Great location
Can't beat the location (the hotel is within two blocks from Deribasovskaya and about a ten-minute walk from the Opera House) and the price! My mom enjoyed their breakfast, but I didn't appreciate the instant coffee. Overall, very good for the price.
I like the hotel style. Stayed there 25 days and was great service.

For the price it seemed reasonable, and probably can be for most, if you avoid the following:-
My room did not have a private shower/wc (shared with another room). No air conditioning, And the shoe shop next door blasted very loud beat music all day right under the window.
Traffic and Church bell noise was also intrusive at times.

So this place is like in a scary movie. Its dark in corners of the hotel. The doors and floor make noises. The place is over 300 years old so its probobly hunted. No AC in the room and most rooms you have to share a bathroom. Staff is nice but no elevator. Very close to center so that is good. I think they have bed bugs. I would not stay there again but i dont regret that i was there. Must experience at least once. Book online as prices are higher at the door.

Good: Helpful staff, great architecture. Not so good: wifi didn't reach the room, short bed, no lift, low water pressure in the shower, breakfast was very poor: no vegetables, fruits, ham, eggs, kefir, yoghurt, müsli etc.
Hotel is cheap and what you get is what you pay for. For $10 more you can stay at a much better hotel. it was cold in the room at night and there was no heater or air conditioniconditioning. I complained about it but nothing was done. Bed was very uncomfortable. Reception personnel are good and friendly. No elevator, no room service. Location is very good though.

You get what you pay for. It worked for me and my fiance for one night, but we would not stay any longer than 1 that. The room was clean but it didn't feel overly cozy.
All was good. Very clean room, sheets, etc., hotel in general, although everything reminds of Soviet era.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
This is definitely a 2-star hotel, despite Expedia's rating of 3 stars. Factually speaking, the rooms do not have phones to communicate with the front desk; one has to run down each time! The 'standard' room I got (Room 309) had no shower curtain or rail for the shower. I had to argue hard to get a 'standard' room that I booked with air conditioning and good WiFi; it took 30 minutes for the room transfer. But the location is good.
I stayed in room with one small bed. Room was small. Bathroom had shower and hot water. I had problems with my toilet not flushing properly and no one came to fix it. Room had no heater, but they gave me a portable one. It didn't heat up the whole room. I didn't hear my neighbors, but you hear people if they are loud in the hallway being doors are made of wood. I didn't hear too much noise from hallway. Half the front desk were helpful. Wifi worked in my room. If it doesn't, you sit in the lounge on each floor to get it. Good location to the sites. Breakfast included one egg, cheese and meat, and all you want salad, desert, and water. For a little more, I'd stay in a nicer place.

You get what you pay for...
First, lets start that it is a 2 star hotel. With this in mind: On the winter season it is cold. 2 days I was without hot water. So very cold shower and they are not quick to fix it. There is only wifi on the common room. The lady at the breakfast is not the most courteous either...
In the end, the room is cheap and clean. But you do have to sacrifice comfort for the price you are paying. The location is very good though.
i just whent for the week in odessa, most people are freindly, the weather was great in october too, but beware taxi drivers, charge too much, overall good expereiance first time in europe.

Nice hotel in city center
Nice old hotel, not of Western European standards and a bit drab. Staff all very friendly and courteous, and willing to be of assistance at all times. For a lone traveler not able to speak Russian they were all very helpful. Will use this hotel againg on my next trip to Odessa
It is big hotel with a lot of space, but this hotel was build in the 1960 and no one do anything here exept change tv, the Staff in hotel are exellent but it's not what normal people need
The hotel was an okay one if you just need a place to crash for the night. The hotel needs some remodeling and some updating. If you are on a budget then it would be good. I would say that breakfast buffet was good and no complaints on that end of the hotel.

Old fushion but nice.
It's a very old fusion hotel as everything else in Odessa... But the room was huge for very small price. Centrally located. Make sure you book with a bathroom as some rooms share the toilet and the bathroom .
They need curtains to block the sunlight, otherwise it rudely awakens you at 5am in the morn.

Not bad for the price
Overall good experience. During my stay, considering the price, nothing stood out as disappointing. Location, cleanliness, staff, and even breakfast, where a little above my expectations. Don't fret over comfort. Want better, pay more!
I will recommend this hotel for a budget seeker traveler.

It is not a bad place for the price.It's clean and breakfast is not bad. You get a reasonable breakfast for the price of the stay. The location is right in the central square of Odessa where everything is at your fingertips like the Black Sea and shopping and basically in the perfect location. But for me the hotels was a little tricky to find because it does not stand out when you walk especially at night. But taxis know the place. If you are waiting on a call make sure you ask because no one will leave a message at your door. Also they had a power outage in the neighborhood for a day and the hotel had only a back up generator for the front desk. The rooms were out of power for a whole day. I was only a week there but it happen only once the whole time was there. My only pet peeve was that smoking was allowed in the rooms. I heard that it is illegal to smoke in public business and in the public areas. But people do it anyway. I did not smell a lot of smoke but too me a little is too much. I do not like cigarettes!
If you don't mind sharing a bathroom which is usually available, this hotel has much to offer for a budget concerning traveler. The staff is Friendly, the security is very proficient, and they have a travel agency, barbershop, breakfast cafe with complimentary breakfasts serving omlettes and do it yourself trimmings. Fresh juice, milk and good coffee. Not speaking UK, or Russian they were polite and helpful to me. I would recommend this place for extended stays. I am not sure about laundry as I had mine done elsewhere.
Oda soğuktu,gece elektrikler kesiliyordu,daha kötü bir oda vermek istediler kabul etmedim verdikleri oda da yine sorun oldu.güvenlik arkadaşlar iyiydi kahvaltıdaki hizmet iyiydi.konumu iyiydi.
Chambre très sales , j’ai refusé de séjourner dans cet endroit.
On m’a remboursé la taxe de séjour mais l’établissement ne n’a pas tenu sa promesse à me rembourser mon argent.
ПРИ заїзді кондіціонер та телевізор не працювали. після того як 5 разів на годину ходив нагадував то через 2 години зробили. Як би не це то для свого класу отель добре.Вай фай відсутній.
Гостиница старая, от этого атмосферная. Включён континентальный завтрак (блюдо на выбор) с доступом к небольшому буфету. Кофе растворимый. Местоположение отличное, в двух минутах от Дерибасовской. Нам сделали апгрейд до полудуркам на все три ночи, что мы останавливались, поэтому был кондиционер. Без него летом трудно)
Konum harika, rahat edeceğiniz bi otel. Kahvaltı güzel. Sadece yatak çok gıcırdıyor:)

Problems with cleaning rooms
The hotel has high ceilings and an advantageous location.But the work of some chambermaids is rather unsatisfactory. One of the rooms had brown towels. I have been replaced by white. But the next day, during my absence in the room, they were replaced again with brown ones, and at the same time no trace of cleaning was observed! The room was absolutely not cleaned !!! I urge you to inform chambermaids about the standards .
