According to a good tradition, after all the New Year holidays, we go to the Carpathians to go skiing. Remembering the last trips to Slavske ( https://www.turpravda.com/ur/slavskoe/Smerekova_Hata-h21367-r29098.html), Zhdeniev ( https://www.turpravda.com/ur/zhdenievo/Smerekoviy_dvir-h17912-r48170 .html) and Oryavchik ( https://www.turpravda.com/ur/orjavchik/Shvagri-h34564-r79618.html), it was decided to re-visit the glorious village of Oryavchik, only the hotel was decided to change to another.
We left by train No. 13 Kyiv-Uzhgorod, and at 7-08 a landing force of skiers landed at the Skole station. The driver of the minibus was already waiting on the platform to take us to the Zveniv Hotel. This is not just a hotel, it is a whole complex. Which includes the hotel itself, a restaurant, a cafe-varenichnaya, a ski rental and two drag lifts.
Check-in, as in many hotels, at 12-00. Of the 6 rooms that we booked, 4 rooms were free in the morning, the remaining 2 got to us in the afternoon. The rooms are not big, let's say, oh-oh-very compact. The walls are whitish plaster with wooden inserts. The beds are double, wooden (if only there were others in the Carpathians). Everything looks clean. Bed linen is colored. Probably so that various spots were not visible, although I did not find it. The extractor in the bathroom worked all the time, because it smelled bad. Rooms on the second floor have a balcony, on the third without a balcony.

Riding last year, I was fascinated by the beauty of the snow-capped mountains. I liked the track, both the length and the difficulty, you have time to enjoy the beauty of the descent. That's why we came here for the second time. There is little snow compared to last year. The day before the arrival it rained and washed away almost all the snow, turning the track into ice. But at night there was a little snow, enough for one day of skiing. During the day, all the snow rolled back to ice. The price of lifts, as in the past year, a small yoke is 10 UAH, a large one is 12 UAH. There are no ski passes. Ski rental - 80 UAH / day. There are no ski goggles to rent. What was especially pleasing was the presence of a large number of "rescuers-observers" who were ready to help you in any situation. Both when landing on the yoke, and when reaching the top, and if you want to get off in the middle of the mountain, please help here too. There is also an instructor - 150 UAH / hour. In the middle of the mountain there is a “kind aunt” who will offer you tea, coffee, mulled wine (10 UAH), as well as potatoes and barbecue (50 UAH-250 gr. ).
Near the small yoke "varenichnaya". I recommend dumplings: with potatoes and mushrooms – super; with cherry - super; with blueberries - super, just ran out quickly; and with meat - not very, strongly ground meat. The disadvantage is that you have to wait a long time, only one girl tries to serve everyone. And takes orders and issues. Although he tries. Average bill: dumplings plus a glass of beer - 45 UAH.
A big plus of the hotel is the presence of a swimming pool, visiting the hotel for vacationers is free. In the room there are lockers for changing clothes, shower and MF. The first day the water was 28 degrees, the last -21. But a lot of bleach, so you won't swim for a long time. They asked the question - why so much bleach, received an answer - so that the "batsyls" would not be bred, for your safety. The next few days everything was fine.
This time there was a desire to visit the sauna. 150 UAH/hour, more than 4 people 200 UAH/hour. Let's just say that in Kyiv I would not go to such a place. There is a small pool with cold water, but not working. There is a bucket for tipping, but does not work. True, a bucket was repaired for us when we began to abandon the sauna. Brooms are not allowed, because there is no pool where they can be washed off. But there is access to a large pool, but there the water is 21-28 degrees. The restaurant does not serve a sauna, but if you ask, they will bring delicious Carpathian tea, as well as draft beer.
The main meal takes place in the restaurant at the hotel. The average price of breakfast is 30 UAH. Dinner will cost up to 60 UAH. But if you want to “bulge out” to the fullest, then invest calmly in 130 UAH. I recommend trying soup with mushrooms, soup with meatballs, bograch, perch with vegetables, duck with grape sauce. And of course, this is vodka on walnut, mint and nettle (this is not some Poplavsky vodka). I did not like the vaunted trout. The kitchen is rated 8 out of 10.

Because the descent was half covered with ice, it was decided to ride on Playa the next days. Good to get 20-25 minutes. We ordered a minibus for 11 people, agreed on a price of -400 UAH. THIS POTS arrives at RENAULT (I think the name is Teodor), in which there are 8 seats + two benches between the seats + a kitchen chair - and the price is already 450 UAH. There is no alternative, you have to go. Having driven, we go back, we decided to stop by for souvenirs (Why? , in Kyiv, the passages are the same). We stopped, arrived at the hotel, we ask how much we owe, and then THIS ELSE gives out - 670 UAH. Where? - Well, you stopped by for souvenirs. I wanted to send it to . u. , but in the morning I had to go home, and there was no one else to take me to the station.
We went back by train No. 16 Uzhgorod-Moscow, departure at 8-34, we arrived in Kyiv at 20-03. Although it was a whole day trip, in the evening we had a last break at the restaurant, and at night we had a good night's sleep in the rooms.
Z. Y. It is quite good to stay in this hotel. Administrator Alexey tries to make your stay enjoyable. But, as in all hotels, there are + and -. The main thing is to find positive everywhere, even if there is no snow in Oryavchik - there is Play nearby, water is 28 - tomorrow it will be 21, a sauna without a pool - a bucket or a cold shower will do, someone likes trout - and someone likes perch. It's just a pity that there was no alternative to THIS BAD man in Reno. It's time for the hotel to have its own transport and not depend on people (goons) who make a negative image of the hotel.
