“We liked absolutely everything: the proximity to the resort of Rosa Khutor, the infrastructure of the sanatorium GAZprom and the railway station. We went to Sochi and back on the lastochka electric train. This is the most economical way to get around. The fact that the rooms will be heard announcements of the arrival and departure of trains, we knew in advance. But they agreed to this option and never regretted it. Thank you for the warm welcome!” Olga, Russia
