“Everything bad that has been said so far! Doubled.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 September 2011
3
people found this review helpful

Do NOT stay at this hotel. I decided there were a couple of good things mixed with the bad among the reviews so thought I would give it a try. BIG MISTAKE. If I ever write a murder mystery about sleazy antics in a shady shabby hotel, I now have a model. The room is about 8 by 8, filled by a double bed with a second-hand sofa bed feeling mattress. I checked in late and was too tired to go elsewhere so didn't realize the odd shower container-thing bounces up and down when you move at all while showering, the window doesn't open and there's no AC. The girl on duty when I asked to see another room in the morning was a sullen rude ..... person. On the good side, it was not really dirty. And it was inexpensive...but considering it would have been overpriced at free...I find that hard to appreciate. I've moved to a lovely hotel still in Odessa but more about that later. DO NOT GO NEAR THIS PLACE unless the choice is the alley.

“Zirka Hotel Odessa: The smallest room ever, bad service, ugly and not clean”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We booked a double room DELUXE in advance over Wikipedia.
On Arrival: "Sorry, we have no DELUXE room available". They did not give us back the money spent more for the DELUXE room. Instead they gave us a small, ugly and dirty room.
The room was so small that 80% of the entire room was a small and over-used bed. Further 15% was the bathroom, which was so small that is was difficult to sit on the bathroom. The rest 5% of space we had to use for our luggage on the ground. Nothing in there. The curtains fell down, no windows. A very, very ugly and inconvinient hotel with bad service and not well educated personnel. Do yourself a favour and do not book this hotel.

“Good hoStel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

It's a hotel by Title, but its a hostel by the soul.

Pros:
Cheap price. Interenet on reception. Air Condition, bathroom in each room,fridge, TV even with free adult program:) A food shop 24h near
Good place for cheap accommodation in general.
Cons:
The falling bathroom door is there feature. I've stayed there two times and two times there was such a problem. Small rooms, bed+fridge and no free space left after that, no window (the cheapest room have no window, so you should pay for that). No kitchen or face inside. Walls made from "paper" you could hear everything from nearest rooms or corridor.Sometimes unclean, sometimes polite person but it depends...
You should not wait too much from this place, but it is a good variant if you're looking hoStel with no kitchen. Good connection with the sea side btw.

“all documents, cash, credit cards, phones etc are stolen!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 July 2011
3
people found this review helpful

All personal belongings (3 bags in total) were stolen from the closed room. The key was at the reception. The hotel management declined all responsibility, refused to confirm the theft. When asked politely why they do not want to make a document confirming the theft (requested by insurance), the manager told that she would prefer to arrange everything between client and management and NOT to call the police. As police was involved, the manager does not want to help the clients. The only thing she did: she provided police with the video camera records showing 2 thiefs coming to the hall of the hotel with 3 bags.
Moreover: this so called "hotel" is not a reliable accomodation because it is a kind of brothel (read the Russian text, proposing "the rooms for few hours" and makе a conclusion about true caracter of this establishment. Here is a URL: http://hotelodessa-ukraine.com/hotel-short.htm (in Russian) with a garantie that you will not meet your wife there! The absence of windows an a large choice of erotic/porno channels make it even more convincing.
To conclude: if you are foreigner and you stay there, the management consider you a potential victim!

We're sorry that such thing happened to you. Thefts, however, do happen in Odessa hotels. In the particular case you describe, police caught the thieves the next day based on the hotel's video surveillance data.
