Top marks for this hostel, located in the best part of the city centre, only two minutes walk from the Arbat and with lots of buses running in every direction. The hostel is enormous, so it doesn't give you the cozy vibe you would get from a smaller place. On the other hand there are so many dorms and rooms that you might get one for yourself. Every dorm has its own private bathroom, a good system of lockers and they are thoroughly cleaned every day. There is a common area with a fridge, a microwave oven and complimentary tea and coffee. Reception staff are also very professional and helpful. They all speak some English.

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 was the best hostel I have ever stayed in. everything was so functional and comfortable and extremely clean. but the absolute highlight is the staff! Despite the language barrier, they were all so wonderfully friendly, helpful and accommodating and made the stay special!

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.
