If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is A few years back in Latvia I thought I’d knocked it off when I found a hostel for £10 a night. It turned out it wasn’t a travellers hostel like it was advertised, it was mainly used by down and outs and battered wives If I was you and had spent x-amount on flights I’d sure as fuck be splashing out another £20 odds on somewhere with your own room and own shithoose But, different strokes suit different folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeJohnny Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I think you misread the rate. It's per hour not per night ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the advice though but l've stayed in hostels all around the world. And yes they can be a bit hit n miss at times although l will say generally most are fine if you do your homework. I've checked this one out via hostelworld and it looks good. There's only 1 review as it's really new by an American (in my experience they are generally fussy) and they gave it an excellent review. I'll take the risk. The hostel l stayed in Albania was same price and it was good enough. My reasoning is l don't have a lot of money and ld rather spend it on beer. Where you lay your head is here nor there when you are 3 sheets to the wind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich NATA Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Is there any particular reason why almost everyone has booked the G-Empire? Is that the best location? Or was it just a good deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumnio Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Bit of both to be honest. Location seems to be quite good, pricewise there are a lot of other options for similar money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich NATA Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Cheers guys. I was enquiring because I haven't quite figured out where the best location actually is... and Google street view do not appear to have been to Astana. Based on next to nothing, I've concluded, the cross-roads of Republika Avenue and Kenesary Street is the heart of the centre, but who knows. Despite the extraordinary modern architecture, I get the impression south of the river will be a tad soulless and I imagine, a bit shit after sundown.
