Hotels near Sagymbek, Shymkent

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

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.

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.

It is possible to rent all towels, shower caps, bathrobes and sandals (in lockers) for the pool, spa, Turkish bath and sauna in the basement. Floor heating is provided in autumn and winter. Since almost only men are in the mixed bath (it is said that they also stop by membership), it is recommended that women jump in at 8 o'clock in the morning. If you apply cream on your face and hair, cover your entire body with a towel, and then lie down in the Turkish bath, it will take about 3 hours and only a few seconds to get a moist shine.

This is my second stay at the hotel. The front desk speaks very good English and a little bit of Chinese, and even remembers me. Due to the lost iPad on the plane, the front desk was very understanding of my nervousness and was always helping me to try to solve the problem.
