This place wasn't easy to find. As you approach Vorokhta from the north on the main road, the turning is just before the viaduct which takes you along a lane directly to Skarbivka. This is the only way. There is a sign on the lamppost on the main road opposite the lane but it is easily missed, as we did. The hotel is next to the railway station, but on the opposite side of the tracks from the ticket office building so either wander across the tracks of climb over the rickety footbridge. The female owner handed us the room keys and that was just about all we saw of her for two days. We were on the 2nd floor and there is no lift. There is a cupboard / fridge in the foyer from which basic food / drink / provisions can be bought. Our family room was spacious with a balcony, although the building next door partially obstructs the view. The beds were comfortable and the shower was warm and welcome. Now to the minor downsides... - The wi-fi is sketchy. In the room it wouldn't work, but does in the downstairs foyer. - No toilet paper should be put down the pan - All in the bin, please. - There is no dining room or bar therefore no food or drinks prepared on the premises. - Trains come and go several times per night and the drivers all toot their horns, often several times just to annoy everyone in the whole town! - There is a kettle and cups in the room but no tea, coffee, milk or sugar. Bring your own. - I get the impression the place is principally built from wood so if anyone put a match to it.... Well, I dread to think. For all the little issues, for the price we paid it was a bargain and I'd happily return. Vorokhta is a nice small town and has enough restaurants and shops and, of course, Hoverla is nearby.
