Located in the center of Irkutsk, International Friendship Hostel is a great place for rest, sharing experiences, exploring Siberian hospitality and having fun! The hostel has been renovated in 2010! Our hostel represents a typical apartment of the Soviet times. We made an attempt to reconstruct the atmosphere of the place where an ordinary family lived during the socialist era - authentic furniture, old books and newspapers, banners, pictures of Lenin and Stalin, photos of the Soviet people's life. We are sure that such a journey into the past will be an amazing and unforgettable adventure for you. Price: 600 RUB per night during summer season. We do organize parties, games, master-classes for all guests of our hostel free of charge. We do our best to make you feel like at home, not at hostel. Every Saturday night we play Mafia game! We do organize transfers to Olkhon Island and will be happy to give you all necessary information about trips to Baikal Lake, Buryatia and Olkhon Island.
