Reviews and Ratings
I couldn't have asked for a better stay! The hotel offers stunning views from the room's large balcony and the grey bed linen adds a touch of elegance. The service was top-notch, and the location was perfect for those wanting easy access to the Shymbulak cable car. However, the dining options were somewhat limited, and the price could be a bit steep for some travelers.
