There are a lot of people who still do not know what an ecotel is. A similar concept in our country is not yet very common. In fact, this is a small hotel category "economy". Today, this type of accommodation on vacation is gradually becoming a worthy alternative to large hotels that have become familiar to tourists, in which the cost of a room can range from fifty to one hundred dollars per day. Such accommodation, especially in times of crisis, is far from acceptable to everyone. The prices at the ecotel are significantly lower, and they are provided due to the most rational service and the availability of a smaller staff.
Features
In addition to low cost, residents have the opportunity to appreciate the home-like atmosphere, as well as an individual approach to each tourist, which is a rarity in a large hotel. Moreover, not everyone loves a hotel, restaurant, casino or night club. And in such cases, the most optimal solution becomes the choice of a small ecotel, isolated from noise and fuss. I must say that this vacation is perfect for families with young children or the elderly. To summarize all of the above, the following conclusion can be made: Ecotel is an excellent choice for those who first of all appreciate the level of hotel service and home comfort, as well as for those who, wanting to save money, seek to get maximum comfort.
The services provided here, as a rule, do not qualify for stardom. However, in terms of service and comfort, almost all existing ecotels meet generally recognized hotel standards, and in some cases even surpass them. As a rule, the housing stock in them does not exceed fifty - seventy rooms. And the comfort and service of such establishments are comparable only with the format of 4 or 5 stars. The Ecotel Snegirek, located in the Moscow Region, has all these indisputable advantages.
Location
A wonderful complex consisting of a hotel and sports and entertainment facilities is an excellent solution for those who travel outside the city for several days. In an ecologically clean natural corner of the Moscow Region, the Snegirek Ecotel (Istra) is located. Once upon a time, this area was covered by dense pine and spruce forests. For many, this "European taiga" becomes a zone of relaxation and carefree enjoyment. Ecotel “Snegirek”, whose photo is a complete confirmation of what was said, has recently become very popular among vacationers. It is believed that the local climate is very favorable not only for recreation, but also for treatment. The surroundings of the complex are one of the most picturesque in the suburbs.
