Dolon Hostel

Starting hostel where we were almost alone which was super cool because the house is huge. Chilling at the garden was the best. It’s close to the bus stop for reaching Ala Archa.

I don’t usually give reviews but this one really deserves a 5 star. I messaged them directly instead of booking in the site because at that time, my internet was unstable. The place is very comfortable. Only 20mins by bus to the city center. Near Ala Archa park too. Very big place enough for a big group of people. Very spacious room and spotless clean.
You can see the mountain view from the outside too.

Dolon Hostel was an absolute gem during my stay in Bishkek and easily one of the best value-for-money places I’ve stayed in Central Asia. The hostel is brand new, very clean, and incredibly comfortable. The dorm rooms have air conditioning, which is a huge plus during hot summer days. The bathrooms are spacious, modern, and there is plenty of room everywhere. What I loved most was the peaceful atmosphere – quiet, relaxed, and with fresh air, unlike the polluted and often noisy downtown area of Bishkek. The family running the hostel is exceptionally kind, welcoming, and easy to communicate with. They genuinely make you feel at home and are always happy to help. There is also an option to order breakfast, which is very convenient. As a cyclist, I really appreciated having a safe place to store my bicycle. Small details like this make a big difference for travelers. For me, Dolon Hostel was a real hit – a true home away from home in Kyrgyzstan. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bishkek!
