Looking for an Odessa Hotel? If you are planning to visit the beautiful city of Odessa Ukraine and you do a little research early, you won’t have a problem in finding a hotel you like, since most of the hotels in Odessa Ukraine offer state of art services and nice accommodation. Some of them tend to be a little overpriced, especially since most of them are older hotels which were redecorated or refurbished recently. Booking early is something that you should keep in mind always though, since many of the hotels work with travel agencies and their availability might be limited, especially during high seasons. London hotel is one of the most famous Odessa hotels; what is unique about it is that it consists of several buildings each front of which mirrors the other. The buildings represent the royal palaces of England and Great Britain, such as the St James and the Hampton Court Palace, while there is a copy of the Big Ben outside. For those who enjoy little details like this, there is an actual Beefeater working as door keeper.   

 

  Hotel London stands out because it is a very quiet hotel in the city centre. In fact this is one of its great advantages, as several visitors wonder how a hotel can be so calm and quiet. Its location is of course a big plus, as it is located close to all major attractions; you can walk around the city if you want, or hire a cab for the longer distances. The hotel is very clean and features spacious rooms. Some of the guestrooms overlook the hotel’s gardens, while some others offer a city view. The hotel was recently refurbished, although there are still some elements to remind of the 80s style and aesthetics, which might not be quite appealing to all people. One more fun detail about the hotel is the breakfast, which is served by Scottish like men, wearing kilts. The breakfast though is quite big and reminds the huge typical English breakfast.


    Odessa Hotel on the other hand is one of the most famous Odessa Ukraine Hotels, and definitely one of the largest. Its location is ideal; it’s located at the harbour, almost at the sea. Many visitors claim that the location is so unique that they cannot actually describe it; one should experience it so as to understand what it is about. Odessa Hotel consists of 19 floors and 158 guestrooms, ranging from standard rooms to posh suites. All of them are equipped with latest amenities; the hotel managers claim that it is an ideal place for both leisure and corporate visitors and once you stay there you know that this is true, since there are not only the expected conveniences an comforts for the tourists, but also a comprehensive number of business and banquet facilities, which are modern and fully functional. The hotel is a little pricey but it’s a good value for money.

    If you are looking for a more affordable solution, and a homey atmosphere away from busy and noisy hotels, why not consider Odessa apartments? The www.odessapartments.com can prove to be a great alternative for your stay in Odessa.

Credit Crunch Bite Raises Hope in Rental Market

clock February 1, 2009 16:28 by author admin

   Company budgets have to be carefully watched when sending their Executives abroad, especially now, with the specter of recession just around the corner.  At one time, when a company was relocating its Executives to maintain the company perspective abroad, they stayed in local hotels with international reputations for their excellent service.  This cost the companies dear, putting an additional burden on available resources.  It was time to find a suitable alternative for the relocation of Executives abroad.  An ideal alternative was the short term rental market.



   Rentals for the short term market comprise fully furnished apartments and are complete with everything the discerning businessman needs while abroad.  Utilities are ready provided, with utility costs usually incorporated into the rental. This includes electricity, water and, if available, gas.  Additional to the rent are charges made for internet and cable TV usage, plus any telephone calls that might be made. The line rental, however, is covered in the rent. 

   An added advantage of providing furnished apartments for your Executives is their total freedom.  You can come and go as you please, socialize with friends, and even host business meetings according to your requirements.  The additional space means you have the space to entertain and hold parties and even bring your family with you for no more cost than the additional air fare.

   Apartments are certainly more cost effective than housing your Executives indefinitely in hotel rooms, often saving the company as much as 40% if staying for any length of time.  The apartments are administered by a Property Manager or Real Estate Agent and they will negotiate on your behalf to obtain the best deals for cost-effective solutions to home-from- home essentials.  Some Property Managers will only deal with the short term market while others specialize in longer term rentals only.

   Freedom of choice is another factor, offering furnished penthouses, luxury apartments, apartments with garden facilities or something more modest like a studio apartment or duplex, or even a fully service apartment.  Whatever is available, a short term rental is an ideal solution to provide your Executives with a comfortable home abroad.

   Short term rentals can be allocated for as little as 7 nights up to 3 months.  Medium term tenancy applies for rental periods over 3 months and up to 6 months.  If a rental is required for longer than 6 months it is let under the terms of a long term rental.  A lease applies and this will stipulate the length of the rental period and the terms and conditions that you are expected to comply with.
Despite these few drawbacks, however, selecting the right apartment for you can provide you with the space and luxury you would automatically expect in a hotel but provide you with the additional space and freedom that you would expect at home. Liaising with the Real Estate Agent to iron out any problems is the key to a happy and comfortable stay and, appropriately organized, a short term apartment has many benefits over using hotel accommodation for trips abroad.
