Being a small hotel with a friendly atmosphere, the Silk Road Lodge is popular with a wide variety of guests drawn from over 75 nationalities, (such as American, British, French, German, Japanese, Kyrgyz, Russian and Uzbek), whether they are tourists on an organized tour, businessmen, consultants, officials or simply visitors to Kyrgyzstan. Many of them are repeat visitors, and several choose the Silk Road Lodge for a ‘long term’ stay as their “home away from home”.

 

Here are just some of the comments from the hotel's comments book:

"I stayed in your hotel on business from 10th to 15th December 2004. I travel a great deal in the course of my work, but it would be no exaggeration to say that the staff at the Silk Road Lodge Hotel are the most friendly, helpful and professional individuals I have encountered in the hotel industry for quite some time. It was a thoroughly positive experience to stay at your hotel".

 "I have traveled internationally to all parts of the world for between 4 to 8 months a year over the last 13 years. It was not until I came to the Silk Road Lodge that I stayed at a hotel that truly exemplifies customer service in all aspects of its dealing with its guests".
