Reviews of Zam Zam Hostel

All absolutely great. Brand new, super clean, good location.

Only 2 showers for many many beds.

Great staff, clean and comfy room, heaps of places to eat close by. 10/10

This hostel was great and we loved staying here! We got a private room and it was the perfect spot to recover from jet lag. The owner is really nice and let us rest in one of the dorm rooms until our room was ready as we got there really early from an overnight flight. The whole place is really clean, it has a well stocked kitchen, and great air con too which is essential in the summer. It’s also just across the road from a supermarket and close to some good food places. It’s about a 20 min walk to the centre, but you can easily grab a Yandex or a scooter for only a couple of dollars.

Nothing!

Very nice hostel with very friendly staff! We arrived at 6am and could immediately enter and access our room, which was great! When we needed a cooler for our travels, the staff helped us very quickly and smoothly. Finally, the hostel is overall very clean and on a nice location to discover Bishkek. Would recommend!

Very clean and nice, great host

Location.

Super Noisy. Staff.

- Excellent location - Nice and Clean - Supermarket nearby - Restaurant nearby Mr. Hamza who deals with guests, is a very cooperative and supportive young man.

Basic rooms, perfect for what we needed. Very clean, very comfortable beds and pillows, person at the reception was helpful and knew english. Very good value for money

The walls/doors are thin and you can hear people walking in the corridor or closing doors.

Khamza was a lovely host, great English and always happy to answer questions. There was a 24hr supermarket and good restaurants nearby. We didn't explore the surrounding area much but it was quick and very affordable by Western standards to call a Yandex. I slept very well, the beds were comfortable and the room not too hot. The design was simple and minimal but totally fine for this price range. Most importantly, everything was exceptionally clean. There was not too much noise from the other guests and a convenient kitchen. We booked private rooms

Nothing

Very clean, very close to city centre, very good administrator Khamza. Thanks

We liked Zam Zam Hostel so much that we came back for one more night before heading back to Almaty. Once again, Hamza saved the day this time helping us book our bus last minute. The hostel is clean, quiet, and well-located, with a 24/7 market right across the street and great food options nearby. It’s a chill, no-frills place that feels welcoming and organized. Highly recommend for backpackers or anyone looking for a reliable stay in Bishkek!

Perfect

Absolutely loved our stay at Zam Zam Hostel! We arrived in Bishkek with zero plans, and Hamza completely saved us , he helped plan our entire trip around Kyrgyzstan and gave us great local advice we wouldn’t have found online. The hostel itself is super clean, quiet, and feels very new. It’s in a great location with a 24/7 market right across the street and plenty of affordable local food nearby. You can easily walk to downtown and major sights like Ala-Too Square. The atmosphere is chill and welcoming, perfect for travelers looking for a good night’s rest without the party vibe. Definitely recommend it as a base in Bishkek and huge thanks again to Hamza for being such a kind and knowledgeable host!

Very friendly and informed receptionist. He always greeted me with a smile and helped wherever he could. Exceptionally clean for a hostel. Simple but functional private room with airconditioning (you will want that in Bishkek's spring & summer). Working wi-fi. Communal kitchen. Location at short walk from downtown area and all attractions. Also next to bus stops to go to the border or bus station (20 som). Supermarket across the street, eateries nearby.

Only thing I can think of is that it's a bit loud if people talk in the corridor. No towels in room or kitchen & bathroom & toilet to dry your hands after washing. And only 1 roll of toilet paper every day, which is finished by noon. Could put some extra. Otherwise, all good & recommended.

I was in Bishkek for only one night. I had one separate bedroom. Toilets and bathroom were shared. The hostel is confortable, clean and well located, with a great offer of restaurants and easy access to two bus stations (east and new bus station). The personnel was really kind and welcoming. Overall it's a good value for money and I would recommend it without reserve !

Nothing.

New hostel Good kitchen Good wifi Staff speak good english Close to good supermarket

Not yet up on logistics unable to book private taxi to ala archa (refused) 30 min walk to centre

To begin with the check in process & welcome I got was great. Beds are comfortable, showers & toilets are clean with good water pressure. Kitchen & dining area are clean & spacious. It's only a short walk (15 mins) to the centre of town, shops, parks & the city sights. The hostel looks pretty new, with new carpeted flooring & furniture. Close to supermarket & a few local cafes. Good size lockers with key & your own bedside table with power point. Free tea & coffee available.

The kitchen could use a few more utensils eg. forks, cutlery, pots etc No common/outdoor area to chill & chat to other guests except for the dining area.

Everything was perfect!
