The
location
is
wonderful
-
it's
just
beside
Victory
Square
and
the
Circus,
and
it's
not
a
far
walk
from
Ala-Too
Square
on
a
mild
day.
Any
destination
not
walkable
from
the
hotel
is
a
very
cheap
YandexGo
trip
away.
I
was
kindly
given
an
early
check-in,
and
reception
also
kindly
held
on
to
my
luggage
at
check-out
so
that
I
could
sightsee
further.
The
"junior
suite"
(at
$50
a
night)
is
an
incredibly
spacious
room
for
one
traveler,
and
the
air
conditioning
and
comfort
of
the
bed
were
wonderful.
The
television
had
a
great
variety
of
international
news
stations
and
Central
Asian
music
channels.
Unfortunately,
the
mini-fridge
did
not
work
at
all
despite
being
"on",
and
there
was
only
one
socket
where
you
could
charge
electronics.
Housekeeping
staff
were
kind
and
diligent,
and
the
hotel's
electrician
kindly
lent
me
an
electrical
converter
for
charging
my
devices.
The
only
true
issue
I
can
think
of
is
that
the
nighttime
staff
is
haunted
by
a
malcontent
male
receptionist
(he
has
a
large
scar
on
the
right
side
of
his
head)
who
wants
nothing
to
do
with
non-Russian
speakers.
Apparently,
I
asked
him
too
many
questions
about
Kyrgyzstan,
so
he
refused
to
answer
me
and
instead
summoned
a
female
staff
member
to
assist
me
every
time
after
that.
A
few
other
staff
members
also
seemed
disinterested
in
and
bothered
by
helping
me.
