Bishkek hotels

Pros: The internet and the value of the money The A/C

Cons: There is no sign to the reception of the hotel and no preparation for my arrival

Pros: It's quite comfortable place to spend a few days, very good breakfast and very nice staff :)

Pros: Good place, nice people

Cons: The building is of very low quality

Pros: Excellent place for my goals - 5 minutes walk to the place where we had meetings. Clean room with all the facilities I needed. Very friendly personnel, good breakfast. For the money I paid, this is a great choice.

Pros: It is a very nice place to stay in Bishkek with a lot of free perks as airport transfer, early check-in, late check-out, small but well-equipped fitness center with sauna, etc. The staff members are very polite and welcoming. Rooms are comfortable with commodious workdesk. Buffet breakfast is rich, and can be tuned from local cuisine to europe- or american-like traditional meal. In my opinion, it is one of the best place to stay in Bishkek for business travelers with very affordable price.

Cons: There was was small water outage during my stay here, otherwise the place was nearly perfect.

Pros: The hotel was in a really good location, very close to Oak Park. Our room was standard and very comfortable. The bathroom had a great shower. The staff were extremely helpful and showed us on the map where we were and pointed out some good streets close by for restaurants and shopping. We really enjoyed our stay here.

Cons: Nothing; we were happy with everything.

Cons: The only thing that didn't work out was the transfer we had ordered from Almaty airport to the hotel. The taxi never showed up, but the hotel did their best to help us while we were waiting.

Pros: Lovely room People friendly

Cons: All perfect

Pros: A very poor choice for breakfast. Poor service. The hotel is easily reached from the center and attractions.

Cons: Bad breakfast and an ugly old-fashioned breakfast restaurant.

Pros: Employees are really kind.

Pros: Staff and food was good. Swimming pool was great!

Cons: Water temperature in rooms kept changing from boiling hot to freezing cold....

Pros: great location. clean comfortable rooms. excellent breakfast and dinners at hotel restaurant. The guest services were very good about getting my laundry done and returned to me quickly.

Pros: Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent location.

Cons: Treadmills in fitness centre could be better.

Pros: The staff, typical of Kyrgyz culture were humble and polite.

Cons: The hotel brand is honestly degrading, Hyatt Regency like anywhere else is not on par with the new hotel brands worldwide and remain to be the cold, shallow hotels they usually are world wide.

Pros: Location is very good. Clean. nice pool.

Cons: Western channels on TV (CNN, BBC, etc) didn’t work. Air conditioning was noisy. Hidden service charge of 2.5%. Tax of 12%. The total cost was much more than the basic room rate shown on booking.com. Breakfast cost too much for this part of the world. This hotel is OK but too expensive for what it is. Nicer hotels in Almaty, for example, cost much less.

Pros: Everything! Specially breakfast!

Pros: Staff was fantastic,helpful and supportive. Room big, soft bed and sparkling clean. Private concierge was fantastic. Replacement to eat in restaurant instead of Club was amenable. Breakfast excellent choices and good foods. Nightly was offered assistance or asked if needed anything. Excellent customer contact and support.

Cons: Paid for Club level but club gym and spa services all closed for renovations. Was offered to pay for upgrade to Suite but with club closed after paying for Club this should have been free upgrade.

Pros: Good location, clean room.

Cons: They gave the worst exchange rate imaginable. On booking.com it indicated I’d pay approx AUD390 according to the exchange rate on the day; they ended up charging AUD450. Not sure how that figures. It definitely wasn’t worth that much money.

Pros: Excellent service by staff Excellent facilities and sparkling clean Great room service and food tasty Location in centre of town

Cons: Outdoor swimming pool not much use in winter No club facilities even though I paid club price

Pros: Breakfast was amazing Location Swimming pool

Cons: For late checkout they charge one full night.

Pros: It’s best

Pros: the temperature regulation is terrible. I had a cold after the night

Pros: Location. Perfect for the centre. Very friendly, helpful, professional staff. Mountain view restaurant on the 8th floor can be lovely (particularly at breakfast and sunset) Comfortable bed, good breakfast. I requested hot oats and honey, they made it. Excellent.

Cons: Absense of English Premier League football on the TV. AC difficult to modulate. Main reception too bright (McDonalds lighting isn't smart in a 4 star: subtle design matters!) Ash trays outside main reception should be emptied regularly. Green "Smart Hotel" sign is tacky.

Pros: Breakfast was good

Pros: Great sized room at a great value! Location was convenient and it was easy to walk to places. The front desk was very helpful and friendly, breakfast was good as well.

Pros: Very comfortable room, modern facilities. Staff were really helpful (although don’t expect to check in early).

Cons: If we were to stay in Bishkek again I think it would be better to look a bit further south or west.

Pros: Breakfast and swimming pool

Cons: room service

Pros: The staff was really helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. Perfect location: only minutes away to the main city attractions. Also the hotel has a swimming, free of charge.

Pros: The hotel location was excellent. Close to money exchange, restaurants and beautiful parks. Lovely neighborhood. Easy to get a taxi. Ask

Cons: The air ventilation wasn't cooling the room properly. The bed was far away from the aircon. At night it was very uncomfortable and made sleeping difficult. In the morning the sunlight made the room very hot. We had to keep the curtains closed all day to keep the room slightly cool. Also the room never cooled off. The hotel advertised it had Netflix. Not true!!! No netflix. The 500 channels only had 6 English channels. Also the tv satellite didn't work for 3 of the 4 days we were at the hotel. Very frustrating after a long day and you want to watch a movie. The staff tried to be helpful but need training. They couldn't help us with basic travel questions.

Pros: Excellent staff at the reception,always courteous and ready to help.

Pros: The staff and room boy (Islam) were helpful and cooperative

Cons: The janitor did not clean well and not changing the bed cover every day

Cons: shower is very old, the pressure is so low you can hardly take a proper shower

Pros: Staff were friendly, except for the grounds staff

Cons: Paid so much money for a aging and dirty room and we had no water the whole time. No showers or bath or toilets. What’s the point of a room with a spa and large bathroom if you cannot use it

Pros: The breakfast had a huge choice of types of delicious food and each guest was offered a personal omelette every day as well. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and always tried very hard with English, some had excellent English. The bed and bedding was extremely comfortable. My room had a very effective heating/ cooling system.

Cons: The traffic at rush hour is to be avoided, even as a pedestrian. The locals are the most impatient drivers that I have ever encountered and I have driven in Paris, Milan, Rome, Portugal and Madrid.

Pros: The hotel is great, very clean and well cared for. Staff are super helpful, the breakfast is good, and the food in the restaurant is excellent.

Cons: Not much

Pros: Large room. Good food/breakfast.

Cons: Noisy due to repairs on outside walls. (Temporary)

Pros: The room I had was spacious and clean. Front desk staff were very friendly. Accommodation was quite close to the center.

Cons: Breakfast had limited selection, but that’s not a major issue.

Pros: All of condition is good. And receptionists are great. Especially thanks for Nursultan and Izat. They helped me to find good taxi with reasonable price and showed kind and truthful attention. I would like to praise these two young and pleasant receptionists.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Helpful & friendly staff. Clean throughout. Good value.

Cons: When I paid for the taxi & laundry, I had to insist on receiving a receipt immediately. If a member of staff is authorized to take payment, s/he should be authorized to issue a receipt! The Fire Exit route was blocked - see photos.

Pros: Big comfortable room, very welcome big and deep bathtub with excellent hot water. Satellite TV, but only news channels in English. Buffet breakfast with plenty of choice. Good location in a quiet central neighbourhood. And last but by no means least, efficient and friendly staff.

Cons: The advertised swimming pool was not open. Exterior works taking place so sometimes noisy. Neither constitute a major problem or reason not to stay.

Pros: The hotel is located close to the stadium and Panfilov Park, and close to nice restaurants. The Silk Road Lodge has very large rooms with a kitchenette, desk, seating area, good bed, and large bathroom. The staff are very friendly and speak good English. The hotel has a garden with seating areas and statues. The hotel has a small indoor swimming pool. The breakfast room is nice with paintings on the wall, and the choice of food is good.

Cons: The hotel was beeing painted while we were there, and this gave some noise and working men on staffolds in front of our room. Also the garden was used as temporary storing for the equipment, and the swimming pool was temporary out of service. We understand that maintenance is required.

Pros: The staff were outstanding. Friendly, polite and extremely helpful in every way both with the hotel and if you need travel advice. Early check in is possible and the breakfast was varied and really delicious. Room was spotless and location was great for walking around the city.

Cons: The shower was a hand held one and the airport shuttle is only free if you stay 4 days or more.

Pros: Super friendly and helpful staff (thanks!). Good location close to the center and good restaurants. Quite good breakfast (better than I expected reading the other reviews).

Cons: No fridge in the room (it should be there based on the hotel description). No night light by the bed.

Pros: Fantastically helpful staff, super-comfy bed, quiet street, great breakfast, excellent location.

Pros: The hotel was very close to my meeting place, extremely friendly staff. The hotel is according to regional taste and standards, I'd book it again. Also, A/C worked well.

Cons: The shower did not always work - not sure if that's a hotel or a general infrastructure problem. Not easy to find, if you don't have a driver who knows it. The hotel name is not posted on the ground level, there is only a sign on top of the building, which is difficult to see.

Pros: The design of rooms

Cons: Hard to find the hostel, no signs around the building.

Pros: From the outside the building gives a false impression because its one of the ugly soviet era apartment blocks. But inside it was comfortable and homey. And everything worked, the kitchen was adequate and the owner more than accommodating. She even let me stay in my room until 5:20 pm (check out was noon) when I left for the airport. Be aware though that there are no staff in residence between 5:30 pm and 10: am. Not a problem for me. In fact it seemed like I had the place to myself as only one couple, besides me, there. Loved this place and would highly recommend it. April

Pros: It was quiet and cosy! Bathroom and toilet were separated, one each, which was enough for this small hostel with less people. In the kitchen we could cook and store things ourselves and there was enough space to sit for all. The building is older, but has an elevator, which was useful for our luggage. Every room had an AC, which we didn't even need.

Cons: The woman who welcomed us didn't speak English, we had to call her son and ask. There were less cups, plates and cutlery in the kitchen, it was difficult to find something to eat and drink sometimes. The kitchen was not very clean (floor, windows) and we missed something to hang out towels in the room when they were wet.

Pros: Location is the only reason for me stay there.

Cons: The owner is not the friendliest. On the day of checkout (after 11am), I’ve packed my stuff and was hanging around in the property while thinking whether to extend my stay or find another place to stay, but the owner insisted for me to leave the property right away since it’s after checkout time. Hence, I left and have no plan to return there anytime soon.

Pros: The shower worked.

Cons: Mostly, there’s no staff in daytime.

Pros: Location is good, can walk to CBD. Fully equipped, but the wash machine is not work. Cozy place to stay, like a home.

Cons: The old lady don’t know English, it’s bit hard to communicate.

Pros: It was neat and clean and the old lady the owner was very polite and courteous

Cons: The place was just too small with so many people

Pros: I like the location of the hostel.It's very near to the shopping malls and attractions.

Cons: Utensils were not that in order or should I say it's not neat specially the cups,spoons and forks.

Pros: Cosy place and near bus stop to all places we need to go. Eg. Bazaar, West bus station.

Cons: Kitchen faculties need some replacement.

Pros: Friendly lady, nice room.

Cons: Blinds on the window would have been nice.

Pros: Very good location Nice room Hot shower

Cons: The lift is a bit old

Pros: My family and I were treated to a stay in a Deluxe Suite at the Golden Dragon on a recent trip in Bishkek. Our stay was very comfortable and pleasant. Upon arrive, we were escorted into the hotel by a concierge. Immediately you could tell that the hotel was very safe, as the hotel grounds are gated and there was security by the entrance. The concierge who met us at the taxi drop-off area was polite and took our things inside to the registration desk for us. Complete five-star service from the staff, who spoke great English and were very friendly and helpful with our kids (a willy five-year-old and adventurous three-year-old). The premises are very nice, exceeding what we expected and what we've seen elsewhere in the city. The room was very comfortable and SO BIG. The suite had a master bedroom, with a child's bed they'd brought in for the three-year-old, a living space with a massive sectional couch (where the five-year-old slept) and a big screen TV, a kitchenette (although it was more of an actual kitchen, complete with cooking wares) and minibar, and dining space with another massive TV. Not to mention two bathrooms and waiting room. I mean, this place was bigger than our flat back home. Not only was there ample space, but it was comfortable and nicely decorated in, if dated, an art deco style. We had a great night's sleep. In the morning, we loved watching the sunrise light up the mountains from the balcony. We visited the Sauna in the morning and it is massive and very nice. I only wish there had been some oils for the sauna. But that is a small thing. The breakfast was great and had a lot of options. Some of them obviously catered to the hotel's Chinese clientele. This was fine with us, as we love Chinese food. But they also had the usual fare you'll see at a breakfast buffet. We unfortunately did not eat at the neighboring restaurant, so we can't speak to that.

Cons: The location is perhaps the only thing that isn't so great about this listing. It is far away from the center (about a ten minute taxi ride without traffic, 20 minute with traffic) and there isn't a lot around within walking distance. To make up for this minor inconvenience, the location affords fantastic views of the mountains that you won't get from more centrally located hotels. *Also, the 'inconvenience' of the location totally depends on where you'll be going whilst in Bishkek. So, just map out where you'll be going beforehand and plan for travel time.

Pros: Great location, swimming pool and quiet room (after we asked to change rooms because of noisy kids above us)

Cons: The breakfast was ok but nothing special

Pros: Staff were pleasant and the room comfortable.

Cons: Shower wasn’t great. Rooms not especially well soundproofed. Plugs in room not well positioned.

Pros: After my claims they applied a strong discount on fees

Cons: They pretend to be a 5 stars hotel, while in Europe it would be considered a 3 stars hotel. Poor soviet breakfast, served by waiters never smiling

Pros: Airport transport + location .

Cons: No spa. Less than ordanary brack fast. Old room ols furnicher . Average house keeping Really it is not deserve to get 2-3 stars

Pros: Very friendly and polite. Clean hotel whit nice facilities.

Cons: No English speaking staff. Extremely difficult to communicate and to express needs and wishes. Very simple words such as bread, sparkling water and olives were not known.

Pros: The facility was clean; supportive staff

Cons: Hardly anything to concern about, happy with the services

Pros: Every thing

Cons: Breakfast very poor choices

Pros: Best personnel in town, most English-speaking, very nice spa, a very experienced masseur, GREAT breakfast
