Koksay hotel is like our own house with a yard. The owner Asia is a very kind lady who cares about our lives and helps us in time. She lets us use the kitchen and washing machine and tells us where to go shopping and eat. The room is very clean and tidy, looks very new, and the heating is very comfortable. Snow-capped mountains can be seen from the window. The villagers are also friendly. But the biggest surprise is that the landlord is very nice. It costs about 4,500 tenge to take a taxi to Panfilov, and the price varies at different times. There is an aport mall 3.6 kilometers away, which is enough for shopping.

I’m sorry I don’t remember the name of the reception worker - he was quite young and worked on the night of the 17th and the night of the 21st. He was amazing at talking to the guests, including everyone and thanks to him I learned how to play mafia (in Russian and English). The rooms are very comfortable, clean and the place has all of the needed facilities. Really enjoyed my stay. The location might look a bit far but it’s right next to the bus stop and the bus takes you to the centre within 20-40mins (depending on the traffic and where you need to go).

Bathroom and toilets were always maintained well throughout the day, functional kitchen and comfortable dining and living area. Dorm beds were clean and neat as well! I stayed at the same place again when I came back to the city. Shoutouts to Rose who started working there and keeping the space super tidy. Reception staff was kind enough to let me check out a bit late! Few steps away from the busstops, well connected to the rest of the city.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Very easy going and budget-friendly. We came back to the same hostel after a 2-day trip to Charyn canyon and Kolsay lakes. Some other travellers we met in the trip stayed also at the same hostel. So all in all it was nice for the atmosphere and the people for good talking and sharing experiences and traveling tips.
