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.
Staying at Sofia in Bishkek is a tasteful and ultimate enjoyment~
One-click experience at the hotel: drink coffee, drink tea, eat local desserts, eat super delicious Korean food, exercise, watch the sunrise, watch the sunset!
Facilities: It is hard to describe the paper in Kyrgyzstan. The toilet paper is a bit rough. It is recommended that friends who come to Bishkek for tourism bring their own paper.
Environment: Watch the sunset at the Korean restaurant on the 15th floor, and take pictures! There is a yurt in the lobby, which is also unique for taking pictures! The restaurant is on the 2nd floor. The breakfast is a combination of flavors from all over the world. The steamed buns and big plate chicken are delicious!
97% of the guests were Chinese. The front desk staff spoke Mandarin. The housekeeping staff were locals who spoke Russian and were a bit lazy. The chef was from Anhui province. The restaurant menu is shown in the picture. Because it's newly opened, the facilities are complete and clean. The heating was so strong that you had to turn on the air conditioner to counteract it. The surrounding environment, like the rest of the city, had a dusty, gray feel. Overall, it was pretty good. I would stay here again if I came back.
The room is small, and it was still small after upgrading for an additional fee. The front desk was very helpful, and it was convenient to go out. The downstairs is connected to the mall. The SPA environment is poor, the SPA service attitude is not good, and the quality of the massage oil is not good. Because of the poor service attitude and the poor massage oil, I didn't expect it and didn't want to spend money to suffer. The Japanese dining environment is good, mainly because we booked a tatami seat, and the rigid consumption is about 450 US dollars. The three of us ate for one night and only ate about 300 US dollars. No matter what, we couldn't afford 450 US dollars. As a result, when paying the bill, we had to pay 450 US dollars, and then we were allowed to take it away. This is the first time I have encountered such a ”hard” management method of an international five-star hotel. It's just one seat, and the business is average. There are not many people. We didn't sit in that seat, so it was probably empty.
I specifically chose a hotel that had just been renovated and opened in July 2025. It truly lived up to my expectations, exceeding them by far.
The room was spotlessly clean and tidy, everything brand new.
The staff were all Chinese, and they served Chinese breakfast. They even had Hunan stir-fried dishes on the basement floor. It felt just like a business trip in China. I felt incredibly happy.
The front desk staff even took the initiative to carry my luggage to the car. A five-star rating is a must.

It's around the 400-500 range in China.
The breakfast was good, though.
The refrigerator in the room kept turning on every 20 minutes, which was annoying.
In short, these 13 hotels in China were horrible compared to the one in China.
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.
Nice breakfast spread of cold cuts, fish, different milks, varied omelettes, and a selection of cereals and nuts. Nice ambiance as well, at the terrace on the top floor of the building. The room is very spacious, and the bathroom clean and sleek. Recommended!
The hotel is clean and hygienic, conveniently located, and the breakfast is decent. It's situated in the heart of Bishkek, just a few kilometers from anywhere else. The front desk service is also excellent! A good hotel.
Loved our stay here. Quiet with a nice breakfast (especially for the price). We liked that it was a bit off the main busy roads, but a short walk to downtown hot spots, with a supermarket around the corner. Staff were hospitable and allowed us to check in early. 10/10 will stay here again on our next stop throughs Bishkek!
Great

GGuest UserОтдыхаем здесь уже не первый раз, руководство отеля молодцы уровень сервиса и качество отеля повышают и делают наш отдых приятным) видно что отель не стоит на месте а развивается. Номера чистые, полотенца, халаты, тапочки все необходимое в номере есть. Термальные источники, хамам, сауна, русская парная на дровах, холодная купель и большой бассейн все необходимое для отличного отдыха присутствует. Оборудовали сил зону с баром теперь можно заказывать еду и напитки не отходя от бассейна. Вообщем есть все для комфортного отдыха.
DDavid_Zhu01The hotel is in a good location with good amenities nearby. It's a newly renovated hotel, but the overnight stay was particularly poor. I often heard noises and was often woken up. The breakfast was so-so, but worth the price.
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.

GGuest UserIf you are a solo traveller in Kyrgyzstan apple hostel is the place to find your horse trek and hiking companions. They organise great activities and have a great location.

DdekknWe stayed at the hotel for 9 nights. The room was clean and cozy, equipped with all the amenities needed for a pleasant stay. The water pressure in the shower was so strong it felt like a great massage. The hotel staff are young, friendly and very attractive, always ready to help. Special thanks to the lady working as the head chef in the kitchen for the delicious breakfasts. She always smiled, which created a wonderful atmosphere in the dining room. We can definitely recommend this hotel. And if we ever find ourselves in Bishkek again, we'll stay at this hotel once more.
