It's Kyrgyz four stars, but would be a three style elsewhere. Still, it's one of the best hotels you'll find in Bishkek - AC, ample breakfast, super clean rooms, comfortable beds, english speaking staff. It's not too close to the centre but a short walking distance and there is a shop nearby so it's a very good option if you're looking for a high-end type of accomodation.
The hotel was situated a bit outside the city centre (10 min). The staff was very friendly and would give all the help and explenations a tourist would need. Breakfast was very good! Good hotel were i would like to go back to.
We arrived in the early morning around 4 am and we could book an early check-in and extra breakfast so we could have some rest before starting to explore the city. Bishkek can be visited on foot from the premises of the hotel, but staff will be helpful to order an honest taxidriver if you want to go to places further afield. There are also bus stops in the area if you like to discover the city using public transportation.
Breakfast had a wide selection of western and oriental dishes, both warm, sweets and salads, with enough choice for vegetarians. There is a small courtyard where you can sit outside.
Spent 4nites at grand hotel at recent group of friends tour to Bishkek. They claim 4star but actually 3 with a stand alone two stories building. Reception area is very good well decorated and clean with sufficient sitting space. They have 8rooms at ground level that is in garden area where one can sit relax and smoke. Room is satisfactory with big bed side table sofa and Almirah. It seems bit conjected. Bath is OK but shower broken in my case. Staff is nice cordial English speaking. Best thing is their breakfast spread where you have many stuff oats cornflakes rice bakery items bread fresh fruits etc. It is nice to have sumptuous breakfast every morning. One point worth mentioning that they charge u USD20 if a lady visitor comes to your room.
Great location just 5 minutes walk to the city centre. Also very nice garden in the hotel. The staff are friendly. Good buffet breakfast included. The room we booked was comfy but street side a bit noisy. Highly recommend if you want to stay city centre
