It was in the middle of December 2024 . The station is clean and tidy. but! The money exchange point has disappeared. Where can visitors get tengue? The stall that sells SIM cards did not work, either in the evening or in the morning, at 10.30. The cafe is clean and the pastries are delicious. But there was a drunk bum changing clothes at the next table. But that's not all. Rooms in the hotel on the third floor are, of course, not expensive. But it's a shame to even offer such a “service“ for free! The linen is the color of a doormat and even darned... This is the extent to which the innkeeper does not respect himself or the guests. And what a greedy bastard he is! The air temperature is like in a barracks, the closet is probably a hundred years old, there are no hangers. Rough. The railway station hotel is the face of the country... Shame on you!
The train station used to be the best, there was everything for the convenience of people, even ATMs, the Caspian Sea and all people were walking in, there was good passability, but now it has become like a bomb the shelter is closed from all sides, not to enter, not to exit, only for visitors from the side of people, there is nothing inside, there is not even a need to go in unless you go somewhere by train.Everything was done very, very badly for the station
I was born in Kokshetau, I've been living in Astana for 25 years now, and I've been visiting the train station not long ago, and what do I see? During the period that I have been living for 25 years and even more when I lived in Kokshetau, the station has not changed at all. It feels like our train station has been left in the time of 1995-2000. Why can't you officials put the train station in order, where the repairs are, where the modern look is. Honestly, it's a complete disappointment. I feel so sorry for my city that it is in such decline, the local government just like the time to fill their pockets and go to Astana.
