Отель Hostel Botanical, Алматы, Казахстан

cleanliness. the place was as clean as it could be. for all i cared bedsheets were actually clean properly washed. unlike the other budget hostels which mostly Russians run. laundry was free for some reason I got a suspicious stare every time I asked her to extend. on third day I almost got refused untill I had to clarify this will be my last day regardless (I was waiting for my kyrgystan visa) . considering it was an experience and not a good one i dropped the idea of entering kyrgystan and went towards uzbekistan instead. it's a clean hostel though id rate it highly. But maybe indians look for option somewhere else before opting for this.
