An excellent hotel by Abkhazian standards. The main thing is the location in a part of the Pitsunda Nature Reserve among pines and firs. 700 meters to the sea in the park - it's a pleasure to walk even in the heat. The hotel itself is quite new, equipped with everything necessary
The location is excellent, in the center, the breakfasts are about nothing, monotonous and not tasty. The TV was broken in the room, it was replaced, there was one outlet for a phone, a refrigerator and a kettle, I had to choose). The handles on the doors are low, you have to bend down, for dwarves). The Wi-Fi is very bad. We didn't like the hotel.
We were in July, breakfast meals, monotonous get boring, it would be better to take them without food. A double room with a balcony, on the third floor, overlooked the Kiaraz Arena and a courtyard with a creaking swing. The room smelled a little damp, but there was a mosquito net on the window and we were airing all the time. The location is convenient right in the center near the temple, 10-15 minutes walk to the sea (depending on which beach) there were a lot of people in the mud of 2022, they went to remote beaches towards the Irene hotel. I will not go here a second time, Pitsunda is good, but for those who do not like to travel around the country, and sit in one place forever, or who drive their own car.
We lived on the top floor, it's very hot, the air conditioner can't cope, a lot of mosquitoes without fumitox won't get enough sleep, they'll eat!!!. Good breakfasts and friendly chefs!
The location is GREAT! THE CENTER and the beach along the cypress grove. You can suffocate from excess oxygen. Birdsong in the morning.
The room is clean. Economy. The breakfasts are standard, without abundance. We are not picky people, everything was fine. The price tag is of course a little too high. For 5 rubles. Although it's cheaper now, you can only stay in Bobik's booth
A good hotel, lots of greenery, coniferous trees around, the staff is polite, cleaned almost every day. I also liked the breakfasts, delicious porridges, like homemade ones. The only thing that was missing was that the meals were in the hotel itself and lunches and dinners, not only breakfasts. A 10-minute walk from the hotel there is a sea, here it has a very inconvenient entrance and exit, large pebbles, you somehow get out of the water without slippers.
Nice hotel. The only thing I don't like is the noise from the road. Apparently there is a segment where everyone accelerates (( it is necessary to put a speed bump.
We stayed at this hotel in 104 rooms in September 2022 (in a 3-storey building) On the first floor. The room smells musty, even with the window open. There was no light bulb in the bedside lamp. The room has never been cleaned in 5 days, despite the fact that they hung a sign asking to be removed on the door handle. When the spouse asked to take a roll of toilet paper from the hallway, the receptionist said that when the room was cleaned, they would bring paper. But the room was never cleaned, so we had to buy toilet paper ourselves. There is a clothes dryer in the room, it is rusty - everything is spoiled and cannot be washed, rust is not removed. Breakfasts are not tasty, only carbohydrates, instant coffee. There is black mold in the corners of the shower stall. In general, I do not recommend this hotel.

Breakfasts are not tasty, only carbohydrates, instant coffee. There is black mold in the corners of the shower stall. In general, I do not recommend this hotel.
Staff with ambitions, booked through the island for 2 days, but stayed in Sukhum, also rebooked through the island for one day. We were checked into the hotel and after checking in, they extorted money for the day that we did not live there. We have a good correspondence with the island about the postponement of dates. In general, they spoiled the mood and took away an hour of precious holiday time. I liked the breakfast, the chefs are friendly and the food is delicious.
A completely normal hotel for Abkhazia. There are pros and cons. Let's start with the pros!
1) Location right in the grove. He breathes well and sleeps well. It's not that far to the sea. 10 minutes on foot
2) Quite decent staff, video surveillance. I think they put it on after they robbed the undersigned vacationers there. There is always a person at the reception during the day, and a security guard is sitting in the evening.
3) The dining room is not bad with a modest breakfast. Tea, coffee, jam, scrambled eggs or omelet, pancakes, butter, cheese. Very modest, but quite passable.
4) There is everything necessary in the room, a safe, air conditioning, toilet paper, plates and glasses. They also put a cot for the baby.
Well, now the cons!
1) Old furniture, the bed creaks
2) It is very noisy at night, as the horsemen begin to drift in the square, shout, fight, etc. The first three nights they did not sleep at all, they asked us to overpower us to a room with windows on the courtyard. And it got better)
3) There were always queues in the dining room, there is no distance here, the Abkhazians have not been notified about covid. They posted a queue on Instagram, and immediately the cooks were brought help in the form of maids. It was enough for a couple of days, then there were queues again. And all this is due to the nearby large Kiyaraz arena hotel, from which they also come here for breakfast.
In my opinion, the best place to relax on the cape. The price corresponds to the quality of the services. I rested in it for 2 weeks, the service is at the level. There are breakfasts. In room 304, you need to check the air conditioner, the thermostat is not working, it is cold to victory, after two nights under it, I got sick(
The rooms are spacious and cozy. A comfortable bed. Cleaning and change of linen/towels are regular. It fully corresponds to three stars. The breakfasts are delicious. There is always some kind of porridge to choose from (for example, rice and buckwheat) and scrambled eggs / pancakes/ cheesecakes / casserole. Sandwiches with cheese and vechina, tea/coffee. On request, natural coffee can be brewed in your presence. The hotel itself is in the shade of pine trees, it is always cool in the room. Near Pitsunds
Beautiful location . The dining room is a little weak

Very good location - 15 minutes along a coniferous shady alley to the sea, good hearty breakfasts (many complain of monotony, but we were satisfied in 4 days), friendly and friendly staff. Cons - noise from the street, if the Windows overlook the roadway, and very high humidity and poor ventilation in the bathroom, which is why there is a persistent smell of dampness and mold on the walls in the bathroom ((
We were vacationing with our family. We liked everything. A new, clean hotel. Cleaning was carried out every day. The sea is 10 minutes away by a calm walk through the relic forest. The accommodation included breakfast. They are fed in a separate building, which is located across the stadium. The snacks are delicious, but the same type from day to day.
Not a bad hotel in Abkhazia. In Pitsunda in the center next to the Temple Museum. But the hotel is located along the road, and the noise insulation is not 100%. And I would like to have a more varied breakfast. But the girls cooks are great, they will do everything they can, they do not refuse in small things! Thank them very much! The girls at the reception are also great! Thank you for our vacation! Despite the storm, downpour and heat!
Great hotel! modern, clean, comfortable and beautiful. You need to climb the stairs without an elevator to the last two floors under the roof, please note if you have elderly people with you.
A good hotel. The location is convenient. It is better not to take breakfast, it sucks, as in the dining room under the USSR (for example, you can take porridge and scrambled eggs, but you can not take scrambled eggs and casserole, because it comes complete only with porridge, complete nonsense. Well, the thing that killed the most was that the sausage for scrambled eggs is given only to children under 14 years old) It is better to save this money by going to the nearest cafe for breakfast, since there are a lot of them there.
Everything is perfect, clean, the view is beautiful

Rested out of season, May 2023. I put 4 stars only because of one person at the reception who, well, just as specifically sought to create a problem and spoil the impression and feeling of relaxation and hospitality. Pros: convenient location and view of the temple; hearty breakfasts, although really monotonous, but I like scrambled eggs for breakfast, so I had to buy pepper and bring it myself, only instant coffee - I went to another place for coffee); a large TV, in the evening I watched a movie from the network.
Cons: the toilet tank was always wedged, constantly disassembled to fix it (room 210); the shower head flows through the hose; the noise from the road is felt and some riders are of course just infuriating.
A modern, comfortable hotel. It is located next to the stadium, in the city center. We had a view of the Patriarchal Cathedral of St. Andrew, it is right next to us. They went there to listen to the Organ.
The sea is 10 minutes away at a slow pace. Nice and clean rooms, cleaned every day. Each room has a balcony. They provide a delicious breakfast in the morning.
The price for the room is clearly too high (even including breakfast). The room smelled damp, and the shower stall was covered in black mold. The noise from the hallway on the ground floor is very audible.
There were two families in 2020: 3 and 5 people. We settled in Kiaraz, but in different hotels.
We are at the Start. Overall impression: not bad. But there are a lot of disadvantages. The most important thing is that the rooms smell very strongly of dampness and mold. As the staff explained to us, the Start was built on the ground, and a pit was dug for the Arena, and there is a basement there, so the Arena does not smell. The next day we asked to change our room. We went around a lot of rooms, it doesn't smell only from the sunny side, these are the windows at the entrance to the hotel.
The bed is big, we all slept together, there was enough space.
The rooms were booked in advance, and eventually we moved into a dirty room.
Of course, it's not super close to the sea, but it didn't bother us.
The lights were turned off several times in the evening. Several times there was no light in the morning, so the breakfasts were very late.
The cleaning is disgusting. The cleaner came, but it wasn't much use. Linen is changed frequently.
Plumbing is already not working well, with rust and cracks, broken holders, broken shower switch, etc. for small things. And one outlet was very impressive: either a kettle or a lamp.
There was not enough bread for breakfast several times.
There was one unpleasant moment. The fact is that we didn't always go to breakfast. We were promised breakfast for a child for free when booking. And as a result, we received a remark that we ate an extra pancake.
The room in the Arena was better, but also more expensive: the rooms are bigger, the sunny side is hotter there. Only the cleaning there was even worse than ours. The room is for 5000, and you wash it yourself. The hot water did not always reach. One more thing, obscene hints from the guard.
I repeat, it's not bad on the whole. Clean, friendly, quiet, breakfast, dishes in the room, kettle, TV, safe did not work.
But we will not stay at this hotel a second time.

We just returned from Abkhazia, stayed in Kiaraz Start. We chose this hotel believing the reviews. Apparently, those who write about good breakfasts have not seen anything better. There is cheese and butter on the buffet. And a choice of porridge and scrambled eggs. They asked for a double portion, they threw it off to us with their hand (The woman clings to everyone and makes remarks, talking loudly about what evil guests come to them. The dishes are cracked. Apparently everyone's numbers are different. On the very first day, they were treated with a broken shower and air conditioning. The shower eventually broke down every day. The rooms are cleaned, and towels are changed on request without any problems. The receptionists are not particularly friendly, apparently this is the trait. When booking rooms, you need to take into account the roadway under the windows of the front and side of the hotel. Their car is flying with a terrifying screech. It's better to take it to the other side. The view from the windows is amazing, it's a long way to the sea, 800 meters. Everything is nearby. The prices for accommodation are overpriced, taking into account all the nuances. Apparently they take the average cost from the market, but forget that the level also needs to be tightened.
We were in this hotel for the first time. Everything you need is there. In terms of cleanliness, it's a little dirty, the floors are dusty, and they probably don't wash under the bed at all. But this is more likely due to the lack of maids in the season, in general they try, but they do not have time. Therefore, this is more a question for the hotel administration and their savings on staff. Soap and other funds issued at the hotel were not enough and we were told that it was no longer allowed, also apparently saving the administration. There were breakfasts, quite tasty, satisfying, but monotonous, the same thing. Walking to the sea in a straight line takes 10-15 minutes slowly. In general, it is fine, pleasant staff, convenient location, there is a temple across the street. The cost is certainly too high.
The room was dirty (the floors were dirty), old furniture, the springs from the mattress dig into the spine. Intermittently weak water pressure. And the price for such a room is 6500rubles.
The hotel was dirty, and the furniture, especially the shower cabin, was falling apart. If the staff had paid attention to careful room cleaning, then everything would have been fine. The location is good, the hotel is very nice outside, there are breakfasts (only the dishes are constantly dirty), close to the beach (10 minutes), the staff is quite pleasant and helpful.
a pleasant place, a view of the temple from the balcony, the breakfasts are delicious, the service is excellent, the staff are very helpful people, the rooms have a refrigerator and a kettle, the showers are really old and uncomfortable)
Disgusting. There is no water in the room, the receptionist shrugs when asked when it will appear, the price of 4600 for a small room is clearly overstated, the room smells damp, granny's interior, previously lived next door at the Aqua hotel, 3000 per room, ideal conditions, never turned on the water, cleanliness is perfect, everything is new and modern, I had to to leave since we have already booked a room in Aqua, moved to Kiaraz START, on our own, 1600 rubles per day more expensive, zero service, I want to get out of such a hotel as soon as possible
The linen is silk and snow-white, an electric kettle with a set of ceramic glasses and two glass glasses,a hair dryer, air conditioning, a LG TV. A cozy room with muted orange curtains, white tulle, two aristocratic chairs (polished wood with upholstery), one plastic armchair and an openwork brother with warm light on the wall by the bed.
Outside the window, the spreading shaggy branches of cypress and Pitsunda pine are mixed, the trills of birds of different colors and tints suggest that you are in paradise.
Everything is wonderful!
I'm just warning you:
Buy a Beeline simcard in your homeland for communication and the Internet, because there are no Beeline offices here, but the card of this company is valid.
But the operators MegaFon, MTS, and even more so TELE 2 - in no form.
You will not even be able to access your banking page (to, say, find out how much money is on your card) if you log in to it using a code that is linked to your number, because communication to it is impossible.
Withdraw cash in advance, there is a commission here.
And Wi-Fi in the hotel is only in the corridor, and then it disappears without end.
In the room, the Wi-Fi is triggered only at the door, and the moody one loads, or else it will take 20 minutes to upload 1 photo.
Therefore, use the Internet of your Beeline card
A great hotel for a relaxing holiday 🤗 Add time for breakfast, can start earlier in the season 🙃In general, the location both to the sea and to the center is convenient!
Great hotel! The staff is very kind and helpful, delicious and hearty breakfasts. The rooms are clean and bright, cleaned every two days. Thank you very much to all the staff, a great stay at the Kiaraz hotel, we recommend it.
We just recently returned from vacation. We had a rest with two families, one at the start, the other in the arena (which is much more expensive). I think that the price tag for these hotels is unrealistically high. There is no cleaning in the rooms, breakfast is also about nothing, the sea is not the first line. The rooms in the arena are just big and spacious, but at the start they are small and smell damp. The only plus is a good location, but!.. there are many other wonderful hotels in the center of Pitsunda, which are much cheaper and closer to the sea. I am delighted with nature itself, not with the hotel!!!
The service, the location of the hotel, the rooms are all good. The star was removed for the lack of Wi-Fi. And even more likely for deception. There is no need to write about Wi-Fi, if in fact it works every other time.
