Nice hotel. Convenient location from the center of Pitsunda, at a leisurely pace of 10 minutes. The sea and the beach are a 3-minute walk from the hotel across the street. The territory of the hotel is large, well-groomed, planting fruit trees, flowers, a kind of alley with benches in the shade of trees. But there is not enough playground and animation, because there are quite a lot of vacationers with children. The food is good according to the buffet system, delicious at home. Among the disadvantages: the suite lacks a kettle and a tea and coffee set. I repeat, there is a great lack of children's animation
I really enjoyed my stay in this wonderful place "Irene"Beautiful territory, delicious food, cheerful and positive atmosphere, sea chic. I definitely want to come back again. Of the disadvantages, we can only note the lack of sun beds and umbrellas for hotel guests, because in similar hotels in Gagra they are already included in the bill and are provided to vacationers for free (both stationary and portable umbrellas), the benefit is that beach towels are provided and on the shore you can hide from the sun for a while under the mighty pines. Well, I probably wish there was more food))) since those who do not fill the queue 15 minutes before, something may not get at all. It probably can't be perfect, but overall everything is fine. I forgot about the lack of Internet in the rooms, you can survive this, but if you are going to work, then in the heat on the territory or in the lobby on a shared sofa it is not very convenient (Internet is only on the territory, but it could be done in the rooms)
We rested several times. The rooms are new and clean, each room has air conditioning, suites have 2 rooms, a large bed, and slippers. There is a cubicle in the bathroom and a hairdryer. In a regular 2-bed room, everything is the same, only the beds are connected and the shower stall is smaller than in the suite. The Internet is only available on the ground floors and in the cafe area. The dining room is a buffet (modest, monotonous), but you will not stay hungry. You can come by car, the hotel has its own fenced area, there is a lot of space. The beach is across the street, there are few vacationers on the beach (the private sector is further away), you can freely lie and swim. We have always seen dolphins from the shore, and once we even swam very close.
The year 2024... I do not recommend going!!!! All the good things that were already in a dead state. We have introduced bracelets for vacationers without them in the dining room is impossible!!! One guard even asks for a bracelet on the premises... It's like we're not vacationers, but prisoners... It would be better to put the rooms in order, the Internet would catch in all rooms, clean curtains and new towels, not washed ones... We won't go any more!
I was vacationing at the Irene Hotel in early August 2024. I really liked the hotel. Clean room, comfortable beds, everything you need. Home cooking, there is always a choice, they cook delicious. The beach is a 3-minute walk away. Well-maintained territory with lots of flowers, fruit trees. In the evening, everything is highlighted very beautifully. There are many benches on the territory. Friendly staff. I would like to wish the hotel to have its own beach and free sun beds and umbrellas. And another minus is that there is no elevator, and the hotel is five storeys high, we lived on the fifth floor. I had to go up and down the stairs 6-8 times a day. It's very inconvenient. But despite this, I will come here again. Thanks to the hotel staff for their excellent work!
This hotel has a very good location, and it is very gratifying that the owners were able to appreciate it and use it wisely. The rooms are very cozy, everything is neat, each room has a balcony - and it is very convenient.
A neatly decorated area with beautiful plants, paths, benches. Good illumination - it's very beautiful at night. In addition to beauty, there is also fragrance.
The staff is attentive and polite. Communication with transport organizations is well organized.
However, there is one urgent wish for the owners and employees of the hotel: to pay attention to their guests not only at the time of booking seats, but right up to their departure. It's just that after vacating the room and before the arrival of the transfer, the guest is no longer interesting to anyone and is left to himself. And we must take care that the transport is not late, so that the waiting for transport is comfortable. Observing this simple rule will greatly enhance the favorable impression that comes from staying in this cool place.
Good afternoon. We rested from August 4 to August 12, 2024.
By the standards of Abkhazia, a wonderful hotel. Good location ( 4 minutes to the sea ) + surrounded by pine and eucalyptus trees . Well-maintained , large , protected area in flowers and fruit trees and shrubs .
Cozy rooms with panoramic views ( we had a view of the mountains ) .
Three delicious meals a day . By the way, you can live in hotels without food.
There are no queues and they are always available ( as soon as the dish is finished, they bring it immediately )
Polite staff .
Cleaning and changing of towels on demand ( I have never been refused )
But there are also disadvantages .
1. The food is delicious, homemade , BUT not varied,A LOT of chicken, chicken every day ( we thought we would start crowing)) in different variations , we ate pork once ( and it was happiness ) or it is in the soup , There was fish ( but pollock ) . At the end of the rest, we had lunch in a cafe outside the hotel.
Please develop a more varied menu )
2. Lack of animation - when I booked the hotel, they said there was animation (which is also included in the price of the tour) upon arrival, it turned out that the animators were fired ( when I gave the rest of the money , for some reason no one took this moment into account ) .
It 's a bit boring in the evenings .
3. The beach.
I agree with the previous comments that there were not enough own sun beds and umbrellas.
4. Mold in the shower (but not critical)
Thank you for a good rest, if we manage to go to Abkhazia again, we will choose Irene again.
We stayed at this hotel for 3 years in a row in 2022/23/24. We liked everything very much. The most beautiful nature around. The room is cozy, everything is clean. They cleaned every day. The food was delicious, homemade. The territory of the hotel is well maintained, very beautiful, conducive to a pleasant stay. Video surveillance on the street and floors. There are umbrellas and sun beds on the beach for a fee. The hotel's beach is sparsely populated. This is a big plus. There are plenty of shops around, 20 minutes to the market, 10 minutes to the center of Pitsunda.
In the last check-in, a pleasant bonus was the courtesy and responsiveness of the administrator Dmitry (an offer to carry a suitcase to the room, friendliness, etc.)
Full-fledged Wi-Fi only on the street, it would be more convenient in the room.
In communicating with vacationers, you will find out that many people come here more than once or twice every year, which means that people really like this particular hotel and despite some of the negative reviews (after all, you will not please everyone), if you yourself came on vacation with a positive attitude, you will definitely have a great rest.
In general, I recommend and thank you for a pleasant stay, next year, if to Abkhazia, then only Irene.
We rested at Irene with our family from 01.07-07.10.2024. We liked the hotel at first glance and were never disappointed! A large well-maintained territory, Pitsunda pine, palm trees, flowers and many fruit trees grow. The room is clean, cleaned daily. The receptionists are very polite and friendly! The food is very tasty, varied, everything is fresh, no restaurant is needed! The sea is a 2-minute walk away, the beach is large, a Pitsunda pine tree grows along the beach. The sea is very clean.!!! Every evening, before sunset, we admired dolphins! Animators work with children every day, and there is a disco in the evenings. Silence at night, only the rustle of the waves is heard! Romance! There are a lot of cafes, shops with a wide range and reasonable prices near the hotel. The territory is guarded, there is Parking. Thanks to all the staff for a wonderful stay!!! We will come back to you and only to you!!!!
We rested with our son for 13 years from 06.06.24 to 11.06.24. In principle, we were satisfied. I'll tell you about the pros and cons:
Pros - the hotel is new, fresh, clean. The rooms are clean, without mold. Very beautiful territory, greenery, palm trees, flowers. There is a nice big shop, restaurant and bakery nearby. The beach is 3 minutes away, clean, not many people. The food is not varied, but very tasty. If you are going on an excursion, then you are given a dry bag.rations, which is very nice. The staff is attentive and pleasant. During breakfast, lunch and dinner, a very nice woman sits next to the dining room, who offers excursions, tells everything, advises, organizes, for which I thank her very much.
In the evenings, we all played mafia - it was fun.
Cons - there is no Wi-Fi in the rooms and in the lobby, which is not very convenient, since after the tour you want to lie in the room and share beautiful photos. In general, Wi-Fi is only on the street (in the yard). The time allotted for breakfast is 1.5 hours from 8:00 to 9:30. Lunch from 13:00 to 14:00, dinner from 18:00 to 19:00. If you gather at 9:00 for breakfast, then you will not be able to eat almost anything, since everything is already ending. It's the same with lunch and dinner. There are not enough places in the catering area. I have to sit down with others. Well, if you want to eat normally, then it's better to go out by 7:50 and take a queue in the dining room. The floor in the rooms is tiled, so it's cold, there are no slippers, so take your own. Take hygiene products with you too, as they practically do not give out anything, only 2 small bags of shower gel and 2 of the same shampoo. This is taking into account the fact that there are 2 people in your room and you have arrived for at least a week. And so we wish you a good rest!
I really want to express my gratitude to the entire staff of the Irene hotel! We are vacationing with my husband at this hotel for the second time and are ready to come here again and again! We like everything here, a sparsely populated beach, a beautiful and well-groomed territory, clean rooms, delicious and varied food. When choosing a variety of hotels, we will return only here, the Irene hotel captivated us at first sight, from the first arrival. At the moment we are resting here and we are afraid to count the days, because we want to prolong this pleasure. I want to wish prosperity to this wonderful hotel, thanks to the administrator Inge, as I had to re-book the numbers, due to the circumstances, and she went to meet me. We will come here again and again!!!
We come here from year to year... This year, the kitchen is 10+ out of 10 points, the rooms have aged, it is clear that this paradise is experiencing an invasion and pilgrimage of vacationers.. The furniture is tired, and so are the mattresses.. But the rooms are clean, there is an indelible blackness in the rooms, which already requires screaming about lighting.., the showers are still holding, but everything is electric... And the kitchen and air conditioning and hot water....
It's a good place. Close to the sea, 5 min. walk through the park. The food is excellent, everything is delicious. The rooms, as they say, are tired. Cleaning is normal, but, as everywhere, after cleaning, long black hair remains on the floor, despite the fact that we are blonde.
The territory is very beautiful, the hotel is also cozy, clean rooms, the food is not bad, the staff is friendly, but there are flaws, the bathroom smells very much of sewage, there are also flaws in the dining room, the tables are not always cleaned, very few fruits although the fruit season, because it's the end of September, as well as the beach part the sea is not well maintained with everyone and there are no means to save people on the water.
A wonderful nostinnitsa by the standards of Abkhazia! We rested for 28 days! Of course, as everywhere else, there are pros and cons. So, the pros: very tasty food, homemade), although monotonous (BUT my little girl ate with pleasure, and there are many cafes around); clean linen; comfortable mattresses and pillows; wonderful staff; clean room, without mold (although they say in other rooms it is); a "private" section of the beach with free umbrellas and paid sun beds; a 3-minute walk to the beach (very calmly); a very beautiful, well-groomed territory with benches and its own summer cafe; some kind of playground ...
Cons: mold in the dining room of the second building!! ; ala-animation, there is no animator this year, to put it mildly, for the whole month we did not wait for a children's animator ( although this is only this year; the sea... there were quite large waves (there are no breakwaters); not so far away the Bzyp River flows into the sea and, if it rained, garbage floats in the sea (sticks, glasses, etc.), respectively, the water is also cooler than in the bay.
By the way, the contingent there is "age-related", families with children or the elderly, and many of them came to Irene 2, 3, 4 and even 5 times!
The best hotel in Pitsunda by the sea,buffet food,the food is very tasty,we ate too much from the heart, the only thing is to be the first to go to the dining room, you will come in later for half an hour there will be little food left,rooms were cleaned every day, the bed was changed every three days,everything is clean and cozy,the staff is polite, everything was very pleasant,we were from June 2 to 12, 2024, with three meals a day, if we go to Abkhazia again, then only to this hotel!!!
We booked two nights with the tour group. Breakfast is included. Buffet, everything is delicious. An excellent complex. A beautiful area between the buildings, with paths, benches, palm trees. Internet Wi-Fi is being distributed, but one evening it slowed down a little. The only thing was that it was possible to provide shampoo and soap not in small bags (which are not enough), but in liquid form with a dispenser, as is already offered in many places. In general, everything is fine!
I visited friends from this hotel. While I was waiting for my friends, I looked around the hotel. At the entrance from the beach there is a convenient faucet with water for washing your feet from the sand. It's a very good and useful thing not to drag sand to your room. The territory is cozy, there are recreation areas where you can sit in the shade. I haven't been to the rooms themselves, but the prices are slightly more expensive than in neighboring mini-hotels. I think the price corresponds to the level of service.
We had a vacation with my husband in June 2024. Among the advantages is a beautiful territory and a great beach within walking distance. The room was like nothing, you can sleep. Now I will write about the disadvantages of this hotel. It was terrible to be in the toilet. The shower stall was leaking, eternal dampness and the stench of sewage and mold. It was not comfortable to take a shower, as the water did not go down the drain well. Cleaning was done every day, but during the 10 days of arrival, towels were changed only once, while the tips that we left were taken without refusal. Now about the dining room. To eat, you need to stand in line and it is not a fact that you will get a place in the dining room since there are few tables for one building. The food is ordinary, you will not stay hungry. This is my opinion about the hotel. But the nature, the sea, the mountains are beautiful here. I will definitely return to Abkhazia, but I will find another hotel.
The hotel is nice and cozy. The rooms are clean, large, and the staff is excellent. The food was very tasty. The territory is gorgeous, with various southern garden trees and flowers. The sea is very close. Thank you for our vacation. Let's go back!!
One of the advantages is the excellent location. Nearby are the ruins of a Roman fortress, markets, shops, cafes, pitsundo-Musser nature reserve. Its own beach, 200 m from the sea. A large, beautifully maintained area. We were settled quickly. Rooms without frills. There was a room with two balconies, none had a clothes dryer, no ropes, no table, no chairs. The room was cleaned. Shampoos, gels in a one-time version upon check-in. It is unclear why they are needed at all, you still have to buy them. The floor is tiled, in June it was cold and unpleasant to walk on it. They did not find the claimed slippers, they asked at the reception, they initially refused us, then they brought them anyway. The owners are clearly saving on food. It would be possible to take it without food - this is the best option. Tasteless, not diverse. The only thing that saved us was the 2xl cafe, located across the street. There's some yummy stuff in there. Elementary, even the compote is the same. Is it really impossible to buy dried fruits, rosehip, Feihua, tangerines. In Abkhazia, it's all for free, to somehow diversify the menu. No baking, nothing at all. Of course, I would put up with it if the hotel put up the price tag as an economy, but the price for it is under 200 thousand for 3 for 7 nights. Somehow this price must be matched. The dining room is in a terrible smelly basement, well, make a summer porch outside in the summer, everything will be more pleasant. There are no salt and pepper shakers on the tables. Is that how it is? There is no desire to return to this hotel. The territory is large, put sun loungers, let people lie down to rest, even in cheaper hotels it is, and here they are on the beach for a fee of 200 rubles per person. In general, the management still needs to work and work.The guests are here on their own, no one from the staff smiles or greets you.
Great place, nice rooms. The food is delicious and the sea is nearby through the pine forest for 5 minutes
. At night you can light a bonfire on the beach and drink a bottle of wine - preferably 2. After that, you want to fall asleep on the beach - take bedding and blankets, it's cool and the sex is good.
Everything is almost perfect, delicious food, the room is cleaned, the room itself is not bad, the staff is friendly, very interesting entertainment, a good beach, the territory itself is good. But there are also nuances. For 6 days they gave 2 shampoos and 2 shower gels, there are few places in the dining room, Wi-Fi does not reach the room. As it is, everything is fine)
Hotel "Irene" period 06/04/2024-06/11/2024.
I will try to explain all the pros and cons of staying at the hotel as adequately as possible))
Location:
It is located 40-45 minutes from the border. At least we took a taxi for 40 minutes. Two buildings, a view from the windows to the garden, to the mountains, to the neighboring building. Excellent well-groomed and illuminated area. Its access to the beach, which is across the street in a three-minute walk. There is a parking lot. We did not use it, but the neighbors said that the cost is 100-200 rubles. Per day.
The hotel's website states that the price includes the use of its own beach and its equipment, BUT we arrived, as it turned out, out of season. For them, summer begins in July, as it turned out. We were surprised to see an ordinary wild beach, like everyone else's. And it was only on the last day of his arrival that he was assembled: they put a locker room, a shower, umbrellas and laid decking for walking. We were lucky to get only beach towels. By the way, like other towels, they must be changed on the 4th day of arrival, which we only found out about when we ourselves asked to replace them.
Number:
As I wrote above, we did not arrive in the "season". That's why we had the opportunity to choose a better room. But better is the presence of one or two small balconies, well, apparently, and the view. We had room 46 on the 4th floor. With two balconies. From one there is a view of the mountains, from the other there is a view of another building. There are ropes and clothespins on the balconies for drying. The hotel room is very "tired" and the furniture and especially the bathroom. There is a tiny refrigerator in the room, as well as a small TV. There were two beds connected into one. In principle, they are more or less convenient. A big plus is the snow-white linen. For me personally, the bathroom was a nightmare, I am very squeamish, everything is stripped, barely alive plumbing, the shower cabin is all in mold and there are gaps between the panels, I had to pour water on myself in the direction of the wall so as not to fill the entire floor. My husband could hardly fit in there at all. And this smell.... The cleaning was daily, but light. Just a vacuum cleaner and a toilet paper replacement. Although after three days they stopped reporting her. My husband had to approach, they gave him without question.
After about eight in the evening, mosquitoes fly into the room, we had a fumigator, but somehow it did not work on them. I had to close the windows and turn on the air conditioner.
There are no elevators in the hotel. So if you have health problems (there were elderly neighbors watching), then it's better to choose the first floor, apparently. It wasn't a problem for us.
Staff:
Very polite and helpful girls at the reception. Yes, in principle, all the staff were ready to help. Thank you.
Internet:
I would like to write that it was not from the word at all. It hurt. But of course I'll lie. There was Wi-Fi, BUT it was not in the rooms, they could hardly catch the messages while standing on the balcony. The connection between the periods was better in the hall and in the garden. In general, if it was necessary to communicate with someone urgently, then we had to go down to the street. It seems to me that this is not normal.
Food:
When choosing a hotel, we read reviews on this topic and were prepared for the worst. But the food turned out to be very tasty, homemade. You could always choose what you love. Very tasty pastries, the rest of the guests were of the same opinion. Only the process is a little unorganized. A small period of time (for example, breakfast from 8-9 and lunch from 13-14.00) and when there are a lot of people, they cannot all be accommodated at once, since the room is small. So people will be able to eat everything in two stages. Food is reported, no one goes hungry. Otherwise, many of the reviews were read, they came before the opening and tried to get food on the run, and suddenly they wouldn't get it. This is complete nonsense. Everyone will be fed. Rations were given out before the excursions. Check the details of the issue at the reception
Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but due to some details that are important to us personally, we will most likely not return to this hotel.
It's a very good hotel.If you look at the assessment, then a very solid C-plus, I put a 4 out of five.
In fact: the interior is clean, but without pathos and high cost. Therefore, those who are used to relaxing in expensive hotels, wetting their ass in Turkey with 5 stars, you will miss it.
The air conditioner was working at the entrance, which turned out to be just right after the road. The room has a TV, mini fridge, air conditioning, hair dryer, small balcony. The garbage is taken out every day, if you need to clean up, you just lift your tanned ass and talk about it. They'll do the cleaning. Also with bed linen, it is necessary, he said, it was replaced. No one here is going to run around every day and make you whores out of blankets. There are towels and a toilet on the floors. It is necessary, he came up and took it.
It is better to take a view of the mountains. Since the mountains are clearly visible, but the sea is almost invisible because of the trees.
The territory of the hotel is good, various fruit trees, palm trees grow, there are benches, lighting in the evening. Kiski are running around, and they are happy to feed from tourists.
There is no elevator! Take a room no higher than the 3rd floor. We lived on the 5th floor , and it was hard to climb. And do not run into the room if something happens quickly.
There is a paid laundry service on site. 1kg of stuff = 300p.
Food : there is no buffet. For breakfast, sausages, sausage, cheese, pancakes, cottage cheese, milk soup, sour cream. Meat dishes for lunch and dinner. Usually it is baked chicken, potatoes mixed with meat, a side dish like rice or puree, two types of soup, a salad of vegetables. Tea, cheap instant coffee, found compote. In general, people eat, they don't get poisoned. Those who have little money will not stay hungry. There is a shop next to the hotel, there is little choice, but there is also a snack.
For connoisseurs of delicious food, there is a mini restaurant on site. This place is a real find. Go there without hesitation. The portions are large, the dishes are beautifully served, the food is very tasty. I will note cocktails separately. Take the breeze right away. Bruschetta with a pear is necessarily just for a cocktail. Lick your fingers. The bartenders are polite, they know the menu, they are always friendly. We went into it on the first day, so we ate the whole vacation in it.
The sea is a three-minute walk away. As always in Abkhazia, it is clean and beautiful. Sunsets are simply magical
In general, the golden mean. We have not regretted and would not refuse to come here again.
a great hotel with a good bar. The territory is huge and well maintained. The beach is magnificent, the sea is clean. The pines are just space. I will definitely come back. The hosts are hospitable.
The main advantage of the hotel is its proximity to the sea. No more than a 10-minute walk through the hotel and the Pitsunda pine grove. A beach with small pebbles. General. Umbrellas and sun loungers can be rented for a fee. The sea this year was exceptionally warm, clean and calm. The room was spacious, with two balconies. Therefore, the air conditioner was not particularly needed. The maid cleaned every day. Towels and bed linen were changed. By the way, beach towels were also in the room. The food leaves much to be desired. Monotonous. There were constantly not enough clean dishes. I was scolded for bringing out a cup of tea for a sick friend. I defiantly returned this cup. And there are also difficulties with the Internet. It is not in the rooms, only on the main alley.
Suitable for a relaxing family holiday.
The room stock is normal, not tired. There is a small on-site parking for a reasonable fee of 100 rubles/day. There is also an outdoor cafe, a small playground. The territory is green, the plants are being watched. In general, it's beautiful. The sea is close, the hotel's beach is equipped with sun loungers and umbrellas, rent 200 rubles / day for each. There are also free umbrellas. There is a grocery store nearby, shops with fruits and vegetables. The staff is friendly and polite. Visited in July 2023. The maids are responsive. There is an ironing board and an iron in the halls. The rooms are equipped with air conditioning, hair dryers and small TVs, refrigerators. The kitchen staff are diligent and courteous. The buffet is quite varied, everything is delicious, there are fruits. I would like to have more choice of cold drinks. From the wishes of the administration: to monitor the condition of the drainage holes of the balconies of the rooms in order to eliminate the risks of flooding of the balconies and the rooms themselves then in heavy rains. Overall, the hotel left a favorable impression of itself
We rest from 01.07 to 14.07. together with my son, 11 years old. We live in the second building, 5th floor, standard room. It's my first time in Abkhazia, I really like it, it's warm, clean and very beautiful here. The advantages of the hotel, it seems to me, is a beautiful, well-groomed territory, there are palm trees, pomegranate magnolias, roses bloom, there are many places for beautiful photos and relaxing in the shade of trees. There are a lot of benches, well-made and beautiful. There is also a cafe - veranda on the territory, the menu is varied, but not cheap. The standard room corresponds to the photo from the description. But the furniture is not Soviet. Bed linen is changed, towels are provided and beach towels too. They are cleaned regularly.
The dining room for each building is on the ground floor. The menu is like in the dining room, I'm not moody, and I immediately set up that I'm not in Turkey. For breakfast there are 2 types of milk porridge, cottage cheese, fruits (banana, orange, apple) cheese, sausage, ham, small donuts, cottage cheese casserole, sausages, buckwheat, small cutlets, cucumbers, tomatoes. Tea bags, instant coffee. For lunch there are 2 soups, 2 types of meat, salads (olivier, mimosa, herring under a fur coat), for dinner about as for lunch. Many children are naughty, after all, this is not mom's food. It is very convenient and pleasant to walk to the beach, just 2 minutes through the pine forest. No one goes to the toilet here and does not throw garbage! The beach is clean. About the hotel, I also want to say that families come here, behave quietly, decently, very pleasantly.
The peculiarity is that the audibility is really very good. I read the reviews and stocked up on a kettle, a fumigator and a power bank (for a while the electricity was cut off due to repairs, but not at the hotel, but somewhere in the area). There is a shop next to the hotel, local SIM cards, groceries, household chemicals are sold, there is also a tent with fruits, inflatable circles. Take the coral slippers!!! The beach is pebbly, it is very difficult without them. You can buy it here. In general, I am happy, as I initially correctly and adequately tuned in to this vacation. I wish you all a pleasant vacation!
We had a rest in August 2024. The only advantage is the proximity to the beach. However, in this place there is a beach with large stones. Umbrellas and sun beds are paid for 200 rubles.
Number. There's black mold in the shower. Apart from the bed, wardrobe and table, the only furniture is a chair. There are no chairs on the balcony. A strange smell. Of course, there is no question of any design. The mattresses are hard. The buffet is served in the basement, there are not enough tables. The menu consists of two salads, two main courses. Chicken and cheap fish, sometimes pork. But it is not poorly cooked, as they say, at home. These are two buildings with five floors without an elevator! There's a road on both sides, so it's a bit noisy. A 20-minute walk to the center.
The nature of Abkhazia is 5+ as usual. I ordered a 2-room suite: there is black mold in the shower cabin, the staff is especially different, who asked every time whether the room needed to be cleaned or not... why did my mouth open in surprise: bring a bucket of garbage (to the entrance), I'll take the garbage. The buffet is "lame"-the choice is meager, the food is not heated, there is a large shortage of teaspoons. I was disappointed only by the hotel, the sea, the Pitsunda pine - everything is on top. We drove from Adler Airport to the hotel by transfer for about 4 hours, stopping at hotels along the way and dropping off passengers. It is better to take a taxi in 1 hour. It turned out to be such a vacation, but I'm still happy.
The rooms are dirty, parking is paid, although it is declared as free. The food is quite good, but there is a queue in the dining room. There are not enough tables and dishes, if you do not have time for the first visit, then most likely you will not get something, but you will not stay hungry. Wi-Fi does not catch in the rooms, you have to go out on the territory. The age of vacationers is 55+ (September 2024), but in summer there may be more young people. Plus, only in proximity to the sea, there are many more disadvantages. For children from entertainment, there is an unfenced trampoline, a Soviet carousel and a tennis table with broken rackets. Naturally, there is no private beach, but there are umbrellas and sun beds from the hotel, but they are paid.We won't go back there anymore. And with all this, their price tag is not much lower than the better hotels.
The sea is 3 minutes away. The store with good drinks and stuff is across the street.
In the evening there is live music on the beach in the cafe "Argo". Atmospheric cafes, sea view. In the hotel "Irene" everything is basically fine. The management is not worried. Linen and towels are changed on the 4th day, we just made them change to the 5th. Cleaned in any way. The toilet smells, mold in the shower. They have already given up, there was enough butting with underwear. The territory is large, in summer you can make sun loungers and a summer veranda for the dining room. And then you go to some kind of basement. At first, the crowd was hungry, so after 40 minutes they went. The main plus is the sea nearby, the hotel is fresh, the air is clean.
We had a rest at the end of May - beginning of June 2024. We took a separate house. The house has two rooms, a refrigerator, air conditioning, a kettle, three glasses and a decanter, a small set of dishes for three people, a TV, terry white bathrobes, disposable slippers, a dental hygiene kit, gel and shampoo. The house has a large double bed, a large pull-out sofa. The hotel has a large well-groomed territory, there are places to relax, the cuisine is delicious. We were full, we didn't even want to go to the cafe). One disadvantage is that the food is in the basements, there are few tables, you have to queue outside to eat. There is an outdoor veranda - restaurant on the territory, but we did not manage to sit in it, it had not yet been opened by our departure. The hotel is within walking distance to the infrastructure of the city of Pitsunda.
Everything is fine.the sea is close, the staff is polite and attentive, the food is good, everything is delicious and fresh, the rooms are tidy, but I wanted it to be cleaner.
The sea is gorgeous, the nature is wonderful, Abkhazia is a country of the soul! But unfortunately, this is not the merit of Irene's hotel. One of the advantages is a large, very beautiful and well-maintained territory. The sea is within walking distance. The rooms have old furniture, the TV shows 2 channels, and they are constantly hanging. No sound insulation. There is a very strong smell of sewage in the bathroom. There's mold all over the shower stall. Room cleaning on request.Wi-Fi is only available at the entrance to the hotel. Of course, you will say that you can ignore this, but enjoy the beautiful sea. Yes! But for 11,000 for a Standard room, I want more service. Food. If you come to the beginning of the meal, the crowd will simply demolish you. If you come in 30 minutes, then you have already dared to eat delicious food. There are empty trays. When asked to replenish these trays, they reply that they have already eaten everything!!!! Who didn't make it, he was late! For a week of stay, day in, day out, everything is the same. The cheapest products. And when I hear or read in the reviews that they are fed at home, I am shocked. People, if that's how you eat at home, then no comment! No, of course you won't starve! The sea is wonderful! Umbrellas are available on the beach. 16 grand for such a big hotel. Therefore, it is very difficult to find a free umbrella at 7 a.m. They put extra ones on, we were very happy! But it's early. If you want to relax comfortably, pay 200 rubles for these umbrellas.Plus paid deck chairs - 200 rubles. Everything is for hotel guests! Of course, these are small things, you can lie on a towel!!! Beach mats in the 1st building were not given. The admin girls were very surprised. Rudeness is their calling card! For such money and such a service, I do not recommend it! There are a lot of options where the service is at a completely different level. And the sea and nature are beautiful in all of Abkhazia!
We stayed at this hotel last year.
The price is completely out of line with the service.
The location is certainly good.
The beach, which is located across the street from the hotel, is a horror. Translucent umbrellas that don't really protect from the sun are terribly dirty. We spent the whole vacation going to the beach, where there is a cypress alley (wooden sun beds, a roof made of straw on top, very comfortable and unusual for Abkhazia. The food in the hotel is disgusting, monotonous. You need to come to the beginning of breakfast, lunch or dinner, this is in order to have time to take something from the food, but it is not a fact that there is enough space, there is a chance to stand in line, and if you come later, then there is no choice from the food. The question is why we pay over 90,000 rubles for 8 nights of rest (2 adults + a child). The animation for children is just disgusting, the girl in the costume, which is constantly dirty, the program is boring. There is no Wi-Fi in the room at all, to use the Internet, you need to go downstairs. In the evenings, this can be easily checked by tourists who are sitting on benches outside the hotel. the beds in the rooms are dirty (they are covered with light fabric).curtains too. If you are really considering this option, study the reviews of this hotel most carefully. They have a consumer attitude towards us and a complete lack of service
I don't know who writes bad reviews...On my own, I will say that we liked the hotel!!!
1) The hotel grounds are just great!It is clean, cozy, there are many benches where you can sit and relax, there is animation for children and a place to put the car, and another important plus is to walk 2-3 minutes to the sea!
The hotel has its own beach with cool sun beds and umbrellas and by the way it's clean
2) The hotel itself is clean and smells nice, the girls at the reception are all smart, if they asked questions, they answered us politely, someone is not writing friendly?!So maybe you're being unpleasant yourself?😀we had a standard room,generally normal,cleaned at our request,the only thing is the lack of mosquito nets becomes a problem, since mosquitoes are just terrible 😀but this is the problem of all hotels
3) Who didn't have enough food there?!we just ate too much 😅you can eat for every taste, as they say, the question is in the people themselves, who fill plates full of greed and do not eat half, well, how else, it's paid 😀😀😀the boys who work in the dining room are attentive, if something is missing, inform, well, or you can come up and to ask, a couple of times we went on excursions and we were given dry rations for lunch, in the form of sandwiches and fruits
By the way, we liked Pitsunda much more than Gagra and it is much cleaner there, there are some disadvantages like everywhere else, but when you go on vacation in a good mood, then all this seems nonsense☺️in general, guys are having fun and get high!!!
Rested from 06/11/2013-06/20/2013
We had a rest in June 2024. I really liked the quiet location of the hotel. The sea is 5 min walk through a beautiful grove. The staff is excellent, the receptionists are polite. The dining room is just great!!!
I was there in 2018, everything is great except the ascent to the 5th floor. The food was delicious and the beach is very close. I don't know how it is now.
For those who like a quiet beach holiday, I highly recommend it. Excellent green area, quiet cozy corner of Pitsunda. The sea is beyond the pine reserve. After walking a hundred meters under the centuries-old eucalyptus and pine trees, you find yourself on a beach equipped with umbrellas. Of the disadvantages, only Wi-Fi: it does not pull in the rooms, but it is good at the reception, which is also a minus. Receptionist girls poke at gadgets without looking up (
Positive:
The location of the hotel is excellent. It's quiet, the sea is nearby.
Well-maintained territory. There is a lot of greenery both on the territory of the hotel and around it.
Beach. Spacious. There are umbrellas (free for hotel guests), sun beds (150 rub), shower, locker room. The hotel provides beach towels and soft beach mats.
Meal. It's delicious at home. Lots of meat, fruits. You won't stay hungry.
Minuses:
Terrible room cleaning. The plumbing is in poor condition and it is not washed. We have never been washed in 11 days of our stay. Linen and towels have never been changed. The floors are not washed, but wiped with a damp mop, on the last day of our stay they did not even do that.
The staff is not all friendly. The girl at the reception in the first building is always not happy and is not verbose.
Strong audibility in the rooms. You can hear any bee in the next room.
I had a rest in August 2022.
The hotel administration should pay attention to room cleaning.
We had a rest with my wife in the period 07.07.24 to 07/25.24. For the first time I am writing a review about something, but the impressions of this vacation prompted me to share my impressions. Moreover, they came to Irene for the fourth time, although after a six-year break.
The sea, the air, the magnificent pines, the boxwood remained of the good.
The Irene Hotel was very disappointing. For 5,500 per day per person, you will receive an "Uzbek" service. The main service personnel are Uzbeks.
Impressions began to form from the meeting and registration by the administrator. It turns out that for the "guests" they introduced the wearing of a plastic (non-removable, disposable) bracelet. The need to wear it was explained by the fact that strangers (!) go to the dining room. There was an announcement (photo) at the reception desk where a fine was provided for the absence of a bracelet. When asked about the amount of the fine, the answer was: "at the discretion of the director (owner)." The next question I asked was what would happen if we could not pay for the director's wish remained unanswered, but the administrator referred to the fact that 5-star hotels in Sochi also have such a rule (it is the only one).
The food in the dining room is in the Uzbek manner, fatty without any seasonings, but with a lot of cumin. The food is monotonous, two menus that alternate each other. There was no slicing of vegetables, it could rather be called "chopping". Unlike slicing fruits (apples, pears, oranges), baking and casseroles. This is the first time I've seen such a cut (in the photo). Catering, which is declared as a buffet, is more like self-service in a scoop canteen. You need to clean up the dishes, the tables are not wiped.
I will describe the condition of the room. The furniture was originally not of the best quality and is now pretty worn out. The walls in the room are periodically tinted, but not the entire wall, but stripes, so they are two and three stripes. But even the tinting does not hide the spots on them. The toilet stinks of sewage all the time. The shower stall is in terrible mold. Black mold is everywhere on the tile seams, around the sink (pictured). One night it started to rain. The room had two balconies. When I woke up at night, I found that the floor was flooded with water. The reason is that the drainage holes on the balconies are clogged and as a result the water in the room. In addition, water flowed through a detachable box in the wall, which posed a risk of short circuit. By the way, the electrician never came to check. There is no need to talk about the cleanliness of curtains and curtains. Change of linen according to the principle: either we will replace it or we will replace it when you remind us that it's time to replace it.
The maintenance of the territory. The plantings are pleasing to the eye. But if you compare it with previous visits, there are fewer colors. Cleaning is extremely irregular. Example: traces of blivotine in front of the entrance to the building have not been removed for three days (photo).
The beach called "Irene" beach is actually a public area on which 20 umbrellas are installed and several wooden decking is laid. The cost of an umbrella is 200 rubles., a sunbed is 200 rubles. There is no cleaning service. The passage to the beach and the beach itself is littered. No one is responsible for security. There are no buoys, lifeguards, and rescue equipment on the water. There are no warnings about the danger of sea waves for swimming.
A great place for a family holiday with children! The service is about as solid as 3* in Turkey, BUT! This is a great progress for Abkhazia! Excellent location, its own clean beach with umbrellas (free of charge) and sun beds (150rubles Per day) about 200 meters away, clean well-groomed territory with palm trees, thuja junipers, flowers, lawns) which are continuously cared for) they cut it and water it) We stayed in the second building in a standard room. The rooms are clean, the furniture is decent, the beds are comfortable, the linen is snow-white (changed every 5 days) all linen and beach towels as in Turkey) Room cleaning daily. The food is decent. Of course, not 100,500 dishes, but you definitely won't stay hungry) The staff is friendly. Wi-fi on the ground floors or in the cafe area is stable, but not always) A cafe on the territory with a good barbecue, very tasty trout, lamb on coals! There is a playground, a ping pong table, a children's trampoline. There is no pool, but it is not needed! The sea is simply gorgeous) the purest water, a relict grove, magnificent smells of pine needles and eucalyptus! The big plus of the hotel is the animation! Girls are smart! In the morning, exercises on the beach for everyone, classes with children in the playground area at lunch, and a mandatory disco for kids in the evening! We liked the rest in this hotel) we are pleasantly surprised that the service in Abkhazia is still there) (well, if you compare it with the defense industry of Pitsunda, then heaven and earth! Where the service is definitely missing!) We will definitely return to this hotel! Thank you very much to the hotel management and staff, it is clear that you are trying! I wish you not to stop there!
The hotel is great. With children, with a long vacation, M. B. is boring.
Positive:Clean rooms, well-maintained territory, there is a bar, table tennis, trampoline, playground, board games, dancing area, toilet. Everything is included in the price.
In the room:The floor is tiled everywhere. For 3 family members, a folding bed, a hair dryer, separate shower and beach towels, mattresses for sun beds, shampoo and gel, TV, air conditioning, refrigerator.
The food is a Swiss table. The choice is minimal. Breakfast: cereals, 2 porridges, omelette or var. eggs, sausages, fruits, vegetables, pastries. For lunch: 2 soups, 2 side dishes, 2 meat dishes, 2 vegetable salads, 2 compotes, tea, coffee (solution.) dinner similarly without soups. If you want local cuisine, excellent khachipuri is prepared at the bar.
The beach is pebbly, in the heat you can hide in a pine forest or in a cafe on the beach, there is a swing on the slings. Well, the sea .....!!!!!! We got the most amazing photos and impressions from the gorgeous surf and swimming. The absence of numerous heads of vacationers on the beach made amazing shots of the sea waves!
Cons: the lack of a kettle in the rooms, an elevator (the hotel has 5 floors), paid sun beds, weak animation. If you will be in Abkhazia for a couple of days + excursions, I recommend it!
The hotel itself is a solid four. Meals and cleaning are all available. the beach at the hotel is not very big, there are often big waves, children could not swim + paid sun beds and umbrellas, probably like in Abkhazia.
We had a family vacation with children in June 2023. We enjoyed our stay very much, from the hotel. The food is delicious and quite varied, the rooms were cleaned, the garbage was taken out daily, and the linen and towels were changed 1 time per week of rest. The territory of the hotel is gorgeous, blooming, smelling! There are benches, wicker furniture under umbrellas at the mini bar. The beach is 2 minutes away. walking. The beach is equipped with umbrellas, if desired, you can buy a chaise longue, but at the same time there are beds in each room that are already included in the room rate. Our family is very happy with the hotel!
We rested at the Irene Hotel from 08/17/2023 to 08/30/2023.
Positive: the beautiful territory of the hotel, the good location of the hotel, the sea is 5 minutes away, the food is delicious (but it's the same every day). The rooms have daily garbage collection and mopping, linen change every 4 days, the maid is polite and friendly.
Cons: the reception staff is reluctant to communicate, the senior administrator allows himself to talk with disdain, does not solve any questions. The rooms are terrible (mold, sewer smell, old furniture), tiles on the floor, no carpets. The pillows are old, there are lumps inside, it's uncomfortable to sleep. In an additional place, the mattresses are old, thin, lumpy, and the cots are old. The Internet is only available on site. There is mold and flies in the dining room. There is no children's animation, animators are reluctant to communicate with children (they do not smile, they have a dissatisfied expression all the time, they talk through their teeth), they are busy with themselves all day, they do not work according to the program (it is unclear why it is compiled and what people get paid for?). The discrepancy between price and quality.
We have been vacationing in Abkhazia for the fifth year in a row. Pine grove, Apartments in Gagra, Musser and the last two times in Irene, i.e. there is something to compare with. Irene liked everything so much last year that we decided to return here this year. Especially for this, at the end of January, we booked a cottage.
The location of the hotel is fantastic. If you go to the sea, it takes 2-3 minutes to cross a strip of ancient, very beautiful forest. There are significantly fewer people on the beach itself, if you look further in the direction of the center of Pitsunda. It is also very close to the center, within walking distance of various shops and cafes. The territory of the hotel is also very carefully monitored, everything is very clean and beautiful.
This year, the owner of Irene completed the cafe. Apparently, for this reason, only one memory remains of the beautiful dining room. The food this year was TERRIBLE compared to last year. Everything is very monotonous and with little choice. Of course, you will not stay hungry :-), there is always rice, potatoes or buckwheat... but for 260,000 rubles. for four (two children) in 12 days, I would like to get a different service. I could paint here in colors what soups or salads consisting of 20% mayonnaise were offered to vacationers, but I probably won't do it, it's disgusting to remember. Dishes are washed poorly when they took forks or spoons, they repeatedly came across dirty ones. Yes... and is it really difficult to put an ordinary salt shaker on the table ???
This year, light outages have been added, which means that you will not have water for some time after turning on the light. We have never encountered this before.
In general, Abkhazia has been very disappointing this year. Absolutely nothing is being done in terms of infrastructure, except that new rental housing and cafes are being built. Prices have increased, and the quality of service and services provided has remained at the same level, and in some places it has become even worse. I think if everything continues to develop in this way, they will not be able to leave the sea and nature alone.
Good food, the sea is close to the hotel, clean sea, a small number of people when compared with the Krasnodar coast. The disadvantages are poor Internet and outdated room stock
A wonderful place, the best vacation was here!!! Starting from the very beginning: the accommodation is fast, they gave the room right away, despite the early arrival, the administration is very friendly! We were worried that we would get the upper floors (and my parents are not so young to run to the 5th floor), they pre-empted the 1st floor without any requests, for which special thanks! The hotel is excellent clean, the territory is beautiful and large, walking distance to the sea through the forest, which is a special charm!!! The animation is very fun for children, it's just a delight! The food is also a special thank you🙏💕 everything is very tasty, a lot to choose from, not greasy, excellent! The beach is quiet, sparsely populated, a dream!!!!
I don't understand the bad reviews, so I decided to write in detail!!! My parents are delighted, the child is immensely happy! Thank you very much 🙏💕
