The hotel boasts an incredible location just a stone's throw from the ski lift, offering stunning mountain views. I had a comfortable suite with two separate beds, but it was quite basic. The staff, especially Juliana and Yegor, really made the trip enjoyable with their attentive service. However, I found the room rather small and in need of some upgrades, and the restaurant was often noisy and bustling late into the night, which made for some restless evenings.

I had a delightful experience at the hotel, with its prime location right by the ski slopes making skiing incredibly convenient. The hotel itself was basic but clean and quiet, providing a lovely retreat in nature. However, the dining options are limited, and the room I stayed in was small and felt a bit stuffy. Overall, if you're there primarily for skiing, it's a good choice.

I had a great time at Shymbulak Hotel, especially because it's right on the mountain with easy access to the skiing lifts. The room was clean, but a bit small, making it slightly uncomfortable for our family. The personnel were genuinely friendly and helpful, but the dining options were basic and not too exciting. Overall, a solid choice for skiing enthusiasts who appreciate the convenience of a ski-in ski-out option.

The hotel has a superb location right next to the ski slopes, offering breathtaking views of the mountains. The rooms are clean but can feel a bit cramped, especially the showers. The on-site restaurant offers a decent breakfast but could improve its menu options. Overall, it's a great spot for skiers but lack of evening activities might leave some wanting more.

The hotel is conveniently located just a short distance from the ski lift, making it perfect for skiing enthusiasts. The room I stayed in was basic but had a large balcony with beautiful views. However, the room could use some updates, as it felt quite dated and simplistic. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay thanks to the location and the helpful staff, but some improvements could enhance the experience.
