Baikal Trail Hostel

Eastern Siberia


Run by the younger generation of the Maryasov family in their own flat, SB's original hostel is now reduced to a three-bed homestay. Kitchen, washing machine and a communal climbing wall are at visitors' disposal. It’s one of the best places in town to arrange back-country treks and trips into the wilds around the northern end of Lake Baikal.

If it is full, they can point you towards other hostels in town.
