everything was perfect, helpful lady owner, sitting in the yard

This is indeed a guesthouse. After 1 night in a place that was not great, I booked Guest House Crocus for the remainder of my stay. Though I did checkout a few days early. - You get breakfast every day. You can choose the time (e.g. between 9am-11am). The variation in the breakfast was welcome, but I'd say that the regular oatmeal and rice-based "oatmeal" were nice. The rice one was new for me. I forget the other selections, but never had a problem with them. See my pictures. - Chinara is a great host. I added her number on WhatsApp to be able to communicate message more easily. I do not speak Russian, so I appreciate the patience with Yandex and Google Translation. - I was not rushed for payments, and paid after my first 3 nights. Then again after another three. I paid in cash. - There are two convenience stores and a pharmacy just one block up, a 3 minute walk. Getting to Chuy Avenue (best street) takes longer, and you may want to use YandexGo to get a ride. ---- WARNING! 90% of driver swerve around the most miniscule potholes, dips, air vents, and manholes in the road. Yet they drive fairly modern cars (albeit many have cracked windshields_. It makes no sense. It's annoying. They already drive impatiently and too quickly at times, and it's dangerous, with them coming within inches of bumping into pedestrians. For what reason? Because there's a 1-2 inch dip in the road. In short, the driving is bad. ---- My room seemed to have a draft or something, as it stayed colder than I expected. Good deal in the summer months, but you'll otherwise want to keep your warm socks on, and not lounge around in a t-shirt. It's possible to pay on-site to get some laundry done. I never opted for this. Since a family lives in the other part of the house, it's better to be back before 11 I guess. The front door didn't always cooperate with the key I had.

No real complaints. However, I think the front door will not allow me to open it with a key, if the key is left in the keyhole on the other side. Therefore, when you lock the front door at night, remove the key. That way, a guest returning from the outside, will be able to use their key to unlock the door from the outside. In short, both keys cannot be in the door at the same time. Otherwise, the key on the outside will not be able to unlock the door.

Хозяйка готовит вкусные сытные завтраки, всегда разнообразные. Я, например, не фанат каш, но как выяснилось, я просто вкусных каш не ела)) А тут выметала с удовольствием всё, что подавали на завтрак В комнате и во всем доме чисто, неплохая звукоизоляция стен, комфортный санузел

Наличие в номере по-умолчанию чашки и небольшого электрического чайника было бы удобнее и хозяйке, и гостям - когда мне он очень понадобился, пришлось поздно вечером идти к хозяйке, было неудобно в столь поздний час тревожить, но уж очень было нужно В комнате, где я жила, была на мой рост низковато расположена раковина, но у меня особого дискомфорта это не вызвало - просто чуть менее удобно было умываться. Но если человек высокий и с ограничением подвижности в спине, это может доставить больше неудобств

Cosy accommodation for any kind of travelers. You always can ask friendly owners for advice or assistance. I enjoyed my stay here for whole month and definitely stay again my next trip to Bishkek.

Nice and positive host. Pictures of mountains on walls. Good breakfast.

There's a pretty nice atmosphere in this guest house. I felt like I am at home. A hostess is the best.

The family is really nce. We also stayed here 15 years ago. And it looks like the time stood still.
