Hotel Kazakhstan
Nice size room, great location! Only downside was the WiFi was temperamental. I also wouldn’t recommend using their exchange service: rates are worse than the airport and the guy working there is rude.

The Dostyk Hotel
Breakfast was decent with a good variety. Spa was fairly good although pool closed. Was not advised of any VIP benefits which is disappointing. Staff were excellent at reception, friendly and offered early check-in and late check out. Well located near metro, bus stop and wothin walking distance ...
