Top Aktau Hotel Reviews

Renaissance by Sulo

Renaissance by Sulo

8/10 Good
"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."
