Hotels Near Batutnyy Kompleks Smayl in Bishkek

Probably the best hotel in Bishkek. It is located in the city center and has convenient transportation. There is a tree-lined road outside the hotel with a nice view. The hotel has a nice heated swimming pool and sauna. The bed is big, the quality of bedding and toiletries are good!

I often choose this hotel when I travel on business. The surrounding environment is good and relatively clean. Although the facilities are average, the overall environment is pretty good.

My local Kyrgyz driver, who picked me from the airport, asked me which hotel should he take me to. I gave him the name of my previous hotel where I stayed earlier. He suggested if he could show me a new hotel in good location. My first question was the rate the hotel charges. He said US $ 50/- per night. That was a real bargain so I requested him to go to new hotel. It is called Discovery Hotel Bishkek on 31, Orenburgskiy side street. At the reception was a young girl who spoke good English. She asked for my passport to register in their computer. After a short while she handed over the passport with room key. She did not ask for upfront payment or deposit. So they collect when the guest leave the hotel. Going to my room, which was not large, but spotlessly clean and welcoming. Bed and furniture were new and well polished. Yes, it was air-conditioned. Continental Breakfast which included soft drinks, chicken sausages and pastries, plus coffee or tea was included in the price. Dining room was large enough with wall-mirror decor and beautiful flowers. I was impressed. I was very satisfied and stayed 3 nights. My highest recommendation to anyone who is looking for a reasonably priced 4 stars hotel, rather cheaply priced, when visiting Bishkek.

My stay at the Ramada in Bishkek wasn’t great and I couldn’t wait to leave! Upon arrival the guy on reception was so rude and looked at me like a piece of dirt. I asked if any rooms had a good view (which they did because I’ve seen the photos), he laughed, lied and said no! Originally put on the 3rd floor it seemed really busy. I got 3 hours sleep the first night as other guests decided to “hang out” in the corridors. I was actually quite scared as they were being really loud, aggressive and just being a nuisance. The next day I asked to move, which they allowed me to. I moved up one floor, sadly I encountered another group of people travelling together who also liked to leave their room doors wide open so that they could go between rooms. Seriously never experienced a hotel like it, I barely slept again and my 4 nights of lacklustre sleep were appalling. First room the tv didn’t work, there were hair all over the floor and also on my pillow. Second room the tv worked but all channels were in Russian and if you’d like any tea tray refills you’ll have to ask!! Breakfast was okay, you can get an omelette or eggs when they can be bothered to come out of their cupboard. Most things are laid out and you can help yourself, which is fine. The best thing about this place is the location and being able to walk places. Beware it was the Golden Tulip hotel until Ramada took it over and don’t seem to have done any improvements. Room configurations are weird and have more hidden corners that are just odd. Airport transfers are $20 which seems quite excessive for Bishkek. A taxi is roughly 1,000 KGS. Safe to say I wouldn’t stay here again and possibly not at another Ramada either.

My friend had lost her luggage and needed some help to contact the airport / airlines. The receptionists were extremely helpful and active in reaching out to all channels available. Even after we checked out, they helped us to follow up. Was a great stay! 10/10 would recommend!

The service is warm and patient.

Сам отель очень хорош, как ресторан и как здание. Но персонал, не весь часть, работает ужасно. Официанты не знают страну производства вина, и вес блюд. Повара молодцы, готовят вкусно. Bell boy пришел за чемоданами в номер, оставил их в багажном отделении на первом этаже и никому не сказал. Пришлось выяснять где багаж администратору девушке и тащить их на себе. Попросил воду в номер, принес 4 бутылки, 2 из которых вскрыты, т.е уже кто то пил. Молочко для тела одноразовая маленькая бутылочка и та начатая. Отель якобы 5 звезд, на ресепшен сказали что они комплектуют номер на 1 го человека, я на 2х заказывал. Бронь неделю весела подтвержденная! У вас некому за персоналом следить? У вас их никто не обучает? Останавливались в ожидании стыковочного рейса туда и обратно. Больше не приедем, это 3+ звезды а не 5. Вообщем Мариот, второй раз уже подводит. Внешне все красиво а обслуживание 0. Никогда не поеду в Марриот, для меня это слово ругательное

В целом хороший отель но было достаточно жарко. Окно пробовал открыть но прилетело очень много Комаров. Я бы добавил в сетки противомоскитные на окна, плюс купил бы вентиляторы и номер, они стоят дёшево но добавляют комфорт

THERE'S A YURT IN THE HOSTEL COMPOUND, WE REPEAT A YURT IN THE HOSTEL COMPOUND! What a welcome to the hostel to walk through the gates and look to your left to see a f*****g yurt, absolute belter! There may not be an abundance of apples situated around Apple Hostel but there's a yurt! Apple Hostel, situated west of the Western Bus Station in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan is in such a quality location. You come off a long bus ride from Tashkent, walk west for 2 mins and hiya pal you're being welcomed by the yurt. Take the Matrushka from Almaty, Kazakhstan and hiya gal pals you're in the Apple hostel compound. The Western Bus Station may not be located in downtown Bishkek (aye no s**t loser travels it's called western for a reason), but it's not far from quite a few attractions. From Apple Hostel to the notable Osh Bazaar it's only a 25-minute walk and after buying yourself a cute Kalpak to show off to the girlies back home, you can walk the same amount of time to downtown Bishkek. check out losertravels.com for the full review!
