Khatky Na Penkakh

Khatky Na Penkakh is a real gem for those seeking an authentic Carpathian getaway. This three-star hotel is located on Grushevs’kogo Street in the heart of Vorokhta, and I can say that it’s hard to find a better base for exploring the area. The owners have truly created something special — each room is decorated in traditional Hutsul style while still having all modern amenities. Parking is free right on the property, which is very convenient, especially in winter when you’re hauling skis and gear.

What I loved most is that the hotel is literally a five-minute walk from Vorokhta railway station, so getting here is incredibly easy. The staff is very friendly and always ready to suggest the best hiking routes — they recommended I visit Probiy waterfall, and it was an incredible adventure. The breakfasts here are homemade with local products, and if you ask, they can prepare lunch to go. The only thing to note — the walls are quite thin (these are wooden cottages after all!), so if you have noisy neighbors, it might get a bit loud. But overall the atmosphere here is very peaceful, especially in the evening when you can sit on the terrace overlooking the mountains.
