“Semi-post-Soviet hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 September 2011
2
people found this review helpful

First thing to know here is that there are two separate enterprises going on under one (very big) roof: the vintage Soviet-era Dostuk Hotel operating to all appearances unchanged; and a separate hostelry being called the Club Dostuk located on the 5th floor (the subject under review). A strange arrangement, or part of a trend conjured up as a b-school textbook exercise, the Club Dostuk is everything the larger Dostuk is not: renovated, small-scale, equivalent to an IBIS in style, comprised of about 30 rooms, two of which provide the space for the (included) breakfast service, which is varied and will be prepared to request. Just ask. You can't turn around in the small hallway without bumping into hotel employees: ubiquitous security patrols the space between the elevator and the desk, which is staffed by English-proficient youth rotelike, a preview of what Kyrgystan will be like if/when neo-liberalism ever arrives. Room itself is small, cozy -- apparently comfortable bed space the key asset here, and sleeping conditions are good. Bathrooms with fully-functioning systems are another selling point. Side of building facing away from Victory Square was quiet. Included with internet and Cable TV that has one channel of each language, although most guests appeared to be biznesmen, Russian-speaking. For guest to visit after 11 pm, charge is twenty dollars. Airport pick-up and drop-off is included in the $90 room rate, or it may not be. A good place to stay if you're romping a weekend in Bishkek. Dostuk nightclub not especially popular, but others nearby although you'll need to rely on cabs.

“Ridiculously overpriced”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I find it hard to believe the other reviews - were they written by hotel staff???

This hotel is actually one floor of the Dustok hotel that has undergone a cheap renovation. I dont have any complaints about the room. The breakfast cannot be called breakfast. I would happily eat local food, but the options were toast or toast.

Staff are pleasant.

We were charged $US110 for a double room. I have not looked inside other hotels in Bishkek, but I find it hard to believe there is not better value elsewhere. This is a simple clean room effectively with no breakfast in a hotel with no facilities. Last time I checked the map Bishkek was in Kyrgyzstan not Japan. Extremely bad value for money.

“Enjoyed rly much=)”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 August 2011

I stayed in this hotel for 5 days, what can i say, it worth of its money, Rooms are very clean and cozy, housekeepers are honestly earn their money)

The personel is really friendly and helpful, they are always ready to do a good turn,
There is a transportation from or to airport, free wi-fi, continental breakfast, Location is just perfect, near the "Victory square", in the downtown.

i'd like to recommend this hotel to everybody.

“Forget the outside and catch lift to level 5”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 July 2011

Ok, so this is not the hotel to impress your friends from the outside, it is a typical grim soviet monster, but the lift takes you to level 5 "Club Dostuk", where you meet all the mod cons you need. Everything is new and clean, fresh white sheets and towels, Hot water, bath and comfortable bed and pillows. Excellent wi fi facilities with desk /chair and power points. No need to squeeze under the bed looking. Flat screen TV with numerous channels, sadly not much in English though. Breakfast included, cereals, bread, cold cuts, all fine. and pick up from airport, which is 1/2 hr away. Location perfect for exploring the city by food. For a couple of nights a great business or tourist hotel but not one for those wanting resort style living.

Room Tip: Want mountain views, take uneven number

“Very cosy and cost effective”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 March 2011

I stayed at the Club Hotel Dostuk for a week and I must stay the quality of stay was higher than expectations. For $90 USD the room is cosy (seems recently refurbished) with LCD TV and comfortable bed. It's a bit small but OK for one person with a desk and multiple electrical sockets (european style). There is a free breakfast available in the morning, it's not a huge buffet but enough before rush to work. The service is good and there is a receptionist always on duty and very polite. There is free internet wifi but sometimes the router is down and need reset. Internet speed is very slow in the evening (congested). The bathroom is brand new with hot water. I recommend. The TV broadcast international channels but the quality is average...

Note that the Dosktuk Club Hotel is the 5th floor of the entire soviet Dostuk Hotel. An investor bought the 5th floor and renovated into a cosy hotel with international standards. The rest is soviet style!
