Grand Orlov Apart Hotel Overview
I’ll be honest – when I first heard the name Grand Orlov Apart Hotel, I was expecting something a bit more… grand, I suppose. But you know what? Sometimes it’s better when a place doesn’t try too hard to live up to a fancy name. This three-star spot has this unpretentious charm that actually works in its favor, especially if you’re the type of traveler who values substance over flash.
The apart-hotel concept here is pretty well executed – you get proper apartment-style setups with kitchenettes that are actually functional (I mean, you can cook real meals, not just heat up instant noodles). The rooms have this lived-in quality that feels more like staying at a friend’s place than some sterile hotel box. I noticed they’ve got decent-sized windows in most units, which honestly makes such a difference when you’re settling in for more than just a night or two. The furnishings are nothing to write home about – think IKEA meets practical hotel design – but everything works and feels clean. The kitchenette setup is particularly handy if you’re doing the whole extended stay thing or just want to save money by not eating out every meal.
What really struck me about this place is how it seems to attract a mix of business travelers and families who clearly know something the rest of us don’t. During my stay, I kept running into people who’d been coming back for years, which says something. The staff has this relaxed efficiency – they’re not hovering, but they know their stuff when you need them. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward, none of that upselling nonsense you get at bigger chains. I actually appreciated that they didn’t pretend to be something they weren’t. The building itself shows its age in places, sure, but it’s well-maintained in that European way where character matters more than having everything look brand new. Parking can be a bit of a puzzle depending on when you arrive – not impossible, just requires a little local navigation. The neighborhood has this authentic feel where you’re staying where people actually live and work, not in some tourist bubble. I’d definitely consider staying here again, especially for longer trips where having that extra space and kitchen setup makes all the difference in feeling human.

Everything. Can't fault this place for the price. Great location. 5 mins from beach and main streets but very quiet so you get undisturbed sleep. Comfy and clean. Would recommend
