Gagarin Capsule Hotel in Almaty

Lovely Hostel. Clean Rooms. Privacy guaranteed. Lockers with Code. Metro, Bus Stands and Supermarkets are close to hostel. Deducting one star because of checkin experience, the man in the reception area was adamant to pay for 6 nights at the time of checkin and was behaving rude but after payment suddenly his behaviour changed to welcoming. Remember you need to pay upfront before checkin. Otherwise a great place to stay for solo travellers.

A very warm welcome from the moment we arrived, with great flexibility to adapt our schedules. The hotel is comfortable, thanks in particular to the well-designed individual cabins, with towels provided. The breakfast is varied and copious, perfect for a good start to the day.

Very neat and clean . They are almost always packed with guests yet, you do not feel any difference. The rooms are not sound proof but over All the ambience, Staff, location everything was great !!!!
They have all required facilities in house and there is a restaurant right below also a grocery store just a few steps away. The location is perfect

Nice, Neat and Clean place to stay if you are a solo travelers.
Near to bus stop and also near to shopping mall.
Next building you can find groceries store in case you missed to bring any stuff for your trip.
Breakfast was awesome and it was complimentary

I liked this hostel a lot, I even came back for a second stay after heading off to Astana and other places. It's not in a place with any landmarks, but that didn't worry me, because everything else I like to be close to is nearby. The metro station is almost underneath the hostel, and the #19 bus to the bus terminal goes past. There are so many cafes and restaurants to walk to - I really liked Seventy, there are two branches within five minutes, and there is a Hopers Craft Beer bar just up the street.

The beds were very comfortable, although a bit warm with the door closed. The rooms have plenty if space, and there's a small table and chairs, if you need a desk. They provide tea, coffee and vouchers for breakfast downstairs in the restaurant. I must confess, I didn't like the breakfast - everything was cold.

They let you use their laundry for free, but it is slow and they might take your clothes out of they need the machines. There was one problem - the bedroom doors use a thumb recognition system, but it's not very reliable - it didn't recognise me on my second night there, but it did recognise me when I came back. I was away for 10 days - they stored my bag for me. Great service. Can get pricey when it fills up.

Good place to stay and bo worries about the basic needs.
Washing machine, microwave, kettle and crockery set available 👍
Breakfast included. Safety and security wise good 👍
