The location was convenient for sightseeing, with a supermarket within walking distance and a restaurant on the same premises, right in front of the bus terminal from Almaty, Kazakhstan. The showers were shared, and many guests stayed up late drinking, but overall it was no problem. The common areas were ample, and the staff were friendly.

I like it because the hotel is near the Western Bus Terminal. You were so kind and even booked our plane tickets, so we had a great ride. If you come to Bishkek, I highly recommend the Apple Hostel near the West Terminal. The bus to Karakol departs from here.

Everything was fine, just give a deposit, then wait for this deposit for several days is inconvenient.

Not what you are expecting outside, outside is not that pleasant but when u open the gate it was very nice. They have a 🛖 and a 24hours open canteen and with english speakers. Bring your own toiletries. Place is near the bus station who wants to go to kazakhstan. They also have a lot of tours, rent a car/bike

If you're a solo travelers looking to meet people, I'd highly recommend staying here. They have daily activities to ensure that guests interact with each other. I arrived on a Thursday, which turned out to be Plov night so I even had free dinner :) Facilities were great. It's not a new hostel but everything is well maintained. The free breakfast which is served at the restaurant next door (which is open 24/7 btw) is pretty good. The location is great if you're coming from the Western Bus Station or if you need to be close to it because this hostel is less than 5 minutes away on foot. I have to admit the location isn't ideal if you want to explore the city because it's not centrally located, but public transport in Bishkek is cheap anyway. Besides, if you stay here you'd easily find someone to explore the city with.

I stayed at the Apple hostel for 4 days and enjoyed my stay! Apple hostel has a polite and helpful staff. Also cleanliness and design of the hostel are good. There are quite interesting books, booklets and journals to read at the hostel. The coworking zone is additional plus. There is also quite good canteen with reasonable prices called Daamduu close to the hostel. The hostel provides some meal for breakfast at the canteen. Moreover, the hostel organizes quite interesting events during the week as preparing some food, going to the tour and watching film. We prepared delicious palaw (plov) and had fun cooking it! Also the tour to the beautiful Ala Archa national reserve was great! Kop rahmet and all the best to the staff of Apple hostel! Aydos from Republic of Karakalpakstan

I really like this place! Friendly staff, nice breakfast, good hangout spot. They organize day trips to Ala Archa and other places for more days! All the nights we were there they had activities during the evenings, like movie night, game night, cooking together etc! We enjoyed our stay, will be back!🇸🇪❤️

We were close to die !!! The car had no brakes, problem with electric system, with doors... Would not recommend to ANY tourist to deal with Aïgul Kubatbekova or Apple Hostel. Not professionnal, agressive. And at the end of our journey, she kept our deposit to pay her mechanical repairment. Run, run, run !!!
Response from Property: Hi there, It is sad to read your review based on the false information. First of all, it is impossible for our cars to have no brakes - before and after each rental they go through diagnostics because it is in out interest for guests to have a safe journey. Next, indeed one car door was not opening properly and it was connected to electrical issue, however I told you about it when you were renting the car and three other doors were working perfectly. And last, I do not remember the exact amount but it was around $20 that we deducted from the $300 deposit because of the condition that you returned the car in - i.e. the internal part which was covered in layers of mud. According to the car rental contract you have to return the car in clean condition - both inside and out which you have signed before you took off. So yes, please keep running without turning back, All the best Aigul

THERE'S A YURT IN THE HOSTEL COMPOUND, WE REPEAT A YURT IN THE HOSTEL COMPOUND! What a welcome to the hostel to walk through the gates and look to your left to see a f*****g yurt, absolute belter! There may not be an abundance of apples situated around Apple Hostel but there's a yurt! Apple Hostel, situated west of the Western Bus Station in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan is in such a quality location. You come off a long bus ride from Tashkent, walk west for 2 mins and hiya pal you're being welcomed by the yurt. Take the Matrushka from Almaty, Kazakhstan and hiya gal pals you're in the Apple hostel compound. The Western Bus Station may not be located in downtown Bishkek (aye no s**t loser travels it's called western for a reason), but it's not far from quite a few attractions. From Apple Hostel to the notable Osh Bazaar it's only a 25-minute walk and after buying yourself a cute Kalpak to show off to the girlies back home, you can walk the same amount of time to downtown Bishkek. check out losertravels.com for the full review!

The staff was very nice and our room was clean and comfortable. It is conveniently located next to the bus/taxi station so getting around was easy. They organized an airport pickup for us and were helpful! Nice budget place!

Wonderful owners and very knowledgeable. They make you feel at home! Grocery store and bus station are super close while the center of town is a short (and very cheap) cab ride away. The beds are comfortable, the AC is effective, and it’s quite easy making friends as a solo traveler! Highly recommend.

I had a terrible experience staying at this place. Here is why: When i book this place from a website my payment was confirmed with everything included taxes and fees + the breakfast. When i arrived the receptionist girl "Saygul" charged me additional 3 percent of the total amount because i was paying with a credit card. The credit card info was already saved on the website and the price was confirmed. On my first two days of staying at this hostel i haven't had any breakfast at the facility next to the hostel because i was eating out most of the time.Yesterday i extended my stay for another two days in a single private room and i was confirmed that the breakfast was included with the price. However, this morning when i asked the same girl "saigull" (I maybe wrong pronouncing her name). where i can have the breakfast she told me that breakfast was not included with your price. When i said no we already confirmed that the breakfast was included she was keep saying no and giving me an attitude. As soon as i asked her the owner's number she gave me the voucher immediately. So, What i am trying to say is the staff is not reliable here and they don't have any problems talking back to the customers. Please, before booking your stay here make sure that you have a written confirmation about the what you getting with the price. Because after you pay they change the story. I have a feeling that they either keep the vouchers for their selves or maybe the restaurant next to the hostel charging the hostel for each voucher. Something is fishy there. By the way, Wifi, and water pressure on the shower are very weak. Common areas are very dirty as well. I woudln't recommend this place to anyone.
