Hillside Karakol Bed and Breakfast — Hotel in Karakol City

During the motorcycle trip to Kyrgyzstan with my husband and two other friends, we slept 4 nights in August in Karakol and Hillside was the perfect place to stay. Cozy, well-kept, impeccably managed, clean and organized hotel. A strategic stopping point. In a green corner, in the residential area of ​​the city, the hotel is a happy and very comfortable island. Easily accessible and with nearby convenience stores. Delicious and varied breakfast. The center can be reached on foot with a pleasant walk or alternatively with a few minutes by taxi. The owner, who runs it together with his wife, speaks excellent English. He is a special person. Courteous, helpful and present. Help guests with all their needs. In short, I absolutely recommend the hillside. A beautiful place to rest and sip your coffee on the veranda among the flowers and the magic of the mountains of Kyrgyzstan....

My daughter and I stayed here in late August, 2018. The hotel/guesthouse is small, family run, and quite lovely. It's a new property that has been open one year so everything is in excellent condition. It is tastefully appointed, beds are comfortable, and breakfast was good. Our only complaint is that the older brother insisted that we had to pay an extra fee to have two of us in the room and was quite insistent we had misread the fine print on Booking.com. We reviewed the hotel listing on Booking.com, made a new, fake booking there through Booking.com to see what price was listed, and were able to prove that he was attempting to gouge us so the nicer, other brother ended up charging us what we expected. This would have been a 5 star review had we not had to deal with this...

The best place to stay in Karakol. We stayed there for 5 nights and we discovered from there all the region hiking every day in different valley (Ak-Suu, Jeti Oguz, Jyrgalan, Altyn Arash) . Ahmet, the owner, is the kindest, most welcoming and helpful person we could find. He advised us on wonderful walks but above all he helped us in an indispensable way with the local police. We lost our passports and without him it would have been impossible to solve the problems. He also helped us with taxis, market and translations. Hillside is an oasis of tranquillity, the rooms as clean as the whole building. The common area the ideal place to relax after a long hiking. The breakfasts were excellent. Super fast wifi. To be recommended to anyone who wants to stay in Karakol....
