First of all the hotel desperately needs renovation. In every room a lot of things are broken.
It looks like staff does not do their work good enough (except guys on reception and restaurants). Sometimes housekeeping skipped cleaning. Barmen at a pool bar is always absent. I had to ask to call him every time.
The location is close to old town which is good, but there are no pavements. Walking near the hotel is pain - cars are everywhere, but it’s likely problem of the city itself. Pool is very small and it is impossible to find free sunbed if you come after 11am. No private beach.
I stayed in redisson in Sochi-Adler and comparing to this hotel it was much better.
I can’t recommend staying in this hotel, it’s overpriced.
+ very good location of the hotel: near the cool embankment, within walking distance of the old town and all the main attractions;
+ the Suite will normally accommodate 2 adults and 2 children, but the room is cramped - especially in the bathrooms. They hit the TV and the door handle several times (because of the narrow passages in the corner room);
+ there is a casino right in the hotel, if anyone is interested;
+ the service at the hotel is very fast, excellent;
+ the gym on the 3rd floor is good with Technojim simulators, the pool was only indoor during the arrival period, the sauna and steam room are quite decent;
+ Lavazza coffee in capsules in the room is very decent;
- breakfasts on the 19th floor are usual for a 5* hotel, the restaurant is outdated, but the views in all directions are good. Asian cuisine is served on the menu during the day in the same restaurant - it sucks, it's impossible to eat;
- the water on the 17th floor is supplied intermittently, sometimes it runs in a very thin trickle (apparently, the pumps can not cope);
- disgusting pillows on which it is impossible to sleep (they asked for orthopedic pillows - they brought the same ones).
This is a magnificent complex, the location is super! Parking, specific characteristics. Instead, we paid $ 85 - the price is absolutely justified.
Very spacious apartment, stained glass windows, excellent sound insulation in the bathroom. I will definitely come back again!!!!
