The stuff was kind and friendly, they even helped with getting a taxi from time to time. The location of the hostel is just perfect, right next to a mall, Koktobe and other great points in the city. As for the accommodation, the room was clean, beds were comfortable and we had 2 private bathrooms both with shower for the girls only room. I stayed there for 8 days and it was one of the most pleasant hostel experiences I had so far.

Koksay hotel is like our own house with a yard. The owner Asia is a very kind lady who cares about our lives and helps us in time. She lets us use the kitchen and washing machine and tells us where to go shopping and eat. The room is very clean and tidy, looks very new, and the heating is very comfortable. Snow-capped mountains can be seen from the window. The villagers are also friendly. But the biggest surprise is that the landlord is very nice. It costs about 4,500 tenge to take a taxi to Panfilov, and the price varies at different times. There is an aport mall 3.6 kilometers away, which is enough for shopping.

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The bed🛏️ (cell) was big and comfortable. The place is new, very clean and bright. I did not use all the appliances, but I can see they were functional. The location is a few steps from the main road (bus stop)and a big attraction (reservoir/ lake). All the shops and restaurants are within walking distance.

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.

Very easy going and budget-friendly. We came back to the same hostel after a 2-day trip to Charyn canyon and Kolsay lakes. Some other travellers we met in the trip stayed also at the same hostel. So all in all it was nice for the atmosphere and the people for good talking and sharing experiences and traveling tips.
