Nice and convenient for the train station. Dasha is SO lovely and welcoming. It felt like being at home when I arrived. It's small, which is good as there's only one bathroom (common in Russia of course) and has a nice kitchen and dining area. Supermarkets nearby but ATMs are in town I think. The other staff can leave you... More

OK hostel, although felt more like a homestay, as it only has one small dorm, and the family are also living there some of the time. Dasha is absolutely lovely, but the other lady who works there is seriously scary! Very handy for the train station.

We just got done with a two night stay at transib, these guys are awesome, the first day we got there we woke up poor Yara, who was extremely sleepy and still managed to be polite and accommodating. As the day wore on we ended up befriending Yara, she showed us some of her awesome artwork. That night we got... More

I enjoyed my stay at Trans- Sib although I thought the owner (Anton )was a pig of a man, extremely moody, unfriendly and totally arrogant. Must have caught him on a bad day. His wife (Dasha)is a gorgeous person along with the other staff. They were all so friendly except Anton, so keep your distance from him, he's NOT a... More

Anton and Dasha run this small B&B. Its like a home. It was clean and warm, and felt very easy to be in. Very conveniently located 10 minutes walk from the train station, its a 15 minute walk to the heart of town, or catch a tram. The hostel has the conveniences of home, and probably should be given that... More

I stayed here for 3 nights during my Trans Mongolian journey from Beijing. After being on the train for a few days it was lovely to arrive in a clean hostel, with a modern bathroom. Getting to have a shower and do my washing was great. Free internet and wi fi. Visa registration. 2 tram stops to the city (just... More

Great little hostel, close to the rail station for Trans siberian travellers. Very clean, brilliant bathroom and shower (very welcome after the train), comfy beds and helpful english speaking operators/ owners who are very keen to be even better. Great advice and tips for travellers available at the desk. Also close to local buses to transfer to Lake Baikal bus.... More

This hostel is so close to the railway and relatively close to the centre of town. We arrived early morning, dumped our bags and headed to Lake Baikal, an absolute must-see if you have time. The hostel itself is family run and cosy. We booked the private room, which was pretty basic but relaxing after a long train trip. Great... More

We arrived late from a trip to Lake Baikal and had a warm welcome. We spent only one night here. We stayed in a double room. Despite the lack of windows, the heating that was on (very normal in Russian buildings) and the noise of the street, we slept very well and long. The bathroom was enormous. There was a... More
