People Hostel & Coworking

A really comfortable hostel, in a good location. The staff were super friendly and welcoming and the small arrival gift was a sweet touch. Room was spacious and the bed comfy. The in room lockers felt very secure. It was absolutely boiling hot in Bishkek but the rooms were always cooled nicely. My only complaints are small ones, the bedsheets don’t fit the bed so well, and the wifi was spotty in the dorms.

I liked so much about this place, but the laundry situation is awful, especially if you really need to get it done. There are only 2 washers that are shared between guests and housekeeping. I wanted to do laundry after hiking for weeks (out of clean clothes and the dirty clothes are unwearable due to the current state) and couldn't do it because housekeeping was constantly using the washers. Better off going to a laundry service than depending on being able to do it *as advertised* here.

Excellent stay in Bishkek! Great location in the city and made our arrival into Kyrgyzstan very smooth. We arrived at 5 in the morning, and this property has a nice coworking space upstairs that we were able to nap/regroup in before the day got started. Not great/no baggage storage though, you just have to leave your bag sitting behind the lobby area until check in. We had a strange experience of other travelers being rude/stand-offish. Staff was very friendly though!
