A very nice place with an excellent location in the city centre, close to the Preobrazhensky Sobor in a green area full of shops, bars and restaurants. The owner who was present while we stayed there was very nice and gave us a lot of useful information and also helped with some problems we had. Both private rooms and dorms are clean and comfortable, common areas are bright and spacious.

This was an excellent first stay in a hostel and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Adam and Svita are two very friendly, laid back and helpful people. The informations and rules were easily available, clear and adequate, with a good hint of humour. I only regret missing out on the fact that there was a daily laundry service. Great place!

It was so awesome to stay in TIU Front Page Hostel! Me and ELEVEN my friends stayed there unfortunately for only 1 night, but we were happy, that booked Adam's hostel. Thank you for the atmosphere, design and cat))))) Hostel is situated in the centre of Odessa, so it took 5-10 min by foot to go to main attractions, or 15 mins to the beach (we used really cheap taxi, thank you for number, guys!) I don't know how to describe it in some words, but this hostel is really brilliance!

I really liked staying at this hostel! It has a really unique layout and the staff was very friendly. The only thing that really bothered me was that there were signs EVERYWHERE saying things like, "don't spend your time on Crackbook, go outside and play!" kind of dictating what we do with our times abroad, which I found slightly annoying, and also, just in general, annoying signs were everywhere that were trying to be funny but weren't really, just obnoxious.

Owner Comment (Show)
Obviously we don't dictate how anyone should spend their time abroad. The sign on the computer is only directed at guests who occasionally monopolise the hostel computers which are for all guests to use.....Of course if you want to waste all your time using Crackbook on your own computer...then please do so.

The Management makes you feel safe and secure and provides every help when asked for, but it takes a time to get warm with it (if ever)...not the cozy type ;-) An enormous amount of warning signs provides an atmosphere making you feel somewhat under-age. On the other hand it keeps troublemaking to an absolute minimum, which is good especially for travellers past the "lets party all night"-age. Location and everything else is cool.

Great laid back hostel, in an excellent location, close walking distance from the town centre and restaurants. They seem to be constantly cleaning the place and it was always spotless. Like a lot of people I think, I ended up staying longer than I planned, and of course it's run by an Australian so you know everything is going to be done right.

This hostel was really nice. First of all I would like to say that location is just perfect. In the morning you hear the church bells) and to the center of the city you need to make a few steps) The hostel teem was very kind. It is good hostel for this money, location, cleanliness and the atmosfer of old Odessa, which you definitely feel there)
