I booked a room overlooking Lake Baikal & I wasn't disappointed ! The view was superb. These room itself was pretty small but that's ok, since it would be easier to keep warm. However, the heating in the room was inadequate it was quite chilly in the room, even with the radiator cranked up to 5.
The bed was comfy with warm duvets, which somewhat compensated for the lack of adequate heating.
The hotel is located by the main road to Listvyanka village. Listvyanka is a picturesque village at the south west end of Lake Baikal......
It's about 3-3.5km from the hotel to the village center & along the way there are several interesting museums, cafes, restaurants & of course the lake itself.
