We currently live and work in Atyrau. My husband and I wanted a few nights away from the house. We loved the inside of the lobby, room and dining area. Service was good. We were on the third floor (no elevator) and it was quiet. The lobby is separated from the rooms, so you have to walk outside to get to your room. It was secure as you had to have a fob to even get into the building. The room set up was a plus. We had a 2 bedroom, both with full baths, with a living room and kitchen between. Was great as a home away from home. We especially liked the location for the closeness to restaurants. O'Niels', an Irish pub, is a stone throw away, and other restaurants are in easy walking distance. The hotel is located on the river, and there is a river path which can take you even further into town easily. Breakfast was included and was a nice selection! The downside, for my husband, who loves to exercise, was the gym. Equiptment was old and not in working order. As with other buildings in town, you shouldn't judge the inside, by the outside. The inside is great and we would recommend it to others!
