We liked everything about the property as we took town house which was perfect for our group of 8 adults and 2 children. This is best hotel in Karakol and will suggest this place to stay over.

Karakol is a small, charming, village-like town located at the foot of the mountains. The views are spectacular, the air is tasty-fresh, the food is diverse and as organic as it gets; most importantly, people are open, welcoming, a little reserved at first, but ready to help once you approach them.
Infrastructure and buildings are decayed, but it only adds to the charm of the town if you are open to go through a little hardship here and there, especially if you are arriving from a megapolis.
Karakol offers a few interesting museums and galleries, but the main attraction is that it is an intermediary place to starting your journey exploring peaks, gorges, vallies, hot springs and all the other natural gems that Kyrgyzstan offers its guests. The town itself has very interesting history and a crazy mix of many ethnic groups (Kyrgyz, Ukrainian, Dungan, Russian, Korean, German, Uzbek, Uyghur, Tatar, etc). Find yourself a local friend (easier to do in Kyrgyzstan) and he/she will open up doors to many other amazing sides of Karakol.

You can easily stay one week or longer in this destination.
You can easily stay one week or longer in this destination. There is everything you may expect from Kyrgyzstan: lake Issyk Kul just a few Km from Karakol, amazing mountains with lost od different treks: one-day or multiple-day. I suggest to definitely climb to Ala Kol lake, visit Teleti valley or go up to the pass, immerse in hot springs in Altyn Arashan, or if you need a modern structure go to Ak-Suu thermal pools. Jeti-Ögüz is a 100% must see, or go to Jargalan valley and admire dozens of semi-wild horses, rent one of them and enjoy the view to the world from horseback. Buy some local hand-made products e.g. shirdak carpets, taste awesome local cuisine (esp. lamb, plov or manty) and don't miss local market in Karakol, wooden Holy Trinity Cathedral, unusual architecture of Dungan mosque or Sunday animal market in the town suburbs.

Karakol has a lot to offer about the beautiful nature,but government should start to develop the infrastructure for this city more.,should install street light in all street,cuz traveler are coming more and more to Kyrgistan.If tourist feel safe enough even during the night the business in town will get more income from tourist .And the street should be upgraded .

We stayed in Karakol for 2 nights - before and after our hike to Ala Kol lake. I would recommend bringing camping gear from your home country as the shops in Karakol aren't great. There are companies though that you can rent tents, cooking gear etc. if you prefer. Karakol has few cafes and restaurants (we tried Cat Cafe and Meeting Point) aimed for overseas travelers but also places to try local culinary (unfortunately the highly recommended place was closed for Eid).

The lovely reception and treatment by the hostess exceeded our expectations. Her hospitality and ever-ready willingness to help us out with any query or arrangement made our stay here the best stay that we had in Kyrgyzstan. Thank you for having us!

The town is very flat and was not what we expected.
The town is very flat and was not what we expected. It had all the things we needed (restaurants, convenience stores, petrol stations) and was easy to get around. The museum was well worth the visit. The cathedral we only saw the garden and outside. It was a lovely unique piece of architecture. The real attractions are the mountain passes and valleys.
Breakfast was lovely, the yurt was comfortable, and the bathrooms excellent (with high quality toilet paper, even). An excellent location between mountains and the center, with a nice Terrace restaurant nearby, as well as a grocery store. Close also to Lighthouse Karakol and Ashlyan Fu Alley. The hosts also helped us arrange our trip to the next destination, with prices much, much more affordable than those quoted to us elsewhere (I speak Russian, so the language was not the issue). Very kind and friendly people.
Nurdin is the kindest and most welcoming man I have met in Kyrgyzstan. He speaks great English and was super helpful in planning my time in Karakol. His family are so sweet and offered me lots of food during my stay. Room was clean and comfortable. Great value for money. And location is nice - near a park, and also near a regular bus stop to take you to the centre if you don't feel like walking. Overall had a great stay here. Thanks so much Nurdin and family!
The property is managed by 2 sisters who are very helpful in any way. They allowed our luggage to be stored in the reception for 2 nights while we trek in Altyn-Arashan. 🙏🏻
The property is very clean and well maintained. The atmosphere of the property is very calm and so we can sleep for more than 8 hrs. straight.
The kitchen has anything you need. It is close to everything in Karakol - shops, restaurants and nearby attractions.
The best budget hostel in my life. Very creative and unique idea. Me and my husband were traveling in the north part of Issyk-Kul. We had 1 night in Karakol. I was searching for a hotel there, and found this incredible place. We had everything what we needed for living. The owner Eldar is very friendly and helpful. He gave us advices of the best places to go. Super clean and cozy hostel. Highly recommend!
Now this was a special experience: it started by my pack being cleaned by the staff in order not to bring dirt into the place. Staff was extremely friendly to help with about anything (organizing a PCR test, showing us the way to places, etc). The Japanese owners integrated Japanese architecture and style into the building. Best Breakfast we had in Kyrgistan. Thats the place to be in Karakol.
I will say right away: I haven’t t lived in other hostels in Karakol, but this one is the best.
This is not just a hostel, this is a community of people who travel, go to tracks, share experiences and have fun.
I really like this kind of hostel and highly recommend to stay here.
P.S. There are no questions about the living conditions, there are even curtains on the beds ☺️
Didn't expect to find this nice, comfortable and clean hotel. Food and all-inclusive breakfast at their restaurant were delicious. Administrators (two guys, sorry forgot their names already :-( ) were friendly and very helpful, thank you! All staff was friendly btw. So many benefits for a good price. My partner and I enjoyed staying at the hotel very much. Thanks a lot!
We really loved staying at Ordo Hotel Hostel! It is the best accommodation in Karakol with the most delicious breakfast :-). The host is very nice - helps everyone with any problem or question. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped. It feels like home :-)
The hosts are very friendly. Always available to help with questions about Karakol, even if you don't speak Russian.
The house is large with good spaces, natural light and great view. The bathroom is new, clean and spacious. When I return to Karakol, I want to stay in this house.
The hosts are super nice! We forgot our mobile charger at their hotel and they organized that it was transported to us in Bishkek (free of charge). That was so nice! Thanks again! The rooms are modern and spotless clean. Inside parking is available.
The vibe, the comfort and how cozy the whole place is makes it a perfect place to stay in Karakol. Feels like home just as the name says. The host and owner, Nuraika is an extremely warm and hardworking person and really puts attention to detail.
Very nice tiny hotel in the center of Karakol. Wooden design, nice breakfast, very friendly team. Owner and his family manage it very well. They also very helpful with different questions I had including excursions, city advice etc.
The hostess is friendly, helpful n warm. She even packed lunch for me for free for the journey back to Bishkek. She guided me to tour around Karakol like an old friend. Will strongly recommend to stay in her guest house.
The owner is a guardian angel and the place feels quite literally like a home, the name Nest conveys the feeling of staying here well. Location was the most convenient I found among the hostel I stayed in when in Karakol.
Emir guest house is an incredible place to stay. The host family is wonderful. They are warm and friendly. I already want to go back to Karakol to visit. They really make you feel at home. Everything was fantastic.
Super modern, clean and comfy hostel hotel. Kitchen area to cook and sit. Rooms are more like a hotel with on suite bathroom. Will stay here next time as it's in the centre but quiet in side street. Very nice.
