    The nearby store is noisy and there are loud voices at night when it's time to sleep. I didn't mind it too much, but it may not be suitable for people who want to sleep comfortably.

    It was very comfortable. There were yoga mats, perfect for working out. There were also chairs on the second-floor terrace where you could relax. I was able to use the shower room without any problems. I got a bad case of food poisoning here, but the staff quickly called an ambulance and dealt with the situation. They even brought me some medicine. It was my first time traveling alone and I was very worried about getting sick overseas, but they really helped me out. There were cafes and malls nearby, so I had no trouble shopping.

    Rooms shook whenever people walked through them and the bathroom was quite tiny.

    Not in the center of the city, but in a lovely location nonetheless.

    The downstairs private room that I stayed in has no window and is right next to the street. Though it’s clean and comfortable, it’s ver noisy and sometimes shakes from trucks passing by.

    The hostel is very well managed and organized. The staff are helpful and efficient. The rooms are very clean and well furnished (curtain for each dorm bed, light, socket, locker). The bathrooms are also very clean and regularly checked (trash bag & toilet paper replaced). The hostel is in a great location; near downtown & many shops, restaurants, etc. The communal kitchen is the nicest I've seen whilst traveling around Central Asia. Would definitely recommend this hostel to anyone visiting or passing through Bishkek!

    The only thing that bothers me is a door with glass window in the shower so you don’t have a privacy.

    Everything Was great! Late check-in wasn’t problem at all. Beds with curtains is a must-have For me in a hostel and the curtains dimmed the light very well.

    It seems to be a lot of people staying there for a long period of time like for working or exchange… so the lower bed were all occupied. But this is not a problem to me.

    The staff can speak in fluent english and are so helpful. I could easily reach them with the 24 hrs reception. (The female staff is so sweet and recommended me a cafe with very good vibe which I enjoyed so much. She even helped to buy the border crossing bus which required local bank transfer.) The environment is just the same as the photo provided, very hygienic and tidy. (The girl cleaned the washing machine for me before I used, Thanks again🥹) Many nice restaurants and even bars are nearby. Although there was no free breakfast, coffee powder and tea bags provided for free. There is a well equipped and clean kitchen with fridge so I could prepared my own meals as well. Highly recommend to all cost saving tourists and backpackers!!!

    We had a pleasant experience in this hostel. Very clean and well-maintained. The staff, helpful and present, spoke perfect English. It was a great way for us to approach Kyrgyzstan since the staff helped us best to plan our trip as soon as we arrived. The neighborhood is not very central but the hostel is close to both a supermarket, nice restaurants and bars and is next door to a 'tour agency that organizes tours. We left comfortably for Son Koll Lake early in the morning.

    The sound-proofing between rooms is not great and the sounds are amplified by all the wooden floorboards. It doesn't make for the most peaceful stay. It also felt like there weren't really enough washing machines. It's also a bit far from the city centre so if you're travelling, you'll probably need to catch a few taxis.

    It had good facilities and everything you need. You could wash your clothes in the morning, and it would dry by afternoon on the lines outside. There was a good culture of playing games and movie nights too.

    The location is a bit far. You must use slippers inside, but there isn't anywhere to leave your outside shoes at the entrance so it's unclear how we should change shoes when coming in and out. The hostel has signs for quiet hours everywhere, but they aren't enforced and people were loud in the room very late at night. The hostel door is locked at night. You can call the reception and they will let you in easily, but this could be a problem if you don't have a local sim card. This place was fine, but I stayed somewhere else when I came back to Bishkek after Issyk-Kul.

    This place is fine. It's quite big, with lots of common areas to relax, and the beds are comfy. Cleanliness could have been better, but it wasn't a big issue
