Seems to be the best hotel in the town, in my opinion four stars one with some ups and downs. Overall good hotel, not a luxury one but good with central location - all main city centre sites are within walking distance. A large shopping mall nearby. A bit weird architecture of the building so windows in most of rooms are located closer to corners. Standard rooms have relatively small windows, still comfortable. One class higher ones are corner rooms with larger windows - they are a bit cooler but we stayed during -20C days and there was no serious issue with heating in there. River view rooms are obviously better and a bit more expensive. Housekeeping is good for this type of hotels. There is a mid sized gym with some good equipment, saunas and hammam in good conditions, again not luxurious but still good. Good breakfasts are served at the ground floor restaurant with nice Irtysh river view. Hotel personnel could be praised for following sanitary rules during the pandemic - they are all wearing masks and keep cleaning all main areas.
Oskemen or Ust-Kamenogorsk is a mid sized city in the country, rather underrated in terms of tourism, beautiful nature sites around and interesting history of the town. The hotel could be a good base for exploring the area.
