Yakovlev` Hotel ★★

"We stayed at the hotel for one night, choosing it for its convenient location. Check-in was quick, and the front desk staff was very helpful—not every hotel with a higher standard and price point greets its guests like this. They recommended places to visit, and we needed to print out our reservation (they also helped with that). We had an early checkout, so they offered us a takeaway breakfast. The downside: the tram is nearby, so it's noisy during the day, but we only stayed one night, so everything was fine."

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!"

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 location isn't far from the 130 Food Street, but it feels a bit out of the way. The sign said "renovated in 2022," so I thought it would be very new, but it seems only a small part was renovated. The price of 500 seems unreasonable."
