Founded in the mid-17th century as a winter quarters for traders and tax collectors, Irkutsk came to prominence in the 1800s. Participants in the Decembrist revolt against Tsar Nicholas I were exiled to Siberia in droves, turning Irkutsk into their cultural center. Today, it’s one of Siberia’s biggest and most important cities, with over half a million people, many universities, many historic churches and museums, and beautiful Lake Baikal, just about an hour away by train.

Like many other guests, we booked this place due to its good reviews and close location to the train station. Our room was very clean, as well as the kitchen and other communal areas. Staff was nice and helpful. There is an handy supermarket within 5 minutes walking distance and public transports are also available very closeby. Getting to town centre could take 10 minutes.

I booked this hotel because of the good average reviews. However, my own experiences were the worst I have ever had. The first thing I noticed was a very strong smell of chlorine in the bathroom. When this smell slowly vanished I realised the reason for using so much chlorine: the bathroom smelled terribly after canalisation. The cleaning was below average, was made just every third day. The breakfast was poor. Although advertised as a buffet, the choices were very limited and mostly carbs. There was an option to get a warm meal such as omelet though in addition to the "buffet". Although I booked this hotel for my entire stay, I left after the first terrible four days and eventually moved into another hotel of much better quality and more central location at a comparable cost. The only positive thing about 7 dorog was that I got my refund frictionless.

New and modern hotel located in the historic and cultural center of the city of Irkutsk.Suits perfectly for business travelers as well as for family vacations of both foreign and domestik guests, The hotel has its own quiet private territory closed from the city noise and offers 24-hour room service, lobby bar and restaurant.
Very good location in the city center not far from the airport, friendly atmosphere and good breakfast. The only issue that we ordered a taxi from the airport to hotel but they didn’t come due to some issues in the car and they didn’t inform us in advance after calling we knew about this issue so we ordered by ourselves but in general it’s good hotel.

For my vacation at Lake Baikal I searched for a typical wooden hut. This hotel near the Angara river has some of them for one or two person occupancy. I was there as a single person. The hut is really cosy. Nice and large bed, shower in a separate room, warm water, electrical and adjustable heating, acceptable WLAN access and table and chairs for two people. All together what I looked for. Breakfast and dinner is close to all bungalows in a separate house. I was there begin of October. This is in off-season. Therefore I was 2 of the total 5 days the single guest in the hotel (!). But they cooked just for me. I had just to choose the menu the evening before to shorten the waiting time. The food was delicious and the service very friendly. Again, just for me! But you need some knowledge and phantasie to choose your menu, becaus nowbody there was able to speak some English. But try Google translator, it helps. Be aware that there is no other possibilty to eat close to your hut. To have a car is a must. I rented one with driver and guide for my whole stay. The big advantage of this place is that you are close to the Lake Baikal attractions but not in the middle of the crowd in Listvjanka. All together a nice and romantic Sibirian Experience.

Decent value for money. We stayed in the hotel when visiting Academy of Sciences, basically across the street, so it was quite practical. The location is not really great but the connection to the city centre works very good. The hotel itself is indeed somewhat dilapidated and most western travellers will be disappointed (especially with breakfast), but it is a clean and cheap place, with friendly english-speaking service. If you need a uncomplicated sleeping base for few nights Akademicheskaya will do fine. Every some time there is no warm water - but this is general problem with supply in Irkutsk and not a specific problem of the hotel.

Comfortable beds. In the lobby there is a water cooler. You can also use the iron and ironing board at the reception. Nice staff, very friendly and always ready to help. Good location. Noisy. The walls are thin, plus heard through the door as talking to staff and guests of the hotel. Windows overlook the grounds of the kindergarten and day with an open window very noisy from the street. Traces of dead mosquitoes on the walls and ceiling is also not very encouraging. Bathroom tiny, shower doors do not converge until the end, so the water can fall on the floor.

الفندق يقع بالقرب من محطة السكة الحديد ومحطة الأتوبيس مباشرة إلى المطار. المدينة التاريخية ، من ناحية أخرى ، بعيدة إلى حد ما. الفندق نفسه كتلة من الشقق كلها مع مطابخها ووسائل الراحة الخاصة بها. الغرف جيدة وحميمة نوعا ما. وبشكل عام هذا مكان جيد مع نسبة جيدة مقابل المال
