Of the whole village, most likely, the best hotel. There is everything you need. I liked the room. My daughter liked the presence of a swimming pool, in the evening the lighting is romantic)))) They took only breakfast, they feed it tightly) and porridge, and sandwiches, and / or boiled egg, or pancakes, or pancakes, or sausages. There is not enough salt in all the dishes to make it delicious. They don't salt at all. Porridge can still be fixed, but pancakes or pancakes are not. My daughter didn't eat them at all. Tea and coffee, boiling water in thermoses. Comfortable. Lunch and/or dinner can be ordered if you have only booked for breakfast. But a little bit in advance, it's clear.
There is a barbecue, a gazebo nearby. The store is nearby, meat and coals can be bought there. But! Be ready to "rock" these coals for 2 hours. Disgusting.
Nearby there is a dining room, shops, and just vendors with fruits and vegetables.
It is close to the border - 7-10 minutes on foot. There are buses from the border.
In general, the place itself is not bad - the sea is clean, there are not many people and the border is close to Duty Free))) if you are in the mood for a "bed-dining room-sea-dining room-bed-sea-dining room" holiday, then this is for you)))) It's boring enough in the evening, there's not much place to go for a walk. Well, entertainment too... even during the day. Only excursions, for example, jipping.
We often ran to Adler across the border and walked there. Sochi Park is not so far away. Yandex.taxi to help)
In general, it would be nice to have 7 days in Adler to relax in the traffic, and 5 days in Tsandripsh.
Excellent hotel, very clean, bed linen, towels are often changed , the rest was ruined by the store opposite the hotel, they sell chacha wine, spices and fruits. All the rest we bought homemade wine there, very tasty, bought it home, decided to treat my mother, opened it at home, and there the alcohol was painted over, bought three bottles home, everything was poured out, be careful. The street store is next to the sunny store
Clean, large swimming pool. It's a pleasure to swim there in the evening. Cozy rooms, delicious breakfasts and dinners. The sea is 10 minutes away on foot. Quiet area, you can get enough sleep. The rest was a success
We stayed at this pleasant hotel in early June 2024.In general, I liked everything, the food is delicious, the staff is attentive. The sea is 10 minutes away on foot, the beach is pebbly, the approach is gentle. There are 2 good canteens nearby, several shops with everything you need. The hotel is quiet, clean, we were with a 9-year-old child, a small minus is that there is no deep children's pool, in general, the hotel is wonderful, if possible, we would return again.
I have never seen such good hotels before. We rested in the middle of July on the fifth floor.
I was immediately surprised that the staff was so pleasant and helpful.
The room has:
Air conditioning, mini fridge,
balcony bed, large TV, wardrobe and two bedside tables.
In the toilet:
Shower, glass, toilet, trash can, sink, hanger.
They take out the trash and give you toilet paper every day.
Every other day they give you a new towel.
After 5 days, the bed is changed, the room is cleaned.
The food is always fresh and delicious.
The pool is large and clean.
We will definitely come back here again sometime.
-due to the lack of cleaning in the room , please sweep at least every other day, we bring a lot of sand from the beach (on our feet, towels, etc.) , there is no cooler on the floor or a kettle in the room. and so a quiet hotel, the food is good (complex breakfasts (porridge every morning ) lunches and dinners (photo in attachment) , the staff is excellent. Those who are used to vegetables in the diet, it will be hard for you not to have them here ((( Not far from the sea, 10 minutes leisurely on foot, on the street there is a dining room, shops and shopping tents. (⭐️⭐️⭐️ this is his maximum) . Please keep your voice down, otherwise in the morning and after lunch you want to sleep, relax, but you are talking very loudly )
A nice, cozy hotel, the staff is friendly, the only thing during cleaning is they knock once and immediately come in, opening with their keys, cleaning every day (they take away the garbage and give out toilet paper)
Bed linen is changed every 6 days
It's delicious to eat, but porridge gets boring in the morning for 2 days already
The pool is clean with gradual depth
The area is quiet and calm , just a stone's throw from the border, we walked to Sochi
The sea is clear, there are few people (or we just got there)
Great hotel! The room is beautiful, cozy, with a balcony, there is a TV, air conditioning, hairdryer, refrigerator, everything is clean, garbage is taken out every day, we had breakfast and dinner, very tasty, the staff is polite, attentive 👍
A wonderful hotel, a very warm welcome, cleanliness, order, linen is changed during, the breakfasts are delicious , thank you so much for the warm welcome , we will try to come again.
A wonderful hotel with excellent staff. Many thanks to everyone for our vacation, thanks to you it will remain in memory with the warmest memories. Special thanks to the administrator Gayana, for the high professionalism, responsiveness and organization of the brilliant work of the hotel staff.
In principle, the hotel is not bad. I was confused by one situation . That's how "well " they are trained in guest service. I study hotel business myself and work in a hotel and I know more than enough about the standards of the hotel. The problem is. That it is enough for the staff to knock on the door quietly 1 time. And immediately opens the door. The question for the staff is how the guests should react so quickly. By standards, maids need to knock 3 times with pauses and only then enter. And a couple of times the maid got into an awkward situation. And later she made excuses, "Oh, I thought there was no one."
In general, the hotel is 3 stars, but no more
The service is terrible. There are no cutlery in the rooms, no kettle and no hair dryer in the room. The shower was broken. Constant interruption of hot water supply. It is forbidden to eat in the rooms. The advantages are a good location to the border, you can quickly move right away. And the proximity to the sea.
Crystal, but not shining.There are more minuses than pluses.A big plus is the pool with the purest and warmest water.Respect for that. But the room itself is 2 out of 5. The bed is very uncomfortable, the air conditioner just blows away, does not refresh, the room is humid. There is no soap, no toilet paper, the bathroom is covered in mold. The room is dreary. And everywhere there is a strong smell of bleach, both in the hotel itself and towels with bed linen.It's not pleasant to sleep.
We had a rest in June in Crystal. Great room, junior suite, everything is very clean, new furniture, plumbing, bed linen, good TV, wonderful staff! No matter what you ask, they will always help, fix, and prompt you... The weather failed, of course, they tried to keep warm with the air conditioner, but it was not quite working properly... But this problem was immediately eliminated! They gave us warm blankets, they always asked if everything was all right, if everything was fine... In general, the staff really works for the benefit of the guests!
I took off * for the constant blackouts of light and water, because I think that the owners can quite afford a generator and a well, so as not to create such inconveniences for their guests!. Moreover, the cost of the hotel is by no means economical.
We were disappointed in the hotel. They didn't warn in advance that their pool was broken. We chose the hotel solely for the sake of the pool. To which we were told that the pool was closed only upon arrival, when there was nowhere else to go. It's not worth the money. There were only porridges for breakfast, which is also a big minus. The dog barked at night, it was difficult to sleep because of the barking.
Clean rooms, friendly staff. Having a pool is just great! When we were there, I was very saving, because the sea turned out to be cold. I do not advise ordering excursions from the hotel from the locals. They promise a lot of things, but as a result, one disorder. It is impossible to call a taxi from here, someone does not want to go, someone cannot, and so on.
A wonderful, cozy hotel. Living like in a big family. It is located in a quiet and peaceful place. The beach is 500 meters away. I have a pleasant impression of Abkhazia and this hotel.
A wonderful hotel! Responsive administrator Tatiana. Delicious cuisine. Clean indoor pool. There is a shared kitchen for those who wish and a barbecue. Five minutes walk to the sea and ten to the Psou checkpoint. There are a lot of vacationers with children, but you can't hear them from the room. Double-glazed windows and air conditioning. Across the street there is a dining room where they cook very, very tasty and cheap.
REST AT THE KRISTALL HOTEL
Good day!We rested at the Kristall Hotel from June 21 to July 8, 2021. The hotel is nice, clean, the rooms have good new furniture, there is a swimming pool, but it is not heated!!!We were with young children, so we were looking for a hotel with a heated pool, the description of the hotel says that the pool is heated, but heating is not included, so be careful when choosing a hotel!We asked to turn on the heating, to which we were answered rudely (the administrator is Tatiana, I will write about her below) that there is nothing to turn it on, so swim, like it's outside and it's so hot!!!Now about the administrator Tatiana. We arrived at the hotel at 8 pm, this very Tatiana met us!To say that this is rude is to say nothing! She answers all questions with tension, it feels like she doesn't need clients at all!He breaks down, is rude, rude!Moreover, we didn't ask her anything special, we just asked questions about the hotel. It felt like she was the one who came to check in with us, and not us to her!On the same evening, they called and complained about this rudeness to the hostess Svetlana, through whom they booked the hotel. For the entire subsequent vacation, we did not contact her anymore, we did not want to spoil our vacation!Other people were asked about all the questions. Although no, they did ask once about the heating of the pool. But this is written above. Now about nutrition. We only booked breakfast. And, as it turned out, very well!They planned to take lunches and dinners sometimes, but when they came for breakfast on the first day, they were immediately abandoned. They brought, ATTENTION - burnt porridge and pancakes-semi-finished products!Naturally, our children did not eat it, and neither did we!For the entire subsequent rest, we went to the dining room opposite the hotel and to cafes. There are no complaints about cleaning the rooms, they were cleaned every day, towels were changed every three days, bed linen every week. Even in Abkhazia, electricity is often turned off, so sometimes, when they came to the hotel, there was no water either. But all this is not so long and not critical. There is no hairdryer and kettle in the rooms. But the hotel has a small kitchen, you can cook there yourself, we did not use the kitchen, but some vacationers did. By the way, once we got into a scandal with the same administrator Tatiana, passing by, we heard her yelling at some man that he dragged all the knives from her kitchen, he told her that he did not take them, but she persistently screamed, not hearing anyone around!Even before we were there, a woman with her daughters was kicked out of the gazebo next to the pool, explaining that the gazebo was for gatherings in the evenings, for some reason it was impossible to sit in it during the day!And she says all this with pretensions, as if someone was guilty in front of her!He scolds adults like little naughty children! The sea is about 300-350 meters away. And the hotel itself is a kilometer from the border, which is very convenient.
We arrived to check in late at night. We booked a triple room, but settled in a double room, offering a cot ... on which it is impossible to sleep even. The three of us had to sleep on the same bed. The next day, the problem was solved, but still an unpleasant situation. The territory of the hotel is good, there is a gazebo, barbecue, sun loungers, a swimming pool. The rooms are clean, but they are cleaned every five days, towels and bed linen have not been changed. But the food here is sad. The cooking is terrible. Lettuce is cut into chunks, although salads are loudly said: tomato, cut into huge chunks and pepper, seasoned with vinegar. Mashed potatoes are like glue. For breakfast, cheap sausages, sausage, yoghurts that cost 14 rubles and preheated ready-made pancakes. The sea is 7-10 minutes away. The beach is not equipped, there is an unfinished building on the shore, it is dirty. Excursions are sold near the hotel, the cashier is Lali, it is better to contact her, she will tell you which tour is better to choose, she will tell you in detail how everything goes.
Hello everyone!A little bit about the advantages. Just A LITTLE BIT! The building itself is new, the rooms are decent. From the sea nearby. That's probably all!!! And now about the cons. There are a lot of them!!! We were greeted by a terribly ill-mannered and rude woman (receptionist) Tatiana! Answers questions from the audience in a rude way!.She has been settling us for a very long time. It felt like she was paying us for the rooms and we owed her something!. After the first acquaintance, we avoided her, so as not to spoil our rest and nerves! All questions were solved with the same vacationers on the beach! The pool is NOT HEATED!!! Do not believe what is written on the website! Terribly cold! And for some reason it's covered. There are not enough sun beds and there is nowhere to sunbathe, the pool area is small! Now about the food at the hotel. They took breakfast first, but then refused. Porridge is burnt every day and for 250 rubles. you can have breakfast in a cafe on the counter. Choose the dishes yourself and it's cheaper!!!Before choosing this hotel, we reread all the reviews, I thought people were exaggerating, but no. Everything turned out to be true! The receptionist is a terrible woman. Apparently, he does not understand his duties at all. She needs to please tourists so that they can relax with pleasure, write positive reviews and recommend this guest house to others. Her task includes the only duty - to poison the lives of tourists! Who is going to relax in this village, please note that the heating and electricity are removed every day! The village of autumn is quiet and there is nowhere to walk! In general, we were saved only by excursions and the sea!!
We stayed at the hotel for 20 days, the second half of June, the beginning of July. I liked everything, except cleaning the rooms and changing the linen, I couldn't wait, I had to look for mops, rags and wash everything myself, there was no declared cleaning every three days, they cleaned twice in 20 days and then I had to ask, the toilet drain did not work, the master came only two weeks later.
I do not recommend the hotel itself, but this village, the stormy Psou River flows nearby and the sea is constantly very cold, almost fresh.
We rested here in the summer of 2021. I really liked it. Cozy, clean rooms, decent prices. The food was delicious and satisfying. We regularly swam in the pool. It's not far from the sea. I recommend it!
1. The numbers do not match the photos.
2. 2 rooms were paid for, one of them was occupied only a day later.
3. There is no hot water, as well as wi-fi periodically.
4. The pool is cold.
5. Mattresses are terrible, all the springs dig into the body.
6. The rooms are not cleaned, towels are not changed.
7. The transfer ordered at the hotel did not arrive to pick up from the airport. The reason was not given at the hotel
8. Back, as an apology for the inconvenience provided with a paid and not provided room, they offered a transfer, said that the owner himself would come and take it. As a result, the owner is not there in the morning, he does not answer the phone. They threw it here too.
The overall rating is 0 out of 10. I absolutely do not recommend it, as well as other people living with us at the same time. Everyone was not checked in on time, everyone has a problem with the rooms and the overall impression of the hotel is disgusting.
I wrote a very detailed review on <url>, where I described all the impressions of staying in this place. Let's just say the overall impression is negative. On the plus side, a good pool, good rooms, a dining room, shops, a beach and the Psou border crossing are within walking distance.
Among the disadvantages, the peculiar attitude of the staff, we did not feel any special joy from our stay with them. A third of the way to the beach you have to walk along a carriageway without a sidewalk, and local drivers are "hot horsemen", they do not slow down even on turns, especially you need to be more careful with children. Electricity is often cut off in the republic, as a result, it is not possible to take a shower and use the toilet, since water is supplied by a pump, and there is no generator in the hotel. We definitely would not have gone to this guest house a second time, even if we had decided to go to Abkhazia again.
The hotel is generally normal, the food is varied, the pool is excellent, the staff is not very friendly, the room cleaning is excellent, 7-10 minutes walk from the sea, but the beach leaves much to be desired.
I vacationed in 2022 in this hotel, everything is super, its own pool under a canopy, friendly staff, everything is nearby, come, you will not regret it.
It's not the first time I've stayed at this hotel (I've been 4 times) this year I was a little disappointed. I always took 3 meals a day. This year I gave it up completely. The room stock is dilapidated. The staff is nice and helpful. Also, the beach was completely disappointed, no one cleaned it for 10 days!
We absolutely did not like the hotel, although we chose it based on the good reviews on the Booking. It is suspected that many of them are written by Crystal employees themselves. The first thing that caught my eye was the staff - everyone except the maid Guli hates the hotel guests and walks around with a sullen face like "how tired we are of you all here." The owner of the hotel is a man of about 70 years old, every morning he shouts loudly in the courtyard as if he wants to be heard on the next street. A couple of times we heard him talking obscenely and aggressively with someone from the staff. He's a terrible guy. The children are behaving badly in the yard, shouting loudly, running around the dining room, interfering with people's rest and dinner. The favorite activity of the guests of this hotel is drinking alcoholic beverages. So the father of one of the girls, who chased around the yard every evening and screamed loudly, took out 4-5 empty bottles of Sukhum beer every day. I also didn't like the food in the dining room, everything is of poor quality, mashed potatoes are impossible to eat, pastries are disgusting, they save on everything. There is no sound insulation in the rooms, from 6 a.m. the neighbors slam the doors, move the beds on the tiles, you will definitely not be able to relax in this hotel.
Good time of the day. I do not know how to describe everything that I saw and felt in the Crystal.... Everything is very cozy and of high quality. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. In a word, the owner put his soul into everything. A bland nature and a very emotional rape. Thank you that there are still places where you rest your soul.
We had a vacation with our granddaughter in September 2021.I can't say anything good.The staff are rude.Besides, the drunken owner of the hotel is constantly walking around the territory.The cooking is disgusting.The sound insulation is very poor.neighbors can be heard snoring and a dog barking all night sitting in an aviary right on the territory of the hotel.There are a lot of mosquitoes that somehow get into the room and bite.The air conditioning and plumbing are not working.For a week, my granddaughter and I did not wash. The water is slightly warm and barely goes.The road to the sea, as after the bombing, is full of holes and cars are endlessly driving along it at speed.The pool is deep and with cold water that stinks of chlorine.No one swims in it.There is not even the slightest hint of a playground.In general, the village is disgusting.The sea is dirty.A beach without any hints of civilization.People!!!! It is better to go to Sukhum, Gagra or Pitsunda, and not to this terrible village.And excursions suck completely in terms of organization and comfort, It's better not to go.
I couldn't book a hotel. The so-called official website, transfers to some tour operator; there is a link to a WhatsApp conversation, and the girl demands an email address and answers questions in Messenger and for some reason refuses. It's a pity that because of such stupidity you have to pick up another hotel(((
the rooms are not cleaned, the bed linen is not changed, the food sucks, there is practically no hot water, only early in the morning, the transfer from the airport to the hotel did not come, we got there on our own, they also threw a transfer back to the airport, the pool is not heated
Yes, there is a war of reviews here!((( It's not clear who to believe! ?
Someone is happy, someone is not, but this is the case everywhere, even in hotels in Europe!)))
One of these days we will fly there, we will see for ourselves!
People for little money always want big bonuses!)) And the less they can pay for a vacation, the greater their expectations and claims!!!
The service is at the highest level. I liked everything) The rain did not interfere with the rest in this particular hotel. It's not far to the sea! I recommend it)
A good hotel, everything you need in the room, there is a small kitchen, you can cook, but we ate in the dining room opposite, we were not tied to time.the sea is a 5-minute walk away.
A nice clean hotel, there is a swimming pool , good service, responsive staff, there is one thing when booking rooms in the Booking office. Be sure to check the reserved rooms (if you are traveling with a child), otherwise you will have to find out everything on the spot.
The manager does not allow children to swim in the hotel Tatiana, a friend came from the national team, so in the morning at 8:30 Tatiana came with the owner drunk and he sent everyone with hard mats to three letters, for swimming in the pool, they took the third pillow from us, the beds are very uncomfortable, children can not go in .... (there are more than one comment in other hotels) in general, my foot will not be here anymore.... It's a pity that we can't leave because they don't return the money, but they shout obscenities at the girl, for the children.... I won't let you!!!! Do not contact Tatiana for excursions, she gets tired of working, she is not up to vacationers
A very noisy hotel. Children run and scream from morning to night, it is impossible to get enough sleep. The administration does not react in any way. The water is hot occasionally in the evenings, the rest of the time it is cold or barely warm. The lights are turned off several times every day. A three-course meal. They don't give any fruits. There are a lot of people and the beach is not equipped
I wanted to relax there, everything is beautifully written and photographed at the booking from the right angle. In fact, everything is no longer the first or even the second freshness, it's far from the sea and not convenient, it's up to you.
There was, the hotel itself seems to be normal, the sea is nearby....BUT they constantly turn off the electricity, and they can also turn off the water..generally. Cleaning every day. They come in every day, but it's not clear what they're cleaning up.
Nice rooms. The view from the window (we had a view of the mountains). Quietly. There is a swimming pool, although the hotel has only 24 rooms. Good room cleaning.
At first they didn't want to settle us! We crossed the border, met with an agent, he and a group went to other cities in his jeep, and put us in a taxi.We went out at the hotel, in a foreign country, and then bam and the second shift - they don't settle us, because we are NOT WRITTEN DOWN IN their NOTEBOOKS!!!!!!How!? The age of computers, and here's a notebook! And the administrator of the Ghoul says that all their rooms are occupied! We called the agent who put us in a taxi, he told us: "This is your problem," we called the travel agency, asked to sort it out. While they were sorting it out, the hostess of the hotel called Gulya's phone, Gulya complained to her that there were three people (2 women and a 17-year-old girl)encroaching on housing. "That's right," and the hostess called our last name.But there's nowhere to settle! And then Gulya remembered that she had recently converted a 2-bed room into a 3-bed room and offered us to move into it, which we naturally agreed to, because it all lasted 25-30 minutes and we would have a rest from the road.We went up to the room on the 4th floor, where Gulya boasted to us of the view from the balcony: somewhere a kilometer away we could see a narrow strip of sea, and before it houses, tents with goods and destroyed roads.Well, okay, we decided, the main thing is that with housing.About the room: there is a refrigerator, but small, without a freezer, and this creates some inconvenience with storing ice cream, which we like to eat before going to bed on vacation or in bed in front of the TV in the morning.Well, okay, let's do it.The bathroom has no ventilation, it stinks of some kind of sourness, there is no curtain, after taking a shower there is a flood.They asked for a rag and gave me a towel.Well, that's okay, let's air it out, wipe it off!There are only hangers in the chiffonier (this is for three people), they asked for more, they gave us one.Well, thanks for that!We took turns getting onto the balcony, because one bed was brought into the room and it became cramped, the balcony door rested on one of the beds in the open state and one person was placed in the remaining place. The output is the same.There is a table and two chairs on the balcony.Well, okay, the third one will stand, dry the swimsuits, since there was no rope and two will climb through the bed to the balcony.While we were sorting out the closet, the balcony, and the refrigerator, progressive youth discovered that there was no Wi-Fi in our room and this was a disaster for them.Later we asked why this was the case, and we were told that previously there was Internet in all rooms, but some parents complained that their children were constantly online, and they left it only in the dining room and on the playground in front of the hotel.Moreover, for 40 rooms in the hotel, there is one triple swing and two double sofas on this site.It catches poorly in the dining room, as my daughter explained to me.We took a trip without food, but the hotel had a kitchen. As it turned out, it was paid-150 rubles per room per day.This has not been stated.Hot water is free on the ground floor.Well, okay, I took a small teapot with me.That's how we began to live-to live in this WELL-known hotel.Three days. We didn't go to the beach, and we didn't go on an excursion, because I, with my white skin, decided to sit in the room one day and swim in the pool.The pool is surprisingly nice, large, free and moderately deep.There is a reminder that you can swim after taking a shower, and I got into the shower.Soaped up.....They turned off the lights first.Well, okay, I'll rinse in the dark, but then after 3-5 seconds they turned off the water supply.Well, this is too much!!! Beside myself with anger, I went downstairs and unleashed all the dogs on Gulya and the hostess of the hotel.I reminded them of the problems with checking in, and the stench in the toilet, and the passage to the balcony, and the lack of ropes, and the fact that we have a 2-bed room, etc., etc. They immediately started making excuses and offered us to move into available rooms to choose from. When I entered the new room, I was slightly stunned by the spaciousness, from the window and the view of the mountains from the balcony, from the window in the bathroom, from the number of hangers, from the furniture, from the wallpaper, from the dryer on the balcony.I understand that they have a habit of offering the worst rooms first.Maybe it will be a ride. But we did not experience complete happiness in the new room either:the shower drain was clogged, the water left after half an hour. Well, let's wait.But the most important thing is:the owners had a dog.A German Shepherd in an aviary.Grey, in my opinion.During the day, he is quite good-natured, the children approached the aviary, stroked him through a special hole. But it's hell at night. From 9 o'clock in the evening, he barks like a broken dog and so on until about 12 at night. And closed windows do not help, after all, the dog is not small. It's about the hotel.I fell for the enthusiastic reviews, I will not go to Kristall or Abkhazia anymore.
