This family-run guesthouse in the centre of town has just seven beds in three shared rooms, but the friendly and accommodating hosts make guests feel at home. Look for the tiny blue 'Information' sign on Israilov on the second block north of the bazaar.
The son of the family, who speaks English and French, can arrange tours to the nearby Chychkan canyon or Ak-Köl lake as well as points further afield.
