The hotel is located in Vorokhta a little away from the main street of the village near the railway station. I'll tell you a little about Vorokhta. The urban-type settlement is located at 950 m above sea level, which is somewhat higher than the nearby villages. The city is heated mainly with coal, so during the cold periods of the year in the village (especially the central street) there is a rather strong smell of coal.

The hotel is located in Vorokhta a little away from the main street of the village near the railway station. I'll tell you a little about Vorokhta. The urban-type settlement is located at 950 m above sea level, which is somewhat higher than the nearby villages. The city is heated mainly with coal, so during the cold periods of the year in the village (especially the central street) there is a rather strong smell of coal.
At the entrance to Vorokhta there is a source of water, which has a positive effect on the intestinal tract. The taste of the water is neutral, odorless, acceptable for consumption even by children.
From attractions:
1. At the entrance to Vorokhta there is a source of water, which has a positive effect on the intestinal tract. The taste of the water is neutral, odorless, acceptable for consumption even by children.
2. Market - it is significantly cheaper than the market in Yaremche. At a good price you can buy vyshyvanka, wine, dishes and more.
3. Next to the market there is a currently non-functioning training center for athletes in ski jumping, biathlon and cross-country skiing.
4. Bald mountain. Located directly in Vorokhta. The grazing of a herd of cows and horses on the top of the mountain gave the name to the mountain Bald.
5. Vorokhta is a convenient interchange for traveling to different points of the Carpathians - Verkhovyna is thirty kilometers away, you can get to Rakhiv, Kolomyia by diesel electric train from the Vorokhta station or by bus. By car - to Yaremche, Bukovel. For lovers of hiking - near Hoverla, Mount Khomyak, Mount Magura, etc.
6. The river Prut flows in Vorokhta
7. Church of the Nativity of the Virgin, built in 1657 according to the old Carpathian customs without a single nail.
8. Railway bridge-viaduct connecting the two banks of the Prut River. The bridge was built in the 19th century. during the time of Austria. Until now, it has been used for its intended purpose. Nearby is another old Austrian bridge, the length of which exceeds 100 m.
9. Restaurant "Stara Vorokhta". We did not have enough evening to visit it, but the reviews about the restaurant are very positive. Dishes of Hutsul cuisine at a good price.
By the hotel itself. Let's start with the positive aspects of the hotel:
1. First of all, these are people - both in the hotel and in the city: well-mannered, hospitable. , friendly. Those who have been to Western Ukraine, I think, agree with me, since this is a feature of the entire region, which has significantly surpassed other regions of Ukraine in the field of tourism.
2. The cost of the tour. The hotel offers tours at a very decent price, which include the following list of services:
- meeting at the railway station in Ivano-Frankivsk, sightseeing tour of the city, transfer to the hotel in Vorokhta and back to Ivano-Frankivsk;
- accommodation in rooms,
- two meals a day,
- group excursions and hikes according to the program.
3. Good food: large portions of dishes, although there are few meat products, but based on the cost of the tour, it’s very decent. The only caveat, a couple of times they served dishes with mayonnaise, but after a comment, mayonnaise was excluded.
4. Festive dinner upon arrival with an introductory story about the village and its surroundings from the local historian Olga Dmitrievna.
5. Entertainment events in the evenings: a master class on making figurines from hay; local musicians, other.
6. Farewell gala dinner, where feedback was requested from tourists from their stay at the hotel. At the same time, Olga Dmitrievna, who participated in evening programs almost every evening, wrote down all the wishes.
Of the minuses:
1. the rooms are small but with all amenities.
2. thin walls in the rooms, for people who are light sleepers - this can be a problem. The hotel has separate cottages, it is possible to use them - there, I think, the audibility will not be the same. Oddly enough, trains were not heard - they rarely go, and the windows face the city, so you don’t have to worry about this fact.
3. For bus excursions, the Ikarus bus was sometimes used, along the Carpathian bad roads on Ikarus, the time of any excursion is doubled, and the charm of the excursion upon arrival decreased.
4. There are always two options for excursions to choose from: walking to the mountains or by bus, the excursion takes place according to the appointment of most tourists. That is, if the majority of tourists signed up for the bus, and you are in the minority, then you can either go with everyone or organize a free program.
We used the individual services of a guide twice, as we drove with the intention of walking more in the mountains than driving, and besides, having once ridden Ikarus, we no longer wanted to. Prices for trips are very reasonable - 250 UAH. paid for 3 people to Magura (5 km route, time there and back - 4-5 hours, height - 1250 m above sea level). Therefore, purchasing a tour still turned out to be more profitable than staying somewhere in a hotel and paying for food separately, and organizing leisure activities with deviations from the tour program is not a problem, using the services of a guide by agreement with the hotel or the nearest travel agencies.
