Hotels With WiFi in Irkutsk Oblast, Russia

After leaving the island, I checked into the Courtyard by Marriott again, finally back in a modern city. The hotel thoughtfully prepared a birthday cake for me, and handsome men and beautiful women sang ”Happy Birthday” to me—I was so touched! I explored the area around the hotel more thoroughly this time. It's a 10-minute walk to Kirov Square, 25 minutes to the fashion street for shopping, and a taxi ride costs 20-30 euros, or 40-45 euros to the airport—very convenient. I met a lovely receptionist who spoke Chinese, and another girl with black hair and glasses; although they didn't speak Chinese, their service was superb! This is definitely my top recommendation in Irkutsk.

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.

1. Good location: The location is very good, just in the city center, it is convenient to go anywhere, and it is very convenient to take the bus. 2. Convenient communication: the front desk lady can speak English, communication is smooth, the hotel seems to have a Chinese Russian student living for a long time. 3. Breakfast: Check-in will give you a menu, check what you want to eat, all made in the kitchen the next day, taste very good, recommend boiled eggs. 4. Environment: Although in the city center, it is very quiet on a street with basically no traffic, but the hotel is not very soundproof.

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.

Except that it is a bit far away from Huzhir Village and Shaman Rock, everything else is pretty good. The breakfast is great. I want to try the handmade yogurt and honey. There is a shuttle bus that can take you to the village.

This little cabin is absolutely gorgeous, super super nice! Picture one shows the entrance at dusk 🌆 Most importantly, the location is fantastic, very close to the island's largest shop, just a few hundred meters away. It's about a 20-minute walk to Shaman Rock, and a 10-15 minute walk to the lake from the exit (turn left) along a charming wooden path (picture two). The breakfast is also quite delicious, and it changes daily. There's a TV in the hotel; the local channel is very interesting 👍🏻

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.
