Park Hotel Aluston

December 2021. Heading to the hotel. At 100 meters from the hotel you have to drive along the concrete flooring (which belongs to another hotel) at the end of which there is a cliff on the left side. Approaching the hotel, you will have to check the car for a diagonal and the driver for a fortress of nerves, since it is necessary to go down a significant slope down to the parking lot. We were very "lucky", we were in Alushta in a snowfall and it was possible to go down / up only by car (thorns). You could fall on foot. I beg you. Make an entrance either from the street or a staircase down the side of the descent.
There are no questions to the hotel staff at all. Everyone is very polite and correct. But in the 21st century, the hotel does not have cashless payments. For accommodation dogs take a deposit, but this does not affect the cost of living. Superior double room - a complete set of accessories, including even a bathrobe. The mattress is very hard, probably spunbond and coconut without a box spring. Heating through the climate system on the ceiling with a touch control module on the wall. The balcony overlooks the sea. In the balcony module, between the door and the window, there was a hole through which icy air was blown from the sea down the legs. Breakfast for a small population without a choice, but tasty and satisfying enough to exist half a day before lunch.
Overall, the hotel deserves a solid 4 stars. But on the little things...

We stayed at the hotel in mid November. Of the absolute pluses - the location of the hotel. Close to the sea, close to the promenade, close to everything. Great sea view from the 6th floor. Simply amazing. A small inconvenience - a very steep hill in front of the entrance to the hotel. Literally 20 meters, but the angle of inclination is significant. We coped without problems, but for people with problems, the elderly, with small children, strollers, it may be difficult.
The deluxe room is good, corresponds to 4 stars. Everything is as in the photo - two rooms, a large balcony, a jacuzzi, bathrobes, a kettle.
Of the minuses. Breakfast was very poor. Not 4 stars at all. Everything is cold, the choice is very small. I understand that there are practically no people at the hotel in November, but if they are open, then you need to match the prices and stars.
Heating. There are no batteries in the room. Heating with air conditioning. Firstly, the room does not heat up well (after two days it became warm), and secondly, the air conditioner dries the air very much.

The sea view is fantastic. The rooms are spacious, suite with a jacuzzi, but empty, the renovation is simple, not a Hilton. Hairdryer, shampoo, gel are present, toothbrush, washcloth are absent. A wide selection of towels and a bathrobe for a very thin person. Breakfast is appropriate, no frills, the choice is not wide, but you can eat. You can't go directly to the sea from the hotel, you have to wind around the mountains. I took off a star for the mounting foam sticking out from under the trim on the bathroom door and the average food.

Numbers at the level of the four in European resorts. While the hotel is new, everything is clean and functional. There is parking on the ground floor, but there are few places. The room and bathroom are spacious. The room has a small safe with a combination lock, a refrigerator, TV, air conditioning (central ventilation) with touch control, a kettle, 2 bottles of water, tea, cups, spoons, glasses, slippers, bathrobes, towels, a blanket. The bed is comfortable. Some pillows are already pressed, but there is plenty to choose from. A lot of sockets and lamps: ceiling (several modes: subdued light, warm, neutral white diffused, white directed downwards), two bedside (spot and ring), balcony. The room key is electronic (card). The sea view from the balcony on the 7th floor is excellent. You can pay for your stay by card. Disadvantages (small): the refrigerator is small, there were short-term interruptions in water supply, the chairs on the balcony are dark - they heat up instantly in the sun, there is no visor on the 7th floor above the balcony - after the rain everything is wet. The hotel is located on a slope, so the road to it is a good workout :-)

Good for your money. If there were better breakfasts (and they frankly spoiled everything), then the rating could be higher. The room is excellent, with a balcony and sea view - just super! But there were problems with the air conditioner. During the day, I could not cope with the heat from the word at all. But it was enough for the night, it worked fine.
Walking distance to the sea, but the water is not the best on the coast.
