The receptionist is friendly. They are greeted by African Americans. The room is old but clean, the bathroom is not in the subject at all - it's inconvenient. The spa pool is large, the hammam stinks, the sauna is normal. The breakfasts are very poor. Above, after one and a half km, the Medeu cable car. A mountain river flows opposite. In general, it's normal, but the breakfasts and the hammam are sad.

We stayed at the hotel for 10 days. Everything is fine, starting from the reception area. Cozy rooms, excellent service. Cleaning, change of bed linen and towels daily. The girls know their job and clean efficiently. I also really liked the pool and spa area. The only thing I took off one star for is that there is no anti-slip coating on the floor in the hammam, and there is also no warning that the floor is slippery. That's why my mom had an accident- she fell there and severely injured her leg on the first night of her stay at the hotel. Which greatly overshadowed our vacation. The hotel staff responded to this emergency. We bought medicines and everything necessary in the current situation. Breakfast was brought to her room. But the aftertaste of what happened remained. And the consequences of the fall are the forced sick leave and the upcoming long-term treatment and restoration of health. I would like the management of the hotel and the spa to take precautions so that this does not happen to hotel guests again. But over the next 9 days, the situation in the spa did not change, that is, the mats from the hammam, which were allegedly cleaned that day and sent to the dry cleaner (according to the administrator), did not appear. The breakfasts at the hotel are excellent and there is a choice of dishes: Fruits, vegetables, meat products, porridge, omelets, boiled eggs, desserts, sandwiches, cheese, yoghurts, cheesecakes, cottage cheese, etc. In general, I recommend the hotel.

A cozy hotel far from the hustle and bustle of the city. The courteous staff, a large living room and bathroom, and a very chic variety of breakfasts are the standard of oriental hospitality. I highly recommend this hotel.

I highly recommend not staying at the Samal Hotel. The reviews on all platforms are good, in fact they are weak 3 stars of the Moscow level. If it weren't for the fatigue after a long journey, we would have taken our things and left. The only advantage is breakfast. Of the cons: 1. Super dirty carpet in the room: hair, dirt, debris, etc. It feels like it hasn't been vacuumed for a year. 2. Cracks in the bathroom floor, the cup holders will get wet. 3. Bath towels are wiped clean, just a little more and there will be holes. 4. The terry-cloth robe crumbled in my hands, and the threads kept coming out. 5. There is a black eyesore on the magnifying mirror in the bathroom. 6. The roof on the balcony is full of holes, and the floors are dirty again. 7. There was a pillow on one chair on the balcony, not on the other, there was no table, there were on all other balconies. 8. The SPA is the worst we've ever been to. Tired towels, no slippers. A hammam without a shower!!! It's super unhygienic! The sauna is too dry. And there were some villi floating in the pool. 9. Employees shamelessly sit on their phones, watch videos without headphones, or talk on video. 10. The hotel looks super tired.

A wonderful hotel! Convenient location: close to Medeu and the Chymbulak Ski complex. It takes 5-7 minutes to get to them from the hotel by taxi. Very tasty and varied breakfasts. Very tasty dinners! The hotel is quiet and cozy. There is a swimming pool, hills, sauna, SPA. From the window there is a view of the mountains, which is especially pleasing. The staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and warm. We felt at home. We will definitely come back here.

A great hotel, the breakfast is simply divine, very tasty, the view from the outdoor terrace is fascinating, you drink tea and enjoy. The staff is friendly, any questions were resolved very quickly. A separate admiration is the SPA and the masseuse girl. The room is clean, the bed is soft and fluffy. The only drawback was that I had to carry the kettle around the room because the cord is short, and the socket is under the table)) There is a restaurant nearby, you can have dinner there or order in the room, they cook very tasty😋

Very pleasant national rest, good service, pleasant atmosphere, delicious food… But there is no tomato juice, according to the waitress, it is not very in demand ... what they drink vodka with, I do not know, but these are small things. I recommend rest. About 5,000 came out per person.

Varied and delicious buffet breakfasts. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The rooms and throughout the hotel have very beautiful furniture. The bed is comfortable enough. There is a balcony in the room, we had dinner on it several times. I liked the restaurant: the food is hearty and very tasty (prices, in my opinion, are above average). The staff is helpful and pleasant. Daily cleaning It is difficult to sleep with the windows open, because the windows overlook the road. Surprisingly, this road (I thought we settled on the outskirts) It is active at any time of the day or night. The noise of flying "clunkers" spoils the whole atmosphere of living in the mountains. The SPA is not bad, but it did not motivate me to go to it more than once. Smoking is not prohibited on the balconies of the rooms, so at any moment you can smell cigarette smoke from the neighbors, even if you have a non-smoking room

In general, everything is great, the rooms are neat and clean, the staff is polite at reception Only in the restaurant on the 5th floor the waiters are not polite 🙂 Tactless... rude... treating customers haphazardly… When you take food, they look at you like you're a seagull... and they're watching you from the side, all the time asking what number you're from It's already inconvenient... personally, I've been asked 4-5 times from which number, and when you're sitting eating, they come to the table from which number you are It's like you're a fucking thief, you came from the street and you eat for free.…

Great hotel. The staff works great, they always go to a meeting for any questions. The room was spacious, clean, has everything you need: kettle, water, tea, safe, refrigerator. The bathroom has all the necessary accessories. I can't appreciate breakfast, since I left at night, but I asked to pack up for the road, we prepared some sandwiches, yogurt and a delicious cake. The spa area is also comfortable, with a fairly large and deep pool, sauna and hammam, and massage services. In general, I liked everything. I recommend.

Everything is clean and tidy. Sauna, hammam, swimming pool, everything is at a very good level. The breakfasts are delicious and varied. There is a restaurant nearby with very tasty dishes, I especially recommend a large cheburek) Many thanks to all the staff for their responsiveness and pleasant attitude. 10/10

Great hotel. There are two restaurants. One is in a building on the 5th floor with breakfast and a basic menu, the second is in an adjacent building and an extensive menu. The prices are Moscow, but the portions are large and everything is delicious. The spa has a swimming pool with Jacuzzi, a classic steam room and a hammam. The rooms are spacious with large bathrooms. The podemnik is 10 minutes away by public transport. You can call a taxi or take a bus, which are walking quite often. The only thing is there are no shops nearby, but you can drive to the city or order delivery to the hotel.

The room is spacious, everything is clean, there are bathrobes and slippers. A very comfortable and large mattress. Very varied and delicious breakfasts. The staff is trying hard. The room is cleaned every day. All rooms with a balcony overlook the road, it is quite noisy. There is only one wish for the hotel: wash the eggs before cooking). It's strange when boiled eggs with specific traces of droppings are on the breakfast table. In principle, this is absolutely not a problem (they make a delicious omelet to order), but it spoils the overall look.

It's a good place. Take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. There is a good restaurant nearby, but you have to be prepared for the fact that the prices there are high. Not a bad SPA, swimming pool, baths. On the downside, there is no private territory to walk with the children. I have to walk around the parking lot, which is not very good.

The hotel is very beautiful. Beautiful air. The rooms are clean and smell fresh. San nodes are very convenient. You can try different dishes for breakfast. Everything is fresh. There is a swimming pool and saunas where you can spend your time. I rested for everything from 10 to 10 points. But the hotel itself does not prepare lunch and dinner. To do this, you must leave the hotel and enter the restaurant that is located nearby. The restaurant serves delicious food. They serve everything correctly and temporarily. The prices in the restaurant are very expensive. For one person, the first and second course with salad, without alcohol, costs about $ 40. The place is very beautiful. I recommend it to everyone.

Excellent breakfasts, decent room stock. The location is convenient, the mountains are visible from the windows. There is a bus stop nearby - 10 minutes to Medeu. There are several trails for hiking enthusiasts. We liked everything. A decent spa, all the locations in it are in working order. Comfortably. One of the wishes of the administration is to remove the carpets above the headboard - they are dust collectors and it was felt.

I travel very often for work and I like to relax in different countries. I always have great respect for good service, cleanliness, and celebrate food. What I can say is good - excellent breakfasts and proximity to Cimbulac. Of the cons. Old furniture, cracked tiles on the balcony, I almost hurt my leg, there is no table and chairs on the balcony, the windows are right on the road. Good sound insulation, but if you open the window, the Speedy racers are in all their glory all night. On the very first night, she started coughing, after taking antihistamines, it became clear that she was allergic. I looked at how they were cleaning - something was vacuumed and that's it, and there was carpet everywhere - both in the corridors and in the rooms and old curtains a la drapes. Tulle, by the way, with a melted hole. I ran a wet cloth over the carpet - tin. She asked to change the bed linen to washed without special equipment and knock out the pillow. We did it, it became a little easier. I am not a severe allergic person. Everything is +- standard, but, in fact, I did not sleep normally for a single night. Everything was very pre-paid, I had to stay and somehow get out of it. There is a huge amount of chlorine in the spa. Everything itches afterwards. In general, something needs to be changed. Besides the kitchen, they have a huge respect)

In general, everything is good, but the following disappointed: 1. After check-in, a broken lock was found in the bathroom. We contacted the reception, a carpenter came, looked and said you need another carpenter, left a request. As a result, no one came to fix the lock for three days of daily reminders, and the lock also remained in a broken state. That's saying something. 2. The room cards were blocked twice the day before departure, I had to run to the reception and ask to update the cards 3. The restaurant (not during breakfast) on the fifth floor is just terrible... They left one waiter at all and he runs around trying to please everyone, as a result, a complete failure in all directions (even when invoicing, he managed to mess up). The receptionist just walks around and apologizes. 4. Towels in the rooms leave much to be desired, I do not understand why they were saved on them. This is one of the disadvantages. One of the advantages. 1. Good spa, good massage 2. More or less breakfasts 3. Nearby there is a chic restaurant for children (aquarium), although not cheap, but it's worth it. 4. Normal room cleaning. 5. The rooms are quite spacious. 6. The staff is polite enough
