The owner was very lovely and welcoming. The room was clean. Unfortunately, we arrived late and didn't get to take any photos of the surroundings. We left early in the morning to rush to Big Almaty. We didn't have breakfast, but the guest house was very nice and prepared a box of food for us instead. Very lovely!

Located in the foothills of Southern Almaty, Hotel Discovery is a great family-run hotel for exploring the mountains, canyons, and lakes. Breakfast is served on-site, and more restaurants are just a 15-minute walk down Dulati Prospect. On-site parking is available for guests.
The hosts, Dina and Murat, are incredibly kind and helpful. They do everything they can to make you feel at home and offer great advice on local tourist routes.

The room was clean and newly renovated. The breakfast was prepared by the owner of the B&B. The couple was really patient in helping customers raise questions.

The host is very nice! He is very enthusiastic to help us solve the problem! The environment is also very good, like a resort. I will come again next time.

In the case of generally expensive and low cost-effective hotels in Almaty, this is a very cost-effective homestay!
The mountain is a wealthy area, and the air is good.
The boss and his wife are very polite, and the breakfast is freshly made and prepared very considerately.
After a tiring day at work, it is very comfortable to come back and sit in the yard to relax.
I took a few photos of the dining area!

The room is clean, sanitary and comfortable, the environment is elegant and quiet, the service is warm and thoughtful, but the location is a bit remote, so you need a car or local taxi app.

The house is comfortable ,quiet and clean. The landlord is a couple. They're very nice. The environment is well-arranged. Especially the kitchen. And the little yard at the door, it's beautiful.

Dinar & Murat will welcome you with a big smile.
It's a great place to discover the city and surroundings from here as a comfortable taxi will not cost you more then €5,-.

The benefit to stay here is the fresh air, the quietness and the great nights of sleep.
