Hillside Karakol B&B, hotel in Karakol

Located in Karakol, Hillside Karakol B&B features a garden, shared lounge, terrace, and free WiFi throughout the property. The property provides a shared kitchen, and luggage storage for guests.

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.

    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).

    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!

    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.

    Good location, near the commercial area with grocery shops and restaurant. And "Destination Karakol" just around the corner. A good vibe and good place to meet fellow travellers to exchange information and tips. Reception also provide good information on day or days hike. And you can leave your luggage in the "locker" room.
