A7 Hostel

The place was very well kept, all you can ask from a hostel and a bit more! However the hosts, and other local customers were absolutely amazing. Was an unforgettable stay playing UNO together and just talking many hours, I felt like I was at home❤️ Definitely recommend this place, and Kazakhstan overall for anyone! And I myself will definitely try to visit again too :)

A lovely, quiet, and very clean hostel in a perfect location. It’s less than a 10-minute walk to the main pick-up points for tours and to the bus station for the nearby national parks, making it incredibly convenient. The lady at reception is exceptionally kind and welcoming—I honestly felt like she would become my mum if I stayed any longer! She made me feel completely at home. The shower has excellent water pressure and the temperature is just perfect.

Nothing really bad—just a personal preference. The hostel can feel a little dark during the daytime, but since most guests are out exploring anyway, it wasn’t an issue for me.
