For travelers visiting the region, Aktau Airport (SCO) is the primary and only air gateway, located within the city limits of Aktau. It serves as the main hub for both domestic and international flights to the Mangystau region. Choosing the right transport depends largely on your budget and preference for convenience. The most practical and reliable choice for most visitors is using a ride-hailing app like Yandex Go, which offers a balanced experience with upfront pricing. For those who prioritize comfort and want to avoid any negotiation, pre-booked private transfers or airport taxis are readily available, though they command a higher price. Public bus No. 6 remains the only budget-friendly public transit option, though it is best reserved for travelers with light luggage and flexible schedules, as service frequency can be inconsistent. Regardless of your chosen mode, ensure you confirm pricing before departing the terminal if opting for unmetered street taxis.

Aktau|1.9km from city center
The hotel is good, cozy, beautiful, and clean. The breakfasts are delicious and varied, and there's pleasant music in the evenings. The staff is polite and always ready to help; we had an issue with the air conditioning in our room, and it was resolved quickly. At the restaurant and front desk, they always ask for feedback about your stay and wish you a pleasant day. There's a pool, but the weather didn't allow us to use it. The sea, promenade, and shops are all near the hotel. I recommend this hotel for booking.FromUS$77

The location is good, you can see the Caspian Sea directly from the sun. There is a bank nearby that can exchange foreign currencies. There is also a big supermarket. Although the appearance of the hotel is relatively old, the price is very affordable and the front desk service is very friendly.FromUS$20

Aktau|1.03km from city center
The hotel's main advantage is its location. It's practically the only hotel in Aktau with a direct view of the sea and direct access to the cliff path. The inflated price is due precisely to the location.
The room is large and clean, the bed is comfortable. Water is always available. The breakfasts are delicious and varied; one day they even served sturgeon for breakfast.
Upon arrival, we discovered a clogged drain. The problem was fixed within 24 hours.
The hotel's main problem is the internet. There's internet in the hallway, but not in the room. I contacted reception twice to ask for it to be fixed, and they promised to fix it, but it never happened during the six days I spent there. Internet is a basic service that a five-star hotel should have, and I downgraded my rating specifically because of the internet. Everything else is fine (if the price doesn't bother you).FromUS$65

Была нереальная жара в номере от теплых полов. Приходилось включать кондиционер и он работал всю ночь. Чуть не заболели. Нереально жесткий матрас. Ключ карты без указания номера. Лифт нагревается от солнца и в нем едешь как в бане. Плохой интернет, постоянно отключается, плохо ловит сигнал. Цена вообще не соответствует.FromUS$33

Breakfast was adequate and rooms were clean despite a less than stellar sea view. I had a situation where someone had unlocked my door with their key card at 5 in the morning and attempted to enter but was not able to do so because my door was latched. I was unimpressed when the service staff’s explanation was that there was a reset in the security system at that time and the person who attempted to open my door was probably a drunk guest. I had expected far superior service from a family-run guesthouse instead of just a flippant explanation.FromUS$69

I think I was the first Chinese person to stay at this newly renovated budget hotel. The surrounding area is quite desolate, right next to a road and a railway. The soundproofing is surprisingly good; it's like a motel from an American TV show. The room isn't big, but it's clean. There's a slightly pungent smell of renovation residue. Breakfast includes milk, bread, and sausage; the taste is average.FromUS$42

Location: good. Close to a supermarket; the city is walkable from the hotel. Friendly welcome. Double room wasn't huge but was big enough for one person. Very clean and quiet. Comfortable bedding. Kettle and cups provided. Fridge available. Hairdryer. Good Wi-Fi. Efficient, quiet air conditioning. Hot water with good pressure. A downside regarding soap and shampoo supplies: mini-tubes that weren't replenished daily.FromUS$38
