🧑‍🤝‍🧑The owners are amazing, super helpful and welcoming. Aizada is always there to make sure we have everything we need, she and her husband are very helpful when it comes to plan something in the area. 📍The location is good : many supermarkets, 2 good restaurants and a nice big park less than 15min walk. The center is maybe 20min by walk but you can also take a bus. 🛏️The dormitories are spacious and they added different curtains in the room for privacy, you really feel you have your own space. 🧺You can easily do laundry for a fee. 🛋️The dining room is well decorated and Cosy, with many couches, free tea and biscuits. 🧀There is a fridge to store your food. 🍻You can also buy fresh drinks directly there. ☕Last but not least, if you are a coffee person, Aizada has a really good delonghi coffee machine and can make you real espresso, latte, cappuccino...

While the location is slightly outside of the main part of town, I thought the experience was 100% worth it. The owners have created a magical oasis at Happy Nomad, with comfortable accommodations, tasty food, and a charming setting. The family is absolutely adorable! Highly recommend.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    The best hostel in Karakol. The owner is very friendly and can help with almost anything you need (booking yurts, permits and the like). Social vibe and some spaces to relax. One of the cleanest places I have visited in all of Kyrgyzstan.

    best hostel I've ever stayed in! the disposition of the rooms is thought to make people feel at ease, there's a garden, a living room, a big kitchen and even inside tents, if you feel up to trying it out! The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful, and even brought us to the train station:) I highly recommend this location! Спасибо большое!

    This is a budget backpackers hostel ( and we are no longer backpackers )but was really good. We had a twin room which was perfectly adequate and clean. The place is made by Aizada and her husband who's name I've forgotten ( humble apologies) and their children. All really helpful/kind/fun. Just a really good vibe

    Jalil and his family were wonderful! We really enjoyed our time with them. It is a small hostel and you get to share the kitchen with the family which makes way for good talks. It is possible to buy cheap dinner from jalils wife (who is an excellent chef)

    I am a repeat guest! I came in the summer during hiking season then returned for skiing season in the winter. Hostel Nice is such a chill hostel. Jen is the sweetest and so so helpful. She looked up things for me to do in Karakol in case I was bored. And she always helped me out - even coming with me to the store to rent snowshoes. Greatest and nicest staff!!! And best hostel in Karakol!!
