I do not enjoy my stay here. This hotel is overrated. The owner is very hospitable. Located 1 km outside of city center. You have to walk some distance to the city center and bus station. The room is enough space but outdated. The bed was uncomfortable for me. And the bathroom is very small. The soundproofing is not great. I can hear my neighbor snoring.

Read moreOur room was very, very clean. Really the whole place was. There is a large common area with a fireplace, though we didn't use it. We rented the sauna downstairs for 1100/hr, it includes a large shower/bath area. The owner speaks a bit of english, and was very accommodating. The breakfast was simple but could have fed 20 people even though we were the only ones staying there. My wife and I stayed for a night before moving up to Kapriz. Next time we come to karakol we'll probably stay here again. The internet was good enough for video skype & facetime calls, though we were the only ones using it I'm...
