This was a wonderful stay in a great little hotel off the beaten track in Kochkor. It's located in a village called Bolshevik about 10 mins drive outside the town and is hosted by the really friendly and amiable Saikal. We would very much recommend staying here (and note there are only a few reviews so far because it only opened in spring 2026!). Many more (positive reviews) will follow!
Thanks for its existence in the region. Otherwise, I would have had to go another hour to find a hotel. It’s very affordable and good for overnight stay while doing a motorcycle tour. There is an artwork right in front of the hotel. There is a friendly restaurant 1 min away.
