Shymkent Homestays

I stayed at this hotel for a month, so had plenty of time to work out the facilities. Beautiful, luxurious hotel, within easy walking distance of the centre, close to some good restaurants, shops, pharmacies and entertainment. Rooms are very well furnished with a balcony, not very wide but adequate with both doors open. Fully air conditioned room, huge smart flatscreen TV, coffee machine, plenty of powerpoints, fully stocked mini bar, as well as crisps, nuts and even a packet of Durex. The swimming pool and Spa facilities were excellent, towels, robes and slippers, all supplied, Sauna, Steam room and ice room, along with a cold plunge pool. Fully equipped Gym, and massage treatment. Room service 24/7, used on a couple of occasions, excellent pizza. 2 restaurant's, a bar plus the atrium area where anything can be ordered.

In Promenade, several times 4-5 days (command). For Schymkent, a good price-quality option. Of the pluses: convenient location in the heart of the city, more or less pleasant and clean rooms, the room has almost everything for the convenience of the guest, breakfast for choice (but I don't go on them because I don't like breakfast). Of the weight downsides: Wild hearing in rooms, just a little bit! If someone drops a scratch on the other end of the corridor, you will hear it very clearly. And imagine what a hearing if people speak loudly. So, for example, stopping this time after a long, difficult flight on the 2nd floor, the opposite of my room (it turns out) was a staff room. How did I know that? At 9 a.m. I woke up from Takogl Gogota as if I had a company sitting in my room and celebrating the anniversary. It turns out they were drinking tea and chatting there. About the sound of constant skating of wagons and the ringing of dishes at all I'm silent. It's really a nightmare. The hotel does not look very carefully at the staff's behavior, so they behave like a resort here. It has been seen since the first trip.

A bit late doing this one. An interesting hotel indeed mainly because of the different room combinations. But first the reception / lobby area. The lobby /entrance area is nothing short of impressive and large. the reception counter is very long and many columns! The bar area is here as well. As we arrived early our rooms were not ready so time to kill. lunch was therefore taken in a restaurant next to the hotel. So to the rooms. I had room 406 or 4006. Anyway upon entry to the room I was greeted with an unusual layout. Not what I expected. 2 long thin rooms side by side each about 25 feet long and 12 feet wide!. You come into a small hallway which leads to the left for the bathroom, A very big bathroom comprising a shower which is the width of the room, toilet and washbasin. the shower was very good.The hallway has a smallish coat rack and cupboard. So to the bedroom. This felt funny being so long and narrow.At the far end was the bed which was quite firm and ok. I slept well despite the heat. There is a smallish table and chair on which was a kettle and stuff. There is a TV on the far end wall and not much else. Nowhere to put your luggage except on the floor. Also there is a balcony which for me was good as one is allowed to smoke here. I did and of course made sure that the door to the room was closed. i found myself using the windowsill to put my things on.The room was clean. But a shortage of power points did not help. I found just 2. So a funny experience. The breakfast room is on the 2nd floor. There was a good selection to suit most tastes. I heard from other members of our group who said they had small showers and some other different room layouts. The stay here was acceptable. The staff were good. There is free wi-fi which was quite fast.

”Опыт проживания в гостинице Рамада оставил желать лучшего. Обнаружил проблемы с обслуживанием - персонал был малоинформативен и не проявил интерес к удовлетворению наших потребностей. Кроме того, мы проживали со своей семьей, с нами были маленькие дети, утром моему ребенку стало плохо, тем самым то что она ела на завтрак вышло наружу, попросили поменять простынь, простынь поменяли через 1,5 часа, и заставили платить за химчистку 23к, после говорили выкупить постельное белье за 100к, это полное отсутствие этики и культуры, в конце договорились «по-чимкентски» за 10 тыс. тенге. Если хотите испортить себе проживание и промывание в городе Шымкент, езжайте в Рамада Винхон.

Once again I was in Shymkent and I booked at the usual hotel. I tried several in this city but this is the one that makes me feel more comfortable. Hotel is nice, close to city center (walking distance) and at the same time aside enough to be silent during the night. Beds are quite comfortable: this time I found a spring matrass which seemed to be new, and it was nice to sleep there. Breakfast is various, not a huge choice, but everything is tasty (for Europeans, a little bit different from usual taste) and rather various from day to day. Big plus is the underground swimming pool and sauna, as well as the gym, and personally I love their bath tubs... Definitely, I will stop there again and again

Clean hotel with large rooms, friendly staff, and free breakfast. I had heard that ”the only place to stay is the Rixos” but I was pleased to find this lower-cost option (especially after stopping for a drink at the other hotel and being charged $6 for a sparkling water). The location is great, within walking distance or a short taxi ride to most everything in the city.

Had a good stay. Hotel is well-located in the center, not far from Park Abay and the Arbat. The staff was excellent. They helped me find a power cord for my laptop and allowed me to check out a day early when I needed to. Some will have issues with the thin walls. I had a youngster in the next room screaming. And maybe with the road noise. However, I travel with a white noise machine that makes rain sounds and so was able to basically drown both noises out. My main and really only issue was the lack of air in the room. There is a window that you can open, but if it is closed, the air is hot and dry. The air conditioner/heating system seems to only make it more hot and more dry. The breakfast was pretty good. I ate both nights in the hotel restaurant. The food was good, but they were sometimes out of some things, and it is a bit expensive. Wifi worked very well. Overall, a good stay.

The decoration style of the hotel is very good, and the care is shown everywhere. A hotel that looks small on the outside, in fact, it has very complete facilities. There is a restaurant on the first floor, and the front desk and guest rooms on the second floor. The restaurant on the first floor offers delicious meals and local beer🍺. The breakfast has rice, kimchi, omelette, yogurt, etc. It is very hearty. The decoration of the room is also very warm, the bed is comfortable to sleep. TV, air conditioning, and kettle are all available. For dinner, there are buns, Russian red soup, etc., which are more suitable for Chinese tastes. During the few days of staying, you basically enjoy one-to-one service, and the time set for breakfast and dinner will not delay your meal. The owner is Korean and very nice. Nikita, Camila, Merey, Allessya at the front desk are all good. Help call a car, help check information on the computer. There are relatively few Chinese in Shymkent, and the locals are mostly Russian or Kazakh.

Excellent location, convenient transportation, clean rooms
