We stayed on the ground floor away from the road and it was really quiet. The breakfast was ok for a small hotel. We found the hotel comfortable.We did have a safe problem, which wasn’t fixed, but we did only stay 2 nights.

Arranged an airport transfer with the hotel before I travelled and when I left. Both excellent. Communication superb. Booked a single room which was more than spacious enough for a single traveller. Very comfortable bed and bottles of water delivered daily. Bathroom and shower more than adequate. There was a small room on my floor where guests could iron their clothes. Ask reception for the location and it'll save you packing a portable iron. The cooked element of breakfast was middling but there was plenty of other options available (cold meats, cheese, porridge, fruit, yoghurts etc). Wifi very much up to scratch. Had no problems with emails and using Spotify. Had a very pleasant stay here.

Had a good stay here. Staff were friendly and spoke good English. I didn’t use the spa facilities but I was given a tour and they looked fantastic. A shame I didn’t have enough time to partake. Breakfast was ok. I found the room very warm and needed to open the window during -15c to cool down a bit. The radiators didn’t seem to be adjustable.

Disappointed Stay

We booked 2 rooms and stayed for 2 nights. Checkin was swift and our first impression was good. However, there were serious lapses in terms of service: 1. The reception offered us packed breakfast box as we have a tour following morning before the breakfast starts (at 6am) but they forgotten to make the arrangement with the restaurant 2. We left our luggages with the hotel after checkout and there were no luggage tag and they did not take note of number of pieces. When we retrieved our luggages later, they left out one piece until we went in to the storage room to identify our missing luggage 3. We left a charger and powerbank in the room, and we asked about it 3 hours later, we have to go to different floors to hunt the housekeeping staff to retrieve our items 4. There is no one at the reception counter most of the time when we have questions or requests

Everything about Tien Shan excuses class. The staff are professional and courteous, the amenities are top notch, the rooms spacious, clean, and comfortable. The breakfast dining facilities were well laid out with a sumptuous array of food items I especially appreciated how well located Tien Shan is. From there, almost everything one needs is within a20 minute walk. Great stay.
