Golden Palace Hotel

Fortunately, the food is good.

The location of the hotel is good, the environment is okay compared to the same price range, and the breakfast is European buffet. The service staff didn't understand Chinese the day before yesterday, but they could communicate in English. The hotel has a Western bar where you can have a drink in the evening.

The hotel looks a bit old, and the linen in the room has been used for a long time, but it is clean. Several service staff can speak English, and there is no problem with basic communication. The breakfast is good, rich in variety and the waiter updates it quickly. They are all Russian-style breakfasts with bread and eggs. If you want to eat Chinese food, forget it. There are many good restaurants around the hotel, and the Turkish Kebab and Georgian restaurants are very cost-effective. It is an ordinary three-star hotel in China, but a good value for money hotel in Almaty.

There is nothing left of the words Golden Palace here. It is located in some kind of homeless shelter, around there are only old houses and stalls. Everything is very sad inside, the drain in the room periodically does not work, the bath is dirty, which is clogged and the water does not drain. But the worst thing is the breakfasts. In addition to the fact that they are extremely mediocre, there is little food and it is not very tasty. Some men in jackets come for breakfast and with their dirty hands and sleeves climb into the food, which you then eat. The woman who is apparently responsible for the food, not only completely ignored 2 questions about what is happening, but also complained that we ruined her mood? How should this be understood? The staff was the most disappointing. We do not recommend coming here, because for that kind of money you can live in a really decent hotel
