Great location, easy to find from the train station, may a 15 easy walk across the scenic bridge. I cannot say enough about the front desk staff, they were all great with helpful suggestions and any questions asked. I have to single out Anastasia for being incredibly helpful with getting my train ticket printed, but again they were all awesome. I had one very good meal in the restaurant. My room was very clean and super quite, the hotel seems to be brand new, everything was top notch. I really enjoyed Irkutsk, the staff at the Ibis are representatives of the warmth you get from the locals in that city.
