Flexible and understanding staff. We were just transiting from Uzbekistan to Kazakhstan and our halt in Shymkent was just for a few hours, even after confusion in booking, the reception staff gave us an option to stay with our luggage and provided space for resting. The bedspace is clean and neat. A common kitchen and living area. Also, the place is close to the main street and cafes.

    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.
