Remote rustic place, but not quiet
Mar 12, 2017
Stayed several times during last year, had have five different rooms. Location: Hotel is located in Vinnytski Khutory - a township in airport area recently incorporated into Vinnytsia city. Fom the center you need about 20 minutes ride to reach it, and 5 minutes less if from central train station. The area is mainly rustic with villas, lakes and fields around. You may try fishing, walk on fresh air etc. But remoteness means also that convenience trade is rare, public transportation is absent. Rooms: despite having small difference in price, rooms are so different that each requires own review. On extreme sides are one very small room above sauna, where chimney of latter goes through the middle of your room, making it unbearably hot in summer. From other side there is huge suite with own billiard (depicted by me) above bar and reception; it is good, but there is no heating in bathroom, with temperatures there around zero in winter. Some amenities (slippers, shampoo) are provided in all rooms; type of bath and shovers vary independently from room price and size. Beds are clean and comfortable. Breakfast. If you wouldlike to have one before 9 a.m. (when the cafe opens) you can preselect it on evening before. Overall, the type of cuisine there is one i call 'ukrainian festive' - heavy fatty food normally eaten with vodka on ukrainian weddings and birthday parties, which are so oten celebrated in this hotel. For breakfast, however, you can order some lighter, more standard dishes. Sleep quality. Is the weakest side of this hotel, from my experience. Weddings are often celebrated on weekends, with loud music as late as 1:30 a.m. Birthday parties are not as noisy (but noisy enough, unfortunately) and can happen during weekdays. Should you be so happy not to have both, be prepared for choirs of local dogs howling and barking until approximately 11 p.m. Personnel. Is good, friendly and helpful, but does not speak English. Overall, it is great hotel if you are member of celebration. Otherwise it is OK during weekdays in case you have business close to that area. Check your (bath)room carefully before paying, and choose backyard room if any celebration is booked during your stay.
