Как жаль, что отпуск быстро пролетел What a pity that the vacation flew by so quickly

We stopped at this hotel by accident. We were going to another, cheaper hotel, on the way the administrator called us and said that something had exploded there (! ) A good start to the holiday)) And then I remembered that a year ago our Muscovite friends stayed at Tavrida and , surprisingly, were satisfied (although, perhaps, these are only our acquaintances who are difficult to please).
So, we got to the hotel, it was getting dark. Of course, prices have risen a little over the year, but not critically. There are rooms with a sea view, and there are cheaper ones with a view of the cable car. They settled us in a standard room, our friends had a junior suite. Our room had everything: cable with 60 Russian channels, a safe, Wi-Fi, a shower with a radio, a kettle, cutlery, a microwave, a huge refrigerator, a huge bed, a sofa bed, an iron, a hair dryer, a balcony with a table and wooden chairs. The junior suite also had a small kitchenette, but we were satisfied anyway, it’s much easier to please us))
Unfortunately, the hotel itself does not have a restaurant, but this is not essential, since the nearest cafe is within walking distance. The next day, we immediately went for a ride on the cable car and discovered the Cousteau restaurant at the top of the cable car, and in the evening we chose the traditional promenade along the embankment, which is separated from the hotel by several steps and intermediate cafes "Marina" and, it seems, "Victoria". In "Marina" the portions were not for children, but "Cousteau" was remembered for its Italian menu, cheese plate, Crimean bottled wine with a cork stopper, excellent view from the terrace and impeccable service.

In the afternoon, the hotel booked an excursion to Massandra, I also wanted to go to their hair stylist, but there was about half an hour left before the excursion, and we gladly went to take pictures in the hotel's winter garden.
Marble stairs, high ceilings and other aristocratic surroundings made us think about the date of construction of this hotel. It turns out that it was built already in 1875 and was called Russia. I think that only the hall and white marble stairs remained from the old building, it’s a pity that the name has not been preserved, and it’s a pity that the vacation flew by quickly . .
