Hotels near Grand Stone, Bishkek

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.

The hotel was very neat and nice. If you want to come here, I recommend this hotel.

I arrived a little early and felt very tired, so I asked for an earlier check-in. And even though I paid $31 and applied for an earlier check-in, I checked in about an hour earlier than the normal check-in time. Even after paying the additional fee, I waited for over two hours to check in. They didn't even accept credit cards, only dollars. The staff's insincerity was a bit disappointing.

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!

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

They had pre arranged a taxi service from the airport, and he was waiting for me right at the doors as I finally completed my 28 hours in transit from Sydney. This man was my first experience of anyone really in Bishkek and he was so friendly and helpful. We chatted endlessly whilst he drove me to my destination and although I was tired I wished we could have spoken for another little while. Once inside the hotel, he helped me check in to the hotel as my knowledge of Russian is non existent and the young man behind the counter had limited English. I headed upstairs and had an amazing sleep after a hot shower. The beds are super comfortable and after getting myself sorted around 11am the staff at the front desk really did go above and beyond helping me get my sim card active (they even took me to the supermarket to add data to my sim) they then organised a taxi to take me to the bank and bring me back and all of this they offered me a lunch as I had missed out in breakfast. They also upgraded me from a double room to a room with a separate lounge and bedroom. The next day before checking out they again arranged a taxi for my destination and also gave me a take away lunch as I had missed breakfast that first morning. This was my first long haul flight after 2 years and the staff at hotel De'mar really helped me settle in and avoid jet lag. I can't thank them enough and highly recommend you stay at this hotel if you are ever thinking of visiting Bishkek.

The service is warm and patient.

First hostel I ever stayed at and it was comfortable and cozy. I liked the location, it’s near the railways, so you can actually see and hear the trains go by. Nicely furnished and designed, everything is super clean. You will definitely like staying there. Home-like atmosphere, welcoming staff, snacks, books, and Netflix available! Surely would stay there next time.

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
