Shymkent Grand Hotel arvostelua

Very good rooms -- spacious, quiet, clean -- with good breakfast included in a very reasonable price. Good location with easy access to and from airport (30 minutes). Can also get a very reasonably priced meal right next door at the TopChan restaurant (though much is cooked in the morning and just warmed-up through the day) but would avoid again the Madlen restaurant also next door as much is deep fried and greasy and served in a very noisy atmosphere. Another good pick of restaurants is the Pontos Restaurant about a 10-minute walk away down the Arbat located across the street from the hotel -- excellent meat dishes and service.
