Kazakhstan has a scarcity of good hotels, and I even had clothes stolen during my trip. However, this hostel was excellent and very satisfying! It's especially recommended for Chinese travelers entering Kazakhstan by land and arriving at the SAYRAN passenger terminal.

Location is close to Sayran bus station. Within walking distance. I stay in the 8 beds female dorm and doesn't felt cramp. The locker is huge and outside of the room. The share toilet and bathroom are clean. If you want to buy the bus card (only can pay with this now if taking bus) you can buy it at the Karavan(basically is a kiosk) right in front of the sayran bus station. The kiosk not open till late. It cost Tenge 800 with free one ride.

This hostel must be quite famous in Almaty. The environment is super clean, and everyone is very kind. The common areas are also spotless. Overall, it's just like a student dorm, which is great. I only stayed one night, but I had a very good experience.

This place is great! It was my first time staying in a youth hostel, and since I was on a solo trip, I never expected to meet so many people from all over the world in the lobby. We chatted late into the night, I didn't even want to sleep – everyone had such interesting stories. The hostel itself is also very good, clean, and you can make your own bed with fresh sheets. Plus, there's free water and tea bags. It's really good, really good! If I come to Almaty again, I'd definitely choose to stay here because staying in a hostel lets you meet all sorts of people.

This hostel is super close to the international bus station, which makes check-in really convenient. The rooms are very clean, and there's a communal kitchen available. The front desk staff are also very friendly and accommodating. At just 70 per night, it's incredibly budget-friendly for Almaty. I highly recommend this hostel to all my fellow travelers heading abroad!

The environment was incredibly noisy. Even with the door closed in my private room, the soundproofing was practically nonexistent. I barely slept for two nights, what more can I say? The cleanliness was okay, nothing special.
