Yakovlev` Hotel

"The hotel is clean, the rooms are high and spacious, and the location is convenient, within walking distance of any attractions and the Central Market. However… however… however… the tram outside is terrifying! Every time it passes, the ground shakes and the thunderous roar scares me half to death. The last tram runs until midnight, and the first tram wakes me up at 4:20 AM, making it unsuitable for resting during a trip."

IRKUTSK CITY CENTER by Eastland

"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!"

Angara Hotel

"The hotel is dated and the facilities are somewhat outdated, but its excellent location in the city center is a major advantage. Attractions along the Angara River and the Central Market are within walking distance. There's a supermarket nearby, and numerous bus lines make transportation convenient. The return bus for the Angara Lake Railway Line A stops right in front of the hotel. English is spoken at the front desk."

Ibis Irkutsk Tsentr Hotel

"Excellent breakfasts (buffet) for 750 rubles per person. The standard room is a bit cramped for two. The stated bottle of water, toothpaste, and comb were not there. There is a water cooler on the floor, you can order food from the restaurant to your room, it will be delivered to your room for +10% on your check. There were no face towels, there were disposable slippers, a safe, and a small refrigerator. Comfortable bed, room has different pillows to choose from"

Vozdushnaya Gavan

"This isn't my first time staying here. It's a 5-minute walk from the airport. The restaurant is open 24 hours. The prices are reasonable, typical for a canteen. Breakfast is buffet style from 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM. The room is clean, with crisp white sheets and towels. And the best part is that if you check in after midnight, you can check out before 6:00 PM instead of 12:00 PM, with no late checkout fee. Just let them know in advance."

"For its price, a very good hotel"

Katrin Hostel

"Traveling solo from China to Siberia, my short two-to-three-day stay with the hosts in Irkutsk was the warmest, most unexpected highlight of my entire trip. The host couple and their friends were incredibly genuine and friendly. Despite the language barrier, we communicated patiently using translation software, and there was absolutely no sense of distance. The accommodation was clean and warm, fully equipped with kitchenware and toiletries, offering an immersive experience of local daily life. The hosts proactively shared sightseeing routes for Lake Baikal, explained Siberian customs, and even gave me local specialty gifts. Their family warmly invited me to eat and chat with them, allowing me to genuinely experience the gentle warmth of ordinary Russian people. As my departure approached, I was very reluctant to leave. This homestay experience bypassed the typical tourist routines and allowed me to forge pure and sincere cross-cultural friendships. I highly recommend this local guesthouse to solo travelers; the value for money and overall experience far exceed that of a hotel."

Apartment House Listratova

"The hotel is located on a commercial street, making it very convenient. There are also many bus stops nearby. The hotel conditions are decent and worth the price."
