I was so lucky to find this place during my trip in September of this year. ^^ The location is also close to the terminal. It's convenient for both coming and going to Bishkek, and you can catch the Mashtroka to Karakol from here! (There are buses from the eastern end of the city, but they also depart from here at the Central Terminal. When I was there, there was a timetable posted in front of the restroom, so check it out.)

I loved it so much that I extended my stay from two nights to six, swimming, relaxing, and visiting the hot springs. I was a little tired from the long trip, but the place was so relaxing. I even watched the total lunar eclipse with the owners. It was the end of the season, and it was getting colder, but I had a comfortable and enjoyable stay! I'd love to go again when it's a little less cold. ^^

Good luck!

Very nice accommodation, hosts and staff are very friendly, you can book tours around Izzyk kul Lake and the mountains in that region from the guest house

Very nice place in good localisation next to bus station and not far from beach. Perfect service!
