The one-day seminar provided an opportunity to get to know the hotel, perhaps better than a week of rest. Everything - from parking to breakfast - the hotel is done at a very good level. The first thing that surprises is that the hotel actually stands in the sea, on a long pier. Every time you leave or enter the hotel, you stop for a minute, admiring the open sea and the port around. The sea is beautiful regardless of the weather.
Interiors with original paintings of modern art adorn the main hall, a spacious lobby bar with Internet turned out to be very handy when it was necessary to wait an hour before the start of seminars. A very cozy conference room with a full-wall view of the open sea.
Lunch at the restaurant can not be called exquisite, but it did not cause any complaints.
Polite staff not only smiles, but also helps to resolve issues.
There are three things I would say about the shortcomings.

Firstly, the walking distance to the central street - Deribasovskaya - does not allow us to confidently recommend the hotel to the elderly or families with strollers. The "Dyukovskaya" stairs can be "go around" on the funicular, but to get from the hotel to the funicular, you need to overcome the stairs to the 1st floor without a ramp for the stroller, and then "dive and emerge" from the underpass.
Secondly, there is no beach near the hotel (although swimming in the center of Odessa is not the smartest thing to do).
Secondly, the hotel is somehow strangely covered with the Internet. For example, it is not available at the reception and in conference rooms, but it is in the lobby bar.
Definitely recommend the hotel to business travelers and wealthy vacationers who come to see the city.
