It was clean, quiet

Needs: Curtains for each bed Power sockets Towels Slippers More sitting areas inside + working station/ table mirrors in each room Quality soaps

I stayed only cuople of hours between two overnight flights, did not spent night there. Staff checked me in 2 hours earlier, what I appreciated. Perfect location to centre, cable car to Kok Tobe and cheap good local cantine Kaganat.

I stayed in a room on the ground floor packed with bunk beds for 8 people. In fact it was not room, but back part of reception separated from general area only by curtain, so you must listen to all the noises and vioces of people coming inside and outside the house and stuff regarding reception. So for those who need a bit of silence or have light sleep, not the best option. To be fair, this regards only this room I stayed in, other rooms having doors may be better. 2 toilets for so many guests must be problem mainly in the morning.

Basically a family home with the rooms converted to dormitories. It feels comfortable and homely and is in an ideal location just on the edge of the city centre with plenty of restaurants and coffee shops within a few minutes walk. The staff are friendly and it’s good value for money.

Occasional queues for the bathroom, but not a major problem if you’re flexible with when you shower! The kitchen only has one hob so can’t accommodate lots of people cooking at the same time. One final thing - there’s no sign anywhere on the outside of the property so I found it hard to find, especially as the location is slightly wrong on google maps!

Wonderful geographical location. Be closed to the Republic palace, shopping mail, restaurants and Cable car to Koko tobe.

Crowded. always line up in toilet and shower.

The atmosphere, hospitality and friendly staff of the hostel. The location is ideal, in the centre of the city with quick access to most of the services. Nice nature and the mountains close to the hostel.

Need more sockets to charge phones. But this is a very minor issue. The hostel staff was very kind to provide us space on their desk to charge phone over night.
