Hotels With Wifi in Irkutsk Oblast, Russia

The location is good; there are bus stops right outside and across the street (though communication is difficult and you don't need to take them). A taxi from the airport should cost around 600 rubles (don't let drivers quote a price or use the meter; they overcharged me over 2000 rubles on my first day!). When I first arrived, I felt it was quite unfair; from the front desk to the restaurant, not a single staff member was willing to help me get change. It was only thanks to a Chinese person in the lobby that I received assistance! Later, when I dined at the restaurant, they still gave me change! The hotel's cleanliness and room layout were quite good, but there was always only one set of toiletries. If you called the front desk, they would quickly bring more. Perhaps it's a difference in environmental awareness. The service was acceptable, and the breakfast was excellent!

Very clean and well equipped, this price of the youth travel is very good in Russia. And the heating is particularly sufficient, and the bath is more than 20 degrees below zero in winter.

A taxi to the hotel was already 6:30 pm. There was no waiter reception at the entrance, and a few luggage was pushed by themselves. Arrived on the floor, no lights were on, very dim. The room is OK, in fact, it is an executive suite, it is a bit too much to call a presidential suite. The living room and bathroom have heating, the room is not open, you have to open it yourself.

It was very convenient for us. We stayed for half a day, and they gave us a couple of hours' early check-in before check-in time, which saved us when we were falling asleep from an overnight flight. Thanks to them. The restaurant on the ground floor serves delicious food, and you can go there without even getting dressed.

We really loved the hotel; it felt like we were visiting relatives in the countryside. The hotel is a historic building, with a courtyard decorated with garlands and tables. Floor-to-ceiling windows allow you to enjoy breakfast and lunch while looking out over this beautiful setting. Most importantly, almost everything in the hotel is genuine vintage, not refurbished or ”antique.” So if comfort and state-of-the-art plumbing are your top priorities, you'll want to stay somewhere else, a comfortable but impersonal hotel. We really liked the room's interior, and the hotel has very high ceilings, so you don't feel like you're in a small cage. The bed linen was fresh and clean—white stripe satin—and the room overall was so clean that I felt like I could walk barefoot on the wooden floors, which is something I rarely do. Yes, the hotel is very noisy, but it didn't bother us, perhaps because we were lucky with our neighbors. The hotel staff deserves special thanks: they checked us in much earlier, allowing us to rest after the journey, and they were very responsive to all our requests and questions. If we ever return to Irkutsk, we'll most likely return here again.

The hotel is suitable for those who just need a place to sleep; the price-quality ratio is decent. The room was cool, although the radiators were hot. The duvet on the double bed was small and thin. Breakfast starts a bit late, at 8 a.m., but they accommodated us and served us an early breakfast because we were rushing to catch a train.

Knowing the quality of service of the lodges on Lake Baikal, the hotel exceeded my expectations. The hotel is located a little away from Khuzhir, overlooking the famous rock of Olkhon Island (popularly called the picture). Externally, the houses look like a children's camp)), the rooms inside are quite comfortable. There is a swimming pool on site and a free sauna nearby. Considering the cold water of Baikal, warming up and taking a dip in the sauna is great. The restaurant's food is delicious, but the prices are a bit expensive, but the breakfast is a gorgeous buffet, everything is delicious!

The island is a wooden homestay, this is relatively new, and it is still expanding. The sound insulation effect of the room is basically zero. On the first day, someone played songs in the early morning, and it was too noisy to count, because the front desk was not 24 hours, plus the language was not available, and the squat could bear it. There is no active room service here. Unlike in China, she needs to tell the boss that she will send someone to deal with it. There is no wifi in the room, I don't know if the boss deliberately did it. Breakfast is more general, anyway, I don't like it very much, walk to Shaman Rock for more than 20 minutes, you can swim in the lake.

The island is mostly filled with guesthouses like these, with shared bathrooms and showers, owners who speak English, good natural scenery, and decent locations. I heard that to protect the island's environment, large-scale hotel construction is not allowed, so almost all the accommodations on the island are of this type.
