Kapsul Hostel Nomadstan — Hotel in Karakol City

I truly wonder about the positive reviews. Yes, you may meet great people here but the hostel itself was one of the worst I've stayed in so far. Talking to someone running this place? Good luck. No one is around, ever. Not available by phone either most of the time. It's incredibly dirty everywhere. Especially the toilets have not been cleaned for at least 3 days since we left and came back. No toilet paper either and the doors are semitransparent - they put the foil the wrong way, so everyone can watch you wiping your butt. The showers are the same. The kitchen has only 1 stove for everyone because they don't make the other 4 work. The last room doesn't have any windows to open, while the door opens into another sleeping room. So, no air circulation whatsoever. The lockers are tiny and if there's full occupation (like in our case) there's no space for your bags. Also, we cancelled a night due to these circumstances within the free cancellation time but they kept 30% anyways. Whatever. Overall an underwhelming experience and won't...

Staying at this hostel was nothing short of fantastic. The staff was extremely friendly, with their English fluency ensuring seamless communication throughout my stay. The owner, in particular, was one of the kindest individuals I met in Kyrgyzstan, adding a personal touch of warmth and hospitality. The shared rooms had the unique feature of curtains, providing a surprising level of privacy in communal spaces. The hostel also offered immaculate shower facilities, which were a luxurious comfort after a day of exploration. Most impressively, the staff was incredibly helpful with trip planning, breaking down language barriers effortlessly for non-Russian speakers. Additionally, the hostel is conveniently located close to the heart of Karakol, making city exploration easy and accessible. This place truly offers unbeatable value for its price, seamlessly blending comfort, convenience, cultural exchange, and a friendly atmosphere. It is a genuine gem in Kyrgyzstan. Highly...
