Tygyn Darkhan

I stayed in the hotel only one night and also had dinner. It was very cold outside -38 degrees, but the hotel was nice and warm. The people were very friendly and the food very good.||We were a group of people of Neryungriugol and passing through. The staff was very friendly and even made us a "take away" breakfast because we had to catch an early plane the next morning. The dinner was very local and new to me but excellent.

This is larger and grander than the Hotel Sterh, with more facilities (though the pool was only open until 11am so I didn't get to use it), but most importantly for me had a better bed with better quality, white bed linen. The staff at the front desk all spoke English and were really friendly and helpful. It might be worth getting them to book a taxi to collect from Yakutsk airport, as when I arrived and just got one off the street it cost 1000 roubles, but when I booked my return journey to the airport from the hotel it was 250... There were still the water issues (running black / brown / sometimes not at all - though that is common, and generally it was OK). I would stay here again if going back.

Hi, Stayed here in August 2015, in suite 401, hotel is fine, very clean, beds good, bathroom very spacious and with a mini bar and sofa's in the lounge it was very comfortable.||We had breakfast included, which was basic, but made a lot better by having eggs cooked sunny side up by the chef. Thought they could do with a toaster in the restaurant, the restaurant staff didn't speak a lot of english and couldn't understand toast? we had our eggs on fried bread every morning, whilst nice on the first day, got a little bit worrying by the 4th, on a health basis! would have been nice to have toast!||The reception staff were very friendly and helpful, helping us print off our boarding passes, speaking good english also!||The hotel is central for all amenities, the city centre was in walking distance and the museums weren't to far away. You must visit the perma frost museum and mammoth museum, absolutely amazing! The diamond/Gold museum is right next door, located in the conference centre, brilliant! ||One amazing thing though.... walk in the bathroom at night with the lights off.... the grout between the tiles glows!!! A lovely site.

I have spent three nights in the Tygyn Darkhan hotel during a business Trip in March. Yakutsk is not very big, hence I found the location to be appropriate. If you turn right once you leave the hotel, at the end of the street you will be able to find a nice pub and a very nice restaurant (that makes delicious deer and horse steaks!). ||||The receptionist all speak good English - which I personally find quite uncommon, hence I was pleasantly surprised. ||||The size of my room was not massive, yet quite cozy. I was impressed as - besides the usual shampoo and conditioners - there was a razor kit, a shoe polish kit, and a dental kit. Outside the weather was minus 29 but inside was rather hot! ||||The only thing I personally found disappointing was the breakfast. There wasn't much and I think it could have been made more "international". But besides that, I had an overall nice experience.

We spent three nights here before joining a cruise down the Lena river to Tiksi and back. The staff at Reception were friendly, helpful and efficient. We were made to feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble for the receptionists. Our bedroom was comfortable and the bathroom well lit. The wifi worked perfectly throughout our stay. The hotel's central location is brilliant for sightseeing and museums.

Stayed at the hotel for five nights. It became like a second home to me. The heating is on and it was really hot in my room, so I had to open a window every night in order to sleep. Yes, it is old and eventually it needs to be renovated, It gives a feeling of an old good Soviet hotel, however a large pool area, which is opened at 6.00 every morning is a huge asset. The hotel has a special charm, but I must say that the restaurant downstairs have seen its best days when it comes to new thinking, so I suggest you wonder into the city and discover other places too.||The staff is extremely friendly, very service-minded. The guests are certainly well taken care of. Breakfast buffet allows a variety of choices, which is very good for the travelers visiting this region for the first time. Wi-Fi was fastest ever...

I stayed 2 nights at the Tygyn Darkhan at the beginning of a road trip down the Kolyma Highway to Magadan and it served my needs well with just a few mis-steps. Having flown overnight from Moscow on a fairly uncomfortable flight and then had to call up a local agent about a forgotten airport pick up it was lovely to be warmly greeted by the English speaking receptionist who immediately checked me in in spite of it being many hours before the official check in time. She even gave me a voucher and insisted that I head straight to the breakfast room where there was 30 minutes to go before the meal finished. What she neglected to tell me was that the early check in and breakfast came at a fairly substantial cost that was only apparent when I checked out and later discovered an unknown charge of US$42 on the final receipt. If she had asked I would probably have gladly paid that amount for coffee, a hot shower and somewhere to sit down but it would have been nice to have been asked.|||| My room was very good with separate living room and bedroom. It had very high ceilings providing a spacious feel. The bedroom had single beds pushed together and made up as a very comfortable queen. The living room had a desk, sofa, 2 chairs, fridge and kettle with tea making stuff. There were flat screen TVs in both rooms and big windows providing lots of light. That may have been more welcome in the short daylight hours of winter rather than at the 3.30am sunrise of July but it beats a dark room hands down at any time of year. ||||The bathroom was pretty standard with a shower over a tub and great water pressure but the hot water was a bit capricious alternating hot and tepid at a cycle all its own. The toweling robe was a nice and useful touch. ||||There was excellent in room wifi with a stable and fast connection that was strong enough for video calls. My room and the hotel in general was very quiet through out the stay.||||Breakfast was pretty sub-par. Not many choices and only small amounts of those that were provided. There was only instant coffee. ||||Overall, the Tygyn Darkhan is a good choice especially for English-speakers. Two receptionists spoke excellent English and were pro-actively helpful and the central location near the main square is good for most local amenities and attractions.

Stayed 3 night. Many problems. Check in was OK but they take some time with one's passport which I don't like. I'd rather not let it out of my sight. Reception staff spoke English, which was nice. ||||Rooms are old, beds are mushy, no desk, limited power outlets. Reasonably clean, but everything is old and very worn. Wifi didn't work at all in the first room, worked OK after I changed rooms. 2nd day WIFI was totally off for several hours.||||No signs of a gym where it was supposed to be.||||Breakfast is served only at strict "hours" starting at 7am which obviously is convenient for the staff but not the customers. I asked for early breakfast and the answer was emphatically "NO". When I went in to the restaurant there were people in there, and when I insisted on service finally got it, and by 6:30 am there were 9 people in the restaurant. Clearly they need to reconsider the breakfast hours!!!! ||||Hotel entrance is up several steps. Why can't entrances be "on grade" for those with luggage?||||I don't know if there's something better in Yakutsk, but I'll try another place next time.
