Spahotell i Kirgizistan

"When you book a hotel like Sheraton, you expect top of the line everything. But Sheraton Bishkek was not that. It wasn't bad or horrible, it just wasn't great. It feels like the hotel is housed in a voiet era apartment building, which means that the elevators are too few and too small. This is compounded by the fact that the lobby is one floor up from the entrance and there are no stairs. The room was ok, except the curtains couldn't be closed (physically - the guiding rails were too short), there was a hole in the carpet and the AC made a lot of noise. The breakfast was lackluster, but ok (except the coffee). The biggest disappointment was that the guy at the check-in desk tried to con my out of 100 USD. I asked about a tour of the city and he suggested a good tour. He could find a driver and he would be my guide himself. Sounds good? Well, he asked 220 USD but the exact same tour was available online from 99 USD. For me as a single traveller, it ended up being 120 USD. The only really good thing about Sheraton Bishkek was the location and the guy at the door. He was very friendly and helpful. All in all not really worth the money."
