The hotel has exceeded our expectation. We stayed for 8 days in July and found the hotel ok, it's old but the rooms (on 8th floor at least) were newly refurbished and had everything we needed, shower, tv, aircon, fridge. The hotel is a massive concrete structure and has over one thousand rooms, all rooms have balconies with nice view... more

It has an enormous lobby area, coffee bar, 24hr bar, dining room (food very nice) plenty of shops, bars outside, lovely gardens, a long pebbly beach with stalls for drinks etc. The rooms are nice too with huge balconies & a... more

I stayed at the Hotel Yalta from 30 December through to 2 January. I went there specifically for the New Years Eve party they had planned and the trip was a treat for my Ukrainian girlfriend (it was actually her idea to go there). We had a junior suite, which is actually just two room with the dividing door left... more

Well, before taking ths trip someone told me Yalta was the Hawaii of the former Soviet Union. I had no idea they were right. This plce is absolutely amazing. THere is a ton of things to do and culture to expereince in this wonderful city. There is really only one commercialized area (the Boardwalk) and the rest is unspoiled. The... more

This hotel was booked as part of a package to see the Highlights of the Crimea. I had been concerned about what it might be like having read other people'sreviews. Thus it was better than expected- the unrenovated room was a bit like a university hall of residence that I had lived in in the 70s but I had my... more

Yes, the rooms are crap, the service is lousy, the food is crap and you feel like your staying at an airport or a train station, but for those wanting the Soviet Intourist hotel experience this is the hotel for you! No pictures can prepare you for the monstrocity of the hotel you are about to arrive at until you... more

Returned a couple of weeks ago from an excellent walking holiday in the crimea. The hotel used on my package was the Hotel Yalta , an ex Intourist hotel situated about 25 minutes walk down hill from the main Yalta promenade. When i got to the room it immedialtely reminded me of the time i spent on a long weekend... more

I was in Yalta for an entire week for an insurance summit, where approx. 600 people attended. I guess 598 stayed at the "Yalta Intourist", which reminds you of the worst socialist times! 598 stayed here and my colleague an me stayed at the OREANDA Hotel which I relly recommend (read my review on that). Just briefly some comments on... more
