkov, right down to the water.
To Feodosia 10 minutes by car through a beautiful area. To Koktebel 18. For fruit went to Feodosia.
Impressions from the rest are only positive! from the rest received a lot of pleasure.
What did not like:
In the city of Ordzhonikidze, I didn’t really like it... the thumping local bums on the beaches, a bunch of algae and the smell from them simply cannot be conveyed, in the evening the midges on the embankment just had a bite, in short, horror... , as a result, we went to Koktebel and Feodosia.
At 500 meters there are boathouses "Kartran" and that anthill in their side is a tent camp, and a lot of garbage.
NEVER refuel at gas stations of the Crimea TNK is a star... .

Booked through the Internet, a month before settling. Upon arrival, a town of three-story boathouses. located in Dvuyakornaya Bay, 3 km from Ordzhonikidze and 9 km from Feodosia. The territory is guarded, entry by passes, car under the window. We rented the Blue Room (3M) on the third floor - a huge balcony with sunbeds, a table, chairs.

The territory is guarded, entry by passes, car under the window. We rented the Blue Room (3M) on the third floor - a huge balcony with sunbeds, a table, chairs. sea view, after 12 hours -shade. The room has a good repair, air conditioning, TV, satellite, large bed, orthopedic mattress, towels. There are only 5 rooms in the boathouse, each with a different design. Bathroom-one for 2 rooms, which did not bother a bit. Kitchen on the second floor with all utensils, electric stove (built-in), extractor hood, microwave, washing machine, air conditioning, large refrigerator. The beach under the window (double-glazed windows) is not large, but it is always free, because the boathouses are not yet inhabited by 80%.
Entering the water is problematic, pebbles of different sizes press the heels very much, but it is only 1-1.5 meters, and after it there is sand. Depth - from 30 cm. up to 1.70m. for a distance of 50-70m. deep into the sea, there is where to swim freely. The owner, Alexei, a young man with an enviable capacity for work, cleaned the boathouse every day, took out the garbage, brought water for the cooler, fully justified the word "owner". The cost is 50 USD. e. per day
Bottom line: a great place for a quiet, family vacation with all the benefits of civilization, but away from it.

Katran is not exactly what is presented in the photo and promised by phone. Having booked a room there and arrived there, we were unpleasantly surprised by this Shanghai, you can’t call it otherwise. Dusty air from the construction site, always screaming children, a very small beach for the number of people who live there, pebbles that bite into the heels and, in addition, the eternal smell of burnt meat from barbecues in the evenings.

There are good rooms, but unfortunately that's all. The kitchen, as it was originally stated, is homemade, just a garbage dump, it is impossible to eat. And the apotheosis of everything is treatment, which are located in close proximity to these "a la apartments" In general, I do not advise anyone, wasted money and nerves.
