Radisson Hotel, Astana

Overall it’s a 7/10 First, we arrived to the hotel early and the receptionist told us that all the rooms are fully booked so she couldn’t make early check-in and we would understand. But then she came back to us after 5mins and said if we agreed to pay 50% extra retail price for the room, she would tell her colleague to prepare a room for us. So, the point is the hotel is fully booked OR there are rooms extra? Secondly, we had an odd feeling at the hotel, we stayed 2 nights and the staff barely greeted the guests. They were chatting amongst themselves. Third, we went out for the day from 9AM and came back to take a nap and around 4PM someone finally came to do room service. Overall, the room was spacious for 3 and the view from our room is very nice but we will not come back to Radisson in Astana.

房間還行，大廳漂亮

Overall I had a disappointing experience, especially at this price level. The staff at the desk that I met were very helpful and it worth pointing that out, they were great and helped me with some important logistic stuff. The problems with the hotel though are many 1) breakfast very ‘flat’ ie food not feel fresh and coffee super bland, 2) room keys have problems - one has to try a number of times to open and sometimes need to get technician from downstairs to help, 3) pool and gym is a private gym next door - facilities are very good but a bit of a walk and does not have intimacy of hotel - so pros and cons there 4) small thing, the security guy at the door looks downright unfriendly and not help in the least bit with luggage. Overall the place feels like it has aged, it not invested in and not managed so well, but good individual staff. For this price , there are much better options.
