During the last year or so, I have stayed at the Renaissance about 10 times. It is a very new hotel, and there were a few teething problems that were very noticable during my first few visits. But the sort of problems encountered during those early days are nowhere to be seen now.
The staff are very friendly and helpful, and there is a great atmosphere both in the lobby area, the lobby bar, and in the sports bar. The restaurant is nice, and the food is good both in the restaurant and in the bars. However, the menu in the lobby bar is a little bit limited. But the Renaissance burger is still available even though it isn't on the menu!
The rooms are of a reasonable size, and the beds are very comfortable. The bathroom is also a good size, but here we find the only thing that I really don't like about this hotel. The shower is almost impossible to use without water splashing all over the floor. And with the bath being quite deep it can also be a little bit tricky getting in or out at times, especially if you have a bad leg or back.
The location is also quite convenient. It is on the main road that runs from the city centre to the airport, and it is also close to the main business area of the city.
All in all the hotel is a convenient and comfortable place to stay, and there is no doubt that it is the best hotel in Atyrau.
