We started our November Siberia trip in Ulan Ude and the Geser Hotel was the first stop. During two days in the hotel, I believe we were one of the handful of guests staying at this hotel. The room we stayed at reminded me of my old student house; a large water boiler and exposed plumbing in the bathroom, a... More

We stayed here as part of our Trans-Manchurian train trip. Close to the railway station (which is handy when you're trying to walk in snow and ice), and nice warm rooms that were comfortable and warm. The staff were professional, and helpful. I was very impressed with the room, it was a bit tired but perfectly adequate and clean with... More

The hotel is only a hop, step and jump from the railway station and is handy for Ulan-Ude town centre. The hotel has a gym and the breakfasts are pretty good. The wifi works everywhere in the hotel (not something that always happens in Russia). The staff are pretty clued up about helping tourists. All-in-all its a value for money... More

On my previous visit, I stayed at the Hotel Ayan which was less expensive than the Geser (as another reviewer has commented, Ulan Ude is not a cheap place to spend any time in). Although comfortable,... More

Four of us stayed for nine nights whilst working on a project in Ulan Ude. The rooms were of a reasonable size, the shower and bath worked . There were the odd bits of plaster or tile missing in the corners of the bathroom and the bath looked a bit tired but I don't find that unusual in Russia .... More

It was our second trip to Ulan-Ude, and first time we stayed in their best hotel Baikal Plaza. But we didn't like it and so decided to choose another hotel for our next visit. So what can I say... The ambience, lobby and breakfasts are awful - 2 stars at best (in Baikal Plaza these were much better). But the... More
