Golden Ray Hotel Turkistan in Turkistan

The best thing about this hotel is the size of the room. The building and rooms are brand new, and it feels like nobody has stayed there before. You literally get a one bedroom flat. There is a spacious sitting area with a small fridge and sofa. The bedroom is small but serves the purpose as the sitting area has plenty of room for your personal stuff. The bathroom is also huge with a very big bathtub.

Having said the above, certain things need to be improved. The pillows were not specifically sleeping pillows and the head feels not very comfortable. In the bathtub, the shower has not been installed at an appropriate place for tall people. The towels were also not that soft. The breakfast is very basic and more options are necessary. You also have to consider that nobody in the hotel speaks English, so you have to have proper online resources to translate what you want to ask when you are there. The location is amclise to the attractions of the city but there is very little in the close vicinity of whole like restaurants.

Overall, I had a comfortable stay for two nights.

Normal

The hotel is located in a quiet residential area, yet close to the main attractions.
The breakfast was decent; in addition to the standard cheese, sausage, and eggs, there was oatmeal.
The rooms are spacious. Refrigerators are missing.

Very nice hotel, friendly staff, the rooms are very large and clean. The air conditioning works, the huge TV too. The only problem is that we asked to extend our stay for two more nights, the evening hostess said yes, but the next day the day hostess told us that it was ultimately not possible! But they were very friendly, letting us store our bags while we found another hotel and even recommending some places.

Good level of service but they need to improve their room and buffet services.
