Highlights of AZIMUT Airport Hotel, Irkutsk

Next to the airport terminals

The hotel stands across the road from the airport and is described as within walking distance of the domestic and international terminals. That makes it practical for an early flight or a late arrival, when a taxi to the centre would eat into your sleep. Check the walking route from the terminal to the entrance before you arrive, especially in winter.

Tip: Ask the hotel for walking directions from the terminal if you arrive with luggage.

About 15 minutes from the centre

The hotel lies roughly 15 minutes by road from the historic centre of Irkutsk, according to the hotel's description, depending on traffic. That makes it possible to visit the old town in the evening before an early flight. In rush hours the journey can take longer, so allow extra time.

Tip: Allow extra time for the drive in the morning and evening rush hours.

Breakfast and restaurant

The hotel is described as having a restaurant with a buffet breakfast, which suits early departures. Opening times and menus were not verified. If you leave very early, ask whether breakfast can be packed or served early.

Tip: Use the hotel for the first or last night and sleep near the lake in between.
