Of all the places I visited in Kyrgyzstan over the last one week, I seem to have developed a certain fondness for Karakol - a picturesque little town surrounded by snow-capped peaks of the Tianshan Mountains, south-east of Lake Issyk-kul. Beyond the natural beauty of the place and its friendly people, what made my visit really special was the familial atmosphere of the lovely homestay, run by Ahmed and Family. Not too far from a supermarket and café, and within walking distance of the city centre, Hillside Karakol is perfectly located in a quiet neighborhood. It has clean, adequately sized rooms with attached bathrooms. The large common dining and kitchen area on the ground floor is a great hangout if you're traveling in a biggish group (we were six). Ahmed helped us order-in delicious food from a restaurant in town for dinner both nights. And then at breakfast, when I tasted their freshly made pancakes with the homemade blackberry and apricot jams, I was immediately hooked even though I'm neither into pancakes nor breakfast in general. We had originally planned to stay a single night but had to extend because of car trouble. Luckily, Ahmed was able to accommodate us at very short notice. He even put us in touch with Kudrat who runs a travel agency (https://g.co/kgs/ktJezZQ) and arranged our journey back to Bishkek that included a couple of sightseeing stops along the south shoreline of the lake. A wonderful experience overall, made all the more easier with Ahmed and Kudrat's grasp over the English language, which meant not having to resort to Google Translate every other second. Adding one suggestion for Ahmed at Hillside Karakol on behalf of a friend from our group - please think of equipping the rooms with some bedside reading light. Thank you again... I'll be back!

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 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.
This is the nicest and most original hostel I have stayed at in Kyrgyzstan. It is clean, cosy and ideal for backpackers. The tents inside are a great idea and they are really comfortable. The living room / kitchen is a huge space that has everything you need to rest (cosy sofas and armchairs) and cook. The bathrooms are clean and have hot water. The location is good, close to the main attractions in Karakol (Dungan mosque, Holy Trinity church, supermarket... ). I recommended this hostel to all travellers :)
We stayed in a private room with a queen bed. Nice newly renovated hostel. Everything is clean and new. 3 shower stalls and 3 toilet stalls, though only 2 of each were open while we were there. The staff did a good job keeping everything clean. They have a washing machine, so laundry is possible for 150 som. The location is convenient for navigation around the region (walking distance to major taxi/bus hubs, which is especially important in Karakol, where everything is spread out).
The family is lovely and helpful and each one of them is friendly 💜💜 its location near the city center, the room is clean, comfortable and quite, with a balcony and a clean private bathroom, and warm water, there were warm, clean, good blankets and covers, also they help us in our questions during our visit to Karakol 😁💜💜 if we came to Karakol in future with our friends we will choose for sure this sweet Janat family guesthouse 🥰😍🌷🌷.
If you think, what place to choose in Karakol for accommodation, take this one. It's run by Dunkan (originally from China) family and their hosting is really a class. Unfortunately, you need to manage Russian (what I do). Anyway, their breakfast is something itself.
There is nothing luxury and it was pretty cold in a room but the heater was organised. Wifi was strong and there are marshrutkas nearby (200 m) to bus station.
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.
Super nice and helpful host, delicious breakfast, clean and new facilities, great atmosphere, excellent value for money. The hotel can provide good quality trekking gear (tent, sleeping mats etc.) and transportation to trailheads. We were also given an opportunity to leave our stuff for free in the lobby while away trekking for 4 days.
A cosy and spacious room with a comfortable bed. The guesthouse is very quiet, hosted by a kind and friendly older couple. Very centrally located to Karakol. There are good cheap food options in Karakol so we didn't cook but the kitchen is available for guests.
Our host was kind enough to let us store luggage while we were trekking.
This was a great guesthouse only 10 minutes from the center of Karakol. The owners are extremely kind and spent time to get to know us and talk to us. They also helped us arrange transportation to the local ski resort at a much more reasonable price than we could find ourselves. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!
Staff was extremely kind and attentive. They greeted every guest with a sign in their native language, were cheerful and helpful in general, and gave good restaurant/activity recommendations. Rooms were decent, and the hotel itself was extremely good value. Breakfast was superb both in terms of choice and quality.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Pleasant little hotel, decent room, excellent value for money.
Breakfast was very good. Staff were helpful with laundry, directions and even hooked us up with our driver for 3 days through Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. Recommended.
The host is very friendly. The bathroom is spacious, clean, and has warm water. The rooms are cozy and each bed has an outlet, which is convenient. After checking out, we kept our luggage for free. If I go to Karakol again, I will stay here again.
The hotel is really excellent. Shahiza and her family are making a good effort to feel like home. Rooms are specious and comfortable.
Breakfast is on a buffet, offers good variety and espresso coffee for the espresso lovers :)
