Fort Shevchenko Vacation Packages

I had to stay in Aktau another week but had to leave my hotel (which was fully booked). I chose the Silk Way Hotel because it was REALLY well-recommended on Orbitz. What a mistake! If I could give this place “0” stars, that would STILL be too good! Why did other travelers not smell the carpets in the halls and in the room – which smell like sweaty dogs? How could they not comment on the rusty water in the bathroom, or the dust under the bed and in the room in general? How could they eat the really inedible breakfast? I thought the hotel I was in the week before was bad. Now I have a new Aktau hotel at ABSOLUTE BOTTOM. I told my manager that, if I am booked here again, I will pretend to be sick before staying at the Silk Way Hotel.

If you compare the hotel to other Aktau properties can ve the best option.

Good hotel

Good hotel. Nice breakfast. One night stay so no complains.

Though the room was tight, it had a good bathroom and comfortable beds. Breakfast good and many options including eggs to order, with attentive staff. The gym was one of the best in any hotel. Location is near the Caspian Sea and a large grocery store, as well as several types of restaurants. The main negative was that we had no AC in the room. It took a long time to understand why, but we finally understood that we were there during transition season when the AC is not yet available. The staff brought a couple of fans and extended our time before checkout, but it was not so comfortable in a western facing room.
