The great location in the mountains, the prices compared to other hotels in Almaty are acceptable, there are stops of the regular 12 bus to the city, but there are no shops nearby, the restaurant in the hotel leaves much to be desired - overprice, tasteless.
The hotel of the type "for tourism to the mountains" is located right on the road to medeo, next to the mountain river right across the road. Taxis from the city go there all ok. There is an elevator. Don't expect rooms wow, but it's clean. The hotel has a kitchen. Medeo is a little more than 1 km away from it, we walked for 30 minutes - a thrill. I lived for 2 days.
A normal hotel for one night, just to spend the night, THE ROOMS are DEAD , but the bed is clean and the rooms are clean , the dining room is not so hot prices bend , and so for such a price you will not find anything in this area , a good budget option
