    The hotel's decoration is lovely and offers a cozy atmosphere, perfect for senior travelers like myself. The elegant furnishings and warm color palette create a welcoming environment. Additionally, the hotel's general areas are well-maintained, ensuring a comfortable and pleasant stay. The accessibility for senior people is commendable, with ramps and elevators conveniently located throughout the hotel for easy navigation.

    The only thing I would ask for to enhance a better vacation experience for senior people is more assistance from the staff, especially during peak times. It would be beneficial if the children working there could be more attentive and considerate towards the needs of older guests.

    Location: the hotel was near the mountains to yourself at sunset and sunrise and the airport and more traditional ski resorts. Also, Rodnik "vorota Tuyuk Su" was 2 miles away. The rooms were incredible and incredibly comfortable with 2 separate beds on the 3rd level and fantastic views, as example, I thoroughly enjoyed that.

    Appreciated Almaty, the hotel was recently renovated right across from the ski slopes. Stayed in clean room with grey bed linen. The location was AWESOME and stunning, near a river in the snow, and the nature. Also, it was 2 miles from Rodnik "vorota Tuyuk Su".

    Loved the Medeu ice rink bus schedule, such a thrilling bus ride! The resort has everything from delicious Uzbek pilaf to a snowboard park. Amazing experience!

    Who needs friendly service anyway? Sarcastic staff made me feel like I was in a Soviet hotel.
