A really amazing place. I have never slept in a tent in a larger room. So it was actually a dorm where everybody had his own privacy in his tent. And this for a good price. The place was very clean. All the day free coffee and tea included. Maxim and Kirill, they owners weree very helpful and gave me much advice. Thank you to them.

Accomodation is high in the mountains and offers everything like a normal mountain hut in the Alps. Like other accomodations on Altyn-Arashan it is not a hotel for pampered guests. The Arashan hotel has its own spring of hot water and offers baths. The staff is very pleasant.

Fantastic hostel with an incredibly nice host who goes above and beyond to make sure everyone is having a great time. The beds are very comfortable, and the rooms are spacious, so you never feel cramped. It’s a bit outside the center, but that’s no problem with Yandex. The place also seems to attract the right kind of travellers, making for a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The best hostel in Karakol. The owner is very friendly and can help with almost anything you need (booking yurts, permits and the like). Social vibe and some spaces to relax. One of the cleanest places I have visited in all of Kyrgyzstan.

best hostel I've ever stayed in! the disposition of the rooms is thought to make people feel at ease, there's a garden, a living room, a big kitchen and even inside tents, if you feel up to trying it out! The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful, and even brought us to the train station:) I highly recommend this location! Спасибо большое!

This is a budget backpackers hostel ( and we are no longer backpackers )but was really good. We had a twin room which was perfectly adequate and clean. The place is made by Aizada and her husband who's name I've forgotten ( humble apologies) and their children. All really helpful/kind/fun. Just a really good vibe

Jalil and his family were wonderful! We really enjoyed our time with them. It is a small hostel and you get to share the kitchen with the family which makes way for good talks. It is possible to buy cheap dinner from jalils wife (who is an excellent chef)

I am a repeat guest! I came in the summer during hiking season then returned for skiing season in the winter. Hostel Nice is such a chill hostel. Jen is the sweetest and so so helpful. She looked up things for me to do in Karakol in case I was bored. And she always helped me out - even coming with me to the store to rent snowshoes. Greatest and nicest staff!!! And best hostel in Karakol!!
