The hostel is great value for money. The staff don’t speak much English but I don’t speak much Kyrgyz. The location is initially hard to find and taxi drivers don’t bother they just park in the car park which is about 400 meters away from the hostel. The facilities are very good and the staff encourage you to join in pre arranged activities.
Be careful the water from the taps and showers can be scalding hot. The hostel was quiet at night, and a laundry service and breakfast and coffee is available.
The internet is fast and reliable.
