The Dostyk Hotel arvostelua

I have booked this hotel after reading reviews, however to my surprise the stay was horrible. From the checkin to checkout our 3N/4D was not upto the mark at all. It was my wife's birthday so I requested for some surprise, we supposed to checkin on same, I called a day before and requested for a surprise cake and flowers in the room. However when we checked it was 4-5 flowers in the vase and 4-5 assorted pastries in the room, with no birthday message, seems some leftover pastries from breakfast buffet. Now lets talk about room, rooms are smaller not comfortable as shown in pictures and not so comfortable, their Air conditioner was not working, we almost spent all 3N in sweat and according to them AC is fine and excuse was given by the hotel that it is too hot outside. :). Water spilling from the AC duct on the room floor everyday, we have to call house keeping to clean that, it was an exercise to call House keeping and explain them, what has happened, since they don't know any other language apart from Russian. Housekeeping/ Room Service was equally bad. It is so difficult to even ask for towel/shower gel, nobody speak English. You have to call at reception then they will tell housekeeping regarding the request, wait time at least 15 - 20 mins. Now Buffet Breakfast, it is like a nightmare specially for Indians, with not much options, I will not recommend this hotel to Indians and specially if you are vegetarian. Only plus point of the hotel is its location, else avoid to stay, if you can. Location: 4 **** Service: 2** Food: 2** Comfort: 2** Swimming Pool: 4*
