We just returned from a week-long trip and couldn’t be happier with our stay at U Bocharova Ruchya. We specifically wanted to stay in central Sochi—affordable yet comfortable—and this hotel exceeded all expectations. Nestled in a scenic spot, most rooms offer stunning views of the mountains and coastline from their balconies. The passing trains didn’t bother us at all, which was a big relief. Our third-floor room was spacious, even included an extra bed, making it perfect for our group. All toiletries were provided, and breakfast was generous enough for our needs—whether enjoyed indoors or out on the large terrace. The hotel is built across multiple levels, which adds character but does mean some walking between floors. One highlight? The pool is accessible almost anytime, which came in handy after late-night arrivals from excursions to Krasnaya Polyana and the Olympic Park. Free beach towels are also available. The municipal beach “Albatros” is easily reachable via shuttle transfer—though walking up from there can be tough due to the steep incline. Huge thanks to driver Sergey—he was incredibly attentive and helpful. The staff throughout the property felt warm and welcoming, like family. Getting around town is simple: catch buses 4 or 7 (about 15 minutes to the port or Riviera Park). If you walk to Vinogradnaya Street, more bus and minibus options open up. Most evenings we dined at City Lounge—great food, cozy vibe, highly recommended. Overall, this place feels like a hidden gem in Sochi. A truly memorable stay.

I stayed at this property recently and honestly, the experience was quite disappointing. While it's conveniently located near the beach and close to public transit, major changes since the new management took over have significantly impacted service quality. The free beach towels and umbrellas are now available only for rent—something that used to be included. Cleaning frequency has dropped drastically: instead of daily housekeeping, it’s now once a week or every five to six days. Trash isn’t collected daily either, which becomes uncomfortable in hot weather. Bed linen is changed only once weekly—unlike before when it happened more frequently, even if they weren’t fully soiled. The glass-paned doors in the hallway let light through if not dimmed properly at night, making it hard to sleep. Unfortunately, staff don’t monitor this, so guests must get up themselves to fix it—disrupting rest. Noise levels are terrible; neighbors can be loud, and there’s almost no soundproofing. I also had issues with outdated plumbing—workers came to fix the shower and toilet, but one left water spilled and damaged the floor, and nobody cleaned up afterward. I stopped calling after that, as the toilet flush still didn’t work by the end of my stay. Check-in was also awkward, with some unpleasant moments upfront. On the bright side, internet speed has improved noticeably. That said, unless you're here strictly for business on a short trip, I wouldn’t recommend this place for vacation stays. The price may seem low compared to nearby hotels, but the service simply doesn’t match the cost.

I absolutely loved my stay at Park Gorkogo Apart-Hotel in Sochi! The service was exceptional from the moment I arrived—every staff member was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The apartment itself was clean, spacious, and well-equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable trip. I appreciated how quiet and peaceful the location was, yet still just a short walk or quick transit ride away from the city center and major attractions. The attention to detail and warm hospitality made me feel right at home. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Sochi—it’s a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and great value. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Absolutely wonderful stay at Rodina Grand Hotel and Spa! The service was exceptional—staff were attentive, friendly, and always ready to help with any request. My husband even joked a few times, 'Why are they so eager? They’re almost too polite!' 😄 Everything was perfect for us. The massage was heavenly, and our daughter’s swimming instructor, Pavel, did an amazing job—he was patient, encouraging, and made every session fun. We left feeling completely refreshed and satisfied. Honestly, if the spa had a jacuzzi or a Turkish bath, this place would be unbeatable. A truly memorable experience. Highly recommended!

Stayed in the top-floor room with a balcony and amazing city views—definitely worth it! The apartment was spotless and well-equipped: great shower, cooking stove, fridge, kettle, microwave, washing machine, and a full set of kitchenware and dining essentials. It felt like home. The property itself is small, but just a 5-minute walk away is the pool at Neolit Senator hotel—be sure to check with reception about access. Also, it's only about 10 minutes on foot to Albatsos Beach (up and down), making beach trips super convenient. Everything was perfect—the location, the comfort, the vibe. Thanks for such a relaxing getaway!

We stayed at Sonata Hotel in August 2024, and while the cleanliness was excellent—with daily housekeeping—it was disappointing to experience such poor service upon arrival. The hotel is very close to the beach and just a short walk from the electric train station, making it convenient for exploring Sochi. However, when we arrived early and had already coordinated with the front desk, the security guard refused to let us in and even tried to escort us out with our child. It felt extremely unwelcoming, especially after paying extra for early check-in. The manager who eventually arrived didn’t offer any apology, which left us feeling upset and frustrated. Our mood remained low throughout the stay, despite the clean rooms and pleasant seaside walks that helped lift spirits. To our dismay, the same unfriendly staff member was there again during check-out, repeating the same cold attitude. While the location and cleanliness were positives, the lack of professionalism and basic courtesy made the experience unpleasant. We won’t be returning—no matter how free the offer. For the price, guests deserve better than being treated like intruders.

We stayed here as a family with two kids and had an absolutely wonderful time. The sanatorium is beautiful, clean, and very well-maintained—our room was cozy and spotless, making it a relaxing retreat for everyone. The meals were excellent: varied, tasty, and kid-friendly, which made dining easy and enjoyable. Staff were polite and attentive throughout our visit, always ready to help. The property is spacious, perfect for families—we rented a baby playpen and bikes through the platform, plus scooters for the kids. There’s plenty of room to walk around, explore, and let the children run freely. We noticed several guests who’ve been coming back year after year, which speaks volumes about the quality. Location is great—easy access to nearby spots and activities. Overall, this place offers fantastic value and a stress-free vacation experience. Highly recommended for families!

We came to Sochi for our spring break and spent a while searching for a room that could comfortably accommodate two kids at a reasonable price. The family room was perfect! It’s ideal for children under 10—slightly tight if they’re older, but still very functional. What stood out was the private fenced area with security cameras—great peace of mind while the kids played safely outdoors. I loved relaxing with a coffee on the covered green terrace, just enjoying the quiet atmosphere. The location is super close to the beach, which is a big plus—even though we couldn’t swim in April, we already know exactly where we’ll stay next time. The whole experience was excellent, and I highly recommend Sunrise Guest House for families looking for comfort, safety, and great value.

The Raduga-Prestizh Hotel exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, everything felt seamless and welcoming. The location is excellent—just a short walk from the city center and close to public transport, making it easy to explore Sochi. The room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with modern amenities. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. What stood out most was the incredible value for money—this place offers luxury-level comfort without the high price tag. I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Sochi. It’s definitely a top pick for a memorable stay.

Staying at Sea Dream Hotel was an absolute delight from start to finish. The location is unbeatable—right next to the train station and just steps away from the Black Sea, with breathtaking sunsets visible from every room. I loved how easy it was to hop on a local electric train to explore nearby destinations like Red Forest or the Olympic Park—no traffic, no stress, just smooth travel. In the evenings, the outdoor restaurant and café buzzed with energy, playing great music that made it perfect for relaxing, chatting, or even dancing under the stars. The staff were friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about guest experience. It’s one of those rare places you visit once and immediately want to return. If you’re looking for comfort, convenience, and a true sense of place in Sochi, this hotel delivers everything—and then some.

We booked just one night while passing through Sochi, mainly to rest and take a stroll around the city. The hotel is perfectly located—right in the heart of town, just a short ride from Riviera. It took only about 7 minutes by taxi to reach the waterfront. There’s a parking lot on-site, which was convenient for us. Check-in at the front desk was quick and smooth. We stayed on the 4th floor with access to an elevator—no hassle climbing stairs. The hallway had a water cooler, ironing board, and iron, which were very helpful. Our room was bright, clean, and spacious, with a large, comfortable bed that made for a great night’s sleep. Breakfast was a highlight—fresh, delicious, and filling. I felt completely satisfied after every meal. Overall, we were extremely happy with our stay. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for comfort and convenience in Sochi.

The Chebotaryov Hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, everything felt just right—warm pool, beautiful views from the window, and spotless cleanliness. What stood out most was how affordable it was for such a high standard. The staff were incredibly friendly and responsive even before check-in; they answered all our questions promptly and offered helpful tips. If you plan to heat up food in your room, I’d definitely recommend booking an apartment—those come with a microwave, unlike the standard rooms. Getting to the hotel from the train station with luggage isn’t ideal walking uphill, but it’s manageable. A short taxi ride is worth it if you’re carrying heavy bags. The location is excellent whether you're exploring Sochi or just passing through. Overall, this place offers comfort, convenience, and great value—highly recommended for anyone visiting the city.
