Baikalov Ostrog

Best property on the island with shoreline access, comfortable rooms, helpful staff and onsite dining.  Downside - it can accommodate large groups of tourists.  Short walk to lovely village coffee shop.  Russian cross country vehicles available for hire to Cape Khoboy - beautiful vista to mainland.  Enjoy the silence and beauty, that is why one comes here.

Beautiful cottages along Khuzhir shore

The Baikalov Ostrog Hotel definately has the potential for a 5* accommodation, if only...
- they wouldn't have saved on the matraces and supplied the beds with something more decent than 4 cm foam on a wooden box
- they would serve good quality food, instead of lowest quality canteen food.

The Baikalov Ostrog Hotel is located just outside the one and only village on the Olkhon island Khuzir. As far as I can rate, it is the best location of all available accommodation, as it is close enough to the village to walk into it (for some nosing around or some supplies in the shop), but still has a direct lakeside position with unbelievably great views of the lake and the opposite mountain range.

Clearly somebody has put some thought into the layout of the hotel. It consists of numerous full-wooden houses with a stunning restaurant building with floor-to-ceiling windows and the most amazing view for a restaurant building you could conjure up. The hotel complex is also fitted with two nicley wind-protected swimming pools, two sundecks and direct easy access to the lake shore for a duck in the lake, if you dare.
On arriving I thought I was going to have the best time ever.
WIFI is only available in the main restaurant building, the rooms itself do not offer WIFI access.

Unfortunately what they might good on the layout and design of the complex, they managed to mess up with sleeping quality and food.
The bed consists of a wooden box with a very meager foam matrace laid out on top of it. Comfortable is definately something different. Luckily I was staying in one of th Lux rooms, which are also fitted with a bed sofa, from the second nicht onward, I opted for this choice.

The second real downturn of the facility was the food. The restaurant unfortunately does not operate on a restaurant scheme, but on a russian canteen food of the worst choice. You are supplied with little stamps for breakfast, lunch and dinner, whcih need to be handed in, in order to get your meal ration assigned.
The quality of the food was appaling, never was there anything like fresh fruit supplied and always were the cheapest ingredients used. In terms of choice there were two options, take it or leave it.
I had ordered a vegetarian meal option, which was not catered for. Instead I was offered stone cold pasta with a pre-packaged sauce.
Hence on the second night, I asked for the restaurant menu (about its existence you can only find it by reading the flyers at the recepetion desk (4 buildings away). According to published information the restaurant works until 30.09.2016. Nevertheless on 14.09. I was told the restaurant does not work.
Only after having an argument, the staff agreed to prepare some plain vegetables for me.

What a shame, the location and infrastructure holds a lot of potential, but it's currently not fully used.

Potential for a 5* accommodation, if only ...

I do not think there are many choices of decent Hotel in the town, this is amongst the biggest Hotels available, but it was disappointing. Service was bad, the rooms were small and clumsy and the food offered was worst. The place offers good view and is at very nice place, but the Resort was the worst choice. I cannot think of one thing good about the Hotel except for its location

Disappointing

We went to the restaurant of this place while we've been on a walk. The place looked very nice, view from the restaurant was just stunning. Hungry as we were we ordered some food, keen to get something to eat. And it was awful! My dumplings were overcooked, the beef tounge my companion had was very dry on the other hand. Worst food we've had on the island but the most expensive as well. Do not bother eating there.

Horrible food quality

Dirty room full of dead Bugs, more than 30.
Personnel with zero english knowledge and willingness to help. We has tocado fight them to get the room clean
Horrible beds . 4 cm foam over a Wood box.
Junk and expensive food at the restaurant.
 
The island is really nice, but go to a different hotel, this will make you miserable.
