Jumbaktas Hotel

Jumbaktas Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel was my favourite hotel I stayed in Central Asia. The rooms were incredibly spacious and luxurious. This felt more like a 5 star hotel than a 4 star hotel. Great breakfast buffet selection. The pool and spa facilities attached to the hotel were amazing and this was one of the highlights of the trip. Great location in Astana, just a short walk to restaurants, shops and sightseeing places. I would 100% recommend this hotel."
