Spent 5 nights in the Odesa apartments in Madrid. Very clean and appropriate furniture - only weakness was a lack of suitable cutlery. Good location - small bars, restaurants, shops very near and easy walking distance to centre of Madrid for museums, metro etc. Some problem with leaving key on departure as the reception desk was closed but I would...

Basic old fashioned room but very clean. The service is minimum but you dont expect anything when you go to such kind of place for 45€ a nighht Location is good, near the Chueca, so if you wanna sleep well and a lot, not ideal, but party, it is awesome. Unfortunately, I was given the room just behind the reception... More

The rooms were very clean and the bathroom was spotless. The location was fantastic, near a Metro stop and lots of shopping and places to eat. If you want luxury and a romantic trip I would not recommend this hotel, but if you need somewhere to stay for a couple of nights while doing some sightseeing and exploring in Madrid... More

I have used the apartments on 6 different occasions over the last 4 years and have the exact opposite experience of many of the writers here. I have found the staff friendly and helpful. Yes, I have the advantage of speaking some Spanish but I am always surprised to hear complaints from travellers that the people do not speak English...uhm... More

I stayed here for 1 night on 24.04.08. Yes the receptionist does not speak a word of English - I can speak Spanish - but she was as polite as you can expect to find in Spain! My room and bathroom was spotless and perfectly adequate for an overnight. Location - in the heart of Chueca - is great and... More

I would never recommend anyone to get in contact with this place. I tried to book a room via their homepage. as I did not get any confirmation or any other response, I called them and tried to ask for an explanation. however, no one in this place speaks any other language than Spanish. so I asked a Spanish friend...

Having lived in Madrid already I decided to go back and visit and wanted to stay in the Gran Vía area, however I was a little worried that the hostals in that area would be seedy and dirty, nontheless I booked the Hostal Odesa and couldn't have been happier; The rooms were very clean and our room overlooked La Calle...

It is a really nice hotel, i've been with my boyfriend last june and definitely i will come back. Very clean and it is completly new. It is placed in the middle of Chueca, next to shops and all the nightlife. I recommend it to everybody

Basically, I had the same awful experience at the Odesa as all below. I would NEVER stay there again!!!! I had the lectures from the overbearing women upon check-in and was forced to obey the obnoxious rules about guests. Also, the rooms really aren't that great, and as another reviewer said, the staff won't let you see the room before... More
