Hostels in Issyk-Kul Region

"There was a dead mouse with flies and maggots in the first room given to me. Attention was lacking. They gave me another room and apologized. There was a live mouse in the next room. Careful with bringing groceries, but this is necessary as no dinner was available. The owner didn’t seem too interested in providing a good experience but maybe it was a cultural and language barrier. I didn’t like the floodlight 100 ft outside my room. Darkness to be able to appreciate the stars fully would be better, but maybe it is a safety issue. Breakfast was good. The dog onsite is playful and means well but can get bitey when playing. Treats you more like another dog. Also, she is a bit rough with the kitten onsite. Overall good experience and i would stay again. Good for what is available in the area, though not the best. We had a private shower and toilet in a side room. Shower hot water was VERY difficult to control. It is right near the beach. 2-3 minute walk and can hear the waves. Nice swings on the beach. Good place. 3.5 out of 5. Check your room. The drapes around the periphery can hide things and difficult to clean under them. "

"Good value for your money, it was clean, safe, and adequate. AC in room would have been a plus."
