Intourist-Zakarpattya Hotel — Hotel in Uzhhorod Urban Hromada

It is close to bus terminal. And it is the only positive information Im going to give. Obviously because we are not locals we didn't know that Sakura fest is taking place at the time of our visit, we didn't have other option than book the room in this hotel for the last night of our one week stay.||Booking was nice and easy, double business room shoud be the good choice I touhgt mostly because room in Uzhgorod hotel cost us only 100 UAH more per night and it was almost twice the price thad Ungweiser hotel withwith clean rooms and delightfull brevery atop.||I could't be far from the truth. We arrived two hours earlier (well what to do), they let us pay for our bagage and three hour later our room was still not rady. Cash only again!! . The only ATM takes 10%!!! fee!! What is wrong with this place. They gave us the key without any info when is the breakfast, where is the breakfast place, check-out info, where the lifts are or anything. Latter we found out soon as we found ourselves squeezing in the only working elevater with 8 long term tenants from South Asia. Extremely "unpolished" and smelly. But the best was yet to come.||Corridors are underlit even during the brihgt day and when we finaly find our door and keyhole and opened it I had to start to laugh with desperat laugh (see pic). Our twin business room was in fact tiny single economy room with extra bed from unfolded sofa styl undone by room-maid. ||So we took the stairs (faster than waitig for the lift to come) and asked if they are jsut testing us or what. Receptionist was a younger boy who couldn't care less but called duty manager anyway (she was jsut passing by). After some like 20 minutes of persuading they relocate us to (ehm) twin business room and duty manager (in particular) gave us a few names in her tongue (I know coz cleaning lady at my work is Ukrainian). ||The rest is like merry-go-round: only warm water, leaking shower, flooded bathroom, unflushing toilet (had to buy our own toiletpaper), waiting for the lift full of Indian studnets from local medical school, little girls with heavy pake-up running and up and down the those dark corridors, funny breakfast, poor internet connection, pigeon poops, no light bulbs in the lamps,...||And check-out? Before the receptionist gave us back the key bond (150 UAH) she called the room-maid to check the our room. Like if there was something left we could take away or what?||||So If you are keen to find about soviet way of living, this could be right for you. Otherwise run as...

Stayed for 1 night on the 14th September and I must say I don't think I have stayed in a hotel that is rundown and poorly lit as this one. The hotel is within walking distance of the bus station and as we were coming from Chop on the bus we saw it as we entered Uzhhorod but it is still a 10-15 minute walk from the city centre so bring a good pair of walking shoes if you want to explore more of the city. Check-in was very fast and it seemed that there were plenty of rooms available but when we went up in the lift and down the corridor to Room 528 it seems that the hotel hasn't seen a refurbishment in years as the lighting seemed broken and they hadn't managed to fix it so at night I had to be careful I didn't bump into anyone. The room was very old and some lights weren't working, also the bathroom floor got wet every time I took a shower and was still wet 12 hours later in the morning. After a very uncomfortable night in which I must have got mosquito bites which I seemed to get 1 week on I was pleased to see that the breakfast was better even though the options are rather limited and portions were very small but seats in the breakfast room seemed in better condition than the bar downstairs which were very well worn and losing their golden colour but at least you could get Wi-Fi which was reliable. ||Conclusion- The Hotel Zakarpattya is to be only stayed at if you are on a tight budget or want to be near the bus station but other than that I do not recommend this hotel and suggest you try others in the city which is rather beautiful...

We didn't have any expectations based on the reviews, just wanted to experience the pure communism which is still present in every corner of the hotel. The check-in: horrible, we waited for half an hour in a line because at 1pm there was only one poor lost boy at the front desk, he gave us the keys and some little papers for breakfast, wifi and check-out info (mostly in ukranian azbuka, I cannot imagine how people survive if they are not able to read them :D). We got 2 rooms: bussines single room for my friend which looked really bad and old but you don't expect much for the price, and then a deluxe suite. It has a new bathroom (but the bathtub wasn't cleaned well), good bed, it is spacious but still, normally, this would be a standard suite, nothing luxurious. Beside the rooms, the hotel was kinda dark, i felt like in American Horror Story :D, the breakfast was a little poor (3 variants - sausages/eggs/omelette+bread, tiny butter, 2 tiny slices of cheese and ham, tea, coffee), the restaurant didn't work but we went to the bar and to Outsider pub connected to the hotel which was cool. In general, if you want sth clean, new, luxurious and good service, don't stay. If you want to sleep and see how it was in '83, do not...
