2/10 Poor

Going to have to pay double
We prepaid at the time of our booking. On arrival to the hotel they wouldn’t believe us. Dont use this service. There is such poor communication, loss of booking, and inability to unstand how booking online works.

4/10 Fair

Very old hotel, nice location but expensive pickup
The hotel charged me USD 38 for hotel pick. That is 12,500 tenge. The average rate is 3,000 tenge. I took Uber going back to airport and costed me 2,000 tenge. I complained about it but reception said that was their contract with the supplier. They should know better and arranged for a fair costing. It was too late for me to decline bec driver was in the airport already and it was immediate booking. Hotel facade was far from the pictures. It is a very old hotel with old design and furnitures. Good things about the hotel are location and is a bit clean. This is not value for money.

Convenient hotel but ancient
Old hotel, amenities very limited, furnishings are old and the cupboards in the room was broken, we stayed there for a short night at a low price before a 6am flight so it was not bad!
