KbH-Karakol based Hostel, hotel in Karakol

Featuring free WiFi, Karakol based Hostel offers accommodations in Karakol, a 5-minute walk to the city center. Free private parking is available on site.

Everything actually especially the staff. They were very helpful, answered all our questions regarding trekking and cultural exposure events. They don’t organize tours, but they will recommend multiple or let you know how to book. The location is pretty amazing as well as it is near to popular destinations such as city center, destination karakol organization, and CBT.

Hostel Ilbirs, hotel in Karakol

Hostel Ilbirs is located in Karakol. The hostel provides both free WiFi and free private parking. At the hostel guests are welcome to use a sauna.

I received great hospitality. My late arrival was warmly accepted. The Dungan style meals are very filling, and perhaps the best breakfast that I've received in recent memory from any guest house. The room was comfortably equipped, and I was able to get some work done at a provided desk with strong wifi. Lastly, the host helped arrange a ride for me to visit the animal market on Sunday, which was an interesting cultural event.

Brand new hotel, they were still bringing in new mattresses when I stayed. Rooms and bathrooms were super clean. Bed was comfy. The lady running it and her daughter were very kind. Breakfast was great. It’s on a quiet street but only a short walk to cafes, restaurants, sights etc. They stored my bike safely

    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!!
