The hostel has great potential! It’s well situated if you want to go hiking or skiing. It’s clean and everything is nice and new. But the staff are a big let down - there’s not much of a friendly, hospitable atmosphere. And most importantly our room had been double booked so we weren’t able to stay in the twin we booked - things like this happen, but the situation could have been handled better (an instant email informing us about it or reassurance and a list of suggestions in lieu of our room at reception - instead I had to draw these out like blood from a stone). My locker key opened someone else’s things which was greeted with a shrug. The blasé attitude really got to us.

Awesome place. Incredibly clean and very very helpful English speaking staff. It's also very good located, close to Medeu and Kok Tobe, 2 of the must see places around the city.

The hostel itself in in cood condition, new bed, nice and clean bathrooms. But only one toilet per floor, what can be a bit annoying. The location if the hostel is at the edge of the city and you will need a taxi to go to the city itself (almost 1 hour walking). The only thing to query is that the manager is lazy and sometimes quite annoying (most likely not in bad intensions, but still annoying).

Great place, very clean, away from bustling city and on the way to the mountains. Great view to the mountains from the 3rd floor. BUT, be aware of your belongings, somebody has stolen all my money from the wallet about 13 thousand tenge and no help from owners, very unfriendly. Refused to watch footage as anybody can enter the room though it happened in a very short period of time, only two people stayed in room that night including myself with a hostel almost empty. First reaction from owner was it was my fault to leave my bag in the room, though it was at night and you don't take you backpack to the 2nd level of bunk bed, right. Sounds ridiculous. So carry you important stuff with you because if something goes wrong no help or support is expected, well, probably it's only for locals...
Good luck to you!

Very friendly hosts, comfortable beds and a lovely breakfast is all included in the lowest orice you can find in the city.
Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!
