My stay at the Black Castle was close to starting in the worst possible way. The hotel is located just outside the city on the H10 road towards Kalush. I needed to turn left into it and, despite it being on a long straight stretch, I was almost on top of the entrance when I saw it. Another small road just further so I decided to turn there and give the car behind me (very close behind me) a chance to slow down as well. However, as I started to turn I noticed another car trying to overtake both me and the car behind!! Fortunately, no accident but I would advise care on the turn.
Now, to the hotel itself; the main building and separate restaurant are built in the style of a medieval castle and looks good externally. The theme continues internally but with almost a minimalist approach, such that it is not as overbearing as I have seen in other locations. 
In the well kept gardens, there is also a large ship style structure with bar and seating area (it was closed though during my visit). 
The room was good, clean and comfortable. Typically, breakfast had to be ordered the night before. It was not a large breakfast but sufficient. Service was very good throughout.
With it being so close (10-15mins straight drive in), the Black Castle is a good alternative to the hotels in the centre and represents very good value for money.

Happy to find it and stay the night

Stayed 3 nights here. Castle themed, but just about everything is fake, of course. Kids may like it here! Fake paper flowers, fake tree in room [which has the TV cable wrapped around it!]. Etc.

Located close to a busy road, so you may have to close windows and turn airco on [not sure which one is more noisy!]. 

You need a car or get taxis to get into town [20 minutes]. 

Restaurant: nobody eating here, loud music blearing away anyway, and it looks awful inside [to me anyway]... Better hit the town for nicer places to eat...

Arrived and was told, "we have no sign of your booking.com booking." So, I decide to check the room on offer before settling the bill. Room quite nice. Not expensive. 

Payment: oops, not possible at reception as their cc machine does not work properly there. I.e. poor wifi connection. Had to move to the restaurant on the other side of the courtyard for payment. 

TV in room: did not work. Reported problem at reception on day one, it still took two days to get it fixed. 

No cleaning of room [well soundproofed btw] after day one. Onto reception, where the lady says "we may be able to arrange cleaning for the next day." Considering people working in hotels in Ukraine are [usually] not the most smiling and funny crowd you may encounter, perhaps it was a joke?! But they did clean up the room alright.

Toilet rolls: just one [small type] on offer for 2 people per day. Just as well we did not eat Goulash )))

Breakfast: need to order the night before. No juice on offer!! Coffee: so-so. 

Reception folks: not always at their post!! ))

All on all, a place to stay for 1 night and then quickly move onto your next destination ))

Oh, nobody speaks English here...

So-so place...

We have booked 5 rooms in the current hotel using booking service. The 2 rooms was for special deal price. On the next day we had gotten the call from the hotel administration and they told us that the selected rooms for special price doesn't exist. And as addition for the previous news they told us the price will be changing for choosed by us dates. 
Hotel administration thinks that the early room booking it's weird. But we don't think so.

Free advice for hotel administration: Change the politics of booking.
