Summary of traveller reviews

City Hostel in Shymkent offers a fantastic location, close to the main walking street. Guests appreciate the very clean rooms and helpful staff. Some find the common area lacks a strong hostel atmosphere and can be untidy.

When I wanted to check in early (at 11 instead of 14:00) they told me it would be 50% of my total stay, not 50% of 1 night. So for those 3 hours i would’ve had to pay 8000 tenge Rooms were fine, good shower, common area is big but no soul. I had a top bunk near the hallway, light shone directly in my eyes from the hallway ceiling, very annoying.

Grand for a night or 2. The common area and kitchen had a canteen like vibe. No hostel atmosphere. There is a cold and hot water despenser but no one cleans up after themselves. Location is great, just off the walking street
