People are generous even though they do not speak English but body language and willingness show. I feel like I am at home. I will recommend this place to friends and definitely go back when summer time.

Irkutsk has many typical Siberian wooden houses (there's no need to stop in Tomsk for them), the river is very cool. Haven't been around much, since I headed directly to the Olkhon island :) but it felt like a good city to explore. Just, public transportation looks like a random thing: it's the only place in Russia where I had to get a taxi because the bus did not pass or the stop were somewhere else (it might be Google's maps fault but also the locals seemed not knowing how to manage to go from place to place). Having time, the solution was Tram 1 and the walk :)

Irkutsk is a very busy city, has some nice museums and parks and is close to Lake Baikal. It still has many of the old wooden architecture buildings. As with all Russian cities, I recommend knowing a little Russian.

It is an interesting town with lots of history and is known as the "Paris of Siberia." It was not a pleasant experience for us as we were overcharged 4 times the price for the taxi fare from the train station. It is better to get somebody to phone and book a taxi. At other times we used the trams and buses so as to avoid them. People were not helpful because of the language difficulties. We did not feel welcome there.

nice and very clean and apparently also safe city, nice walks along the river Angara in the evening, nice park, well ordered and interesting city. The new shopping area around district 130 is a bit too commercial but interesting from a social point of view

The taxi driver at the train station asked for 1000 rubles when arriving at our hotel; however, the staff at the hotel told us it just costs no more than 200. Remember to ask the price when getting in the taxi! There are so many places that you can visit in Irkutsk. You can walk around the city and along the river casually, or you can visit Olkhon Island and Listvyanka. Taking a circum Baikal train is nice, too.
“Rolling Stones hostel is the perfect place to stay in Irkutsk. Tony was amazingly helpful, bathrooms are clean, capsule dorms are superb. Everything from the design, to the vibe at the place, chilled out, relaxed. Loved it to bits. Tony was at the hostel 24 hours for any help we needed, arranged for taxi, guided with route planning, he says no to nothing. Thank you my friend and wish you the best. ”
“Free shuttle services from the airport and to the train station. The driver didn't accept tip. The manager responds fast via e-mail, so communicating by phone is unnecessary.”
“Without doubt one of the favorite hotels we stayed during our time in Russia! Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by the staff and manager. The staff was extremely friendly. We had two great evenings here, which obviously also added up to the experience.
The atmosphere is so special that it really felt like home to me. All respect to manager who does a great job here; a true sample of excellent hospitality!”
“Location is great, close to citycenter, church and theaters. Hotel is new and there is no soviet style problems like unpleasant stuff and old bad smelling rooms. You can buy paintings which hang on the walls on reception.”
