Hotels near Babr Irkutsk Symbol, Irkutsk

This hotel offers an excellent stay experience. The rooms are clean, tidy and well-ventilated with cosy bedding. The staff are warm and considerate. Boasting a prime location and great value for money, it is highly recommended!

The environment is very good, the front desk is 24h, but there is a little location to come in. In fact, the decoration looks very good at the door of the store. It is recommended that the merchant treat the pine nut pattern as a trademark, because the phone will not speak Russian... You can find it yourself. There are two bathrooms and two sinks on the second floor. The heating is also sufficient. The third floor is a large restaurant where you can cook. The decoration is very good, simple and advanced. The mattress is too soft. I feel like I have been beaten when I wake up.

The room was relatively clean, but small. It was easy to find by taxi, and there's a delicious Russian restaurant next door (Figure 2). It's close to attractions and the city center, and the neighborhood is quiet. It's best to ask for a ground-floor room when checking in, as there will be a lot of pedestrian traffic. The hotel can provide proof of residency.

We stayed twice (October 6, 2025 and October 17, 2025). The location is excellent—close to the airport and no road noise. Wonderful, helpful staff—from reception to room service from the restaurant. The breakfasts are wonderful, in a cozy restaurant. The food at the Okhotnikov restaurant is a whole other story! Huge portions, delicious food...and, for especially picky little guests, they even prepare porridge, mashed potatoes, and salad. 🙏 I'm very grateful to the staff! Any request I make by calling reception is fulfilled immediately, without long waits—both from the maid and from the restaurant. Thank you for your work! I won't look for other options anymore; we will only stay at Zvezda. 🫶🏻

I really loved this hotel! It was clean, cozy, and modern. The room was excellent and had everything you could need (dental kit, bathrobes, safe...). The dispensers in the bathroom were very convenient! 👍 The breakfast was superb! The food (from the main menu) and service in the restaurant were wonderful. The staff were also very friendly and customer-oriented! All in all, a solid 5 stars!

I stayed in an executive room, initially for two days and then extended for another five, for a total of seven days. Overall, the stay was good. I'll focus on the downsides for the five days; I'll share the positives for the two days later. 1. The front desk staff's English was very poor. 2. The food was also terrible. Luckily, I didn't book a room with breakfast included; buying breakfast separately for 1250 RUB is a huge rip-off, even for someone used to Western food. Turn left after exiting the hotel, then turn left again, and walk 200 meters. There's a More Coffee there; the coffee and baked goods are excellent, making it more suitable for breakfast, provided you're used to Western-style breakfasts.

The hotel's location is incredibly convenient, with both buses and marshrutkas stopping right in front. There's no need to call a taxi; you can simply take the #80 bus to the airport. After shopping at the Central Market, I found it very helpful to catch the #425 marshrutka, which also stops directly outside the hotel. From Kirov Square, near the hotel, you can even take a tram that goes all the way to the 130 Kvartal area. Kirov Square also features a charming log cabin that serves as a tourist information center. Right next door to the hotel, to the north, there's a 24-hour supermarket, which was perfect for picking up souvenirs.

The location is very good, outside is the most prosperous 130 style street in the city, there are a lot of food, there is a double bed in the room, there is a double bed in the attic above, can live 4 people.

When I booked the room, I was sure there would be a private restroom and shower, but upon check-in, I discovered the facilities were shared. Please note this! It's very important to me that the facilities are private, so if this is also critical for you, I don't recommend this hotel (hostel). Another thing that bothered me was that the doors to the common areas don't lock at night, meaning anyone can come in. The common doors leading from the elevator also don't have any kind of combination lock. The management said there were cameras everywhere, but for me personally, cameras can't stop me from doing something while I'm in the act; they can be used in court after the fact. So, this detail also caused me discomfort. Otherwise, everything was fine: clean, conveniently located, nice courtyard, and we booked through the app without any additional paperwork or passport scans.

We stayed for a couple of hours between flights. The room was right by the entrance, it was cool, and smelled strongly of cigarettes. We could also hear someone ringing the doorbell and entering and exiting the hotel.
