Reviews of The Nest Hostel

A nice small cozy family hostel run by a very nice lady. I liked it because it was not big, it had a nice relaxing area in the garden and a kitchenette. Recommend if you want to get away from the very crowded big hostels.

The lady owner is welcoming and speaks a little English. It is compact and exceptional clean. Cash only so ideally have the correct amount.

There are no curtains around the dorm bed so there is absolutely no privacy. Unfortunately the lockers are too small for backpacks and the room is small for luggage on the floor.

The staff is friendly, you can do your laundry. A good place to stay for one night before or after a hike. The next shop is super close.

There is just one bathroom for 16 people.

It was peaceful and clean. The host is very warm and welcoming. There are free food in the fridge, free coffee/tea and sometimes local Kyrgyzstan bread 😌😌 The toilet is clean and has a warm water during winter

It is very difficult to locate from the city center. Taxi drivers are having a hard time to reach it using Waze app or Google map. It was 15-20 mins walk from the Karakol Western Bus Station and 20-30 mins by Yandex from the Central Bus station

Exceptional place, the owner's were especially nice & rooms/ beds very clean. Location was also a highlight, it was just minutes from downtown & easy to walk. Met great people too, 10/10 stars! 🌟

There were some issues with the water, but don't think it was the hostels front & thus was soon fixed.

Great location, great owner

There is no bed curtain and it's a mix dorm so quite inconvenient and lack of privacy

I like everything, especially staffs

Nuriya, the owner, makes a difference. Very friendly and caring, we were treated like guests, not customers, lots of respect and attention. Big thank you to the host! I have never seen such a clean toilet!

There were no doors in our room, only one bathroom for all. Exceptionally clean but only one.

Very kind hostess. Open backyard with mountain views, nice kitchen, great wifi, very convenient location to bus station, main market, etc. I stayed here several times. Big room. Very clean.

Everything is great

The family is super nice! They accommodate your every need and we were able to leave our stuff there for multiple days while being on a hike. It's clean and very cosy! The beds are comfortable and the location makes it easy to reach all the important places in Karakol on foot within a few minutes!

A doorbell would be great! We arrived and had to bang on the door for about 10 minutes before someone heard us, since we didn't have a SIM card to call them!

The host is very friendly. The bathroom is spacious, clean, and has warm water. The rooms are cozy and each bed has an outlet, which is convenient. After checking out, we kept our luggage for free. If I go to Karakol again, I will stay here again.

Location is near to Karakol town

Nothing

Place to stay 1-2 days.. is more home stay then hostla

Great staff, clean, comfortable room!

A super place. You are really made so welcome by the hosts there and you feel at home straight away. The hostel part is separate to where the family live with two dorm rooms, a small area, the bathroom and utilities room and a kitchen. I really enjoyed my days here and stayed in Karakol longer than I expected because it was so nice here.

I Iiked everything.

It's a family run hostel. They are too friendly with guests. Will help you with directions and the kitchen is very convenient to cook and dine
