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.

    When I saw people writing that this was the best hostel they’ve stayed in, it pined my curiosity! Was truly lovely! Beautifully decorated, spacious and cozy. I stayed in a female dorm and my bed was up on a loft. There is AC and the bathrooms are shared between make and female dorms. Large living room space, and a garden area. Breakfast available for 1800 tenge.

    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.
