One of the best sights of Alma Ata. Recognizable architecture. Everything is Soviet inside. It's time to update everything inside. The breakfasts are very tasty. The Internet speed is insane. Foreign guests stay here. I recommend it to everyone!
Nice hotel. The rooms are clean and spacious, and the location is convenient. Excellent menu. The breakfasts are great, the buffet with a huge assortment. Polite staff.
The Kazakhstan Hotel is a very beautiful building, it is an architectural monument of 1974, 26-storey. Convenient location in the center of Almaty, near the hotel there is a funicular to Kok-Tobe mountain, parks, central square. Everything is within walking distance.
The rooms are cozy, beautiful views from the Windows. Lots of elevators, beautiful inside and out.
Breakfasts at the hotel are distinguished by a variety of dishes for every taste.
The hotel staff is very polite and professionally trained. The room is cleaned daily.
I recommend this hotel to everyone, you will not regret it.
My review from 2019: "Nice hotel with very steep views."
From 2025: After 6 years of regular visits to this hotel, I supplement the review:
The hotel has gone up a lot, but I can't name any positive changes for this price. Yes, the breakfasts are still good, but they have long since moved from the panoramic restaurant on the top floor to the 2nd floor. And, I must say, it was not a pity to pay money for a night for that alone. Economy rooms were not repaired, and they remained, at the same time, having already risen in price by 70 percent. The rooms sometimes have a strange smell, either of cigarettes or other substances.
In general, I used to say that the hotel is old, but the building is iconic and it's nice to be in it, the staff is trying, but now the price tag already outweighs all the advantages, unfortunately.
The Kazakhstan Hotel is not just a hotel, for me it is a monument of the era, an ornament of the capital of Soviet Kazakhstan, the first skyscraper in the city.
After several renovations, the hotel does not seem outdated at all.
More than 20 floors, comfortable rooms, several popular restaurants and bars, central location, near the square and Abai Avenue, private park, cable car station to Kok-Tobe.
Overall, everything is fine. I would put a 5, but a couple of things can be improved.:
1. The smell in the room was somehow synthetic: it looked like the flooring had recently been glued and, perhaps, it was necessary to choose another one. Well, or the coating. As a result, it's noisy with the window open, and with the window closed, the room fills with a smell very quickly. You can get used to it, but why?
2. There was no shoe horn. It wasn't critical to me, so I didn't ask. But the girl cleans there every day, she might have noticed.
Otherwise, everything is fine: the location is good, the staff is polite, and the breakfast is decent.
On the top floor there is a restaurant with panoramic windows, a great view of the city from the last century! They are proud of their history and, it seems to me, for good reason.
And one more thing: there are a couple of armchairs from a previous era in the room - very old and, in my opinion, very comfortable - I was happy to end the day in them.
The service and attitude are excellent. The breakfasts are delicious and satisfying. The location of the hotel in the center has a place to go to cultivate and eat everything within walking distance.
A huge banquet hall, the hotel has everything you need, but the renovation is very simple!
Everything is clean. Conveniently located in the very center, near the metro and pedestrian boulevard
The place is iconic.
It is a Soviet building, but the interior is being updated. Not big comfortable rooms with good repair. Buffet breakfasts. Excellent cuisine. Everything is delicious and standard.
4 I put an Abai hall for the candy. In which he spent 3 long days. It stands out sharply from the entire hotel. Non-working sockets (to our remark, the technician said that it was necessary to disassemble the table. In 3 days, he did not get to the outlets. It's good that they gave you an extension cord) Constant noise from the refrigerator (empty).
There are many places to go for dinner around the hotel. Everything is within walking distance.
By the way, the currency exchanger is right there in the hotel (next to the reception). The exchange rate is the same as in the nearby exchangers.
If you go on vacation, I would put all 5 stars.
The hotel is one of the main business cards of the city. It was built in 1977. The building was the tallest and most seismological in the city. The convenient location and beautiful mountain views attract many tourists.
good service, breakfast. they go towards each other by numbers (above/below, city/mountains). There's a bar/shop downstairs. Medeo is also close, for whom it is important / understandable / interesting. Well, historically, the building is not quite ordinary!
It's a good place. There are excellent rooms. The rooms have a standard set for hygiene, Quiet, calm. Breakfast is on the level, included in the room rate. This huge chandelier in the hall is a work of art! I want to believe that in the near future the rooms will have a more modern design and the refrigerators will not make so much noise!
Gorgeous views of the city and mountains from the top floors, many restaurants inside, delicious food, no gym, there is a kettle on the desk in the standard room, but there is no outlet for it, since in Soviet times a kettle was not allowed.
The landmark hotel was built in 1974. The first skyscraper in Almaty. It is considered one of the earthquake-resistant buildings in the city. The hotel is quite comfortable, the staff is polite, there is a lobby bar, a restaurant on the 26th floor. There are a lot of places and interesting locations nearby.
The hotel has a spa on the 16th floor. Not to be confused with a spa complex with a thermal zone. In this case, you will get half an hour to warm up in the sauna. Hammam (small) for an additional fee.additional payment. Massage, of course, is also at a separate price list.
Of the minuses, the repair is of course done with many minor flaws and requires updating. Breakfasts are between 3+ and 4. For 6 days in a row, the only variety was soups that changed every day. All other dishes and snacks are the same.
I like the atmosphere in this hotel! Usually I am either in the lobby or in the Thai spa center))
In the lobby there is delicious coffee, pastries, comfortable armchairs and sofas, Wi-Fi, you can work online or just drink coffee in a relaxed atmosphere. The restaurant is on top 24/7. There is a white grand piano in the corner, it is often played professionally by tourists
I don't know, of course there are cooler hotels, but I love this one for a special vibe.
The view from the windows is simply fantastic, the rooms would like to be updated! Good location, everything is nearby. The service is good, the staff is excellent and understanding! I've stayed here many times
I fell in love with the hotel from the first visit,everything is on top,the food is a buffet tomorrow, business lunches,many restaurants for every taste, a convenient location within walking distance, we'll cook for you
A great hotel with spacious rooms. The most wonderful thing is breakfast. Wifi is available, but not super fast. Enough for work. I will note the good sound insulation
Not a bad hotel! Delicious food! The rooms are clean and large! Convenient location and kind, helpful staff!

Impressions:
I stayed at the Kazakhstan Hotel for a few days and was very pleased with my choice.
The rooms are spacious and clean, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the service is top notch.
The rooms are clean, overall I liked everything. The breakfasts are quite good, quite varied. You can find something to eat for those who prefer a healthy diet.
It's a very nice hotel. There is a currency exchange point. Excellent buffet. A very good location: within walking distance of the Russian Drama Theater. Lermontov.
A wonderful hotel!
Professional and very polite staff, clean, warm, the hotel itself is a power! The view zones from each window are mountain ranges, and on the upper floors in the morning, when it's foggy, you can't see the ground, thick clouds and mountains)) the breakfasts are good, the restaurants are at the hotel. I really liked everything!
An expensive restaurant on the 26th floor, delicious sushi is made for 25 thousand tenge, wine from all over the world for 30 thousand tenge to 350 thousand tenge. The rooms are modern, cleaned every day. Breakfast was included, the selection is large, buffet. We had breakfast on the terrace. The hotel is highlighted. The view is gorgeous in the evening! Everything is within walking distance
Excellent hotel, excellent service, clean rooms, Lived on the 23rd floor with a view of the mountains and the city-in the palm of your hand. The location is great - everything is within walking distance. Breakfast is a buffet, everyone will find for themselves, food to taste. The staff is friendly, we used the laundry service. We washed a pair of jeans, were ready in the morning, everything was done quickly and efficiently.
We chose a hotel online and everything looked mediocre in the photos, if you don't take some "luxury" hotels and rooms. But in the end, we chose this hotel and guessed right in all respects. It is located almost in the center, we walked to everything we needed, took buses and taxis a couple of times. The breakfast is amazing, we took an economy room and the room was amazing based on our expectations. The view from the windows is amazing, we also got to Nauryz and, as a result, had a great vacation.
Great hotel. Delicious breakfast. Attentive staff. Clear. Good price-quality ratio. Convenient location. The only disadvantage is the huge number of Indians who differ in their mentality.
Full-fledged varied breakfasts, the room is clean, cleaned every day.
The reception staff is friendly and helpful. They helped us solve the issue of the tour in a very short time
The hotel itself is very nice, but there is a square nearby, where events are incredibly loud in the summer until 3-4 nights, then the restaurant is just thumping and screaming so that the closed windows do not save. I don't understand why they are allowed to relax in a hotel.
A good hotel, convenient location, everything is nearby. Outwardly, he looks a little old, but inside he is basically normal. The view of the mountains is very beautiful. Nearby there is a swimming pool with a bar and music, separate payment, it is beautiful, stylish and you can relax all day with pleasure. I recommend this hotel!
Good location, courteous staff, excellent breakfast, great view from the window, cold beer in the restaurant, you can play the piano in the lobby) Please note that for some reason Yandex.Taxi automatically puts a dot outside the hotel.
Everything is fine. I liked everything. Delicious breakfasts, excellent location.
And the most important thing!!! In case of an earthquake, this is the safest location in the city, keep in mind.
I definitely recommend this accommodation option in Almaty! Among the advantages are a convenient location in the city center, beautiful views, fresh renovation, good sound insulation, private Parking, delicious breakfasts, a professional team managing the hotel. I will consider this hotel on my next visit
The hotel is good. Decorated for the New Year holidays - gorgeous. The room is small, but quite cozy and has everything you need. The view from the 24th floor is wonderful! The bathroom is well equipped, although for complete comfort you can add a hygienic shower. But that's if you really find fault.
The staff is friendly, the breakfast is delicious and very varied. Of the minuses, perhaps, only one - they did not live there for long - it was too expensive for us! But we had fun! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
The hotel itself is nice, but the rooms are a bit shabby. The phone wasn't working in the room, and it was impossible to call the reception desk, just to go downstairs. Wi-Fi and mobile communication in the room are very poorly received. The air conditioner creaks and clicks.
The breakfasts are good, there is plenty to choose from!
But the appearance of the hotel is something with something!... I stood and admired the building.
The staff is friendly and quick to respond to problems. 😁
Very convenient location, in the city center. The staff is friendly, the breakfasts are very tasty, the rooms are spacious and cozy, the beautiful view from the hotel windows of the beautiful mountain landscape and the city)❤
A good hotel, a very tasty and varied breakfast (especially lemonades)). The rooms are cleaned normally, the rooms are ordinary, only very soft mattresses. Convenient location , you can walk all over the city center from it
The room is clean, everything you need is available, the reception is polite. The location is gorgeous. Parking is free upon arrival. There is water for drinking. We'll see breakfast in the morning
A hotel with a great history in the center of Almaty. Some of the rooms have already been renovated in a modern way, some are in the process, and some with a fairly old renovation. I think all the rooms will be new soon. The only drawback in the rooms is water problems. Sometimes you wait for hot water for a long time, then the drain does not work very well, then the water pressure. The problem needs to be solved...
The breakfasts are great!!! And dinners at the same restaurant.

A standard room was booked.In fact, they gave us an economy room, which we accidentally found out about when we went to complain about a cold room in the late afternoon. The wind blew from the windows so that even in the elevator and the lobby it was much warmer. After complaints and inquiries about the number, it was changed from the 3rd time. The safe wasn't working anywhere!
The staff was obviously messing with the rooms, passing off the worst as standards.
The entrance group and the restaurant were fine.
The breakfasts are satisfying, without frills, but you can eat.
From cleaning -towels were changed every day, garbage was taken out. Otherwise, as the crumbs were on the table, they remained. Water was added 2 liters each day .
In general, the stated numbers do not match the booking photos. And there are many questions about the questionable work of the reception staff.
In general, it is very, very good. The best thing here is with room cleaning and meals. Breakfast, restaurant - very good. The building itself and the views from 20+ floors - it definitely makes sense to get this experience.
The location in the city is also good.
There is no gym, which is sad. I found the nearest place a couple of blocks from the hotel.
During my stay, repairs were underway on some floors, oddly enough, they did not interfere.
In general, the lack of a gym or a similar place to charge was the only downside for me personally. Otherwise, it's great
Cool location. Excellent breakfasts. The rooms are clean. Friendly staff.
Minus one. A very loud constant hum from the outdoor air conditioner (probably from the restaurant). Closed windows didn't help at night. Noisy - it is impossible to sleep. We lived on the 13th floor. We need to take the number above.
Great location. There are restoryns, cafes, shops all around. There is a funicular nearby. Gorgeous view from the windows from the upper floors.
I booked a standard room - old, but clean. Good price.
The rooms are spacious.
Room cleaning every day.
Water in the room every day is a liter bottle. Tea, kettle, etc. There is a refrigerator, but there is no minibar. The double bed is comfortable with a normal double mattress.
There is no shoe spoon. The trash can is the only one in the bathroom.
The ironing board is disgusting - it needs to be changed.
In general, I am satisfied. I'll come again.
Thank you so much for the information and the hotel. Everything is comfortable, good and perfect. Visitors are always very satisfied and recognize the hotel as a luxury
The room is clean, but not cozy. Breakfast is meager. The bed is clean. The Internet sucks (1 star). I couldn't get into the room, the electronic key was buggy, and I went down to the reception 3 times. Staff service is good.
There are no complaints
, the location is convenient
The breakfasts are decent
The room was cleaned every day
The water was changed every day
There is an exchange point with a fairly normal exchange rate
Yes, the hotel is already tired, the windows in the rooms are wooden, but in principle this does not spoil the feeling.
