    Nothing

    The host (Gulnara) was really accommodating and friendly, and she speaks english that made our stay even more better. The house was clean and comfortable. It is a small apartment converted into hostel, so you could hear every movement but it’s not an issue at all for us. The space in the room is quite big. If you’re on a travel budget and into hostels, then this is for you. It’s also located in the center of the city.Near the malls, parks, Gobus stops, and famous tourist spots. We went back there after our 3days hike in karakol for another night stay. We really did feel at home.

They also let us check in early which was very nice of them!

    Wifi not available during daytime

    We arrived at the hotel early morning at 9 am before the check in time allowed, but the owner has been really kind to us by allowing us to check in the morning. Location is good across the big shopping mall in the city centre. The room is good for short staying in Bishkek, but you have to be careful for not making too much noise while being in the room, as the wall is thin. Wifi does not work during the day, only available during the night.

    The owner of House was very attentive, she helped with us everything. She explained the route and helped with the planning. It feels like a blessing in Krygistan to find someone who speaks English. The house is at very center located, easy to get around. And it was also clean

    AirBnB style hostel. Great location, in the city centre and there's a shopping mall nearby that sells sim card. Friendly & very helpful host, and she also helped me in booking transport including pick up from airport.

    The private room is very small and it's next to the kitchen. We could hear everything in the kitchen especially when someone used the microwave multiple times at 3 in the morning.

    Good location, shopping malls and supermarkets nearby. The host is nice and helpful.

    Gulnura was a perfect host. So smiling, helpful and nice. She gave us loads of information and suggestions on what to do, not just in Bishkek, but in whole Kyrgyzstan. We enjoyed our time here very much. And we returned again in the end of our trip - and that felt like returning home :-) Kitchen is super and beds are comfy. The location is just in the middle of everything!
