Senator hotel — Hotel in Karagandy

We stayed two nights in Karaganda at the Hotel Senator and had a great time. This is a modern, mostly business-oriented hotel (Karaganda not being a touristy city) but it is outstanding. It is very nicely and stylishly appointed with a nice lobby and restaurant area and very nice, large, comfortable rooms with large windows. The entire place is extremely clean and well maintained. It is very well -run, with staff who are attentive, friendly, and helpful, but very professional. The one running the reception and one at the restaurant spoke excellent English.||The rooms came with breakfast, which was outstanding. The menu includes a choice from different set breakfasts - Russian, "American," "French," etc. We tried both the Russian and American and both were outstanding. The American was not really what we would think of as a traditional American breakfast but had it scrambled eggs, toast and mini American-style pancakes. The Russian breakfast included outstanding sirniki, blini, and kasha.||The location is excellent in the city centre. It is easy to get to the hotel when driving in, and easy to get out of the city quickly, yet its central location makes it very walkable for the city centre, with many important local sites and places to at or drink within pleasant walk, the streets being fairly quiet and...

The hotel staff are lovely, the majority knows English very well. The food is very nice, but the best restaurant (Balkon) you need to pay at the table, cannot charge the room. Would love if the breakfast was like buffet, but it's okay. The rooms are clean and modern. It has Smart TV in the room and the Wi-Fi signal is strong, but it's not fast as the TV sometimes struggles on YouTube videos. It's the best hotel in Karaganda. But, the sound insulation is terrible. The sound coming from other rooms is like you're in a cheap hotel. Nonsense guests turning on the TV at high volume late at night or having a group chat at 3 am when you need to sleep make you wish you were in another hotel,...
