The kitchen is very good. Polite staff
But there probably hasn't been a repair in economy class for a long time. I would like to have better comfort for such money.
The old city center.Everything is within walking distance.Spring, summer is the best.The rooms have been slightly redesigned.In general, price is quality.A variety of breakfasts.There is a coffee shop at the hotel.
I do not know what the level of service in the hotel is, I go to the cosmetologist on the third floor. But I like this building for the preserved atmosphere of old Alma-Ata))) I like to just sit in the hall, looking out the window.
The rating is higher than the star rating of the hotel, it's good that it wasn't demolished, renovated, everything is cool! There is almost nowhere to sit in the lobby and the aquarium museum at the entrance is not clear. The old photos that always hung in the lobby have now been moved to the aquarium at the entrance and called it a museum!!!! Is there some kind of populism, or am I confusing something?
Modern renovation, clean, quiet, varied breakfast. The view from the windows towards the mountains is very good. Well, the location is in the center, two steps from the metro. Next to the pedestrian street Panfilov, which is also convenient.
The main and undeniable advantage of this hotel is its location, right in the cultural center of the city. As for the rooms, everything is clean and tidy according to the level.
In Soviet times, the hotel was the flagship. Now he's a good middle-class guy. A good breakfast, renovation with a small redevelopment, wi-fi.. The crane was repaired in 2 hours, the network access was disabled in three hours.. Normal. Great location. Everything is nearby: cafe, shopping street, metro.
I lived in economy class for a week, and the repair is accordingly old, the room is not cleaned very constantly reminded of a toothbrush, I think there is no such luxury class. A huge plus is the location and the breakfasts are delicious.
Really three stars and no more. Only the maids alone are worth it, I mean at night .., rudeness and discontent are the first I meet! The mall of the fact that the room was not ready to move in, and even we were told what we needed in the room and what not!
There are several excellent cafes on the ground floor. I didn't live in the hotel itself, but I was at a conference. Excellent service, clean, comfortable. There are photos of the history of our cinema in the lobby of the hotel. The hotel has been perfectly restored and the hotel decorates the appearance of the city. The hotel itself has the spirit of Alma-Ata 60-70 and modern shades.
It was renovated in winter. The rooms are comfortable, clean, but it was very cold. The staff is stone-faced. The breakfasts are a little meager, the choice is not great. For this price, you can find a better hotel. The price is justified only by the location.
