Find Hotels in Buryatiya, Russia

We loved our time here, so much so we shelved our Ulan Ude plans and stayed am extra day. It's a sizeable property, still in the works, but not disruptively so. We were upgraded to one of their new blocks, which was beautifully constructed in pine, clean bathrooms and comfortable beds. We spent one evening in their private banya, searing hot but wonderfully refreshing. They have no meals, B&B or full board options. Meals are hearty and plentiful, and served in a room with a lovely view over the Baikal. We were the only guests for the first day, so think they were running with half staff. Meals were preset (although we noticed there were menus) and we weren't able to order drinks for dinner (but there were tea bags and hot water in the corner we helped ourselves to). In truth, it was helpful for us to not need to translate menus and we got a great dining experience. The hotel is a two minute walk down to the Baikal, and well situated for short hikes to the West following the shore. The staff were friendly, informative and ever so helpful, particularly Marina and Ekaterina, who went out of their way to sort out some visa registration issues we were having with our previous hotel.

I was only here for one night, but it was fine. The breakfast is terrific, in my opinion. As a vegetarian, I've had a rough time in Russia so far, but the buffet offered something for everyone. I was impressed. There was a snag at the beginning of my stay--I had lost my immigration card on the train--but the staff drove me to the administration office, and I was able to get a new one. There is a small store on the first floor of the hotel, which is nice for things like water and snacks. The train station and all of the main sights are just a ten/fifteen minute walk from the hotel.

You can see this from the pedestrian bridge over the train tracks. Easy to get to. Efficient check in. Leave you shoes at the door. The towel was hand towel size but did serve to dry off. Bed was comfortable. Toilet, shower and sink are all separate, so that although there was only one for the whole hostel, I never had a wait. Staff had no English so could not ask for tour info.

I booked this hotel with the price showed 700 RUB for 2 nights 4 people. We arrived at 7:30 in the morning to check in and found out that there was no booking. We showed her our booking but reception asked for it in Russian version. How could I have it?! So we had to paid for 2400 RUB (300 per night per person = 300x2x4= 2400) The hotel is a bit hard to find. The room we were staying had 3 bunk-beds which connected to another room with also had 3 bunk-beds with kitchen and toilet in the middle of these 2 rooms. there was no door between these 2 rooms so it was a bit noisy at night when everyone was together. The beds were comfortable enough. Toilet was a bit busy as there were 12 people but only 1 toilet. Hotel is located about 10 minutes walk to city centre with shopping malls and restaurants. 20 minutes to Main Bus station and 30 minutes to Ulan Ude train station.

Very near to the railway station so good for an overnight whilst waiting for train. The broken lock as mentioned in other reviews is not actually broken, its just there isn't a key, and they have no intention of replacing the lock. Suits them because i think they use it for "pay by the hour" guests, as it can be locked from the inside. I specifically requested a room that can be locked. They gave me room 77 the one with no key. I had to argue for a replacement room. Eventually she gave in and changed my room. No English spoken so the way they deal with issues is to shout louder and faster in Russian.... a bully tactic, don't be intimidated, the lady knows very well the issue. Y'all have nice stay now.
