    homestay in Cholpon-Ata

    There are plenty of homestays, around here,so I wouldn't be concerned at all about finding accommodation. When you arrive with your luggage by bus, you will be surrounded by people wanting you to stay at their home. If by chance there was no one there to tell you about there wonderful place, just keep walking along the main road and you will see plenty of signs, advertising room available (komnat in Russian). All provide meals, but check before hand. Don't expect the same amenities as western homes. You may not have running water, and chances are you'll have a disgusting pit toilet! However, chances are your hosts will be wonderfully friendly and helpful, even if they don't speak a word of English.
    The Homestay I decided on was advertised as a popular place in the Lonely Planet. Subsequent to staying there I have read that Natalia past away. Don't know if it is still available but it was a very pleasant household and nice backyard. Has a great book full of travellers comments and pictures.
    I picked up the latest Lonely Planet guide and it is no longer mentioned. Don't fret! You'll find somewhere easily enough!

    The Castle Hotel, Cholpon Ata: Home from Home (Well its OK if your British)
  • Satisfaction:
  • By NBrowne174 on October 19, 2007
    • Not exactly cheap compared to homestay or 'local accommodation", but if you enjoy your creature comforts like a hot shower and flushing toilets which are really clean, then its worth it. A short stroll to the beach was about 8mins, but the owners could drive you there in their off-road if you felt particularly lazy.

    Really relaxing and the roof terrace where we had our "sun downers" was superb. Look north to the snow capped mountains or south to the lake and the siuthern shore.

    Night life in Cholpon Ata a little basic but fun after a few beers. Locals very friendly.

    The owners are British so no language or food problems there, and able to offer advice, sites to visit and transport.

    A great time. Wish I could have stayed longer.

    Great views from the Roof Terrace cafe, mountains and lakes.
    Quite and relaxing.
    Owners really helpful.
    Good sandy beach nearby.
