1. This hostel is managed by 3 lovely ladies that do a 24hour shift in a circular base (and also do the cleaning during their shift). They keep the place EXCEPTIONALLY clean+tidy. 2 Besides the language barrier of a non-Russian speaking visitor, I manage to get from the ladies all the info I needed (thanks to their good will and GoogleTranslation). 3. They allow me (with no extra charge) to left my big luggage there in order to travel lighter (going to Tongeris village in the south) for 5 nights. 4. Big and equipped kitchen for self-cooking with 2 refrigerators for the guests. 5. Big dorm with a lot of air and light. Curtains for light-blocking and privacy. Probably one of the best mattresses I have ever sleep on in my whole life. 6. Big enough locker for your valuables.

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.

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.
