I spent four days here while on business in Bishkek. The staff are friendly. Location is good. The sauna is relaxing. Would stay here again.

We stayed at Silk Road Lodge for 2 weeks at the beginning of this year. It was well worth of it. This was my third stay at this hotel, this time I saw hallways, lobby and restaurant renovated. It is extra-cozy and looks fancy. There was a lot of light from the big windows in my room. After a long flight and a long drive from Almaty to Bishkek, it was a great place with a great King bed. My room was big enough to take in 5 people at a time, but I stayed alone in the room next to the elevator. Hotel employees were very friendly but serious guys. Security was always welcoming. Hotel manager was always in the lobby area greeting us.

There were news channels in English, one can dream about being in Central Asia. the most liked feature is the free library in business center.

I can not say anything bad about the hotel, it is far better than most of the hotels in US.

I love this guesthouse. While others might find it threadbare, I find it homey. Rooms are large and airy with good window light and comfortable furniture. Amenities serve expat/UN workers well: coffee pot, mini fridge, sink, ironing board, internet, TV/DVD player and exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. If you are here for a while, be sure to ask the manager about recommendations for local tour guides who will take you into the stunning nearby mountains for hikes. picnics, etc. I travel for work constantly and only wish I had everywhere the kind of relationship with hotel staff that I have here.

As others said, this is a good hotel with spacious rooms (at least the deluxe one I was in), helpful staff, very clean rooms and a good location. The facilities in the room (fridge, air conditioning, kettle, safe) made my stay comfortable. I can only remark that the breakfast is not enticing, at least to my western taste, and that the Internet connection is capped at 100MB per day. One last thing: the breakfast room/restaurant is in the basement, which is rather melancholic.
