Positive: The hostel is located in an area with developed infrastructure, cozy, friendly staff, private rooms, original zoning of common areas, clean bathroom. Cons: the rooms are mostly without windows (with a window more expensive by 1000 tenge) and the walls are stained with white (whitewash with lime, not water-based?).
Clean, quiet, no alcohol or smoking, which is very good, friendly and attentive staff, we were called a taxi several times at the reception. It's been 4 days, I'm ready to come back again. Convenient location, close to the US Embassy, near a mosque, museum, theater. There's a food store across the street. I'm happy with everything
I liked. Excellent staff. The kitchen is super. There are many bathrooms and showers. Clear. The beds are excellent, the linen is snow-white, crisp. Disadvantage: there is no window, it is stuffy to sleep, you have to open the door.
