hello. I was in the hostel for 2 months. It is very cozy and comfortable here. The managers are Saul and Kasim who are very nice. If you have any questions or problems you can contact them and they will always be there to help. The hostel is cleaned daily and there are no cockroaches or bedbugs. The only downside is that there is no air conditioning in the bedroom. I can give it 9 out of 10
I lived in this wonderful place for about 2 months, I will definitely return there because it is clean, orderly and disciplined! And they also value their residents!
Very spacious hostel, well received. You can turn to the Administration for help and they will never refuse. I lived in the hostel for several months and was generally satisfied. 4.5 out of 5.
Used more as short term housing for local workers and Russians escaping the war rather than a travelers hostel. Not many backpackers come here.
Hostel is very clean however the shower head in the womens restrooom was broken. There is a rotating staff that speak mostly Russian and Kazakh.
I do not recommend for female solo travelers but otherwise, this is a great no-frills hostel if you only need...
We had a great hostel experience at Dostyk Khostel. Gulnaz, who speaks really well English, took the time to show us the different rooms and bathrooms available for the guest as well as the well equipped kitchen. It is clean, welcoming and friendly place. It is also well located nearby restaurants, groceries stores. Would definitely recommend it!
Rooms were good quality and clean, the owner speaking no english wasn't ideal. Additionally for some reason she was convinced we arrived a day before we good and insisted we pay for an extra night, despite trying to explain we were in a different continent on the night she claimed we stayed! Took about 30-45 mins to sort this dispute out, and other people staying there said she did the same thing to...
Great location, the beds are decent, fully stocked kitchen! My stay there was decent. Would I stay again? I’m on the fence.
The biggest challenge is the noise, lack of bathrooms, and the late night entries. The doors to the dorms are mostly glass so you can hear tons of noise from the lobby especially early morning. Also there’s a dog that starts barking next to the window around 6-7am lol. Even with...
Everything you need for an hostel. And a spacious living room
Nice hostel with very helpful reception, clean rooms and bathrooms.
Almaty, Tattimbet Street 400A, 050020 Almaty, Kazakhstan 🧭 Map
Awesome place. Incredibly clean and very very helpful English speaking staff. It's also very good located, close to Medeu and Kok Tobe, 2 of the must see places around the city.
The hostel has great potential! It’s well situated if you want to go hiking or skiing. It’s clean and everything is nice and new. But the staff are a big let down - there’s not much of a friendly, hospitable atmosphere. And most importantly our room had been double booked so we weren’t able to stay in the twin we booked - things like this happen, but the situation could have been handled better (an...
The hostel itself in in cood condition, new bed, nice and clean bathrooms. But only one toilet per floor, what can be a bit annoying. The location if the hostel is at the edge of the city and you will need a taxi to go to the city itself (almost 1 hour walking). The only thing to query is that the manager is lazy and sometimes quite annoying (most likely not in bad intensions, but still annoying).
Great place, very clean, away from bustling city and on the way to the mountains. Great view to the mountains from the 3rd floor. BUT, be aware of your belongings, somebody has stolen all my money from the wallet about 13 thousand tenge and no help from owners, very unfriendly. Refused to watch footage as anybody can enter the room though it happened in a very short period of time, only two people...
Very friendly hosts, comfortable beds and a lovely breakfast is all included in the lowest orice you can find in the city.
I really liked my stay in this hostel. Quiet and friendly enviroment. Staff very kind and helpful.Only negative point the position
Such a beautiful time I spent with them. The manager Rosy is wonderful. She is very caring and helpful.
Very nice owners, spacious room, ample bathrooms, everything is very clean, free use of washing machine, nice common area & kitchen. In a good area of Almaty near local bus to center. KokTobe park is within 9km of the hostel.
Would return again. Great price for Almaty.

I enjoyed my time there. People whose work there are very friendly and helpful. The location Is 9 mins from the city centre. The price is very good compared to other places. Hope to visit them again in future.
Excellent place to stay in Astana.
In a strange but useful borough of Astana there is this very beatiful Hostel! The capsule accomodation was very clear and the service works very good!
Beautiful capsule hotel. There are also different styles of private rooms available. The staff that works here is Kazakh, so you get Kazakh hospitality. Laundry room and extra storage for guests to use. A full kitchen as well.
Small and friendly hostel with great staff and a relaxed family feel. Super clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend this place if you're travelling through the city for a few days.

The hostel at the new address on Karmysova 82, Parasat Hostel Kazakhstan is very well located for tourists, everything is nearby, the cable car on Koktyub, buses to Medeo and Shymbulak, most importantly the beds are very large and comfortable. Fresh air, a river flows in front of the house, a quiet place, guest parking. Beautiful view of the hotel Kazakhstan
Everything is huge and cozy.
Don't have A/C but don't need.
And every staff and host are so kind.
Everything is good. Just try.
Awesome place. Lovely staff. Great price. Fully functional kitchen. Very comfy beds. Great location
Clean and good comfort-to-price ratio. Host speaks english so it's easy for non-russian speakers
Very comfortable and cozy. The administrator is just handsome.👍👍👍
I really liked the hostel. Everything is clean and most importantly comfortable. The food is also delicious and there is a lot of variety. Very polite staff. I give it 10/10
Many local people stay here. There is reason If local choose something. Local known what is best
Good service, friendly people and staff!
Great location. Great service. The rooms are clean and warm. True, not the cheapest price in the city. I chalked it up to the location. Overall I was satisfied. I'll probably be back again.
Good location, friendly service... Located near road and karaoke(very noisy), awful pillows😔😔 nice beer garden. I believe that it's possible to find better place for that price!

It was great to stay here. It's clean and very silent. People are friendly only when you speak kazakh/russian. Food was good. Vegetarian options were available too. The best thing about the hostel was the availability of food, coffee, and tea all the time in the kitchen. You eat what you want to, clean the utensils (yes, you have to clean your own utensils) and you are done! The dorm room felt a little...
Clean , friendly , all women , great location with many food options and supermarket ms nearby
This is a such lovely hostel, very friendly and service oriented personnel, clean facilities and really good breakfast. Today we got pancakes, omelette, cottage cheese, porridge, apples and salad.
This is probably the best hostel that a solo woman can book. It's a very safe space and spotless. The capsules give you privacy and your own space and the lockers are big. There are 4 toilets and 4 showers. I feel like there can be more toilets but I've never had to wait either.
The breakfast is scrumptious and lavish. Loads to eat and it's very healthy and tasty. Location is good too, there's a bus...
I just spent three nights here while I was exploring Almaty city. I booked a private room, the room has no aircon but no issue at night as it’s pretty cooling. Hostel encourages quiet mode and I enjoyed the vibe. Felt safe and slept soundly while I was here. Breakfast is served daily with different varieties. Value for money and strongly Recommend to solo female travellers. :)
Great nights sleep - even if a lot of people sleep in the same room it's all made to be able to relax, including encouragement to stay quiet at all times. Great breakfast and snacks available. Decent location. Lovely staff
The accommodation is good, easy to get around, and convenient. There's a mini-mart nearby. The location is great for going for walks. The accommodation is decorated in a unique style.
Warm place. Shower quality needs to improve tho
The location is very good, very close to the cathedral, and around 15 mins walk to a metro station. Close to restaurants and shops. But many things need to be improved or replaced. The mattresses are so worn out, the pillow is so hard and rough to sleep on. And we have to make our own bed. The door locks are quite broken. There are a total of 3 showers for the whole hostel, when it's not busy it's...
There was someone to help with check-in in the evening. The location was great, next to a McDonald's, 3 minutes to the cathedral, and 10 minutes to the Green Bazaar. It was convenient to get around. There was a cat there, and it was very friendly.
The staff was friendly.
The room was a little shabby, but it was fine if you didn't mind.
The location was great.
The hostel's location was excellent.
Panfilov Park, Zenkov Cathedral, and Arbat Park(?) were right nearby.
However, the facilities were a bit lacking.
Cleanliness needs to be improved.
Everything would be great if it weren't for the INTERNET!!!!! They have 2 barely working/not working Wi-Fi... And the mobile Internet reception is very bad in the building. If you are staying for a couple of days or don't work online, this probably won't be a problem for you. But I came for a couple of weeks and worked online. Every call dropped... I had to reconnect for half an hour... Go outside...
I like it very much. The location of this place is very good. Public transportation is just outside. It is very convenient to go to several core attractions. You can go to the National Museum and the Peak Cable Car Station on foot. There is a shopping mall diagonally opposite to the left. It has similar functions to Wanda. You can withdraw money for meals. Inside There is Xiaomi Honor Haier Tebu.....
Highly recommended.
Pro:
Location:
- Central location near the botanical garden, southern end of the inner city
- not directly at the road
- several bus stops nearby
- lots of small stores nearby
Apartment:
- cozy but fully equipped
- one big room, separate bathroom, kitchen with good quality cutlery
- A/C
- Wifi (somewhat slow at times)
- very clean, cleaning is also done with high quality during...
Evergreen Apart is really one of the best choices to stay when attending an event in Atakent Expo. Rooms are clean and everyone in the receiption are very friendly, l they know how to speak in English very well. The apartment is near Atakent Mall, restaurants like Mcdonald’s and cafe like Starbucks.
1) It has everything you need especially if you are staying
for more than 2 days. Washing machine, plates, etc. are
present.
2) The staff were friendly and available 24/7.
3) They have an option to stay earlier at a very reasonable
rate.
4) You can use their lounge to keep your luggage or just
stay there while waiting for your flight.
5) Close to public transportation.
What a good hostel. Check-in can be done even after midnight, staff are very polite and helpful. The rooms are so comfortable and clean and the beds have curtains. They have spacious rooms with only 4 beds which I prefer. Bathrooms are VERY CLEAN for hostel standards.
I extended my stay for multiple days given how good it is.
Moved from another hostel D*. Am glad that I made the decision. The roommates are respectful of your area. The shower rooms and toilets are super clean - they have someone to clean the hostel daily. The bed is super comfortable and you have your own charging point, lamp, and a curtain for privacy. The locker is big to fit a backpack, and comes with a digital lock. Love the atmosphere there, especially...
In my opinion Soul Hostel Westpoint is the most comfortable hostel for distance learning.
The staff at this hostel is really good, friendly and always wants to help you, and the hostel itself is also a good one. But, a few not-so-good things though were that the showers often were cold, the wifi didn't work for most of our stay and the beds I got (switched rooms) were incredibly uncomfortable. Kitchen could also need a bit more stuff, like new frying pans/casseroles/knives etc.
Unique and incredible hostel - the care and love the welcoming hosts put into it is instantly evident - a home away from home.
Really great hostel! Location is good (metro station is near and also supermarket is just across the street). It's new and very clean, but the best part is awesome and very helpful staff!
In kazachstan perfect hostel , perfect people , market opposit door, somewhere here is pool and sauna , hostel is clean and is full of colours :)
I’ve been pleasantly surprised to find out that the hostel is brand new. All the basics are great ( super clean, quiet, new furniture, english speaking , fast replying etc.. ) literally most of the things were on point. But what clicked with me the most is that just nearby the hostel you have everything you need, starting with a super market to a non-stop restaurant ( super good food plus a discount...
My mother is 86 years old and has serious memory problems, but she had to go for a visa. Mom wanted to see her grandchildren in America. They could not find an accompanying person. As a result, my mother decided to go alone. I found the Americana hostel, and in the end we were very pleased. The hosts are very responsible and friendly. Both flights were overnight, but they met my mother at the airport...
The rooms are clean, there are amenities both in the rooms and in the common corridors. There is a large kitchen-hall. The most valuable thing in this place is the hostess. Very responsible and responsive!
Hostel Americana, located behind the U.S. Embassy, is very affordable and comfortable. The dormitory room is spacious and clean, and the shower and toilet are conveniently located inside the room. The staff are very friendly and very nice. Be sure to use it when traveling to Astana.
Cozy hotel, everything is good, the only bad thing is that the bathroom and toilet are together. The people are friendly, everything is clean and tidy, there is internet, it is located in the center of the new city, next to the American embassy, there is a store nearby and a supermarket is not far away. Great hostel! Thank you!
What a lovely lady Lianna is. We arrived at late night at her place and there was a last minute requirement from our side which very well she managed and supported us throughout.
Will surely recommend stay at Hostel Viator.
Lianna is a legend. Amazing place to stay. Very quiet. Super clean. Very well equipped. Lianna is very very helpful and kind and genuinely full of sweet hospitality. The location was fantastic ..a short walk to the main street. The kitchen is totally equipped. Would recommend to everyone
Very comfortable bedrooms and clean bathrooms. The host is very welcoming and gave great recommendations for restaurants in the neighbourhood. The location is a bit less central but still walkable from the city center, so we didn’t mind.
We stayed four days in this amazing hostel and we had an amazing stay.
Why we like it so much:
1) rooms are big, comfortable and super clean
2) toilets were clean
3) location
4) It has a kitchen fully equipped to cook
4) and the most important one, we were amazed by the owner’s hospitality. She was trying to find all the possible ways to help us. She was very patient with us. She gave us watermelon...
Ideal homestay in Almaty. If you are looking for price/quality, Hostel Viator is an excellent choice. Very friendly hostess. We slept in a private room with two beds. Beds are great. If you want, she makes breakfast for you.There is also the possibility to wash your clothes. Wifi is great. All facilities you need, these are all shared, are present: kitchen, bathroom + 2 separate showers and two separate...
Fantastic location overlooking Almaty. Lots of space, horses and fun things for kids
Nice place, nice people and a lot of knowledge. It's a good place to meet horses and pleasures.
Very unique and enjoyable experience for me sonce I hadn’t had chance to see horses this close in my life. It would have been better if I could understand Russian or there’s a translation service. It’s a shame that I couldn’t able to having a full time tour because of my limited time. I heard you are given a chance to ride a horse!
I recommend it for family who have young kids.
Truly breathtaking. I fell in love with all of the horses and all of the other animals! Thank you!👌🏻
Very comfortable place for relax. Trainings with horses.
