We had a rest with my wife at the sanatorium from April 28 to May 12, 2026. according to the wellness program (which does not require registration of a sanatorium card) in the building "European". The sanatorium is very conveniently located - the pump room is very close, the Victory City Park is even closer (just behind the railway), the train station is also nearby - we walked from the train to the sanatorium with suitcases on wheels. However, they called a Yandex taxi back (it arrived in a couple of minutes, and the fare to the train station, depending on the time of day, ranges from 80 to 250 rubles. Check-in time is 12 o'clock, and we arrived around 8 a.m., meaning we hadn't had breakfast yet. But we were immediately told that breakfast could be paid separately (700 rubles per person), which we did with pleasure, the cards were immediately flashed to us and we had a quiet breakfast in the restaurant. The food is beyond praise - delicious and varied, and on Thursdays there is live music and wine in the restaurant. During the holidays on May 1st and 9th, a barbecue and entertainment program was organized on the street. The building has a very high-quality renovation, linen was changed every fourth day, purifiers (coolers) with cold water and boiling water are working around the clock on the floors. The staff is friendly and helpful - we were not very satisfied with the booked room (it was cramped), but with the help of manager Alexander, we managed to quickly change it to a more comfortable one (with an additional fee, of course). The territory of the sanatorium is well maintained and regularly cleaned. High-level animation - a variety of entertainment and training sessions are offered daily, and concerts or a movie are shown in the evenings after dinner. Of the disadvantages, it can be noted that when you arrive at the sanatorium, in order to get to the reception with your things, you need to climb the external stairs up steep stairs, and then the internal ones. Then, however, it turned out that there was a ramp, but to use it, you need to bypass the Central building from the back, but there is no information about this anywhere, unlike the European building, where there is a diagram and an explanation at the main entrance that it is easy to get with things from the end of the building. Another perplexity was caused by the fact that the pool was under repair and was not working, but there was no information about it on the website, moreover, when a neighbor called the sanatorium and specifically asked, she was assured. that the pool is functioning! But my biggest disappointment was the visit to Assorov's urologist. Last year, I underwent an operation to remove my adenoma and made an appointment with him to get qualified advice on further prostate treatment and control. I showed him the discharge epicrisis, but I was immediately told that the adenoma could not be removed in principle (?!), no PSA control was needed (?!), the size of the prostate did not matter either (?!). And when I heard from him the phrase "How can I do everything I'm tired of this!", it became clear that further conversation did not make sense.
But despite the shortcomings noted, we were very satisfied with our stay at the Shakhter sanatorium and we will be happy to try to get here again. By the way, after returning home, it turned out that both my wife and I had recovered!
