Hotels in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan

There are plenty of public transport options from nearly all Bishkek hotels, including Marshrutka (minibusses), trolleybuses, buses and taxis. The Marshrutka is a cheap and convenient option, found almost anywhere in the city. However, they can get uncomfortably crowded, and the drivers love to go fast! To have convenience and comfort at your doorstep, it’s a good idea to book hotels in Bishkek’s city center. This area is quite small, with the intersection of Chuy Ave and Yusup Abdrakhmanov Street forming the heart of the neighborhood. This will place you a short walk from the train station and within easy reach of the buses and trolleybuses.

Bishkek is divided into four main districts: Birinchi May, Lenin, Sverdlov and Oktyabr. Whether you’re a business traveler, tourist or backpacker, it’s a good idea is to look for hotels in Bishkek’s Birinchi May District, specifically the city center. You’ll find nearly everything at your doorstep here, from nightlife and restaurants to the city’s most beautiful monuments, museums and attractions. The center of the Birinchi May District – marked by the intersection of Chuy Ave and Yusup Abdrakhmanov Street – also offers you easy access to the train, bus and trolleybus stations. It’s also an ideal spot to jump on a Marshrutka (minibus) if you’re feeling adventurous and want to explore the Lenin, Sverdlov and Oktyabr districts. While these are mostly residential areas, you will find a fascinating slice of Kyrgyz life by exploring their streets.

Many people look for cheap hotels in Bishkek so they can venture out to the Ala Archa National Park and the Kyrgyz Ala-Too mountains to explore the glaciers, hot springs and wildlife trails. Though these are worthy of finding a place on your travel itinerary, there’s so much to see and do in the city itself. The Ballet Theater, State Museum, Old Railway Station and Kyrgyz State Philharmonic Hall offer a chance to take in the unique beauty of Soviet architecture. Then there’s the legendary Osh Bazaar. Located in the Birinchi May District, right by the Western Bus Station, this open-air market is a great place to dive into Kyrgyz culture. You’ll find everything from souvenirs to national delicacies, all collected in a vibrant swirl of sumptuous smells and colors.

Finding great hotels in Bishkek is only the first step of your adventure in this culturally rich city. The next thing you’ll want to find is the fine food and nightlife. The center of the city offers a glorious concentration of both, with some of Biskek’s most well-known restaurants, cafes and bars all concentrated here. If you’re hankering for a chance to dance a whole night away, GQ and the Promzona Club will keep you moving until sunrise. For those who prefer a more relaxed evening ambiance, Cafe Faiza offers the chance to people-watch while enjoying local Kyrgyz cuisine. Either way, you’ll be in easy reach of buses, trolleybuses and taxis when it’s time to call it a night.
