Sport

Monumental like all three hotels we experienced in Turkmenistan, this hotel maximizes these features; moreover in line with the grandiloquent character of the urban neighborhood in which it stands. Notwithstanding that the quality of the buffet breakfast could be better in relation to the level which the hotel aspires to (and this happens in all the hotels we have experienced), the breakfast is still better here than elsewhere. Furthermore, the wifi works acceptably. The rooms are elegant and functional, as are the bathrooms. In the lobby there is always at least one person who speaks reasonable English; this too is not obvious everywhere. It's also possible to access, on the ninth floor, a terrace which offers an exciting view of the city, especially at sunset, when streets and buildings light up in various, changing colors. There is also a good restaurant on the roof, named Beijing (which I reviewed separately). In short, this was certainly the best of the three hotels we encountered in Turkmenistan.

The hotel has a good location next to the mall, and is fairly clean with big rooms. Bed is ok but pillows a bit of a nightmare. The breakfast is very , very poor and communication with the waiters is a nightmare. The coffee in the lobby wasn't too bad and offered nice looking cakes, which were not consumed, and were still offered for sale the whole week i was there. There is wifi but speed only 1Mbps, which even if you had better speeds, since all sites and social media are blocked from the rest of the world, it pointless.

My stay at the Sport hotel exceeded my expectations. Although maybe not up to West European standards, the service was really good. Requests to housekeeping were dealt with immediately. Wifi worked as it should, despite many websites blocked by the authorities. No social media. Communication in English with staff at reception was no problem. Breakfast was basic but OK.

We did not pick the hotel but wow, it is definitely eye candy. The room was huge and classy. Full washroom, though at times a funny smell through the pipes. Lobby was beautiful. Staff do not speak English, thank God for translate apps.

We stayed here for 3 days and used it as a base to visit Mary/Ashgabat. The building itself is gorgeous. One of the marble buildings and it is part of the Olympic campus. The room is big. The shower water is strong. The breakfast is also good. Service certainly has a room to improve. We requested to clean up our room and it wasn’t done. It turns out we didn’t have enough toilet paper since they didn’t clean up the room and refresh amenities. Location is good. There’s a shopping mall in front.

We stayed at this Sport hotel at Ashgabat city , the hotel is nice with Victorian style furniture which looks classic and grand . Breakfast selection was plenty to choose from . Overall a lovely stay at Sport hotel , location is good , walkable go shopping mall nearby
