All our mattresses are comfortable box spring mattresses; our sheets are quality cotton and ironed for your sleeping enjoyment. We are experts at finding a reason to party, there is always someone going to a bar, concert or club and during the day we offer unique and interesting tours (see below).

Our hostel is a large spacious apartment with chandeliers and gold gilded ceilings, styled after the palace of an 18th century Odessa aristocrat. We have two balconies for lounging or smoking, two bathrooms and a large comfy communal area with couches and a TV. Our kitchen is fully functional with a blender, microwave, stove, oven, spices, coffee grinder. The dorm room is beautiful and spacious. Our private room is luxurious and decorated with classic furniture.

We opened, live and work in this hostel because we love Odessa and meeting new people. We enjoy the city, know the city and aren�t here just to make a buck. If you want to stay in a place that feels like a home, is connected to the culture of Odessa and isn�t just another generic hostel or apartment that treats you as a commodity, come stay with us.
