If you pay a bit extra you can get a huge room overlooking the sea and Primorsky Boulevard. It is all a bit old fashioned, with old style furniture etc, but it is such a historic place that it is worth staying just for that. There is a nice inner courtyard for coffees and drinks. You can walk anywhere in the centre from here. It has a great swimming pool if you want to swim. The desk of the reception desk is actually heated, which is nice if it is cold and you are checking in! Good value for money.

It is owned by the same company as the Bristol which was hit by a Russian missile in February (2025) so some think it is also risk, ie., more so than anywhere else. Didn't like the irritating musak they play in the corridors but you can't hear in your room so that is good.

The hotel is very spacious and clean, rooms have very high ceilings. The historical interior is well preserved. The inner patio with huge old trees is very picturesque. Breakfast was very good. The stuff is helpful and nice. All in all, absolutely worth the price. You pay for staying in a hotel but also get to see an interesting historical property - so kind of visiting a museum as well. I also got free room upgrade which was nice. Free visit to the sauna and swimming pool in the hotel spa is included in the room booking.

I am not sure my review will get posted because it is not about Londonskaya, as all those having a booking there are currently being relocated free of charge to the luxurious Hotel Bristol. Both hotels are run by the same company, which offers this solution while the boulevard housing Londonskaya is sealed off for security reasons because of the ongoing war. Hotel Bristol may have a smaller swimming pool but it is certainly a better hotel set in an ornate historical building in central Odesa. Since I paid the Londonskaya rate (roughly half of what Bristol charges its guests), I stayed in a smaller and simpler mansard room. Yet it had everything I needed and I had access to all the services. Some were limited, however: lights were dim, the water in the pool cooler than usual and one morning there was no breakfast buffet because there were too few guests (we were told to choose from the menu). Following a missile strike on the city one day, some services were further reduced and the guests were asked to use water frugally. But at least there was water and light while most of the city had neither!

Considering the circumstances in Ukraine, I cannot complain.

No outlets near the bed

The hotel is located exactly in the center of Odesa close to Opera House. There are also several parks and historical sites nearby. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Since I’m a member of the Vertex loyalty, we’ve been rewarded with special discounts in the restaurant and SPA. Btw SPA is amazing🤩 It was a great weekend!

Beautiful Belle Epoque hotel on the best location of Odesa, between the Potemkin steps and the beautiful opera. They also have a good bomb shelter.

Nothing

We were actually upgraded from the Londonskaya to the Bristol Hotel. We loved everything about the Bristol: beautiful interior, great staff, great food, great location!

There was a doorman, but he never opened the door for us. Would have been a nice touch.
