Find Hotels in Almaty, Kazakhstan

Very good place to stay. Nice, convenient, quiet, comfortable, well located etc. Noori, the girl who oparetes the hostel, is very friendly and helpful.

I stayed at Dostyk for 2 weeks and it was a sad time when I finally left (very reluctantly). This place is beautiful like a castle from the outside, but the inside is even better. When you enter you will be greeted by the wonderful Gulnaz, who will do anything she can to help you out (she also runs a family, she’s like superwoman really). Dinara, the other staff and the Kazakh guests are all so friendly and helpful, sharing their time, food and stories with you. I feel so lucky to have met some amazing people here. The rooms are spacious, comfortable beds and big lockers for storage. There is a big bathroom on each floor (3 floors) so you can always find one empty. There is a big kitchen downstairs, access to a washing machine and clothesline, tv, front yard and outside cooking facilities. 5 minutes or less away is Dostyk Avenue which is full of restaurants, supermarket, bus stops, exchange office, basically anything you need, but the hostel is still in a quiet area. Love this place !

A good and clean hostel, comfortable bed, friendly and helpful staff, nice atmosphere that you can easily make friends there! The only cons is there is quite a distance from hostel to city centre, but still a walkable distance and you and easily take a bus. I really enjoyed my stay here and I will definitely come again if I visit Almaty next time!

Merits: The rooms were large with basic facilities at a low price, without fancy stuff of course. One thing I have to show my super great appreciation was that I got my passport stolen during the few days there, and one of the staffers Munur helped me a lot by accompanying me to the police station (which you could imagine how frustrating it could be by the police's responsibility-shirking attitude plus poor English!) for nearly 5 hours at night (even though his English was limited)! He also helped me print out necessary documents for embassy & border control use (thank goodness I'd taken photos of the registration certificates, migration cards, etc. which were of utmost importance when yone travels in Central Asia). Yet he did not request for any benefits - I even had to "beg" him to let me treat him for a late dinner after the 5 hours' "torture" in the police report process the whole night! I'm sure many other guesthouses or hotels would not have such extra "service"! Demerits: Despite restaurants & shops nearby, it was far away from tourist places & metro stations.

Cheap value for money. Close to tourist spot and many cafes to chill. 1Staff know English and very helpful. Definitely back again if here. extend my stay as nice comfort room too.

This is a really nice hostel. They are clean, friendly and kind, and have excellent free breakfast. It is a beautiful hostel to live in. Next time I visit Almaty, I will stay here again.

stunning view and fresh air. but takes so long to the hotel because the hotel is at almost the top of shymbulak. no lift, only one restaurant, and not much facilities

The staff were lovely, they helped my wife when she hurt her ankle and were always happy to give advice. Thank you! The room was very big and clean and great value. The location of the hotel isnt good though, so i would only stay here if you speak russian and can handle kazakh taxi drivers!! There is no breakfast but there is a 24 hour cafe next door with the usual kazakh food.

The location of the hotel was great as it was just opposite Green Bazaar, and within walking distance from metro station. The hotel price was cheap as compared with other hotels in Almaty and included breakfast. The hotel corridor and room style gave a nostalgic (Soviet) atmosphere. Our room was having the street view and we could see a bit of Tienshan far away. However, the bathtub was small and comprised a sitting step. For those who wanted a shower only, it was risky to slip. The staff were helpful but spoke little English, and we used translation apps to communicate. After all, it is good for low to middle budget travelers to Almaty.

I had an 18-hr layover in Almaty.. I needed to quickly rest and shower. I'm glad that there is a. hotel near the airport. Though the shower are shared.

This hotel quite new, clean, but water pressure in shower not very strong. Nice stuff, kindly offer us some food for take away because we leave very early, before the breakfast start

The apartment is big and spacious. Plus, it is very clean. We can do our own cooking. We love it. Although it is not situated in city centre, the parks, green bazaar and Abay Metro are all within 15 - 30 minutes' walk. Thanks Erken for offering a free service of driving us to the airport .

do not expect much but it is a clean cheap place to stay overnight in the middle of the city

It was my first time visit at Almaty as Transit.And,this hotel was great choice for me! All staff were very kind and warming!! Also,the place and room was perfect! I could walk around to see the town and had great time! Thank you for everything and I will look foward to seeing on someday again :)

I stayed there 4 nights for a long weekend in Almaty. I liked the place, convenient location, great rooms, very good breakfast, but they only gave toothbrushes, shower gel and soap on the first day. I ran out of it by the second night there, and asked every day for it - never got. Also, the room cleaning happens very late, was impossible to take a nap during the day as I was waiting for the cleaning - and after cleaning, it was too late.

there is pretty big swimminh pool outside though it had no water due to not so hot weather. stayed just one night between transfer flights, so liked that it's close to the airport. about 30 mins to the center (what taxi driver said). transfer booked by hotel is on time & with comfort on mercedes)). breakfast is good though not so big. also what good - check-out time is flexible - you always get room for 24 hrs from check-in time, just remember to let them now when you expect to arrive!!

Excellent communication on how to access apartment. Extremely clean and well appointed with great facilities. Location right next to airport so brilliant if you need to be close or like us if you have a car and don't mind where you stay.

I had a very comfortable stay. The gate to enter the apartment is on the back side ( You will see children play area there ). The lift goes till 14 Floor and one floor you have to climb through stairs . The Apartments is having all the facilities which is required and i had one day trip with the owner which was very nice and quite informative. Koke tobe cable car station , Panfilov Park are near by . Highly recommended and Will definitely visit again.

Almaty Hotel is situated in a fabulous location, directly across the road from The Opera House and at the end of the pedestrian walkway. Shops, restaurants and a bus route from the airport are all within easy walking distance.

Kazakh staff, particularly the young woman at check-in, were not exactly friendly or helpful. I had prepaid and despite explanations in English, Russian, and Kazakh she did not seem convinced. The room was on the small side, but perfectly fine, one of the strangest shower/toilet arrangements I have ever encountered, and the hot water wasn't exactly working. Breakfast staff and check-out were much more amiable, overall a good experience, not the best, but certainly not the worst.

I spent one afternoon and night in Almaty on a layover from a flight from Hong Kong heading to Amsterdam. It turned out to be a very interesting small trip in Almaty, which was also due to the very nice 'Guest House on Sadovaya'. The owners were very friendly and Enlgish was not a problem. The free pick-up service from and to the airport was very convenient. The room with balcony was huge and clean.The location was very convenient; from the Guesthouse I walked to the Zemkov Cathedral, which was really impressive, in about 20 minutes, and from there I walked to several other locations in Almaty. All in all I believe this to be the best place to stay in Almaty.

They have always provided gests with airport pick-up & drop service. It is convinient for travelers.

Price is good for a hotel room like this. Spacious rooms. Clean. Recently renovated. Reception was kind enough to give me a room before check in time. Breakfast included. I would recommend. I'm planning to stay there again next time. Thanks.

this hotel is located very good place. near good market (1 floor has food market) and good place walk around almaty. and very very kind staff. but I think that they don't like to change towel. but others almost very like.

If you are the kind of traveler who needs just a place to put your stuff, freshen up, and crash at night, then this is more than enough. The staff were nice and helpful, the hotel had basic amenities, was clean and had decent wifi. I would definitely consider this place if I am in Almaty again for a short stay.
