  Downtown Hostel Reviews

 Catherine Stretch  -  16 November 2009

Very friendly staff, and a warm and spacious hostel made me feel very comfortable. Minivan pickup from front door for Olkhon Island aswell. Mini mart opposite building, across road. A member of staff twice took my girlfriend to the dentist as she needed urgent treatment, and acted as a translator. Very cool.

 Customer Review  -  5 October 2009

It's a nice hostel with everything you could need (although the breakfast is poor), although they are a little over-keen to make extra money from you by charging for internet, getting travel tickets etc. Even so far as to lie to you, saying that the minivans booked through them will take you to Olkhon Island quicker than normal ones, when in reality they are the normal ones and you're paying 200 roubles extra for the privilege of being driven to the bus station and sitting there for over an hour. Also saying that there were no trams running early in the morning, when there were loads, so that they could charge for booking a taxi wasn't appreciated! But if you can avoid this silly money-grabbing policy it really is a nice hostel to stay at.

 Outi Leinonen  -  25 September 2009

Atmosphere was really nice. It felt like home. Staff was nice. Shower was ok, but it can turn out to be quite busy. Also voice isolation is really poor. Every step someone takes in room next to your sounds like giant's jumps. Breakfast was nice :)

 Lusann Yang  -  1 September 2009

It was a wonderful stay! The hostel itself is small and somewhat cramped, but the facilities are clean and well-kept, the staff remarkably helpful (and English-speaking), and the fellow travelers friendly. :)

 Richard Lodge  -  12 July 2009

Downtown Hostel is a perfect place to stay if planning to visit Irkutsk. Located within the city centre and only a walk away from the train station. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this to anyone planning a stay in Irkutsk.

 Customer Review  -  19 June 2009

The location is pretty good, but it can be a bit difficult to find at first. The area is not the best at night and make sure that you check your migration card before you left to make sure that they give you the correct one back.

 Sarah Roberts  -  15 June 2009

Fun place and great location. I did ask for pick up from train as advertised but they didn't do this due to me arriving at 6am however it is really easy to get to

 Customer Review  -  1 February 2009

Great place to start tours to lake Baikal. Hostel is very small (2 rooms) with only one bathroom. Nice place, nice helpful stuff but lockers would be great.

 Robert Sawyer  -  29 November 2008

This was a clean hostel and the staff were helpful. but there was no one at the hostel when we arived. be warned some of the beds are very hard and there was construction work going on in the building so lots of noise.

 Customer Review  -  25 September 2008

The location is very good and the people who stay there are very friendly but the staff there don't know about the local things.
