Overall Rating

Not enough customers have reviewed this property for us to provide a fair rating but don't worry, we'll have a rating soon.

Located in the centre of the touristy area of Irkutsk, International Friendship Hostel-club is a great place for meeting, sharing experiences, exploring Russian culture and having fun!

Our hostel represents a typical apartment of the Soviet times. We made an attempt to reconstitute 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.

Our primary goal is to make your time in our hostel cheerful and entertaining. We organize subject parties on a regular basis, as well as open air games, interesting discussions with locals, music sessions, master-classes in cooking Russian traditional dishes and much more!

Two bedrooms with bunk beds and big living room for chilling out are at your disposal.
