The sunniest and perhaps the most beautiful on the Crimean peninsula is the city of Sudak. The Bastion Hotel, located in an unusually convenient location near the sea, at the foot of the mountain, on top of which the ancient Genoese fortress, who lived here 500 years ago, towers, is truly a local attraction. The point here is not so much in the originality of the design of buildings and territory, but in the regalia of this wonderful institution. So, since 2006, in various competitions organized in the spa industry, for example, “Crimean Pearl”, “Resort and Tourism”, “Public Recognition”, “Best of Hotel Complexes”, the venue of which was Crimea, Sudak, Hotel “ Bastion ”has always received awards and diplomas as one of the best in the city and to all of us on the peninsula.
All these high achievements were made possible thanks to the professional work of each hotel employee - from the manager to the maid. Let's take a look at this modern Bastion and see for yourself how good it is.
Location
Hotel "Bastion" (Sudak) is located in Sudak Bay at the very foot of the Fortress Mountain (height - about 160 m). To the sea from the gates of the hotel is 150 meters. Nearby there is a local bazaar, shops, a museum, a marina where you can rent a boat, cafes, bars and, very importantly, a bus stop. Just a few steps from the hotel is a comprehensive medical center where you can get medical advice and medical procedures. Distances to large settlements in the Crimea from the hotel are: to Simferopol - 107 km, to Yalta - 131, to Feodosia - 55, to Alushta - 93, to the Old Crimea, famous for its historical and architectural sights, - 36, to Dzhankoy - 148 km, to Kerch - 153 and to Sevastopol - 180 km. Closest to all, at 7 km (this is a distance many hotel guests walk on foot as a walk), is the New World, a resort village famous for its champagne wines (there is a factory, a tasting room).
Important! The resort hotel "Bastion" (Sudak) is not located in the very center of the city, so neither loud music of discos nor the noise that usually occurs in resorts does not interfere with people sleeping at night. All that can be heard at night by opening a window is the singing of cicadas and the whisper of sea waves.
The mailing address of the hotel is: st. Ushakova, building number 3.
How to get there
An important advantage is the convenient location relative to the traffic intersection, which has a "Bastion" (hotel). Sudak is connected with all large settlements of the peninsula by a good asphalt road. To get to this hotel is simple, the main thing is to get to Simferopol. This is the most convenient starting point, as passenger and fast trains arrive here from all over Russia, and airplanes arrive from many regional centers of the country. Then you can go to the hotel by taxi or by bus. In the summer they go every 15-20 minutes. Tickets are always available at the ticket office of the Kurortnaya bus station, which is a stone's throw from the railway station. Looking for it is simple, the McDonald's restaurant serves as a guide. Travel time is a little over 2 hours. It costs up to 400 rubles per person. A taxi will leave about 2000 rubles per car.
By buses you can reach the hotel from other cities of Crimea, Feodosia, Yevpatoriya, Yalta, Alushta.
Those who wish can book a transfer from the airport or from the railway station of Simferopol.
Territory
In less than a hectare, the designers managed to set up a beautiful garden with flower beds, cypresses and other evergreens, and add a fountain colorful between them, build a decent pool with a bridge and a stone island in the center, arrange five buildings, a sauna, a bar, a restaurant, teahouse, cozy gazebos and parking. Here it is from the outside, the Bastion Hotel (Sudak). Photos of tourists demonstrate how good the area is.
Following the theme of the name, the designers diversified the appearance of the territory by placing a gun there and decorating some corners with antique chains. Plus, the whole territory is guarded 24 hours a day, and in the evening it is beautifully illuminated. The only nuance that not everyone likes: vacationers from the neighboring Lyon hotel can walk and use the pool on the territory.
As noted in the reviews, Wi-Fi decently works almost throughout the hotel.
