Hostel Hipstel


By investing in a competent designer, this establishment, located on the 1st floor of a stately 19th-century house, has put itself head and shoulders above other apartment hostels in Odesa. Dorms come in different sizes (some are a little cramped), but all bunk beds come with orthopedic mattresses and curtains. A reasonable shower/guest ratio prevents morning queues.
