Excellent little boutique hotel
Stayed in Ekaterina II for 3 days in October for my GFs birthday. I was very impressed - the ace is nice, clean and is very centrally located, a 1 minute walk to the "Duke" monument. Dozens of restaurants around the corner, great walking places too. What truly made the stay special is the people who work at the front desk. Pleasant, professional, always smiling (not a given in Ukraine) looking to help with any question or request. The cherry on the cake was the present they gave my GF when they've found out it was her b-day. I travel a lot for both business and pleasure. Even in this weird COVID year, I've spent about 60 nights in hotels so far. These three were truly the most pleasant. We'll most definitely be back!

Nice Hotel
The best thing about this hotel is its location. It honestly couldn't have been better located. It's bang in the middle of ALL THE ACTION yet it's surprisingly very quiet in the rooms. The receptionists all nice & friendly. Our room wasn't serviced but we were only staying 2 nights so no massive issue. The safe in my room didn't work but overall the location and the quietness of the hotel overcompensates the small negatives. I would stay again.

Terrific!
So central, easy to find - thru the archway to a courtyard, very quiet, excellent enjoyable (we had the bacon/eggs & crepe with berries) breakfast, and perfectly presented coffee. They also offer dinner. Very clean, good english at reception. We caught a Viking Cruise from the port - it as a ten minute walk to the ship. Would stay again!!

It is price point perfect if you like a place to stay in the center of the city yet removed from the noise. Everything is close. And for the price, compared to other properties you can't beat it. But if you are used to being treated delicately maybe it is not for you. It is wonderful for the price.

Standard European style 3 star hotel
It is exactly like a 3 star hotel I've stayed at in other places in Europe. The economy room was small but everything worked and the value for the price paid was excellent. It was nice enough that we booked another night 2 weeks later. The location is in a great part of the city near the famous steps and not far from the main sights. The view from their breakfast room is fantastic and the breakfast add on was well worth the money. It is a little bit of a weird entrance but this is an old city.

Fantastic Location
The hotel is in a great location within easy walking distance of several sites of the city. The rooms are a little small (a junior suite is smaller than a standard hotel room in the US) but comfortable. Everything was clean and the restaurant serves good food though a limited menu. One thing to note is that the published room rates on the hotel's own website are lower than you'll find on a travel site (I paid almost 50% higher through Expedia) ... Definitely I would stay at this hotel again if I return to Odesa.

My favorite hotel experience
This hotel is excellent. Airport transfer, location, and comfort were all better than expected. I loved breakfast every morning in the cafe overlooking rooftops and the active harbor. I had a dinner and lunch there too, which did not disappoint. Finally, the staff was great. They were friendly and professional. They made my feel welcomed and special. It is in an ally, which often has armed guards for money transfer, but they never made me feel nervous. It is a quick walk to the Pot'yomkin Stairs. Laundrey services are reluable and inexpensive by western standards. All in all, my favorite hotel experience.

I had stayed here before so had no hesitation in booking this hotel again. It is clean, has good, English speaking staff and is in an excellent location. The only thing I could find against it was that the bed was a little hard but this seems to be common to many hotels in Ukraine. I booked a standard double room for 1 person but would suggest upgrading if there are two of you. I would certainly recommend this hotel.

Excellent Value
I needed a hotel for one night before travelling to Odessa Airport early the next morning so I was not looking for an expensive stay. I decided to try Ekaterina II and was not disappointed with the value of this small hotel. My room was spotlessly clean and the receptionist and staff spoke good English and were very helpful. I ordered my own taxi so do not know their charges for the same service. However, on comparison, the fee I paid for my night's stay here was the same as I was charged for a taxi to the airport from a bigger 4 star hotel some years back. Top value and a pleasant stay.

Absolute joy staying here.
I had a fantastic stay here albeit for one night. The service was exceptional and the room was immaculate. The receptionist go above and beyond their call of duty to help arrange trains, things to do etc. My phone charger broke inadvertently broke by accident but the receptionist was quick to lend me one and show me where I was able to get a replacement.

Weird City, Decent Stay!
Odessa is a strange, seedy city. First of all, avoid taxis at all costs, unless you are referred by one by the hotels. Second, there's 2 Ekaterina hotels, so ensure when you try navigating into Odessa, choose the one at the end of Katerynys'ka Street - Catherine II Monument. It'd help if you write this down (Материал из Википедии — свободной энциклопедии) in case people have no clue where you're trying to go. At the hotel, you have to go around the back courtyard and indoors, up the elevator to the 4th floor. It's a strange setup, but at least you're not humping your luggage x-amount of stair flights like other hotels. There, you're greeted by an excellent staff. They speak good English and go out of their way to help you with every question you possibly have. They are GREAT for tourists. My room was pretty nice. I'd suggest leaving your card at the lobby desk in the event you run into trouble out in town. So just grab their business card in case you want a REAL taxi to bring you back. Worth the money and conveniently located near many restaurants & bars.

Great place to stay - Treated very well
I could not have been happier with my stay at this hotel. I didn't know where to stay so decided on this hotel and was very happy with that decision. The people working at the hotel made the stay an amazing place. Kind, Friendly and courteous. I would say that the only things that was a little different about the Hotel is that the entry door is off of the street in the back of the building and is not Easy to see the entrance. It also needs some work. But even given this small thing it was an amazing hotel.

צוות המלון מדהים מאוד ושירותי. התארחנו בחדר 101,חדר גדול ומפנק ,נקי מאוד ויש בו את כל מה שצריך כולל מטבח מפואר. מיקום מעולה, וקרוב מאוד למרכז במרחק של כמה דקות הליכה. ארוחת בוקר טובה. כדי לאזן, חיפשתי משהו שלילי לרשום ופשוט לא מצאתי. פשוט נהנו מאוד משהיה ונחזור למלון שוב.

bon rapport qulité prix
Emplacement idéal, au cœur du centre historique d'Odessa, à l'ombre de la statue de Catherine 2. Attention : l'hôtel est bien caché, il faut franchir le porche du 7 square Katherina, traverser une grande cour arborée et monter au 4ème étage d'un immeuble privé pour accéder à la réception de l'hôtel. Personnel souriant et attentionné, check in anticipé à 10h (au lieu de 13) sans surcoût, chambre simple, propre, aménagée avec goût, excellente literie, salle de bains parfaitement équipée.

便利な場所にあるアットホームな宿
場所が便利。近くに夜遅くまで空いていているスーパーもある。フロントや部屋もアットホームで落ち着きます。レストランから海が見えて眺めがよい。ただ、夜のレセプションの女性が、事前にカードで予約しているに、到着日にカードをキャンセルにして現金で支払ってといわれ、断ってカードの請求書にサインしたのに、間違ってキャンセルしたから明日現金で払ってと言われ、最後はチェックアウト時もいってくるので、何か変でした。

エカテリーナ2世像前のホテル
繁華街に至近で、ポチョムキンの階段や劇場は徒歩10分圏内にあり、観光には便利です。 ただし、ビルの上階にあり通りに看板もなく、入口がわかりにくい。ICで夜中に到着し、タクシーで向かったもののドライバーは場所がわからず、エクスペディア掲載の電話番号は不通で、途方に暮れていたら、近所のメンズクラブの客が場所を教えてくれました。エカテリーナ2世像を正面に、左手の坂を下ったグレーのビルの中にあります(3分も歩けばビルの入口に着きます。入口にホテルの看板が出ています)。 繁華街を15分ほど歩くとショッピングモールがあります。スタローバヤや雰囲気の素敵なレストランが近くにたくさんありますが(もちろんホテルにもあります)、週末で混んでいたので、モール地下のスーパーで量り売りの惣菜を買い、ホテルで食べました。 部屋は決して広くはありませんが、掃除が行き届いており、清潔で快適です。 内部は天井が少し傾斜していて、屋根裏部屋のような素敵な雰囲気です。 バスローブやミニバーもあります。が、なぜかコンドームもおいてあります……近くに何件もメンズクラブがあったので、そういう用途で使う客もいるのかもしれません。 ただし、ホテル自体は健全な雰囲気です。 朝食は1ドリンク・1ディッシュのオーダー制。 写真のフォームにチェックを入れて渡します。朝食とはいえ時間に制限はないようで、好きな時間にオーダー可能です。 量もあり、作りたてなので暖かい。ただし、目玉焼きやオムレツなどを頼んでもパンはつきません。 フロントスタッフは英語が堪能で、みなさん大変親切でした。 フロントのある4階まではエレベータがありますが、4階から客室のある5階までは階段しかないので、大きな荷物のある方は頑張って運んでください。
