Pretty underwhelming stay. Staff is generally indifferent. Not the friendliest place. Request to address issues like broken hair dryer were taken but then simply ignored. Soap and shampoo dispensers weren't filled. Breakfast is ok with limited selections, 7am weekdays and 8am on weekends is a little late if you have early plans.

Do yourself a favour and stay elsewhere in Almaty
Don't stay here. Appalling customer service. Constant building work and zero customer service. Pneumatic drills right above and next to our room. No apology, no attempt to rectify. Awful. Just awful. Do not stay here.

Great accommodation choice for Almaty
This is a fantastic hotel - clean, cosy, airy. The room exceeded all my expectations with a well proportioned shower, bed and working area. Add to that competent reception staff, wholesome breakfast and superfast wifi. Highly recommended!

The location of the hotel can’t be beat! The staff is hot and miss..... some very nice others just don’t seem to care The airport transfer was a great plus and free but they say til 8am on their ad but really they don’t do after 7 am. So u miss breakfast but they make a to go one for you! The room had a great view was a bit run down the bathroom was hideous and a shortage of plugs! But overall the hotel because of location u can overlook a lot! Not too many staff members speak English well.

Well presented rooms
Easy for taxis to locate. Not much in the area but is a manageable walk to the two cathedrals and main museums. Airport taxis are likely to cost in the region of 4000 to 5000 each way and the journey is 20 to 30 mins depending on traffic. Quick check in, hotel has been made over recently with marble bathrooms, superior rooms are spacious and come with team making although had to unplug things to obtain sockets. Is an over site that the TV can’t be seen from the main beds, but lighting was reasonable, the twin room had a spare third bed, there are cupboards and a desk, couple of chairs, room had two balconies facing onto the theatre out the front as well as a table, bedside cabinets and a clean carpet. Minibar fridge and drinks confusing. Wasn’t sure if the water on the table was charged or not as the size of the water bottles in the fridge didn’t match the charge sheet. Corridor was noisy late into the evening and early in the morning due to the neighbours, one of whom was playing the public piano next to the lifts after midnight, and the minibar knocked on the door in the morning. Otherwise good service, luggage was stored at reception, hotel’s taxi service was reliable, only significant issue was not being able to control the temperature as there were no remotes for the air conditioners.

Shady hotel
I was so dissapointed. I booked a suite with mountain view, and got a shady room in the back. Nothing like photos, old and cold. Only 1 socket worked, in the bathroom used shampoo bottles, dirty towels and long black hair in bed. The only positive point was the restaurant, which was spotless, and food was good. After 1 night we moved to a different hotel, which was perfect.

This hotel is nice on the outside but somewhat tired inside. My disappointments were 1). I was told we could not use the pool without making an appointment to use the facilities and had to pay. This was not made aware of at any point with booking this hotel. 2). There was work/construction at the hotel which was not made aware to us when we checked in and then in our room we had a jack-hammer sound above us. We brought this to the attention of the hotel, only to be told it will finish at 6pm. It continued until 6.30pm when I raised it with the hotel staff again. The noise stopped around 7pm. 3). We had breakfast included in our room rate and were told it was from 7am. We explained we were leaving/checking out at 7am and could we come down sooner for breakfast. The lady said we could come down at 6.45am. When we arrived we were tild that breakfast was not possible. The service by the staff was so unhelpful, to a point of being rude. I asked could we have a breakfast take-away bag or a coffee and was told I would need to pay for coffee. After 20mins of discussion the staff were still unhelpful and breakfast still was not being served. I had explained we were leaving to travel a few hours by car and something to eat would be nice but the staff were not interested. 4).The lifts to the room are very small so awkward with our luggage. I feel that booking through Expedia you are treated differently. If it wasn’t for Expedia we would not have found or stayed in this hotel.

My second time staying at the Almaty Hotel, and I'll definitely stay there again. Located downtown in walking distance to all the main attractions, the hotel has a great vibe. Best of all are the stunning mountain views, especially from the suites on the upper floors. The breakfast buffet, which was very good last year, is improved, and there's a new coffee shop now on the first floor. The staff is very attentive and welcoming. Most know some English, and will call a colleague with excellent English if necessary. Located right next to the main pedestrian concourse and a subway station, there are excellent coffee shops, cafes, and restaurants all around the hotel. The Almaty opera house is directly across the street, featuring excellent productions at ridiculously cheap prices (by western standards). There are many fancier and more expensive hotels in Almaty full of expats and the international crowd, but I much prefer the atmosphere of the Almaty Hotel, which has a balanced mix of local Kazakhstanis and international travelers. For me, the decision is easy: When I'm in Almaty, I stay at the Almaty Hotel. The mountain view alone is priceless.

Its location is very good and so was able to walk around the city. My own concern as an English speaking tourist was most of the TV was in Russian also the street sighs are in Russian letters and so could not read. If Almaty wants more international visitors needs to be more English language focussed rather than Russian focussed as Englidh is the main international langusge

This hotel is okay; bathroom felt small and cramped as if you are in a closet. Breakfast buffet could use a little more variety. Asked housekeeper for coffee and water - two hours later I had to go to front desk and ask for it.

It is central and many restaurants around. One big supermarket is just 6 minutes walk away selling all kind of the food stuff that are needed. You can walk to a few museums, Green Bazzar and Famous parks comfortably. Hotel Staff are friendly and are able to speak English. Good to choose room facing mountain in high floor to get good city view.
