More recently, when we were a little younger and poorer, in search of a budget holiday, we came to Sevastopol.
We rented a room from the hostess at Yumashka, stomped along the plane tree alley to the beach for 20 minutes, tasted draft Evpatoria, two hryvnias per glass, went by bus to Fiolent and were absolutely happy. We have become
older and more respectable, there was an opportunity to relax in imported resorts... But still, once a year we tried to come here at least for a couple of weekends, because not only my husband's childhood years, but also our honeymoon passed in Sevastopol : )
It makes no sense to rent an apartment for one or two nights, and the owners are reluctant to do this, shamelessly winding up the price for short overnight stays. We don’t like sunbathing, but the concrete “Khrustalka” (“Crystal Beach”) was quite suitable for us, so the TOK (Tourist and Recreation Complex) “Crimea” was chosen as the place of “deployment” - a large twelve-story hotel on the Square of the Rebels. A good location in the central part of the city and an excellent view of the ancient Khersones from the 8th floor - that's, perhaps, all that is good about it. Stayed here three times, and all three times with "adventures".
Booking in the "Crimea" occurs exclusively by fax. And it doesn't matter at all that yesterday, before getting on the train, you heard the administrator's encouraging words on the phone: "Come, there are rooms. We are waiting! " Upon arrival, you will have to enter into a lengthy debate with the reception, because "yesterday there was another shift. " The design of the rooms is designed in the classic "budget" style "back to USSR" (and not in its best years). By the way, staying in a hotel is not so “budget”, a place in a “standard” double room is 240 UAH (per person), total 480 UAH for a room without hot water, with a bathroom tiled in the early 80s of the last century. A place in a triple room costs 90 UAH. per bed, in it, unlike a double, the presence of repair is not even imitated. If it were not for a shabby TV with a remote control rewound with electrical tape, the effect of "immersion in the past" would be complete. Black mold in the bathroom is a "corporate style" TOK "Crimea" and is present in most hotel rooms.
The breakfast deserves special praise. You cannot refuse it (it is "tightly" attached to the price of your room), but it is worth LOOKING at it (it is optional). Eating takes place in a (already) non-functioning nightclub, from 7 to 8.30 in the morning. The semi-dark room is not illuminated (savings), a cart with cold semolina will be rolled up to your table, a little later they will bring barely warm portions with pilaf or "navy-style" pasta. The final "accord" of breakfast is tea from a large teapot, on which "tea" is written in red oil paint (this is so that customers know what they are drinking). You can’t ask for supplements... Yes, however, you don’t want it. "Pishcheblok" and the hotel administration are in "contra", we realized this when one day we forgot the camera during breakfast. Apparently, in order to annoy the "canteen" in the lobby of the hotel, they opened a "bar" where you can drink a cup of decent coffee and eat a sandwich warmed up in the microwave. Of the two elevators in the hotel, only one works (on 12 floors! ). Once, together with us, a junior team of swimmers, consisting of boys of 10-12 years old, stopped to wait, who endlessly rode the elevator, as a result of which, the ascent to the 8th floor and descent from it took a lot of time.
A safety deposit box is provided for guests. Savings boxes are located in the lobby, in front of the reception. On our last visit, we wanted to rent one of them. On the first day, we were told that all the cells were occupied and would be vacated in the morning, in the morning they said that there was a cell, but they would give the key to it after lunch, when a new shift came... After the scandal, we received a cell, but change from 100 UAH. I had to wait two more days.
However, all the roughness of the hotel service will smooth out the hospitality and friendliness of the local population. Before the train departed, running into a bar on Lazarev Square, paying and asking to bring the order quickly, we heard in response: "Are you leaving? Well, that's right! The fewer you are, the better for us! " “What are you talking about? I don’t come here empty-handed! I’m bringing money to your city! ” - the husband flared up. "They think we need their money! " the waitress slammed the plates on the table. . .
Station, platform, our car, as luck would have it, at the very end of the train, almost 10 minutes before departure. I scurry along the train, looking suspiciously at the cars - most of them are already closed. O! Here is ours, the conductor is already on the bandwagon, shouting for us to hurry up. We barely had time to jump on the train, which left 5 minutes ahead of schedule. We are sitting in a compartment, Quarantine Bay, warships, boys on the pier are slowly floating outside the window... "Probably, next time we should stay in another hotel? My husband looked at me frowningly: "You, as you know, but personally I don't go to Crimea anymore! "
I wish you all pleasant travels and bright impressions! : )
