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.

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!

Perfectly good InTourist-type hotel.

Good enough, and good price. Right across the street from the big wooden cathedral, where the singing during mass is extraordinary.

Great location, but its not 4-star

Very convenient location. Service is excellent, very helpful staff. Great breakfast. Downsides: its not a 4 star hotel as claimed. And the shower was not in good condition

記載事項と異なる点多々あり。

記載のプールは存在しません。期待してわざわざ水着とそれ用のタオルやゴーグルまで購入したのにガッカリ。また3泊の滞在中清掃やタオル交換は一度もなかった。記載の空港迎えも無し。滞在中何度もレセプションが鳴る電話を無視している様を見てしまった。そりゃホテルズドットコムに掛けて貰っても繋がらないし、あの感じだとメールにも返信しないよね。加えて記載の観光チケット手配も無し。目の前の公園内の心許無い観光案内所に到着後縋るしかない。だが此処で紹介して戴いた所からチャリン渓谷や多ンガリに行く事が出来た。立地は最高。美しいゼンコフ教会を気軽に何度も訪ねてしまった。

Si lo escoges te arrepentirás

El peor Hotel, que he estado en mi vida. Lo escogimos porque decía que tenía piscina, pero no es cierto. En recepción nadie hablaba inglés y resulta imposible entenderse. El Wi-Fi no funcionaba. Al final consiguieron conectarme mi teléfono pero no el de mi esposa. La habitación es diminuta con camas de 80 × 1 80 y colchones viejos. El aire acondicionado antiguo hacía un ruido ensordecedor, pero si lo desconectabas te asabas. La televisión antigua tampoco funcionó. El baño ridículamente pequeño y parecido al que tenía mi abuela. Este Hotel tuvo esplendor los años 60 y ahora esta totalmente desfasado. Cuando llegamos una pareja de alemanes se marchaba viendo el estado; eso debimos haber hecho nosotros.

パンフィロフ公園すぐ近くのホテル

パンフィロフ公園のすぐ近くなので、ゼンコフ正教会もすぐ近くとなります。コクトベパークへのロープウェイ乗り場までも何とか歩いていけました。空港までのタクシーも1800テンゲぐらいで手配もしてくれました。

Really hard beds but the staff was nice

The beds were extremely hard, which kinda ruined the whole stay. The hotel is also quite old. The breakfast was not great. But the staff was very nice and helpful.
