    Cool little hostel with private rooms near Durdoi Mall!

    The doors dont block the light from the hallway so late night guests can be disruptive.

    Very stylish, efficient, and convenient! Comfy beds and nice big windows!

    Clean Soviet apartment but with Soviet style service.

    I had the whole apartment to myself for one night it was clean and tidy . The location is difficult to find hidden inside a nondescript apartment block. There is no atmosphere and no facilities to leave bags late check out that kind of thing which for me was particularly inconvenient on this day. There is no reception just a cleaner lady who comes to drop off and collect a key. Might suit some people but it was not for me

    The location. Even though we were sent a video on how to find the property, the reference points were not up to date, therefore it was difficult to get to the right location. The Chinese restaurant is not there anymore, neither the gym or the ad for it; and the building walls are not the same colour either!

    Super clean and cosy.

    I really enjoy small hostels because people are more respectful of each other. It's really a hostel but a little apartment house with 3 bedrooms and a shared bathroom and kitchen, which makes it very nice. The rooms have aircon, the wifi is great and the location is great. I was very pleased and would definitely stay again

    I tend to dislike Soviet-style apartments, but it was the only option to stay, and it was quite fine

    - Clean - Not too many people in the room, so it wasn't noisy

    - there is a strange door to enter the flat with magnetic key (never seen something similar, maybe it's a tipic soviet one). I think the lady who welcome us try to explain something regarding but she talks only in Russian and communication was difficult. At the end, we had to wake up babushka at 3.00 a.m. in order to enter. No problem for us but I'm sorry for her. In all the other hostels digit the number mean insert a code in order to open the door. Here we discover that it's an intercom connected with the apartment.

    - extremely comfortable location in the centre (difficult to find at this price) - wonderful house. The hostel is basically an house with 3 rooms, 1kitchen and bathroom. It bring you back directly to the soviet era and it's nice, from an historical point of view, to live for a while in this kind of real house. - great assistance by the guy who follow the bookings. He talks a good english, suggests restaurants and book for us a taxi to come back at the airport. Thank you!

    cleaning lady entered the room without knocking twice

    The hostel in fact is a 3-room-flat with all you need for a short stay. Sometimes, when guests check in in the late night, be prepared for some noise due to very thin walls and doors. In case you need to do laundry, you actually cannot use the mashine. The host allowed me to wash for 50 com, but she said, it was an exeption 😀

    nothing

    The Hotel name is already intriguing at the beginning. Actually it was a nice Soviet flat converted into 2 dorms and 1 bedroom with 2 beds ( I was in this 1). Mattress was excellent and for the first time I had real curtains to cut off the morning light. WIFI was pretty efficient. You can use the kitchen and the bathroom is shared but that's very OK / clean. I highly recommend this place, very central

    It was really hard to find the hostel without booking a room. The video and instructions we received after the booking were pretty straightforward.

    We really liked the atmosphere in the flat. Very central location.

    Since the number of guest is summing up, it would be nice if another toilet facilities will be available.

    No breakfast but location is perfect. Accessible to landmarks and close to shopping hub of Bishkek.
