Every year I come to this hotel from Russia for 3-4 weeks. Breathe in the mountain air, look at the mountains and nature. Getting to the city by bus 12 is fast and inexpensive. Well, or by taxi Yandex (2200-4000 maximum tenge from the city to the hotel). I am satisfied with the price of the hotel, cleanliness, the staff is very attentive from the manager Olzhas to the cleaning staff. I buy food in the city and store it in the refrigerator. I like being away from the hustle and bustle of the city. With eco-friendly air. I returned to Russia refreshed and minus ten years in health.
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.
For the location, 5!
For everything else, minus 3.
The room was tired, the locks were broken, the tiles in the bathroom had fallen off, I was afraid that it would fall off on my head. The toilet was wobbling. My friends had a musty smell in their room and it was cold. After Borjomi for 2500 and Zhiguli for 3000 at the reception, I was afraid to go to the restaurant.
But! We'll go there again soon. We'll take food and beer with us.
By bus number 12. To Medeo 5 min, to the city 20 min.
I'm editing it a year later.
I came here again.
Instead of 2 stars (last time) I'm betting 4.
I'll come and ski here again.
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
A majestic establishment in a majestic place. The food is hearty, the place is great. The rooms are decent, without drafts and dampness. Sometimes there may be problems with the water pressure, but not enough to remove one star.
It 's sad - the hotel sucks , it 's a mess .The cleaning is superficially done , there are cockroaches everywhere, a layer of dust under the bed , garbage and dirt . The place of the mattress is a sponge all over the hair, no one has ever cleaned under the sponge. The bed linen and towels are in terrible condition, as well as the dirty refrigerator stinks, the shower barely closes, the toilet is wobbly, the floors are streaked - complete chaos. I don't recommend it
A great place for your money! There is nothing closer to the slope in this budget!
Friendly staff, special thanks to Camilla!
Be prepared for the fact that the rooms are noisy, there is virtually no sound insulation, sometimes it feels like someone is walking right next to you, but again, for this budget, this is the best offer. 04.2024 - the standard number is 14.000 tenge.
An old hotel in the Soviet Empire style. Everything is a bit shabby. But the mattresses are new, the towels are white, the robes are fluffy. Friendly staff. Convenient location: by the road to the ski area.
Nice hotel. Everything is nearby .There are problems with the kitchen, there are often no dishes or there may not be enough ingredients in the breakfast, but the price will be for a full breakfast. A good place if you want to stay to go skiing or snowboarding or go on a short hike. There is a bus stop nearby.
The location is gorgeous
Service: it was as if there was no admin at all, the faces were not happy, sleepy, the waiters were lost.the last day the porridge was burned, but we did not tune in and ate bread and butter😀
The number is exactly our average
There was no air conditioning
The interior of the hall is outdated
It's just that the staff wasn't ready to meet 80 people at once
An interesting experience! In general, a good hotel, considering the location near the hill. Always arrange the rooms in advance, we arrived and our suite was not there, we lived in a bad room for two days, compensated with dinner for every day. It was allowed fairly, but the sediment remained
A hotel in the style of Soviet times. It was probably built for the device then. Advantageous location at the foot of the mountains near Medeo, where the Winter Olympic Games were held (I think in 1976). Breakfast is not included in the accommodation and is always monotonous, with no choice. Those who like to relax in silence will do.
This is a hotel where everything is very bad - from the location of the bidet in the shower to the barely flowing warm water. When we moved in, there was no toilet paper in the room. The view of the room reminds of the times of the "scoop". But it was the only affordable accommodation option, a 4-minute taxi ride from the beginning of the cable car to the ski area in the mountains. The other options were much more expensive. Apparently it was necessary to book the hotel in advance - there was a completely different level of hotel nearby for reasonable money, but there were no places in it…
God, it's a circus.
The plane was delayed for a day, they asked to leave the reservation, just reschedule it a day later, they wrote and called whatsapp (no one answered)
I had to call it looks like an employee's personal number (that's the only way we got through, but we never heard proper communication and greetings), we were just told that the reservation had already been withdrawn since we did not arrive on time, the question why we were not answered before we were supposed to call was answered "Well, it turned out that"
And with these words, tired, we had to look for a new place to stay
Booking day 21.01.2023
Sociable staff, good service, there was no lock in the toilet in the room, not enough storage space, sometimes water interruptions and very poor water pressure in the morning, thin walls, good location for those who often go to the mountains on foot only 30 minutes to Medeu, to the city to go 20 minutes by bus, to the territory has a swimming pool, more chess and gazebos (Kairat is the best)
+ convenient location
+ friendly and helpful staff
+ view from the window
- plumbing and the bath in general leave much to be done
- towels and bed linen are already asking for updates
- poor sound insulation, especially in the bathroom.
A normal hotel for the season or if you plan to walk a lot in nature, but only sleep in the hotel.
Medeu can be reached on foot.
Terrible attitude to the safety of guests. They don't have an air conditioner, a first-aid kit, or a security guard on the premises. If something happens to you here, you will sit for 30-40 minutes and wait for an ambulance. And the staff will not help you in any way. They don't even have an unfortunate bandage.
Friendly staff, convenient location to the Medeu, large rooms.
Of the minuses: breakfasts do not match the price, small shoals for repair (broken glass, skirting boards are broken).
Wonderful location, air, clean room, but....there is no room to walk in the room at all, the bed takes up all the space, so 4 stars.And in general, I really liked everything
The location is sooo good!!! Otherwise, everything is fine. Of course, there is something to work on (I think the administration knows exactly what it is). In general, there is a place to spend the night, eat and relax) thank you!
A warm hotel, nice people. The hotel's services are working, the administration is adequate. Perhaps not everything is new... But with this arrangement, these are mere trifles.
The place is extraordinary and picturesque. The service is at a high level. Sleep in this place is strong and effective. A mountain river flows across the road. All amenities are provided for the guests. Convenient secured parking. A chessboard with large pieces. A place that nourishes with strength, inspires to conquer any peaks. The fabulously beautiful medeo is just around the corner.
Strong 3 stars. Close to the mountain. There is a bus stop nearby. I would like better plumbing and a little tastier food. the price is adequate for the service. Breakfast, of course, is a little weak for such a price
The location is very good! Almost in the mountains not far from Medeo! For tourists, the most important thing is thanks to the hotel administrator. The kitchen is very tasty, we took dumplings and pasta! The room is clean and tidy!
We booked through Booking, confirmation came. We arrived at night, but they are not waiting for us and there are no places... And in general, they don't really watch Booking.. "pay extra and check into the suite," the receptionist told us... There's nowhere to go, we're tired and it's already night.. They settled in. It's also interesting inside, on the way to the room there are streaks on the walls, we thought maybe the roof once flowed.. and how they settled in, it became clear... The shower cabin is huge, a lot of Jacuzzi functions and the like, everything is broken and half of the water that goes down the drain drains onto the floor and it fills the seams of the walls and flows somewhere, I think to the neighbors below.. the washbasin is burst, the robes are there but stained.. in general, being there makes you feel dirty..
From the good news: we were not left without a roof over our heads, thanks to the administrator, reluctantly but made a couple of calls to his supervisors, agreed on an acceptable price for the "EPRST Suite". Beautiful view from the window and fresh air.
One of the reasons why we chose this hotel was a high rating for the food: it was cooked quickly, delivered to the room, but the taste and serving does not even reach the dining level..
Apparently, the place was cool once, but it got stuck in the 90s...
We liked it! The place is very beautiful, and the 12 bus makes it very accessible! The staff quickly resolves all issues that arise. The room was luxurious. The high ceiling made it seem like we were in a palace. It's warm and cozy!
Great hotel
If you are going to ride a Zimbulak, this is the perfect place (bus stop nearby)
There is a bus to the city and a taxi is not expensive
We lived and hardly stood in traffic jams
The staff is helpful the rooms are not new but cozy
Thank you very much to everyone, we will definitely come to you again))))
The hotel is very good for a small price, but there are a couple of buts. There is no hair dryer in the junior suite, the bathroom is cold. At first they said they could leave before one o'clock. But at 12 o'clock they knocked and said that other guests had arrived.
We really liked it!!!Thank you so much for everything!!!The bathhouse is cool !!!they were very hospitably received .... Clean, calm, the laundry washed children's clothes without a single stain!! And the price just surprised me , honestly !!!
A nice hotel, smiling staff and an amazingly beautiful dining room on the ground floor. The kitchen was not found at work, but the view from the window is worth the effort that you will have to make in search of food. Price and quality, I will come again
Dirty, old rooms, linen of dubious cleanliness, very beautiful outside, but inside it does not match the external surroundings at all. Communication with the owner left a heavy impression, it's better not to get involved
A nice hotel surrounded by mountains, it takes about 5 minutes to get to the Medeo complex by car
We rented an improved standard room, the room is clean and tidy, very polite and friendly staff, despite the fact that we did not order breakfast, we were offered free use of the microwave in the dining room, appliances, tea set, take boiling water for tea! The territory of the hotel is very beautiful with a fountain, greenery, gazebos and outdoor chess for leisure, there is also a restaurant
I have been visiting for many years to relax, always very clean, the reception is warm, very cozy, this year, by the way, a very correct tenant who really worries about customers and the development of the hotel, in a word, I will go once again on the trail of summer!!!
Among the advantages: very beautiful places, clean air and relative silence (the road passes nearby, but there is practically no car noise)
Of the cons: just disgusting service! The attitude towards you is not as a guest, but at best as a simple passerby
Bottom line: if you plan to come just to spend the night - yes, you can stay, if you want something more - I do not recommend it
