Don't expect too much when staying in an average Russian hotel. This hotel is stil upgrading their rooms. But, there are a lot of rooms so it will take a while. Patience is important in Russia. I can't add anything to the previous ratings. Just some good advice. If you expect the same standard as in your homecountry then pay... More

My husband and I stayed here one night before and one night after a trip to the Bajkal sea so we got to experience two different rooms. The first room we got was relatively new and of decent size. The room looked like it was decorated in the 70s, but was nice and clean. The second room we got was... More

In 2001 I stayed in the hotel for 2 nights - one of the worst hotels I experienced at that time. The room had what appeared to be a straw mattress, the bathroom - well a cowshed would be luxury and the door security - there was not any. And in 2012 a very good transformation. A very comfortable bed,... More

The 3 star Irkutsk Hotel is the largest hotel in Irkutsk and is located in the city centre, with views across the Angara River and to the Railway Station on the opposite bank. The hotel has large, wide, high ceilinged corridors, large spacious rooms furnished in a very basic utilitarian style – in every way this hotel is so typical... More

There seem to be no non-smoking rooms but the air is quite fresh nevertheless. The cafe in the lobby makes excellent cappuccino and stamps can be bought in the souvenir shop. The only negative...

The hotel is big, intenationally used and somewhat "worn". Good service and friendly staff. Rooms OK with WiFi.

We loved the view, it was amazing watching the sunset over the river from the window. But even though everything looked quite new, everything in the room seemed to be falling apart, everything in the bathroom was loose, even the door to the room was falling to pieces. Also the breakfast was the worst we ever had. They served instant... More

We stayed here for one night as part of organised tour on trans siberian railway. The location was really good and it was easy to walk round town from the hotel. The rooms were quite basic, felt a bit like a college hall of residence. Public areas were nice enough and rooms all clean. It was hard to sleep as... More

It's the large hotel situated in the center of the city, on the bank of the Angara River and not to far from the main Irkutsk attractions and sites worth to visit. To get to the airport you need 10-15 minutes on car. The railway station is located on the opposite river bank, about 2 kilometers from hotel. The hotel... More
