I visited Almaty for the first time, and Kazakhstan too. The hotel Kazakhstan was easily booked immediately, from the moment of its selection, ordered on the website. No intrusive offers, documents were promptly sent. Subsequently, at the reception, that feeling from the moment of booking has already passed into the present. Polite staff, pleasant service. I recommend not to give up breakfast at the hotel, it is very tasty, varied and tables on the second floor overlooking the hall, the entrance group. The rooms are clean, they take care of cleanliness every day. Due to its location in the city, the hotel is also conveniently located. There is a bus stop opposite, from where you can get to Medeo. There is also a cable car available, from which you can see the city of Almaty, surrounded by mountains. Beauty! If only the weather would allow you to enjoy the beauty, cloud cover is quite common, but it does not reduce your good mood.
In general, everything is fine. Convenient location. Budget prices for a standard room. Clean, cleaned regularly. The building is from the Soviet past, but well maintained. For business trips, this is the best option.
A good hotel, the interior is pompous, beautiful, the staff is good. Parking is convenient. A delicious cafe on the ground floor. Convenient location, in the city center.
A hotel with good breakfasts, courteous staff and the possibility of checking in earlier for an additional fee if a room is available
The reception area is incredibly beautiful and comfortable, which does not interfere at all with the interiors of both floors and rooms
Inside, on the ground floor there is a cozy cafe, as well as a souvenir shop, where the best gifts of Kazakhstan have been painstakingly selected. Highly recommended!
The window first had a view of the micro mountain, and then a couple of hours later the majestic peaks appeared. True magic!
A typical Soviet hotel. The former pathos may even please you, but there are many other more pleasant establishments. The building itself is very beautiful and there is a stunning view from the upper floors. And its location is very convenient.
For their money, these are real three stars in terms of content, and in terms of location, architecture and general mood, this is the best hotel in Almaty.
A good hotel for business travelers. It is quite acceptable in terms of its basic services and price tag. The location allows you to get to various points of the city without problems.
The hotel is at a height, the view from the window of the 25th floor is amazing! the room is large, comfortable, the bed is very comfortable, the food is excellent, the service is very friendly and responsive.
Of the cons, I personally did not have enough light where the table is a mirror, it is too dark to use for work.
Otherwise, everything is very wonderful. I will definitely come back.
Good, stable 4. There are a number of disadvantages - the key one is that there is no possibility to order something for dinner/snack in the lobby during possible negotiations. The organization of this space does not bring the necessary efficiency to the owner and does not create an atmosphere of comfort for guests and those who come.
I'm just in love with this hotel, a earthquake-resistant building from Soviet times, is a landmark of the southern capital. BUT there is not even a smell of a "scoop" there, from the upper floors and the restaurant there is a magnificent view of the mountains, the city itself, and the NIGHT ALMATY is simply amazing, excellent breakfasts for every taste from porridge and cottage cheese to fried eggs with sausages, from pancakes to meringue, from fresh strawberries to pickled cucumbers. VERY polite staff speaking 2 or more languages, there are always a lot of foreigners among the guests.
Convenient location. Attentive and friendly staff 👍
A varied and delicious breakfast. The rooms are clean and spacious. A great souvenir shop. Great view from the window!
An atmospheric place to stay at least for a couple of nights. Life here is in full swing 24/7.
The hotel is not new, you can hedge by choosing a superior room, not a standart. On high floors, you have to wait for hot water (up to 10 minutes at peak time). Comfortable beds and pillows, the bathroom is compact, there are not enough hooks for towels and a bathrobe. Cleaning depends on the maids on shift.
Friendly reception staff, but with a large number of guests at the same time at the counter, you have to wait a long time for a free employee. Great breakfast. There is a good coffee shop in the lobby. There are restaurants in the hotel building, including round-the-clock Noodles.
Indeed, it can be noisy from music from the street, especially if there is a concert nearby on the square, but no music from the bar on the top floor interfered (I lived on the 19th floor).
The location of the hotel is obviously excellent.
We stayed at the hotel in 2022. At that time, there were no complaints about the room, it was clean, the sets and tea were reported during cleaning, the breakfasts were excellent. When booking, we asked for a room with a mountain view, if possible, the request was satisfied, which we were very happy about :)
The only minus was that we were in a private car, parking was free for guests, we left the car number at the reception several times, but when leaving the territory we were asked to pay the parking bill all the time, we had to figure it out and spending time to prove that we are guests and we don't need to pay anything.
And so a great option to stay in Almaty, we recommend it!
Everything is cool! We did not have a very large room-21m, but with a view of the mountains, a tower on the kok tobe mountain! It's really cool! The square below and the main attractions are within walking distance.cool restaurants above and below))
The main problem is the sound from the clubs at night! He is very audible! We closed the windows and slept in earplugs)) although at first we danced in the same clubs!wooden window frames-sound insulation 0
The hotel is good. Price is quality. Regardless of the room level, cleaning is equally good. The rooms have everything you need, change of towels and bed linen every day. Also in the rooms there are bathrobes, slippers, shaving and dental kits, shampoo, gel, etc. Separately, I would like to mention very good breakfasts, which are included in the price. Buffet, you won't leave hungry. The staff is friendly and courteous.
It's just an iconic building. The rooms are a little tired, but everything is clean and the view of the mountains is gorgeous. The breakfasts are delicious.
I was at the hotel in early September 2024, we stopped by late, we went into the room and there was no hot water. They gave it 2 hours later. Okay, okay, while we ate, the time passed unnoticed. In general, the first impression upon entering is wow, beautiful, light. We go up to our floor - hello USSR, there is carpet in the room itself, it is stained, the smell in the room is musty, I had to open the window. There is no hood in the shower. Well, the bed is normal, I slept well. Because of this, I did not get to breakfast, they said that the breakfast was great.
Plus the location . There are no more advantages . The room was small and terrible, everything was old . Everything is smoky and shabby everywhere . The hotel is very old , it needs renovation.
Happy with the hotel!!)
That 's why it 's a classic !!!
The prices are acceptable, the staff of any category is friendly and, if necessary, they will always help and prompt :)
The rooms are nice and the view is always beautiful :)
I really liked this hotel. The hotel building is considered, if I am not mistaken, a masterpiece of Soviet architecture (the times when the Kazakh SSR was part of the RSFSR). Good location. Clean, modern rooms, a variety of buffet breakfasts, friendly staff!
I really liked the hotel, despite the fact that there is a lot left in it from Soviet times, but at the same time, excellent cuisine, beautiful views from the restaurant, clean rooms and price / quality in general for 5!!!
The hotel is located in a beautiful location. The view from the room is gorgeous.
On the plus side: a great buffet, the staff is responsive.
And "not pluses": the price for the room is high, slightly overestimated, the renovation is long-standing and everything in the room is not quite fresh, bathroom and toilet. If it wasn't for the price, then you can safely put 5 stars, as well as 4.
This is certainly not a ritz or a hayat. 4 stars is a stretch. But many floors are still undergoing renovation. But living in the most recognizable building in Kazakhstan is priceless.
I recommend it! A quiet pleasant place, there is a 24-hour bar, but there were a couple of people there)))) there is a swimming pool, Jacuzzi, hammam and sauna. The location is convenient.
Probably one of the most famous hotels in Kazakhstan. Excellent breakfast. At night, the hotel is beautifully illuminated and visible from afar. The room is not bad at all.
A good, cozy hotel of Soviet times-it feels like) the room stock is no longer the freshest, but this does not spoil the overall impression of the service, delicious breakfasts and generally quite a comfortable atmosphere
I like the hotel.
We stay there on business trips.
There are no complaints.
The staff is polite and helpful.
There are cafes and shops nearby.
There is an opportunity to walk around the beautiful places.
It is a historical place, and occupies a leading position in terms of service and location. But you have to be prepared for the noise in the rooms from the street, bars and concerts, you won't be able to sleep here, because the windows are from the Soviet era - what can you do, a museum is a museum, although at the entrance it seems that everything is at the highest level
Outside and inside, the hotel is respectable. But when I went up to the room, I saw that the windows were wooden and the noise and cold from the street penetrated into the room.
Running shower hoses and no burning light bulbs, but overall a very cool view from the Windows, excellent location, clean linen and good service. The breakfasts are acceptable, although monotonous.
The restoration of the building has modernized this hotel!!
There are always many guests, many tenants, many meetings!!
Each floor has its own life!!
There is a coffee shop and recreation facilities in Loba!
I use it for meetings!!
We held a graduation party in the GrandBallroom Almaty, which is located in the hotel Kazakhstan. A great place with a great room, delicious food and excellent service.
Great location! There are different levels of rooms. I noticed for myself that the higher the floor, the more comfortable the rooms. The breakfasts are very good!
We were in Almaty for the first time. We checked into the hotel "Kazakhstan" and were delighted. Nostalgia since childhood - I remember my grandparents had a lamp in the form of a hotel. The building is Soviet from the outside, but as soon as you cross the threshold, you get into a fairy tale. We were vacationing with my daughter and chose a standard room, but it's more than standard😍
There is a lot to talk about its advantages:
1. Two huge rooms with everything you need: two TVs, 2 double and 1 double beds, a sofa with a coffee table, a tea chest, a chest of drawers, two closets, a hanger, a large bathroom (bath, bidet and bathroom, all bathroom accessories - brushes, gels, shampoos, soap, shaving accessories, hot towel warmer, bathrobes).
2. Air conditioning, refrigerator.
3. Tea accessories: electric kettle, coffee, milk, sugar, black and green tea. Two liter bottles of water.
4. Magnificent view from the windows, beautiful lobby, elevators.
5. The buffet breakfast is gorgeous: for every taste, for diabetics, for those who are on PP, and for lovers of sweets.
6. Friendly staff - guys at the reception: all our wishes are taken into account (early check-in is free), high floor (given 22); maids immediately provided an iron.
WE WILL DEFINITELY COME BACK TO YOU AGAIN.
The norm. Built in Soviet times, but well preserved and maintained, good breakfast. Great location. Reasonable price. Could it be better? Exactly, yes, there are scuffs, but tolerable, clean. But the smell suggests that once there was smoking in the rooms
I recommend.
The rooms have excellent views of the mountains and the city, the service is normal and did not need anything. Breakfast is a buffet of fresh fruits, steamed vegetables, etc., and desserts seem to be downwind. The rooms are clean, but the mirrors in the elevator are dusty (you can write messages) :)
A great hotel, I have already stayed twice in this department, I was satisfied with everything. It can be noted that the location is very convenient for rest and walking:Kok Tobe, Medeo nearby, and a beautiful view from the window.
The staff, service, food is on the level, the rooms are recently renovated and old, everything is fine in the new ones, we got one and our friends were less lucky there was an old room with a strange unpleasant smell, we were lucky to get 5 stars
A legendary hotel, there is a restaurant on the ground floor, the interior design was modernized several years ago, some floors are rented for commerce, such as podcast studios, tour agencies, etc. nearby there is all the necessary infrastructure in terms of recreation, shopping, bars and cafes!
