Solutel

My first stay at Solutel was so good that I went back for another three nights at the end of my Kyrgyzstan tour! The hotel is tucked away on a lovely & very quiet dead end street so I slept really soundly. But it is in easy walking to the sites and museums. And to a lovely tree-lined boulevard that was so pleasant to stroll after dinner each night to see families out playing with their children - and to nab a "best ever raspberry sorbet" from a food truck that is on the left as you head toward Ala Too square! Breakfast was great with lots of variety and healthy options. But what made both of my stays so exceptional was how incredibly helpful and polite every single staff member was. As a solo female traveler on my first trip to Kyrgyzstan, I found that really reassuring. They helped with cabs, getting my rapid PCR test (fyi- they have a partnership with the Bonetsky lab so is only cost me about $15), where to buy sea buckthorn berries, ideas for must see spots on my next trip, etc! They delivered exceptional customer service and all with lovely smiles.
