If it wasn’t for the management of the Solutel in Bishkek , I would have had much greater difficulty returning from Ala-Archa National Park in the Tian Shan mountains. They were a great help, and managed to get us home when we were in dire straits.

As hotels go, the Solutel is superb. It’s just up the road from its sister lodgings, the Ambassador, but even more luxurious. The bar and restaurant on the ground floor are perfect for a quick business lunch, or a long dinner and drinks.

The rooms are huge, dwarfing the massive, comfortable beds, and hold soft sofas and armchairs. Everything has been designed for comfort and relaxation, but also to make sure that you have everything you need to get a bit of work done.
