In summary: we did enjoy our stay and would stay here again.
Pros:
- we were on the 24th floor and the views were amazing!
-Dostyk Ave has so many shops and delicious restaurants in short walking distance. We could also walk to Ascension Cathedral, Kok Tobe, and most attractions.
-many bars in the hotel, so many people met us for drinks and we didn't have to go far.
-shower head was nice and water was warm.
-it is cool to stay in such an iconic building.
Cons:
-The bed was quite hard for our taste.
-room was small.
-not enough dressers, wardrobes, storage space for our clothes.
-shower was very tight.
-breakfast was good and there was a variety of selection. However, it was very busy and crowded.
-it costs the taxes money to enter the hotels driveway, so no taxi wanted to drop off or pick up right at the hotel. It was easy to walk to a corner once we knew, but shocking at first.
