The Hostelz.com Review
Irkutsk is a pretty Siberian town with a classic feel thanks to the wooden architecture, and the Irkutsk Downtown Hostel hostel is centrally located to help you enjoy it.
The place is small, with only 10-12 beds total, but this isn't a major tourist town, so its size is adequate. The hostel is clean and cozy, with a very nice clean bathroom and lots of hot water to wash days worth of train smell off of you. On the downside, the beds are only mildly comfortable. They have a fully stocked, equipped kitchen with refrigerator, and a convenience store is located just outside.
The staff are extremely nice and helpful considering their limited English capabilities. They have quite a bit of information about tours of Irkutsk and Lake Baikal as well as travel info to the rest of Russia and Mongolia. City maps are given upon arrival with important places marked. Also supplied are luggage storage, handy for camping trips, and one internet terminal.
They will pick you up from the train station if you give advance notice. If you are one of the hardcore that makes it out to Siberia, you'll have a good time at this cozy place near the town river.

Hostelz.com Guest Reviews
This place was overpriced. the bed was extremely uncomfortable and there are only enough chairs for six people to be able to sit down at any one time. Considering they have twelve people staying it's not so good. We basically got turfed out at 9:30 when we went to buy train tickets. Got back and the bed's changed -- so much for 12 check out. Room was too small, would not recommend this place. So you get free tea, big deal. — Cran (2006-09-13) I heard from someone I met that this hostel was really great. I tried to stay here. It was hard enough to find for a start, and the temperature was minus 20 degrees. I rang and rang the doorbell, as I didn't know the entrance code, and no one ever came. After 30 minutes I was frozen and I went and paid loads of money to stay somewhere else. I tried to come back again the next day, and again I couldn't get in. I figured they'd closed for the winter or something. But then I met someone who was staying there. She confirmed that I was doing the right thing to try and get in, and she said it was unusual no one answered. Anyway, it was damn annoying! — Phillipa (2005-03-13) This place has a great location, great staff, friendly atmosphere, lots of information, and it's clean, etc. Stay here! — Pezza (2004-10-10)
