Best Almaty Hotels

"I chose this hostel for my solo trip, and it was a delightful surprise! First off, the value for money is exceptional. The price was very friendly, and the private room I booked was quiet and secluded. Both the room and the common areas were clean and hygienic, making for a very comfortable stay. There's a self-service tea station in the common area, always available for use. The front desk lady spoke excellent English and was incredibly enthusiastic; she patiently answered all my questions. Payment was also convenient, as WeChat Pay is supported. During my stay, I even met several fellow travelers and we had a great time chatting and sharing our itineraries. Getting around is super easy too; there's a bus stop right outside the door with a direct bus to the airport, no transfers needed. I'll definitely choose this place again next time I'm in the area, and I highly recommend it to other travelers!"

"The hotel lobby seems to have been renovated; it's quite grand. The elevators were also undergoing renovation during our stay. The room facilities definitely show their age, but overall it was clean and tidy, though the mini-fridge made some noise at night. We asked the front desk for a quiet room and surprisingly got a two-room suite, which was a pleasant surprise! The breakfast was really plentiful and excellent."

"Everything else was fine. It's near the Green Bazaar and also pretty close to the church. But what's with that tiny bed? It felt like I was going to fall off at any moment. I have no idea why they'd put in such a small bed; a tiny bed just makes the whole place feel cheap and unstable. On the bright side, the facilities are quite new, there are USB and Type-C ports, and they offer luggage storage."

"This hotel is very business-oriented and compact. It's not too far from the airport, about a 30-minute drive. The room design is also good, with everything you need, though the bed was really soft, almost feeling like it sagged. The breakfast was decent; for this class of hotel, it offered a good variety of nutrients, with local and Western options. The only thing I didn't like was that the hotel corridors had a bit of a strong smell and weren't very well-ventilated. It felt like the smell of new decor was a bit heavy, but since the room windows could be opened, it was manageable."

"It was a nice apartment in a good location, but we were unable to do washing as the clothes dryer was full with washing from the previous guest"

"This hotel, run by Chinese owners, felt really great in a foreign land. It's easy to find and very close to the city center, making it convenient to get anywhere. There's also a small supermarket right across the street, which is super handy for shopping. The breakfast was quite good; I especially liked the chive buns and even got to have rice. The fruit wasn't very sweet, and the stir-fried dishes were generally on the blander side. The environment was pretty clean, but there were a few minor flaws. Free bottled water was a big plus! The front desk staff and owners were all very nice."

"Came to Almaty for the first time during the Qingming Festival for a 'special forces' trip (meaning a fast-paced, action-packed trip). Getting a taxi from the airport to the hotel was very convenient. The front desk staff spoke fluent English and asked if it was my first time visiting, recommending nearby attractions. The room itself wasn't too old, though I personally dislike carpets. The bathroom was large, but the shower floor was a bit slippery, so you need to be careful. It was very quiet at night, and while the bed was small, it was comfortable enough. I highly recommend the hotel's breakfast buffet – it was an unexpected delight! The selection was rich, and the food was delicious, providing plenty of energy before heading to the snowy mountains."

"This stay left a very good impression on me. As a person who has been on business trips around the world for a long time due to work, and I have lived in many hotels and homestays, and I rarely take the initiative to write reviews. I am willing to write a few words seriously this time, indicating that it is indeed worth it. The landlord is a Chinese who has traveled to Europe for many years. At present, the doctor is reading, talking well, learning, and understanding of the degree of people, so that the whole stay experience has a rare sense of comfort. There is both a cultural background and a taste of life, and getting along is more like meeting a friend worth communicating in a foreign country, not a simple landlord. The room is very spacious, the decoration is very new, the whole is clean and tidy, the quality of the bedding is very good, there is a comfortable feeling of a five-star hotel, and the stay is very comfortable. What impressed me was the convenience, comfort and temperature. If you don't want to go out at night, you can simply eat some home-cooked food or make something yourself. The host also warmly invited us to eat local chicken and braised beef, which is a natural and sincere hospitality that will make the journey different. For people like me who sometimes need to deal with work during the trip, it is also very convenient. Even office equipment such as printers are available. It is really intimate. Not many accommodations will consider this detail. The traffic is also very convenient, with local car-calling software, usually 3 to 5 minutes by car to the door, to the city or other places are very easy. The house also has a large yard, which I like very much. Because of work reasons, I often need to deal with things during the trip. I worked in the room for a while. When I was tired, I went downstairs to the yard for a walk. It was breathable. The kind of relaxation and comfort was difficult to provide by many standardized hotels. The snow scene of Tianshan Mountain outside the window is a very special part of this place. Living in such a house and watching the snowy mountains does make people feel a short break from the daily rhythm. Some moments remind me of the quiet, calm atmosphere of some mountain cities in Europe, and even a little Swiss feel. For me, good accommodation is not only the hardware conditions, but also the overall experience, the temperature of people and people, and whether this place has its own temperament. It happens to be here. It is recommended."

"Very helpful front desk staff when I encountered difficulty. Clean room with enough space for one person. Can see the snow mountain from the window in the lift lobby when the weather is ok. Breakfast is good with various choice and coffee machine (chocolate is real good), the cake is too sweet for me though. Thete is a CU convenient store nearby. Will stay in this hotel if I come to Almaty next time!"

"Останавливался здесь на сутки и остался очень доволен. Хостел чистый, комнаты аккуратные, постельное бельё свежее. Особенно понравилась атмосфера — персонал дружелюбный, всегда помогал с вопросами и советами по городу. На кухне есть всё необходимое, интернет работал стабильно. Удобное расположение: рядом магазины, кафе и остановки транспорта. За свою цену — отличный вариант. Если ещё буду в Алматы, скорее всего остановлюсь здесь снова."
