I stayed there for 2 nights (actually one and a half night) in June and thought I’d posted a report but it looks like I haven’t.

Cash price was quite high for Kazakhstan at nearly GBP200 per night for an entry level room but only 30k points per night. So I booked a room with points. (It looks like they are charging 35k points per night now.)

No upgrade and breakfast was not as good as at other similarly graded hotels in the region. There is supposed to be an indoor swimming pool and a spa but nothing was mentioned when I checked in. The hotel is close to the city’s main sports complex and not far from the Republic Square and Independence Monument but not an ideal location for tourists.

I stayed there because I needed somewhere to recover from a tour of 3 ‘stans’ before my 3.15am flight back to Europe and also wanted to add another Hilton property to my list. The hotel was just ok but it’s not somewhere I’d like to return unlike HGI Astana and Hilton Tashkent City I also stayed during the trip.
