The hotel exterior & lobby were beautiful. The rooms were small but comfortable. Small tv with 1 English speaking channel - Euronews - but good to be immersed in Russian / Kazakh culture. Good breakfast buffet. More

Clean hotel with some really cool Soviet Era touches from the 1970's, The front desk staff was fairly nice however seemed a tad distant and not too interested in us. While some people like the location, for me it was a bit far from the more pedestrian friendly area of Gogal Street. A gym would be a nice addition. More

I was there almost 5 years ago so I hope the situation has been improved. A few of the staff could speak English. There was no safe in my room. You had to give your cash to the reception people asking for the receipt. No swimming pool. No discos. I thought the hotel had received the stars because it was... More

Stayed for 2 nights. Nothing fancy but nice and relaxed. About $135USD was a good price for Almaty, which is a bit expensive. Good location ..Cable car to Kok Tobe is about 1 block away, Paniflav park and Green Market is about 10 blocks maybe? Nice walk. Rooms were nice with good views in all rooms. Buffet breakfast with chicken&vegetables,... More

Recently stayed for 2 x 2 nights on a business trip. My first impressions were not too crash hot, but by the end of the week I had warmed to the location. Breakfast is also included in the rate of the room - 20,000T (approx. $135 AU) - a buffet selection of eggs, sausages, pastries, cold meats, fruit and yoghurt.... More

I was in this hotel for one weekend. I can't say much about the service because I didn't really deal with this side of the hotel. Reception was helpful to the extent that I needed it, I was also able to store my things in a guarded room for a few hours after checking out while I was walking around... More

Stayed on a Saturday night (in room 1206) and everything was good (including bathroom). The room itself was in perfect nick. Mountain view on this side of building with southerly exposure. Space is medium-sized, with high ceilings, big and sound blocking windows, good lighting, excellent internet connection. Whilst this a basic room (paid walk-in rate of $136 cash), the superiors...

My experience with Hotel Kazakhstan was certainly not as bad as I can read in the reviews here. I had mixed experiences that had both aspects good and bad. The hotel featured spacious rooms and bathroom facilitated with things of necessities. But if you stay with this hotel even for a day you will not take much to sense that... More

the stay would've been okey (great location, nice view, okey room, sort of a fair price for central almaty) if they didn't open a disco-bar on the 26th floor on the third night of my stay. i would now warn anyone to stay out of this hotel, especially if you're on a business-trip in almaty - no quality sleep on...
