Interhouse City Centre

There are two hostels in Bishkek with confusingly similar names, and I guess under the same ownership. But the similarities seem to end there, because the other one gets mixed and even negative reviews, and this one - City Centre - overwhelmingly positive, and deservedly so. The location is perfect, staff are wonderfully helpful and pleasant (and speak English in addition to several other languages). I stayed (alone) in a single room, but there's the kitchen and commonroom for socialising. There's a hot breakfast (porridge and eggs, in addition to bread, tomatoes, and cucumbers) every morning. They let me leave my stuff here when I went off for a few days, which was greatly appreciated, as was the clothes washing service (for a small fee). It's true there's only two toilets, which are thankfully separate from the two showers, but as I was here in the off season it wasn't at full occupancy so this wasn't a problem. But the staff (Asel and Begeyeen) and pure wonderful. Warm thanks!
