Reviews
We didnt like that the taxi that they arranged from the airport charged 1800. Yandex is a lot cheaper. The reason people ask the guesthouse or hotel to arrange it is to ensure we don't get ripped off and pay what locals would pay, but in this case it was a lot more.
For this price there are better places to overnight in Bishkek.
Just a couple of small things to keep in mind: the A/C was not turned on during my stay, but honestly, the rooms stayed fairly comfortable. Also, the path from the main road to the hostel isn’t the smoothest, so it’s a bit tricky if you’re carrying heavy luggage.
Overall, still a great place to stay and I would definitely come back!
