A very nice hotel. The room is clean and unusual. The mattress on the bed is lovely, it's easy to sleep.
There is a balcony that can be accessed.
There is a mini-bar, paid.
On the downside, I didn't find a shoe spoon.
The breakfast buffet is hearty and delicious.
On the downside, coffee from the vending machine.
The hotel is located in the city center, near a park and boulevard square with a monument to Viktor Tsoi, where the final scene of the Needle was filmed.

The hotel is more like a four. I just can't say with a plus or minus, because there are both. So:
pluses:
- good, if not excellent central location. Opposite is the majestic building of the Opera and Ballet Theater.Abaya, it is clearly visible from the balcony. Near pedestrian Panfilov street (local Arbat), squares, monuments (monument to V.Nearby), in short, everything is within walking distance.
- the rooms are quite spacious (mine was definitely rather big) with wide windows from wall to wall
- there is an additional ottoman-type sofa, 2 armchairs and a round table. My university classmates came to see me in the evening, we had a place to sit
- beautiful view from the window (it is better to choose a high floor)
- a good, excellent orthopedic mattress, everyone knows how important it is
- terry bathrobes in the bathroom. I personally never use it, but for ladies it is sometimes a kind of chic element.
- there is a fully stocked minibar
- mosaic panel on the facade. Most likely, this is a Soviet-built building (I think it was built in the 60s and 70s, because the style resembles Soviet modernism, the mosaic panel resembles a similar one on the Pioneer Palace in Moscow)
minuses:
- The ceilings are low
- saturation of the bathroom with soap and shaving accessories is low
- the beautiful carpet is worn in some places, or even burnt
- there is no entrance to the hotel, a taxi cannot drive up, the barrier is closed. I have to run across the street with a suitcase. Not comme il faut.
- and for a snack: I left early in the morning, check-out at 7, breakfast in the dining room from 8 a.m., so there was no official opportunity to have breakfast. The reception offered a lunch box at 6:50, I agreed. They don't bring it into the room. In the morning, I made tea, quickly packed up my things, waited for a knock on the door, but a Yandex taxi arrived, and I had to quickly go down. At the reception, when I handed over the key, I asked about the lunch box, it was given out. "Why didn't you bring it to the room?" - "And we don't carry it to the room.".. I had to swallow a sandwich in a taxi, the driver was watching me closely ...))

A pleasant hotel. Convenient location in the city center.
Small bright rooms, friendly staff. The room has everything you need (bathrobe, slippers, cosmetic kit, dental kit), a full minibar. Good sound insulation.
The room has a balcony where smoking is allowed (there is an ashtray).
Very average breakfasts (buffet in the Zina restaurant), poor choice, do not make scrambled eggs /omelet for guests (everything hot is on display: mashed potatoes, sausages, buckwheat, stewed vegetables, scrambled eggs, omelet, porridge).There was no coffee at breakfast, they offered to buy it from the menu. The next day, a thermos of coffee appeared).
The breakfast tables are filled with dirty dishes (waiters chat among themselves or sit on the phone), the kitchen staff (in a cap and slates) goes out to eat at the buffet....
In general, breakfast is the weak point of the hotel, everything else is good 👌🏻

In my opinion, the best hotel in the city in terms of a combination of parameters: price / quality / location. The new rooms are nice. Among the disadvantages are cheap plumbing and hot water (sometimes you need to spill it for 5 minutes to wait for it). Breakfasts for 3-4 if you're lucky.

In general, the updated rooms are super. The location of the hotel is very super too. Breakfasts are generally normal for this price range. It will probably become my favorite hotel in Almaty, if at the same time they keep the pricing policy

The hotel itself, it is clear that after the upgrade (repair), but it was very cold in the room (10/23/2024). The room itself was very clean. The kitchen of the hotel, and hesitated to try it:) The reception is well done, the staff is good. It would have been 5 stars, but we were frozen with a child.

The location is excellent, the views from the window are the most beautiful. The hotel only has a more or less modern facade and lobby. The lighting in the lobby is weak. Rooms with peeling wallpaper on the walls. The wallpaper is cheap and ugly. The elevator may not work for two or three days. The prices for the level of grooming of this hotel are too high.
It's a pity you can't give a 3.5 rating - this is exactly what they deserve in my opinion. The staff, as in general in our country, is not smiling.

The location is very good. If you are a tourist, then this is a great place to walk around the city. Nearby there are beautiful alleys for walking, a theater, many cafes and restaurants. The hotel itself is generally not bad, but it is already worn out. The rooms often have the smell of cigarettes, which cannot be eroded. Sometimes the sockets don't work. A slightly tired shower, but it's like a number to tell. If possible, take a junior suite

The rooms here are different, once I was just lucky - I got a very decent room on the 6th floor.In October, we stayed at this hotel again and were not lucky with the room at all: there is mold in the bathroom, the room is very old, the table is dilapidated, full of cracks, the chair is all in some small holes (apparently, once the room was for smokers, obviously burnt), the smell in the room is old the refrigerator turned off twice at night, and smelled bad in the morning. In general, the room on the 5th floor is simply incomparable with the 6th. Well, the breakfasts at the hotel are always delicious!

The location is, of course, a dozen! But the hotel is tired: the furniture is very old. It's good that granite floors, showers, etc. were laid out at the time, this still holds.
The bed is good, the towels are not quite white, but there is no greyness either. Great slippers!!! There is a tea corner, 2 bottles of drinking water are provided every day. Large wardrobe, safe, beautiful floor-to-ceiling French windows. There are many catering establishments within walking distance. Breakfasts for 4 out of 5. Why? The dishes are almost cold, a small choice for those on PP.
Of the big disadvantages: it takes a long time to drain the water so that it becomes hot

The hotel is located in the most convenient location in Almaty, and all the advantages end there. The rooms are cold, heating is not turned on as of October 21, although the heating season has started in the whole city since October 11. The air conditioning in the room did not work, the door handle fell off, there were 3 TVs in the room, but 1 remote control. The breakfasts are very budget-friendly and monotonous. The staff is poorly trained, do not know anything and are very lazy. The price of the rooms in the hotel is quite high, which does not correspond at all to the services provided.

The room has everything you need (water, tea/coffee, bathrobe, slippers, shower set, wifi, etc.). Very comfortable clean bed, cleaning every day, changing towels. The size of the room, including the bathroom is small, but it was enough for me, very cozy. Delicious varied breakfasts. 2 restaurants. The location of the hotel is wonderful. I want to come back here as a tourist, when there are numerous fountains around and you can enjoy living in this wonderful city slowly.

I got into the offseason, booked a regular room and got twice as expensive. Heating is not provided on time, the room was dog-cold. The bed is uncomfortable. A lumpy mattress, a downy, non-breathable blanket. I gave away a lot of money, no comfort. Warm up with a conditioner, they said at the reception. The place is very convenient. I do not recommend anyone who likes comfort, the price does not match the quality.

Convenient location, near the hotel metro and various cafes, Halyk bank and currency exchange. I lived in a single room, the room is already in need of renovation. The breakfasts are mediocre. If you have an early departure, then be prepared for the fact that in the morning, in order for hot water to appear, it needs to be run for about 10-15 minutes.
