We stayed for 3 nights and the place was very clean. They cleaned our room everyday, which was nice. The location is great, just a short walk to Faiza Restaurant and Globus Supermarket.
The staff were friendly, always smiling, and very accommodating. They even let us rest in the lobby and stored our luggage when we arrived early before check-in time.
Amenities are a bit limited though there’s a small café but no gym or sauna. Breakfast is basic and almost the same every day, but it’s fine for a quick start to the day.
Overall, it’s a nice and comfortable hotel. Good location, clean rooms, and helpful staff. Would definitely stay again.
The second time I came to Bishkek, I stayed at the Sofia Chinese Hotel. I stayed here when I came last summer. It was good in all aspects.
👉The hotel is quite new, the single bed is quite spacious, and the bedding is comfortable, so I slept very well. The service is very good. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know Russian. The hotel has Chinese staff who know Mandarin. Of course, you can also use the translation to communicate with the local waiters.
👉There is free mineral water, tea and coffee. There is a restaurant downstairs. It is not far from the city center and it is very convenient to go everywhere.
We chose this hotel for its breakfast and the on-site bar-restaurant. What we got was a pretty old hotel. The bar wasn't open, and it was hard to find decent places to eat nearby. Breakfast was brought to the room, and we had to choose our meal and coffee type from a menu daily. However, they consistently forgot the coffee, so we had to remind them every day and wait 10-15 minutes after the rest of breakfast arrived. Out of 4 days, breakfast was only delivered 3 times; one day, they simply said the chef hadn't shown up. They promised a refund for one day's breakfast, but it never came. The room was very cold in December; the air conditioning was old and noisy. The shower drain was clogged, and by the second day, there was a sewage smell. On the plus side, the linens were clean, towels fresh, and slippers were provided. They offered to move us to an ”upgraded” room, which we checked out – it was indeed spacious, looked newer, and was more pleasant. However, the next morning, we were told that room wasn't available and were given a different one, which wasn't much better than our original room. Overall, everything felt disorganized and chaotic. Communication on WhatsApp was very polite, though. Getting to the city center is a long journey, and you spend a lot of time in traffic if you take a taxi. We haven't stayed at other hotels in the city, so we have nothing to compare it to. This hotel might be okay for a couple of days. All in all, not terrible, but there's definitely room for improvement.
The hotel was ok. Breakfast super complete. The problem we had was that the night we arrived the hotel told us the AC was just broken and was really hot in the room. The people in the front desk were very helpful though. Hotel kind of vintage but with good service and modern toilet
This newly opened Chinese hotel is clean and hygienic, with excellent service. The front desk has Chinese speakers and an interpreter, and the breakfast is generous. When you need a taxi, you can call the front desk. When you need a taxi back home, you can call the hotel. It's very convenient.
Had an incredibly comfortable stay at the Kyrgyz Star Hotel in Bishkek! ✨
The deluxe double room I stayed in truly surprised me – it was super spacious with an open layout, never feeling cramped at all. What I loved most was the bathtub; after a day of exploring, a hot bath back at the hotel was just what I needed to unwind!
The hotel's location is also very convenient, the staff are friendly, and the breakfast offers a wide selection. If you're looking for a comfortable hotel with great value for money in Bishkek, I highly recommend the Kyrgyz Star. I'll definitely choose this place again next time I visit! 🏨💯
I enjoyed the peacefulness of this palace like hotel with its lovely rooftop for sunset viewing. The room was comfortable, reasonably priced, and clean. I appreciated the relaxation of the onsite private spa that was a lovely surprise to my stay. The staff were helpful in providing guidance for city landmarks and attendng to any requests I had. Highly recommend it!
Decided to book the same hotel for our return leg after trekking in Karakol. First stay at Novotel was excellent (see my other review) but the second stay was horrible. Check in time was 3pm so we went out for lunch and got back at 3.20pm only to be told that one of the two rooms was not available. Reception staff, Zania, was rude and unapologetic and didn't even bothered to provide an estimated time. Another receptionist told us it would be about 30 mins and they would send the keys to the room. We went into the room and at 4.15pm we called the reception desk and they told us they will deliver the key in 5 mins. 10 mins have passed before the key was delivered. 5-star hotel with poor time management and bad service - no follow up on room key. Other areas were good though EXCEPT front desk staff. Staff at massage/pool were polite, so were the restaurant staff. Please educate your front desk staff especially Ms Zania, as they are the first line of service.
Location is good, it's close to the center of the city. Hotel is clean and fresh. All works smoothly. Single minor problem was solved in minutes.
The only downside is breakfast: the assortment is moderate and dining room is pretty small, you may not find free place.
The best hotel experience in Bishkek so far.
The customer service staff is very enthusiastic, polite and thoughtful, from the reception to the front desk to the restaurant service staff, I give a thumbs up.
The breakfast is rich and varied.
The hotel facilities are very good, clean and hygienic, the environment is good and quiet.
There is a mall downstairs, which is very convenient for shopping and traveling.
I will come again next time.

Kkarapuzconvenient downtown location, yet quite quiet; fast check-in check out; 3+ stars facilities; some of the sockets are of UK standard which could be helpful for certain people; central heating is a bit too hot, need to open the window from time to time; bed sheets aren’t changed every 3 days as supposed and the floor could be washed better; gym is the way too small, apart from that all good, breakfast is satisfactory

DDaniel SoonFriendly staff. Check-in/out process was efficient and fast. Room/breakfast was basic but great value for the amount paid. Not exactly in the prime sight-seeing area but that is offset by their relatively affordable local ride hailing service and the walkable distance to multiple dining options and convenience stores.
GGuest UserCheck in/out was smooth with no problems. There was a breakfast but I didn’t try it due to eating late previous nights. Wifi is good and strong. Good shower but water pressure drops significantly in the morning as all the guests are using the bathroom - outwith those times it is great.
Room was clean and comfortable. Kettle/tea/coffee provided. There is a mini market(Magazine) 2mins away across the street for water, drinks, smacks etc I had a car so I was using parking. It’s a small space for only a handful of vehicles but I had no problem parking there. I would book again next time I am in Bishkek. Yandex Taxi are incredibly cheap to use so it is no big deal about the location.
A slight smell from the toilet now and again was the only minus and I had to really think about that.
GGuest UserLovely quiet hotel/hostel with clean rooms. I stayed in a dorm with 4 beds. The bed have lights and curtains and inside the room are lockers, a fridge, microwave, electric kettle and a table. Opposite the room was a bathroom and toilet and throughout the building are filtered water tap points and even on the kitchen there's a tap with filtered water so you can wash your fruit and vegetables with filtered water if you want.
The only thing I missed was hooks in the room to hang the towel and a small shelf next to the bed for my phone and such.
You have to take off your shoes to enter the hotel and you can use these singel use hotel slippers which are thrown away when you leave. This creates loads of unnecessary rubbish which is a shame.
RRoyal Caribbean Ltd.Although it faces the street, it is very quiet and the room is clean. The price of an express hotel in second-tier cities in China is more like a hotel, but the facilities are average. A highlight is that the breakfast is good and there is a good local restaurant nearby.
GGuest UserEverything about the hostel is solid.
If you’re starting or ending your journey in Kyrgyzstan this is a great place to meet people. If you’re starting you might even trek buddies.
