The view is very beautiful, the pool is warm, and since there are pebbles on the sea, crowds (and we are not fans of the sea) - we had enough of the pool, sun loungers, cleanliness, a group of guests)))
The staff is pleasant, the upper floors seem to be more recent in terms of technology. Washing is 200 rubles, you vacuum yourself, once a day they put things in order, make up and maybe wash the floor + take out the garbage.
We walked to the sea 1 time, we didn't have enough for more, then by car. Since we travel to Abkhazia only by our own transport, the location relative to the sea and the rest of the resort movement has not affected so much. From the hotel - on foot, and back by taxi 500 rubles.
We had a family vacation from 4.08.
Everything is gorgeous!!!!!!
The location is excellent, away from the noise of the city, clean mountain air, beautiful sea views😍😍
The staff and the host are mega great people!!
The rooms are clean and spacious.
The pool has warm and clean water, and the hotel owner cleans it every morning.
The kitchen is not bad, but I would like a more varied menu.
We will come again and advise everyone.
We kiss your Zheleznogorsk (Kursk region)
A wonderful hotel! Gorgeous views! For those who love movement - the stairs are steep☝🏼 the rooms are clean, the staff is friendly, cleaning is daily. There has always been water and electricity, there is its own generator, this +, even when the lights were turned off in the whole of Gagra. The pool is clean, it was cleaned every morning. Recommend👍🏼
We rest for the second time in this hotel, I like the location, the view from the room (all rooms have sea views), daily cleaning, had dinner a couple of times in the cafe downstairs (quite tasty, affordable). The pool and sauna are good. The only thing I would like is full-fledged wardrobes in the rooms.
I must say right away, it's a long way to the sea, and even uphill. Some guides cannot drive up to the hotel and find it.
But, the rating is based on the hotel itself, not the things above. I think it would be fairer. I never went to the sea, all the days the guides picked me up from the hotel, although sometimes a few streets below. In general, it is not critical. Going down is not going up ☝️
The rooms themselves are clean enough, the air conditioning is working. They clean it every day. The staff is very helpful, there is a laundry room, and it is inexpensive.
The view from the hotel is stunning, the sea and the sky.
There is a cafe at the hotel downstairs, the prices are normal, I will not say that it is expensive. The service is lame, and 10% tips are included for it at once. At the same time, this is not even in the restaurant on the way to the Ritz, where there is a glass bridge, delicious food and excellent service.
Anyway, 10% is not a pity. But absurdly a little. Payment is only in cash, there is practically no alcohol. I asked for half of the menu, they didn't tell me much or offer anything (so tips are amazing for me)
There is no breakfast included, but you can buy it at the same cafe. In general, there is a pleasant atmosphere in summer, you can take your alcohol, order pizza and sit and chat. The air is good, cool, pleasant.
In general, 4 stars are deserved, I put it because of the responsive staff, especially at the reception.
It feels, of course, like 3 (based on cleanliness and comfort in the room + cleaning). On the 4th and 5th there should be pleasant memories and sensations inside the hotel, but this cafe spoiled them.
Next time, of course, I would not go to this hotel (and I will not go), but I need to visit it once.
The place is on fire. You have to go up / down to the beach and probably not everyone is ready, but as an option - your own car. But away from the highway. A heated swimming pool and sauna are what children and adults need. We had a rest in Abkhazia in the last days of October, unfortunately, we found planned blackouts, but even here it is not critical. If there is an opportunity, we will definitely come next year
The views from the second and especially the third floors are amazing. A warm swimming pool, its own dining room, a patio with sea views. The ascent from the sea to the hotel is difficult for the physically unprepared, in this case you need a car or taxi
The hotel offers a great view of the sea. The rooms are big enough and clean. They clean well. There is a swimming pool with warm water on site. It was in October and the presence of a warm pool was pleasing. There is a chef who prepares food according to the menu to order. To my taste, the food is not delicious. Because the cook is alone and he takes orders and cooks and counts the guests, then everything is very long and tedious.
The hotel is located on a mountain, it is difficult to walk to it, but not for long. The owner is clearly trying to do everything well.
If he was the one who cleaned the pool and the area around it every day, then he's a great guy. There were questions for the receptionist. Politeness seems to be on a separate price list, but rudeness is included in the price. On the negative side: an off-season room in early October 2023 cost about 5,000 rubles per day. It is forbidden to eat in the room by the rules of the hotel. How's that? The kettle is only on the floor. The hair dryer was given out in such a way that it was unpleasant for them, and just scary to use. In general, the hotel is cool, because it is located on a mountain and far enough from the sea, but of course for the money that is charged from the guests, the service needs to be tightened to the required level.
A great place for a relaxing holiday with your family. The views are simply amazing. The administration is super, the food is delicious in the cafe. The pool for amateurs is also good.
The best hotel I've ever been to. Polite staff, everything is clean and beautiful. The pool is clean, not crowded. There was practically no one in the morning. There is a separate conversation about the views from the room, this beauty will not leave anyone indifferent. There is a minus kitchen. We only ordered breakfast. But the pancakes warmed up from the shops are tastier than what they cooked for us. They didn't take any more food, so I can't judge the entire menu.
We had a rest with my husband from 05/13/24 to 05/24/24. I was met by a very kind hostess. The room is on the 1st floor, opposite the pool. The room is very clean, all the furniture is excellent, not "tired". Daily cleaning, change of linen and towels-on request. The view is amazing, the pool is heated. The pool was cleaned daily in the morning. Meals at the cafe at the hotel. Two girls are local chefs. They cook great. Everything is under the knife, so you have to wait a little. The staff is very friendly and responds immediately to any request. In general, we were 100% satisfied with the rest. We are going to meet in October. Thank you so much to the hosts and staff for a great time
For Gagra, both the hotel and the service are wonderfully good.
The view is generally gorgeous. Which of the rooms, which of the relaxation area by the pool.
At the reception, you can buy water, wine and beer from the refrigerator around the clock and inexpensively.
The room has its own small refrigerator.
There is a dining area by the pool, you can't eat in the rooms, which is logical.
Friendly staff who responds to all requests, including booking a transfer.
The rooms are huge, the beds are sturdy. The renovation is fresh.
The towels and linen are good.
Stable WiFi.
Good illumination of the territory.
Of the cons:
There is a TV with pre-installed games in the room, for me this is a minus.
There are only 2 chairs for 3 guests
They give out bathrobes, but for an additional fee, although the surcharge is only 250 rubles for the entire period.
Getting to the hotel is either expensive by taxi or by putting a lot of effort up the stairs and the serpentine, not far, but it was hard for me. The road is mostly illuminated.
There is nowhere to walk near the hotel, the sea is not very close, but a warm pool and sauna are welcome all day, although it is worth cleaning the pool more often. And the territory itself is not very clean, even if it is well maintained.
The main disadvantage is the lack of a kitchen or a decent cafe.
The dishes from the chef three times a day on the menu are not bad, but this is not the level of the hotel
The hotel is modern in Gagra. The house territory is green. The rooms are clean, cleaning every day. All rooms have a view of the beautiful seascape. The windows in the rooms are panoramic. This is undoubtedly the advantage of the hotel. The pool is clean. There is a sauna. The girls at the reception are friendly, a taxi will be called, questions will be answered.The hotel is in the mountains 7 minutes by a ladder to the sea. Pebble beach.
One of the disadvantages is the food at the hotel. I do not recommend it....especially with children. The prices are reasonable, the quality of the food is "stolovskoe ". "Of course, the cook -"an aunt over 50, in "sweatpants" and a "medical cap" will cook, but also "will take care of you .... so...." along the way. She will never be different... even if he wants to ..." You can eat in the city.... However, meals with children in Abkhazia....this is a common "catering problem".
This is compensated by the beautiful nature: mountains, sea, beautiful sunrises and sunsets." The rest was a success on the whole ...
We stayed at the hotel for 5 nights. A very cozy, clean hotel. Friendly and courteous staff. The rooms have brand new furniture and equipment. Cleaning is done every day. Just an awesome view from the window of the mountains, the sea. It's a pleasure to sit on the balcony. I also really enjoyed swimming in the heated pool. One of the disadvantages is the difficult uphill climb to the hotel. It's about 12 minutes to the beach, but it's hard to get back to the hotel and you don't rush into the city if you need something. Meals for 4/5, we preferred another place near the hotel. The cook is a little rude in communication.
I do not recommend this hotel because of the location of the hotel. It is located high on the mountain. Going down in the heat and climbing is not comfortable, there is no car entrance, only through the top through the tunnel, because of this taxi is expensive 350-400r, you will not hit. Perhaps the owners will one day become customer-oriented and make a transfer for their guests, but so far, alas ... there is also no elevator in the hotel, nor a person who can help with a suitcase. So if there is no man in your company, it's worth thinking about. When the owner asked me to help carry the suitcase from the 4th floor, he replied that it was necessary to rent a 5-star hotel with the Arabs of Peter the Great… There is no closet in the room, just 2 hooks in the wall and 2 hangers. At the same time, we were told that our hotel room was the best. Upon arrival, you will be informed that the money is not refunded, apparently often people, after a day spent at the hotel, want to move out because in no other hotel, I have never been told this. The kitchen is straight for an amateur… I do not even know how to spoil the scrambled eggs, but they were able to do it-it was very greasy, it floated in oil with rubber bacon, I had to buy a festal. Among the advantages: a gorgeous view of Gagra, friendly and helpful maids (one even offered to carry my suitcase, I refused, but it was nice) the most unfriendly young lady at the reception. The duvet cover had holes, weak pressure in the shower. I will definitely never come here again.
I really liked the location of the hotel - you wake up in the morning and see the sea, in the evenings you can watch the sunsets directly from your room or from a comfortable terrace. Plus, there is a clean pool, which is very well monitored, as well as daily!!! Room cleaning. The room is very spacious, the comfortable mattress and pillows made sleep wonderful, the lack of a closet did not bother me personally in any way, since shifting things to a suitcase- closet is annoying, especially when you change several hotels per trip and there are hangers where you can hang crumpled things and leave the rest in the suitcase. The dining room and the female cook are of course specific, but you can also find an approach to it if you want. If you behave culturally, then you will be treated with due respect, otherwise, in my opinion, there is no point in waiting for a good attitude towards yourself.
Great hotel. Nice rooms. The pool is warm. The sauna is not very warm, but as a nice bonus. The kitchen is an ordinary home kitchen. They cleaned our room every day. And linen was changed and towels. We liked it. It's a civilization compared to all Abkhazia. The view is stunning, as the hotel is on a mountain, and because of this you have to climb up the mountain and up the stairs every day, the way up takes 15 minutes at a regular pace.
One of the disadvantages is: a long wait in the kitchen, only one person worked for the whole hotel, but a very nice polite man.
The view is gorgeous, the service is excellent, the staff is friendly, the room is large, the food would diversify the menu a little, everything is clean, the hotel is on the mountain - it's still okay to go to the sea, but back…
A very nice hotel. Wonderful, friendly and helpful staff and managers, warm welcome, always clean rooms. The rooms overlook the courtyard and the endless sea.
There was a cafe at the hotel when we arrived. Many thanks to Vera and her mother for the delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners.
In my opinion, One of the best hotels for a holiday without children, there is food, there is a swimming pool, there is a steam room, there is a gorgeous view, there is a generator if the lights are turned off, the rooms are clean, quiet. I often stay there, everything suits me.
Great hotel. We just got back. I really liked everything! A great cafe right in the hotel. You can have breakfast or pass the evening with a glass of wine!!! The location is good. Wet cleaning of rooms every day. Thank you for your service, we will definitely come again!!!
We had a rest with our spouse from August 14 to August 21. The most pleasant impressions remained. The staff is very helpful and pleasant. The girl Anastasia will help you, tell you everything, advise you. The manager (or owner) of the hotel is also a pleasant and sociable person, he suggested where to buy what. The cleaning was on schedule, in 7 days we had our linen changed twice, cleaned, and towels changed. In the dining room, Dina is a very pleasant cook, a little strict, but she cooks flawlessly!
The rooms are large and spacious. The view is incredible both in the morning and at sunset.
After reading the bad reviews, I realized once again that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder!
I only agree that the descent / ascent to the sea is really not for the faint of heart. It's a bit hard going uphill.
Otherwise, everything is great! Thanks to the hotel and the staff for a wonderful vacation!
A great hotel! First of all, this is the merit of the staff of the Astana hotel! Upon check-in, we were met by the administrator Anastasia, who promptly checked us in. I have familiarized myself with the rules of the hotel in an accessible and popular way! Always in touch and trouble-free. He will tell you about everything and orient you. A very nice girl! Always with a smile. The sea view speaks for itself! He's gorgeous! I just don't want to go to the room. The time of descent to the sea is 4 minutes. Rise for 6-7 minutes. Yes, the hotel is on a Hill. But it's not hidden either. There are 3 of us (2 adults and a child of 10 years old) we went to the sea 2 times a day without straining. I would say the road to the sea is a pleasure. Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel. There is no place where there would be a wilderness. About food. 70% of the time we ate at the hotel. Yes, there are many cafes on the embankment. But for some reason, the kitchen at the hotel is the tastiest. A woman, Dina, is cooking in the kitchen. But how she cooks! I can't always make it so tasty and high-quality at home. They don't cook like that for the whole day. And clearly according to the menu for each room under the order! Beauty. Everything is homemade and very tasty. There is always water, lemonade, Sukhumi beer, wine, sparkling wine at the reception. The hotel also provides towels for the pool. About the pool. It's really heated. Not a turn of phrase. The water is about 27 degrees. The pool is cleaned 2 times a day. Since morning. About 8 o'clock. And in the evening. About 10-11 o'clock. Not only the pool is being cleaned, but also the pool area! The sunbeds are also washed. The room is cleaned every day. Clean clean, good. At the counter, you can pay with both cash and mobile transfer. Parking at the hotel is under the camera. In general, this is the hotel where I will return and boldly recommend it to everyone visiting Abkhazia in Gagra. We were in Pitsunda. They moved their noses. And they breathed a sigh of relief after returning to the Astana Hotel, which has already become their home. Thanks to the management of the hotel Batal and Ilona! Only competent managers could assemble a competent and professional team! We rested on 06/19/2023
The case when you can safely say - amazing, magnificent, stunning!!!
The staff is polite, friendly and courteous. The room is clean, well maintained with a beautiful view of the sea, mountains and Sochi.
One drawback is an extremely inconvenient check-in from the highway. But these are small things.
I recommend it!
Where the sea merges with the sky. The intergalactic view, which opens from all rooms of the hotel, covers the panorama from Adler to Pitsunda. You can admire it endlessly. Continuous supply of hot / cold water, light and Internet (for those who come for the first time, this is a wonder, but in Gagra, the lights are turned off during the day in the city, the hotel also provides local water supply and electricity supply). Spacious, bright rooms with balconies, a comfortable bed and delicious-smelling linen. Heated swimming pool and sauna. To the sea-8 minutes walk from the mountain. A cafe at the hotel where you can eat 100% delicious and safe. And, if there is no need to rush around the sights and explore the neighborhood, you can not leave the hotel at all. Everything is there for a beautiful, comfortable stay
It's a very soulful place. This was our first visit to Abkhazia and our first stop was the Astana Hotel. A very nice girl at the reception told us everything, suggested how and where to go to the store. The cooks of the clever cook are very tasty. In general, I recommend 200%. Hello Astana from the curly-haired girls💋
We had a rest in late June-early July 2024 with our family. And in principle, even before arrival, there were disadvantages:
1. No one told us that if we take a taxi from the train station, then the street needs a completely different one, since you can only get here from below by taking a bypass road through the Sukhumi highway. As a result, the suitcases were dragged uphill on foot, they took us to the wrong place, or rather they did not take us, because the car did not pass further along the winding footpath.
2. The room. We lived on the 1st floor. I don't know about those who lived above, but ants were crawling everywhere in our room, and most unpleasant of all, fleas! Fleas perfectly cling to your feet when you walk around the room, and then they go to bed with you. The result is that in the morning I woke up all bitten by these creatures. So they also brought this souvenir home in a suitcase)
3. Swimming pool.
Immediately upon arrival, we were warned that the intestines are rampant now! And we found her on the first day, in the pool. The child took a swim in the afternoon, did not swim in the sea at all, by the evening it became bad. On the morning of the second day, I vomited once. We thought it was heat stroke, as the child felt better afterwards and everything was (practically) fine the whole second day. But! In the evening, the daughter swam in the pool again, after which the child became very ill: he vomited all night, and on the 3rd day the temperature was under 40! My husband got off with only a fever, and I had a stomach ache for 8 days of this remaining rest. While we were being treated in the room for 4 days, we noticed that the children of the new guests literally swim in the pool for a couple of days and that's it....None of them are visible anymore, they caught the same thing as us. According to the conversations of the guests, everyone was on pills and polysorb.
So I ask the owners of the hotel, if you value your guests, change the water in the pool more often and disinfect it!
4. TV. The antenna was not working well, the channels were cut down and it was sometimes annoying.
5. You cannot extend the room, even for a couple of hours.
Positive:
1. Beautiful view and nature around.
2. Change of bed linen every three days, cleaning every day.
3. Polite staff.
4. There is a cafe, which is very convenient - you do not need to go downstairs.
5. Excursions can be booked.
We rested at the hotel Astana 26-31.08.23 At the reception, a friendly girl explained, showed, gave out the usual keys with a number,towels for the pool. Our room was on the 2nd floor for the first 2 days. A large wide bed and 2 single beds and a red sofa. TV, refrigerator for drinks. No water was given. Teapot, glasses and plates. The air conditioner was working. There is no wardrobe, hangers on a hanger, there were bedside tables. Shower room with toilet, mirror over the sink, hair dryer, set of towels, shampoo and gel, cramped. There is a small balcony with a table and 2 chairs and a stunning view of the sea and the pool.In the distance, Sochi Olympic Park was visible on the horizon. You can watch beautiful sunsets. The pool is small, it's good to plunge into it after the sauna.There is a dining room, homemade breakfasts, you can have breakfast on an open veranda overlooking the sea. It was necessary to wait for some time for the ordered dishes. There are 136 steps to go down to the sea, the grapes hung beautifully from above. It is quite possible to live, quietly, at home.
I do not recommend this institution, we rested in August 2024, came to Abkhazia for the first time, when we got to the hotel, the young lady hurried us to throw off the money for the entire period of stay and brazenly said that if we did not like something, the money would not be returned. She didn't even explain in a nutshell how to get to the sea. About the hotel: constant problems with water, sparks fly from the sockets, they asked for a thermometer at the reception, as a result, she gave a non-working one, said run to the pharmacy I can't help you.(and all this is a pleasure for 7500r / day), it is far from "60 meters above the sky level", walk along the serpentine there for 20 minutes on foot, the car will not go there, the taxi does not go either, or detour for 400-500 rubles. The bed linen was changed to raw, additional shoes are needed in the pool. The hotel was promoted at the expense of Avito, when we saw the upcoming path from the sea to the hotel, we cursed it in the truest sense of the word, the price of space, which does not correspond at all.
It's a good hotel in itself, clean and cozy. The view is simply stunning on the sea. Yes, the only disadvantage is the stairs to the sea, not to be on it, of course, unless you are an athlete. The food in this hotel is very tasty, friendly and very kind and helpful girls. We only ate there. Overall, I really liked it.
We had a rest with my wife from the 1st to the 7th.The staff is polite, friendly, and competent.
The room is magnificent, with a balcony, with a wonderful view of the sea!
The sea was cold-14gr., so the pool helped out (25-27gr), we swam with great pleasure several times a day, periodically combining with a sauna!
The food in the cafe is delicious, varied, and at affordable prices.The hotel is clean, bright, and promotes a good rest.
We are coming to Astana for the second time!
The first time is September 2022. And now for the May holidays, a very good hotel, wonderful hosts! Clean, cozy rooms, all with beautiful sea views! The hotel is located on a mountain, but it is a 7-minute walk to the sea, although the hotel has something to do) a warm pool, sauna, dining room with excellent chefs) and of course a lot of excursions) in a good mood, you will not be bored!
I highly recommend it!
To the owners! Prosperity to the hotel and staff only!!!!
Drinks for every taste can be found here!!
A chic hotel! Amazing view! Service, rooms, linen change. Heated swimming pool, sauna, everything is super! The hotel is new. The kitchen is a dining room, but the food is delicious, the portions are large. And of course the Abkhazian flavor! cons -high.
Gorgeous, most importantly clean!!! All the staff is friendly!! Room cleaning for 5+!! We recommend it to the whole family!!! We will definitely come back!!!
We had a rest for only two days from 31.03 to 2.04, but we were delighted. Gorgeous view from all rooms, clean, beautiful and warm inside the room, clean pool, small but warm sauna, friendly owner. I recommend. The view from the 3-bed room is attached. From the funny - the phone at the hotel thought that I was in Russia, sending SMS with a return, and downstairs on the embankment that I was in Abkhazia))
Very, very much! I liked the hotel. Wonderful rooms, spacious enough for two. Everything is clean and tidy, towels, personal hygiene items, bed linen are changed without a reminder. The room has air conditioning, TV, refrigerator.
There is a small balcony with a table and two armchairs. But the most important thing is the sea view! BOUNTY, no less!!!!
The hotel has a swimming pool, sauna. There is an outdoor veranda and an enclosed dining room.
Special thanks to the staff!!! Very friendly and friendly! It did not leave the impression that we had returned to our family and where we had been expected for a long time, even though we were in Abkhazia for the first time!
The food is varied, for every taste! If you want porridge, please, amlet- yes, here it is, even simple, even complex (with ham and tomatoes). Soups, hot dishes, meat, fish, pastries.... everything is there, everything!!!
It's hard to find the right words, only indescribable delight!
Now only Abkhazia, only "Astana"!
The hotel made our stay in Abkhazia comfortable and cozy.
The most important advantage is the bomb-like views from absolutely every room!The rooms are spacious.Very clean.Daily cleaning, as well as a change of towels.The room has everything you need.Anastasia is a very friendly receptionist.Thank her very much!Another significant plus is a heated swimming pool with very clean water.There is a small sauna.We didn't eat at the cafe, we only tried breakfast.We liked the cafe on the shore more.
The disadvantage is not big, of course, a steep climb up the serpentine and stairs.But, such cardio training is only good)))
We will return to Astana with pleasure!
We lived for 5 days. Why did you choose it? A new hotel in 2017 (not yet "rolled out"). The center of Old Gagra. Within walking distance of the sea, restaurants... you can walk slowly to the Oldenburg Park and its palace. But the main thing is the stunning view from the balcony of the room, the sea and the whole of Gagra. For the sake of this view, you can forgive the shortcomings of the hotel. Its main disadvantage is the uphill climb. The hotel is located at the foot of the mountain. There are no problems getting down, even for older people. The rise to + 40, with bags and children, will be problematic. We lived at the end of April, +20. We climbed from the sea to the hotel in 18 minutes (60 years and 100 kg)... Normal. We drove from Primorsky Park, also from the Gagra shopping center for 300 rubles, by taxi. There is almost no public transport here. All by taxi. The grocery store is just downstairs. At the reception you can buy alcoholic beverages (wine, cognac, vodka, champagne, beer at normal prices. For example, Abkhazian wine - 300 rubles. We ordered group excursions to the Ritsa, Mount Athos... What's nice is that everyone brings and takes tourists away from the hotels. And in Astana, too... there is a parking place. There are no balconies on the ground floors, but immediately there is access to the pool. A pool with warm water. It is cleaned and changed daily...The hotel is quiet, birds and the sound of the surf can be heard from the balcony. The charming girl Nastya at the reception has a separate respect. He will always ask how you went yesterday, tell you, help you with all questions. The room lacks a wardrobe, chairs and a table on the balcony. It is inconvenient to carry back and forth. Breakfasts and lunches were not used at the hotel... I liked the restaurant "Ritsa", down by the sea...but the prices are not cheap. The food is very tasty, large portions. Be sure to visit the palace, the Castle of the Prince of Oldenburg. It is under repair, but they let you in there for 150 rubles. A magnificent abandoned building with a beautiful view from the windows and balconies. If you have to visit Gagra, then Astana is a very worthy place
Gorgeous view from the balcony , clean pool (cleaned every morning), cleaning every day. The bed and towels are fresh . There is laundry for 200 rubles. The big minus is that the problem is with the cook . We were not fed upon arrival , they said that lunch was over and they were preparing for dinner .Although, humanly, it would be possible to offer scrambled eggs at least to people from the road and with children. And we've heard from everyone that somehow it's not very long to wait for food. It is probably better to make people book in advance, as they do in a nearby hotel. And another minus is that the bathroom accessories are not reported - they were put in once and that's it.
The rooms are spacious and cozy.cleaning every day.the staff is polite and helpful.
The pool is clean, the water is warm
The views from the balcony are just super!!!
Everything is fresh in the dining room.The cook is a woman.it cooks very tasty.But since she alone takes orders and cooks and cleans and calculates, you need to wait from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours
Astana. We stayed at the end of December 2022. Comfortable spacious room with sea view. There is enough space: two beds (with snow-white linen), 2 bedside tables, a refrigerator, a large table, two chairs and a table, your own shower, toilet, sink. Everything is clean, cleaning every day. Disposable shampoos and shower gel are updated every day (free of charge). They prepare food of your choice for an additional fee: porridge, pancakes, cheesecakes, eggs, sausages, coffee, tea, compote, cocoa, khachapuri. Everything was delicious for us, the portions were large. We ate very heavily. One of the days it rained, we spent it in a heated warm pool with breaks for a sauna (everything is clean everywhere, it is pleasant). What a thrill after such a day under a hot shower, in a white bathrobe, and in the room there are also heated floors! Very comfortable.
The sea is on the branch, the hotel is on the hill. Down 3 minutes on foot, up 10 slowly, there are steps. You can take a taxi from the main road to the hotel for 400 rubles. We walked in any weather. Vacation, we are not in a hurry, we are exploring the surroundings). The view is amazing! Day and night you can hear the sound of the sea in the room, but the noise of ours is not, although the road is closer than the sea)
You can put things in the laundry, 200 rubles. They were returned dry.
We liked everything, THANK YOU very much for your hospitality!
Beautiful sea view, fresh air, clean room and good food. There is parking in front of the hotel.
Check-in from the upper, bypass road, on the road towards Sukhum, just after the tunnel exit to the right.
The owner of the hotel is a very polite and pleasant interlocutor!
The most beautiful sunsets. The room was clean. The shower is old, it needs to be replaced. There were not enough cupboards in the room. And the wifi worked very poorly in the room. The staff was polite. The pool is super. The sauna is small and normal. The food in the canteen is simple. After reading the reviews, we thought that the hotel was just inconvenient, but it was normal for us. On the contrary, a walk is the best thing👍🏻
We lived in this hotel from 09.10-15.10. We chose a hotel in Gagra for a long time and decided to read good reviews. In general, we can not say that everything is bad, but still there are nuances that you just need to know about:
Location. The site indicates the availability of parking, but there is no parking as such. 4 cars at the entrance to the hotel-this is Parking. We were in October, there were not many people, but if at least 1/3 of the guests arrive by car, there is simply nowhere to put them. There is also no driving directions on the hotel's website, in this case it is important, because the hotel is located on a mountain in the literal sense of the word. I had to get lost. And of course it's a very tough climb. Although we are not elderly people and have lived in many places, but it is very high. You won't go to the hotel once again. Especially with children and in the hot season. Almost a vertical staircase with very small steps.
Food- well, it's just tasteless. I don't understand the positive reviews. The only thing I liked was khinkali, but we didn't get them all the time. In general, it is expensive to eat. Downstairs you can have a much tastier and cheaper breakfast and dinner.
Rooms: the rooms are large, spacious, underfloor heating, in general everything is clean. The cleaning is superficial, there is no trash can in the room, towels and linen have not been replaced once all the time. There are no towels for the pool, bathrobes for rent 500r/piece. The kettle on the floor was very surprised. Like a dorm. If someone decided to drink coffee in the morning, you can not wait for the kettle. We meet this for the first time. Well, if it's difficult to put a kettle in each room, well, at least a cooler or a coffee machine on the floor would make the life of the guests easier.
Pool: it's quite small, warm, but how clean I can't say.
The main plus is of course the views. This is probably the main thing that I liked. We were vacationing in the low season and the hotel was relatively inexpensive. But I wouldn't pay more. There are newer and more comfortable hotels in Gagra in the same price category.
In general , I liked the rest .but it's probably not thanks to Astana, because we only spent the night in the hotel.
I definitely recommend it. I liked literally everything. The hotel is cozy and warm. From the first day we felt at home. The descent from the mountain was a little scary at first, then I even liked it. A walk along the serpentine is only good.In the dining room, two lovely ladies will feed you tasty and promptly. It's not expensive at all. You can watch the sunset sea endlessly . The staff is very friendly. I am sure that I will definitely return there.
Excellent rooms with a magnificent view of the sea. Responsive staff. The pool is warm and clean. I was not in season, in off-season you can have a great rest and enjoy the sea air. It's a bit high to walk from the sea, but you can always call a taxi if necessary. It is necessary to go down to the nearest store, it is better to take everything you need with you.
So-so, we were not very hospitably welcomed, there are scrambled eggs and sausages in the canteen in the morning, but the portions are large, of course it is better than standing in line somewhere in the city. The floors are washed with some kind of product with a very sharp unpleasant odor. It takes about 20-25 minutes to walk to the sea, but the descent is very steep and it is very difficult to climb. The hotel is clean, the rooms have a shower room, TV, refrigerator. There is a kettle and an ironing board on the floor in the corridor, There is an outdoor pool, There is no elevator to the upper floors, it is difficult to carry a suitcase. If a person is young and healthy, then you can stay in this hotel. And I don't want to go there anymore.
In general, everything is fine. The rooms are perfect, the staff is super, the quality of bed linen and towels does not reach 5, the chef in the local dining room is a very responsive lady, everything is delicious, the pool is cool, warm. We rested for two weeks, the hotel owner washed the pool area himself every morning and cleaned it, WELL DONE. The jamb is large-WIFI for 3. There is nothing to say about the general parking, because the owner allowed me to put the car at his home. They have a family business, they work WELL. The location is a bit steep uphill, but it is good for your health.
