    The kitchen arrangements were poor. Most people who stay in hostels want to cook but this wasn’t allowed beyond warming things in a microwave. Hob not working.

    Staff super helpful, great location. Nice room

    The beds were a little fragile and getting to the top of the bunk was a little tough. Otherwise everything was perfect.

    The location is awesome, finding it was a bit tough though. The place has a nice setup to work also. If you're on a workation its really helpful. The staff were very friendly and helpful

    - There was no window in the room - The description of the room said that a private kitchen is available. Only shared kitchen was available. - Dowtown is relatively far (however can be reached by taxi) - The water in the shower was not hot, only warm

    - The room (Double Room) was simple, but clean and adequately equipped - The shared kitchen was clean and properly equipped - A plaza is near the hostel where there is a supermarket (Dosty Plaza)

    The man at the reception was a bit rude. After already having stayed for 4 nights, we extended our stay with an extra night and received a message that we needed to come by the reception to pay it. Of course we would do that. When we came to the reception, the man had an attitude and even informed us about the exact number of hours until we needed to check out. We felt treated like teenagers (we are in our late 30’s).

    Our private room was very quiet and the bed was super comfortable. The hostel was clean, secure and well-functioning.

    Not spacious, its very close between one bed to another bed, its good for the curtain for privacy but to separate the side by side bed only by curtains, thats not sufficient…

    Location in the heart of the city, very near Dostyk Plaza. The kitchen clean and we can cook there

    I have asked for a glass of warm water. The boy at the counter did not take the request with pleasure. Maybe he did not understand.

    It's near all tourist Attractions. Qaganat Canteen is nearby. Where you can find affordable meals. A bus stop is nearby. A Mall is across the road.

    Nice hostel and room. It was really clean and had everything you need, like towels, shampoo, soap, slippers, etc. It was quiet enough and had a comfortable temperature. The staff was friendly and helpful.

    I could not sleep because of constant noise. I believe it was a hood. This can be improved.
