The hotel is conveniently located, with bus stops to various destinations right outside the entrance. A light rail station is currently under construction nearby. The facilities, service, and breakfast are all impeccable. Elite members are treated with sincerity—room upgrades and welcome gifts were provided.||The staff in the Executive Lounge deserve special mention for their warmth, friendliness, and attentiveness to every request. The lounge itself is well worth experiencing.||This hotel truly deserves a 5-star rating. However, I can only give it one star due to a serious shortcoming in the concierge service—like a drop of poison in a pot of soup.||We traveled all the way to Astana with one single purpose: to see the flamingos. Our time was limited. With the help of the Executive Lounge staff, we coordinated with the concierge, who confirmed arrangements for a hotel car to take us to the national park at 8:30 a.m. the next day (since the park opens at 10:00). The estimated fare was also discussed and agreed upon.||However, when we arrived at the concierge desk at 8:00 a.m. ready to go, the male staff member casually brushed us off, mumbling that to visit the national park, we would have had to leave at 5:30 a.m., and told us to go “tomorrow instead” — without a hint of apology. We were shocked, furious, and deeply disappointed, yet helpless in that moment.
