We slept at nice hotel in September for a few nights the place is very comfortable and offers beds in a dorms as well as yurt and place for a tent the staff here is very helpful and nice, very cheap place that includes a kitchen in the price very recommended
Nice hostel, quiet at the outskirts of the city (not far to the centre, though - it's a small city). Nice beds, beautiful garden and helpful staff. Unfortunately, there is no breakfast included. The bathroom could be nicer too, but if you pay a little bit more, you can stay in the newly refurbished upstairs part.
A quiet place with a very helpful and kind team to welcome you. Always there to guide you in Karakol or around. Becka, Trevor and Nordine are the best host in Khirghiztan ! Different prices if you plant your tent, sleep in dorms or stay in the the new dorms, it's always a low and competitive price. Thanks also to the cleaning women who make every days a great job.
Great hostel near the edge of town. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Good laundry and washing facilities and a nice social space to hang out in. There's also beer in the fridge (with associated honesty box). Stayed there intermittently for a few nights and the staff were always friendly and either fluent or native English speakers.
Great hostel with English speaking friendly keepers. One night stand in dorm cost was around 400 SOM, there is spacious kitchen, European toilet, many showers, pleasant garden with trees and shadow. People who stay here are usually very nice to talk to. You can buy food from fridge for very fine prices, just few SOMs more than in market. You can get here by Marshutka 102. Highly recommended.
Knowledgeable staff. Good facilities. Cosy beds. Nice communal area. Would stay again.
Everything is perfect. You can pitch your tent in the garden, sleep in a yurt or simply in a dorm. The showers and toilets are always clean. But the best part is the common area, where the super friendly staff provides you with all the information you need for your trek or other travels. There is also a small shop and a well-equipped kitchen, where you can cook and store your food. I definitely recommend this place to everyone staying in Karakol!
Hostel Nice is a very special place. I camped in my hammock in the backyard for over a month this summer while completing a novel, and to be honest I could have easily spent the whole summer here if I hadn't already booked my flight. It's a perfect location in town, with marshrutkas to the center or to Akshu (IE: to the trail to Altyn Arashan) stopping directly out front.
It's more than just a place to lay your head at night Awesome people, great vibe, awesome owners (they speak educated English, so there's no language/cultural barrier--they're super awesome and on the level, not simply out for your money). I'm not the only person who stayed loner than they expected here--everyone seems to end up saying for like a week.
It has a full kitchen and plenty of common area space, and four different showers, all with 24/7 hot water.
The internet is about as fast as you'll find in Kyrgyzstan, with both 4g and ADSL, so there's always connectivity. During the day when most people are out hiking and stuff, you can get download speeds of like 500 kbps.
It's got plenty of space to hang out in the courtyard and garden, so you'll have a great time drinking a couple beers and chilling with people at night. At the same time, however, it's not a party hostel. Perfect balance.
Anyway, yeah, this is a very special place, a designation I don't use frivolously.
super clean, super organised, fridge full of things to buy for cooking and drinking, french capsule coffee machine, quiet location, garden for tents. highly recommend this place
Nice and clean place. They sell little selections grocery and it's very useful for lazy day :) Helpful people and they accept credit cards. (Due to the connection problems in Kyrgyzstan, I couldn't use credit card during my stay though)
