SULO Hotel in Atyrau

Convenient for airport. Rooms are clean with a moden look. So at first sight they look good. But once settled in, one starts noticing various issues, most of which are caused by the use of low quality fittings, shoddy workmanship, and poor design. Ground floor rooms are more convenient if you've got heavy luggage as there's no lift. One example of poor design is that all lights are controlled by switches near the door. There are no secondary switches next to the bed or at the entrance to the bathroom. Examples of poo fittings is the hooks used to hang towels. This often swivels and can only be used if one carefully balances how towels are hung. In the latest room I stayed in the toilet itself had not been fastened properly to the floor. Which meant it was unstable and could be moved around. I sincerely hope that the wet spots on the floor was from somewhere else and not leaks from the toilet drain! Not nice!

Walking distance to the airport, Chips bar and grill is right beside SULO. Room is small compared to other hotels, but bed is nice. Front desk was easy and professional. But there is a bad odor coming from the bathroom. Probably just the room I am in. Not staying long so not going to make a fuss. If I was coming into Atyrau I would stay elsewhere, going to the airport it is definitely worth it.
