My friend and I selected this hotel based on price and location, and were pleasantly surprised. The location was excellent, within walking distance of most of the sights around the center of Odessa, including the Potemkin Stairs, TsiochinBridge, etc. Plenty of good restaurants, bars and convenient markets within minutes.
The room was small but comfortable, and was very clean. Street noise was surprisingly low through the dual-pane windows. Water pressure was excellent, and the hot water was plentiful. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and allowed us to check out later for a reasonable fee.
All in all a comfortable, no-frills but inexpensive place to stay while you check out Odessa.
