Warm service, Facilities: OK Hygiene: tidy

Not so far from the airport. You can order a transfer, the driver arrives on a minibus. The hotel itself is more or less. On arrival – a bottle of water in the room. In the room is quite comfortable, beautiful. Snow bedding, coat. Tapets. Shosh with all the equipment, vent. There is a safe. Payable or not, I will not tell, didn't use. TV. Can't turn on. Whether the batteries were sat, whether the remote was broken. Time and need to understand was not. Wi-Fi and the Internet are quite stable. The huge minus was the lack of an accessible roast in the table area. The laptop or something else to connect. Only on the chest in the top of the bed. What is not very convenient. The mini-freezer-bar is full of the lock. Breakfast is organized on the ”-1” floor. It represents the choice of 5 complexes, little different between – eggs-glaze-omlet-becon-colbase- vegetables-casha-breads, in different variations. Tea, coffee, several biscuits in the vase. Very suffocated. Here you can either have lunch or dinner on the menu. When you leave early, you can tell the time and come for breakfast or order a room. A busy intersection nearby, not so far shopping centers, exchanges, market. In the corridor on the floor there is a smooth board, a tie. Stop for the night by car, and for a longer time, may still, look for something more interesting.

I had an 11 hour layover between my flight from Dubai to my flight to Atyrau and was really searching for a hotel near the airport that was convenient and reasonably priced. Grand Hotel Erbil is both of those. I made the booking online with the option to pay on arrival. The booking made provision for a free shuttle pickup from the airport and a very reasonable transfer back the following morning. The hotel confirmed everything by Whatsapp. Contactless payment. Clean room. Clean linen. Friendly and efficient service. I ordered a simple burger and chips via WhatsApp and the food arrived hot and fresh. Minibar is fully stocked and reasonably priced. Their menu is extensive (55 page book) and they cater for everything from a bowl of hummus to platters of meats, cakes, cocktails, etc. For a traveller, this hotel is well worth it. Thanks, Grand Hotel Erbil!

We recently had a stay at this Swissotel. Given the reputation of the brand, our expectations were naturally set high. However, the reality of our experience fell significantly short of those anticipations. 1. Check-in Procedure: Even with online check-in we were subjected to a 30-minute wait. One of our pre-booked rooms was not ready at the time of arrival. 2. Room's Condition: - A glaring lapse in cleanliness was evident with the state of the bathroom floor near its entrance (photo attached). - The bathroom door's sliding mechanism was faulty and highly inconvenient. - The overall condition of the bathroom indicated it's due for an overhaul and repairs (photos attached). - The discovery of a used ear swab under the table raised significant concerns about the room's preparation and cleanliness (photo attached). - A faulty power outlet in the bathroom added to the growing list of maintenance concerns (photo attached). - The discovery of a dead insect in the drapes clearly points to a continuous lack of attention to detail with the cleaning staff (photo attached). 3. Birthday Cake: Our agreement for a pre-arranged complimentary birthday cake was not only overlooked but was also delivered a day later than promised, despite having multiple conversations and providing evidence of our prior agreement (via the official hotel WhatsApp). 4. Water Bottle Replenishment: The consistent oversight in providing an essential like water, despite multiple request channels, was surprising. The water had to be fetched from the cleaning staff, we had to chase them and ask. None of the other channels, like the official app or the reception, fulfilled our request for the water delivery. 5. Dining: Our anticipation of an à la carte menu was countered by a buffet offering. Being told this was due to hotel occupancy levels feeling unsatisfactory. This went on for both evenings spent at the hotel. Portions of the a la carte menu were available only for room service. 6. Buffet Food Quality: The limited options, particularly for main courses (3), left much to be desired. Our experience with the freshly prepared pasta was particularly disappointing. It was watery, bland, disgusting. You could get better pasta at an office canteen. We have travelled quite a big part of the world and this buffet was easily the worst we have ever had. Both taste and variety were not worth the price. And we were forced into it by being denied the a la carte option. The hotel is above capacity - great, but we paid for the same service as if it weren't, right? Not OUR problem. 7. Breakfast Experience: The overall offering was lackluster. The variety was uninspiring, especially when compared to even basic 3-star hotels. Stale pastry (croissant from the day before) at a 5* hotel is inexcusable - these are absolute basics. Staff appeared overwhelmed, often forgetting to replenish food and drinks (had to be reminded many times) and struggling to manage guest numbers. Only 2 juice options fo

I stayed at Hostel Doma three days … nov 2023 .. it was a very pleasant stay.. the hostel is very clean and cozy .. nice location , easy access. The receptionist Jameela was very nice and helpful.. will visit again 😊

The breakfast was good, but not fantastic. The room was good and clean, there were some supplies in the toilette. Parks and places around the hotel are nice, and you can have a good walk around, if you wish. There were always noise (I'd assume cleaners did some work) quite early in the morning. Another issue is that the breakfast time in the morning is until 10am sharp, which is not convenient for people travelling from Europe for leisure. As I understood, there're no alternatives available. We asked a bottle of water and an additional blanked to the room, and it was challenging to get them. Particularly, with the bottle of water, as they refused to put the cost of it on the hotel room, but requested a cash payment. It was a surprise for us.

The Rixos hotel located in the center of Almaty has the best lobby. The moment you enter the lobby it gives you a feel of grandeur. With its comfortable sofa seating for more than 100 people it is by far the best I have seen in the whole of Almaty. You can relax, have meals and literally just spend the whole day there. The standard rooms are comfortable with a choice of pillows and a good mattress. However, the room service and house keeping are quite slow. The housekeeping has to be told time and again for towels, water, etc in the room. The Buffet breakfast was quite disappointing as there were no vegetarian items on the menu. The eggs, omelettes, pancakes were really bad and had no taste. For a full hotel there was a small toaster for more than 200 guests which took forever to toast a slice of bread. It's a shame that such a good hotel has a really sad service which definitely should be spruced up to keep up to the five star tag !!!!

It is an old property with Soviet Union Style. Room layout is a bit weird to me, we booked a queen-sized bed room for 2 adults and they gave us something like a room with connect room of 1 single bed. Bathroom is small and old, dont expect much. The only good things is the breakfast spread with wide variety of dishes both local and international. Great selection for cheese & cold cut. Staff are friendly & helpful but I have an impression that they are understaff as both check-in & check-out need to wait for quite a while. Staff can speak English but not fluent.

Stayed there for a night during my KZ trip, the hotel is located at a very comfortable location , the hotel rooms looks like more of heritage room with a few old decor plates and felt really warm, they provided with all the necessity services, and a secured cloak room was also there, I kept my luggage after checkout for almost a day and they were really helpful to store them at their place without any hassle and provided back the same in couple of minutes, They staff here speaks fluent English as well and take extra efforts to help their guest. Would definitely recommend to stay and get to know the services of the same.
