kumnio Posted December 13, 2018 Posted December 13, 2018 My booking at the original price is still active so far.

Will-i-am77 Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 I'm staying in a brand new hostel, Hostel Forum, that's £6 a night. Anyone else staying here?

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
WeeJohnny Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 I think you misread the rate. It's per hour not per night !

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!

Rich NATA Posted March 6, 2019 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?
kumnio Posted March 6, 2019 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.

Rich NATA Posted March 7, 2019 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.
