Osh Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Osh airport is about 10 km from the centre, 15-25 minutes by taxi or on minibuses 107 and 142, which take about 25 minutes and run every 10 minutes between 7:00 and 19:00. The city's hotel supply - Kyrgyzstan's second largest after Bishkek - is small and concentrated around the Jayma Bazaar and the sacred mountain of Sulaiman-Too: there are no international chains, but a few addresses above the regional average.

Osh city centre

City centre · About 10 km and 15-25 minutes by taxi from the airport; alternatively, minibuses 107 and 142 take about 25 minutes, running every 10 minutes from 7:00 to 19:00.

Best for: Travellers visiting the Jayma Bazaar, the sacred mountain of Sulaiman-Too and the rest of the old town on foot or with short taxi rides.

Pros

The only part of town with lodging better than a plain guesthouse
A few minutes from the Jayma Bazaar, one of the largest historic markets in Central Asia, and from Mount Sulaiman-Too

Cons

No international chains: even the best hotels are small, independent properties
Beyond these addresses, the choice quickly drops to very basic guesthouses and hostels
