Motel Skazka

There are a few unusual options, which is nice. It was good, just doesn't feel as special as it did a while ago.

After a long drive, this place can be a lifesaver: you can get a room for the night, take a shower, and have some good food. There’s also a decent choice of coffee and drinks. The receptionist was attentive and really helpful, which brightened my day, though the rest of the staff left a lot to be desired. It’s right by a dusty highway, with lots of midges and poplar fluff around.

The food was delicious, and the service was very good, which is what matters most to me in a restaurant. It’s a cozy, welcoming little café, and I’d recommend it to anyone passing through. The main dining room is quite small. There’s a banquet hall too, but I couldn’t see it because an event was underway. The washbasin is awkwardly placed, and the outdoor restroom is the one real drawback.

I paid 1,100 hryvnias for the room, and it felt worth the price. A good deal doesn’t have to be cheap. The room was clean and cozy, and the staff were polite and helpful. They answered my questions and gave me useful advice for the long trip. I also bought a SIM card for calls and data in Ukraine. Five-star hospitality, and a big thank you to the motel owner and staff for all their hard work.
