Dostuk — Hotel in Bishkek City

The location is wonderful - it's just beside Victory Square and the Circus, and it's not a far walk from Ala-Too Square on a mild day. Any destination not walkable from the hotel is a very cheap YandexGo trip away. ||||I was kindly given an early check-in, and reception also kindly held on to my luggage at check-out so that I could sightsee further. ||||The "junior suite" (at $50 a night) is an incredibly spacious room for one traveler, and the air conditioning and comfort of the bed were wonderful. The television had a great variety of international news stations and Central Asian music channels. Unfortunately, the mini-fridge did not work at all despite being "on", and there was only one socket where you could charge electronics. ||||Housekeeping staff were kind and diligent, and the hotel's electrician kindly lent me an electrical converter for charging my devices. ||||The only true issue I can think of is that the nighttime staff is haunted by a malcontent male receptionist (he has a large scar on the right side of his head) who wants nothing to do with non-Russian speakers. Apparently, I asked him too many questions about Kyrgyzstan, so he refused to answer me and instead summoned a female staff member to assist me every time after that. A few other staff members also seemed disinterested in and bothered...

I stayed a few nights in Dostuk Club Hotel when on business trip to Bishkek. Even if the Club Hotel is sold as 'premium part' of Dostuk, it's looks and feels rather shabby and remembers me to the late 1990ties when I have been first time visiting this town. ||Club Hotel is located on 5th floor of Dostuk Hotel, just a bit better renovated and equiped than the rest of this large Sovjet style building. Entrance and Access are the same as rest of Dostuk, which is in old and mostly shabby conditions. Standard rooms are very small and darkish. Very bad sound insulation to corridor and neighbouring rooms, you can hear in fact each and every world what People speak outside the room. ||Breakfast is served in so called Prego Bar on 2nd floor, breakfast buffet is tiny and of low quality. Instant coffee only.||However, on the positive side, staff is truely nice and helpful.||I would not stay here again, for this Price one could get much better, modern accomodation in today's Bishkek - unless you are explicitely looking for the 'charm of the...
