“Well-placed, quiet hotel offering excellent value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2011
2
people found this review helpful

This three-star hotel offers clean, quiet, comfortable accommodation close to most of the main city centre attractions. There's no restaurant, so breakfast is room service (it comes at the time requested but is not great - just about acceptable), or you get a voucher to take breakfast in a local restaurant (we did not try this). The rooms are more spacious than many similarly-starred western European hotels. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom (shower only) was 'bijou' but everything worked OK. We found the staff very helpful and polite. Odessa in July is rather 'Blackpool hosts Essex man' (an allusion probably only understood by Brits), best summed up by the audience at the famous opera house happily using camera flash equipment and clapping along with the music - at a performance by the Bolshoi ballet!! (The management eventually told them to desist). The Potemkin steps will disappoint anyone who has seen the film. My wife reports good shopping opportunities (my credit card supports this statement).

Room Tip: We had a room overlooking an inner courtyard. It was very quiet

“Almost perfect”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The hotel meets most of the international standards (for smaller hotels). Each and every detail is well-thought. Staff is very friendly, the hotel & rooms are perfectly clean and have excellent condition, location is great - you can get to the famous Theatre by foot in 5-10 mins. There is a good choice of restaurants & bars in the vicinity (just nextdoor). But... slow and unstable wi-fi connection, relatively small bathroom without bath (only shower).

“Huge difference between first and second visit”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2011
6
people found this review helpful

I stayed twice with a gap of 2 months in between. After first visit I was fully aligned to other comments. Second time however (bad luck ?) the staff courtesy was significantly less friendly. Upon check out fex there was a security guy checking my room. He did not find one of the 10 hangers and I was asked to pay for it. I returned to room and found it back. Felt embarassed in their place. Equally second time upon requesting to call a taxi, they did. Security guard insisted on guiding us to taxi and did not want to leave without tip. Maybe just bad stars that day....
Room was nice, breakfast fine. Elevator is funny..it takes ages to move up or down. Excellent new Indian restaurant next doors.

“Great”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 June 2011

people found this review helpful

always stay in this hotel. great location - in th city center but in a quiet street, walking distance to the city center, several good restaurants within 5 min walk. Rooms are not very big but cosy and quiet, pillows and bed comfortable. in bathroom they have great cosmetics - handmade french one. hotel has internal garden ask room facing this patio - guarantee no noise. Breakfast is served in cafe 5 min walk - u will be given 2 restaurants to choose from and in case booking BB reception will give you breakfast voucher with money value. one is Buffalo and another is Troubadour - i prefer Buffalo - they have more European cuisine and also serve American breakfast. in case u eat more the the voucher cost u may pay cash. but voucher cost is usually quite enough. reception is always friendly and nice, will provide u with map of the city, will recommend some nice restaurant to have dinner. Hotel offers transfer to the airport and railway - but it is 3 times more expensive then the city taxi.
In general this hotel is Great value for money!

“Excellent service”

Charming hotel with the atmosphere of a B&B. An incredible staff assisted in every way. Their porter bought us ballet tickets and even went to a pharmacy with us to find the proper medication. Their extensive continental breakfast was excellent and so were the breakfast restaurants for which they gave us $9 each.
