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.

    When I saw people writing that this was the best hostel they’ve stayed in, it pined my curiosity! Was truly lovely! Beautifully decorated, spacious and cozy. I stayed in a female dorm and my bed was up on a loft. There is AC and the bathrooms are shared between make and female dorms. Large living room space, and a garden area. Breakfast available for 1800 tenge.

    This hostel deserves more rating, yes maybe there is not atmosphere but that is because Shymkent is not touristic or attracting backpackers as Almaty. However the location and the facilities are amazing, and the staff helpful and nice. The hostel is huge with plenty space to seat or chill.

    This hostel is the best I have ever seen and I have done a lot of them. Everything was perfect almost the standard of a hotel (bathroom, towels, etc) Sparkling clean, huge common space to hangout, speaking English staff really helpful about how to commute , what to see and do in the city. There is no kitchen but the food is so cheap around who would cook ? There are huge table to eat.
