Quite a large hotel complex, from several buildings.
Corunca is a three-storey building with standard rooms. The content of the issue surprisingly exactly matches the photos posted on the Koruna website. The rooms are not big but comfortable enough. Double room "standard" - 350 UAH per day. You can live alone for 300 UAH per day. We got a room on the 3rd floor. The room is about 3 by 3 meters (maybe 3 by 4), the vestibule is about 1.5 by 1.5, a bathroom. The room has: TV, wardrobe, table, electric kettle, safe (look in the closet! ), hair dryer, dishes (look in the table! ), chair, stool, bedside tables, bed or beds. All furniture is wooden and solid. The room is warm. If it's cold, you can turn the temperature regulator on the batteries. He works. In addition, there are warm blankets and double-glazed windows without gaps. Hot water is also unlimited. There is no refrigerator.
But outside the window there is a rather wide horizontal window sill where perishable products can be stored. Room cleaning is daily. Bed for 5 days changed at least once, towels - at least 2 times (maybe more). The staff is friendly and welcoming. Wi-fi is. But practically does not catch. Yes! If you have something that plugs into a wall outlet and it has an old Soviet-style plug, be sure to take an adapter with you! Otherwise, you will not be able to use this something terribly necessary. The room has all Eurotype sockets (round and deep).

Another moment that scared me the most. A few reviews on the Internet contained complaints about the complete lack of soundproofing. Strategic stockpiles of cotton wool were made to stuff into the ears, in case the neighbors at the other end of the corridor were snoring or doing something else. Not useful. It was quiet enough. Never heard someone else's TV or hair dryer working.
You can hear the slamming of doors in the morning, and it's not that loud. The advantage of the third floor is that there is only a roof above it, and no one walks overhead in ski boots. Relative minus: there is a window in the ceiling (roof), and it is not curtained by anything, so you will have to wake up with the sun.
Breakfast lasts from 8 to 11 hours. Buffet. Again, quite small, but the food is delicious. Usually available: apple pie or cottage cheese casserole, small sweet bagels, sausage, ham, cheese, butter, bread, pickled cucumbers and tomatoes, fruits (oranges and apple slices), pancakes with cottage cheese, jam, sour cream. There might have been something else, I don't remember now. From drinks: greenfield tea bags (green and black), brewed coffee, sandorra juices (2-3 decanters every morning), milk, curdled milk, yogurt. In general, on the first morning breakfast surprised us a little.
Seeing how little food was offered, and mentally preparing for training on the slope, we collected plates "with a slide" and went to swallow it all. We managed to absorb quite a lot when a waiter approached us with a question: "And what will you be on a hot one? ". Yes, I also had to eat unexpected hot food. On "hot" every morning they offer the same thing. To choose from: oatmeal with milk, oatmeal with butter (I personally did not like it - too liquid), buckwheat, scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs. In short, the food is unpretentious, but satisfying and safe. The restaurant is located in a separate building, half a minute walk from Corunca.
They say you can dine there with a complex lunch for 100 hryvnia per person. As for me - very expensive, so I never used this service. One evening, well, I was sooo thirsty, I had to buy a liter of Sandorra juice (in a box) in a restaurant - 28 UAH. It is better to buy everything you need in the store along the way.

It is located about 300 meters after the turn to Vorokhta. They sell a lot of everything: water, juices, alcohol, sweets, canned food, frozen dumplings, chips, and other mivina...

Koruna provides transfer to Bukovel. It costs 100 hryvnia one way, regardless of the number of seats. That is, a renault kangoo type car and a mercedes sprinter bus cost the same. The transfer was pretty messy. You need to order it from the evening to the morning. Pay at the reception upon return. Drivers do not take money, so you have to make one of the passengers the main conductor. There are either 3 or 4 buses in Koruna. And each has a different number of seats. It often happens that in the evening a transfer for 17 seats is ordered, and a bus arrives, in which there are only 14 seats ...It's half an hour to drive to Bukovel. On the way back, the driver stops at the aforementioned store without any problems.

As a whole I liked it.
