Great location just off Karla Marx, the main street and close to the marketplace. Two of the desk clerks were fantastic, explaining how to get around, sites to see, restaurants etc. The third one was a real sourpuss but as they say, "Two out of three ain't bad." The rooms were large and airy...and quiet. After 3 days on the... More

Mixed feelings about this hotel, which seems to have an identity crisis as inside the signs say Victory hotel and I have seen reviews for the Victory, Victoria, Viktorya all being this very same establishment. Not 3 star, even by Russian standards; standard bedrooms are small with a cramped bathroom - more like an average 1 or maybe 2 star.... More

This hotel was a nice stop on our way from Moscow to Beijing by train. It's right in the center. We stayed here for two nights in standard plus room. The room was ok but we did here voices from other rooms and specially the water pipes were a bit noisy. We came really early in the mornig but we... More

I would rate the place a solid Two Stars, rather than three. It was comfortable enough, and the location is great for exploring, but the breakfast was pretty average (even if it was made to order) and the room was shabby and tired. The walls were so thin we could hear the guy in the next room talking on the... More

The best thing about this hotel was it's location. It seemed to be right in the middle of Irkutsk, at least the parts that we saw. The women at the front desk are not very helpful...one gave us the wrong bus time table and we ended up getting up an hour too early because of it. Also, the restaurant recommendations... More

After 4 days on the train, this place was great for a stopover, beds were a bit springy but clean and tidy, wifi available, breakfast was in basement, continental, but given option from card and served rather than help yourself.  Location was great and on main street not far from Market or train station. however the hotel inspector would have...

The location is central, pretty close to everything in Irkutsk. The hotel does look pretty ugly from the outside but once you see the rooms the impression changes. Nicely decorated with old style furniture (be aware that some of the pieces are valuable so there is a big fine for damaging it :) ), clean and well equiped. Certainly good... More

If you come here with your expectation sky-high, you will be disappointed, the hotel is located a block away from Irkutsk main throughfare, the building is ugly, one huge concrete block with windows right next to an empty parking lot and there were stray dogs at the entrance. On the other hand, if you come here with no expectation at... More

The Victoria is smack in the centre of Irkutsk so no complaints. The staff are friendly & helpful with reasonable English. My room was a bit old fashioned but comfortable enough. It's OK for a couple of nights as a stop-over on the TRans-Siberian Express.
