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!

Visible from the windows of the house in which I live! I was not in it, but I was, not once, next to a cafe and Sberbank. The very center of the left bank! Everything is nearby. Knowing the competition in this market segment, I can say with confidence that everything is on the level there! This is confirmed by young people who are constantly entering and leaving the hostel, and the price is very affordable...
We booked a room for 1 day. We arrived in the evening. We were greeted by very welcoming and friendly people, the administration of the Hostel. They offered coffee, tea and a cozy room. Very clean. Shower and toilet are common, but also very clean. In the morning fed breakfast. I liked everything very much! We recommend the Hostel to everyone! All this at very affordable prices!
Great quiet, calm hostel. The warm hostess. Clean and comfortable. Excellent cuisine with everything you need. Good location.
We really liked the hostel. Service 👍👍 Centrally located. In which direction you can move freely. Everything has been done. Many thanks to the hostel managers. As for Astana, we now know where we will stop.
Clean rooms but I the lady at the desk didn't pay much attention to the guests. Hotel rules are quite ridiculous - doors close at 11p.m. + showers are free only for a couple of hours. Also I'm disappointed they didn't take a photo of our group :-((
Clean and cozy hostel in a walking distance to shops and cafes. Really enjoyed staying there.
Great location and very helpfull staff. Very clean place. I absolutelly recommend it. Thank You.
Very friendly and helpful staff, everything is clean and well maintained, no noise, good Wi-Fi.
Hello from Issik-Kul. I like to be in Hello Hostel. It's my favourite hostel. I feel myself here like at home. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Friendly staff. Everything is great!

I really liked the hostel. Very clean, comfortable.
Good hostel, clean and comfortable.
Wonderful hotel, chic interior, cleanliness and comfort. Full set of equipment for living, including the Internet, oven, barbecue, iron, relaxation room and even a gym. Bed linen of excellent quality is changed regularly, very strong comfortable beds, complete silence for sleeping. Special thanks to the administrator Dmitry for monitoring the cleanliness and order in the hostel, a good, responsive...
good value for money while staying in astana. walking distance to bayterek and almost all other places. i walked to bayterek to opera and shan katyr, but of course i took taxi back for 400 tenge which is just more than a dollar only.
Friendly staff during the day. The residents are questionable. Several rude men attempted entry of the ladies' room. Also saw men in the common areas in nothing but their underwear. There is also harassing of a female traveler every time she is on her way to the toilet or shower.
The rooms are absolutely ok, beds comfortable, a wardrobe, fan... Wi-fi working well. Toilet is only one for the whole apartment, but it wasn't a problem during our stay. Two showers. Kitchen with all equipment and hot drinking water. All clean.
When somebody is speaking in the kitchen, you can hear it very clearly in your room (even though our room wasn't next to the kitchen), so it was a bit disturbing...
At the beginning we were about to put 5 starts, the hostel it’s cosy, clean and the family it’s really nice…but during the first night he had water dripping from the walls and we couldn’t sleep that’s wasn’t their fault but im talking about our experience.
And also I put another less start because the day we left the housekeeper it was really rude rushing all the time, taking our sheets and towels...
It's 5 to 10 minutes walking distance to any bus station. Near to any grocery store and I did walked twice from the hostel to the center even if it is snowing as I wanted to see the place. It will take you more or less 20 minutes walking. The owner is very kind and response to my chat, whatsapp, message anytime of the day. So this is really a nice hostel.
Very comfortable rooms, spacious hall and clean bathrooms. Wifi signal is good. But what is the best about the hostel are its hosts! They are lovely people! It's really a FAMILY hostel. Additionally the lady speaks English so it's easy to communicate. The hosts have also a beautiful cat :)
Totally recommend it.
I'll leave a review. I’ll become the kind of person who’s not too lazy to make things like videos for YouTube and when you watch them you say thank you bro. Now I’ll be able to change the low beam light bulb. I liked the hostel. Clean, cozy, homely. Administrator Zhanat fire. He knows a lot about housekeeping. Twice wet cleaning of the hostel, I have never seen anything like this anywhere, even if...
Good place for staying for one night or even for one month, staff is good and kind.
Great place, quiet, clean, inexpensive, cozy, the administrator is very nice, friendly, attentive to all guests, thank you
Reasonable hostel. Was offered a second night at double the rate. It's a little difficult to find. Very close to the tourist centers in the middle of Astana. It's also close to the main bus route that takes you to the airport.
Stayed here in January 2015. Excellent accommodation. I'm usually fairly observant (picky) and ALA Hostel ticks all the boxes.
It was great. Everyone working there was super friendly and helpful throughout the entire stay, but especially during our check out when we needed to find a cab to get back to the airport. Will definitely come back!
Pros:
- The location is in a quiet place in the area of private houses
- Location is convenient to reach any part of the city
- There are no problems to get to the hostel in summer.
- There is a common room for 2500, there is a 4-bed room for 3000
Minuses:
- the furniture is already outdated, it is impossible to sit on the sofa
- from entertainment only 2 CPs and a TV, and that which does not work...
The location is very convenient - on the Left Bank. At the same time, the hostel is located in a separate building with its janitor and benches in the private sector of the prestigious Chubara district. Large kitchen, high-quality dishes, very high-quality European household appliances, good quality bed linen and towels, tea, coffee and cookies included. Everyday room cleaning creates a very clean...
Very nice place in a good location and friendly staff. Everything you can expect with this price.
Place absolutely recommendable! If I had to indicate a model hostel, it will definitely be this object. Service fantastic, helpful, polite and nice in conversation. Cleanliness at the highest level, great organization in fact a small space, and access to all services, such as laundry, ironing, hair dryer, or a very well-equipped kitchen. Breakfast (additionally payable) was tasty and prepared on a...
Carefully monitor the cleanliness, friendly staff, cookies, snacks, tea for free. Comfortable beds, showers. Center, all within walking distance. Shopping center, circus, aquarium, a huge park. Definitely advise. There is a nice courtyard.
Bereke Hostel offers accommodation in Shymkent. Among the facilities at this property are a 24-hour front desk and a shared kitchen, along with free WiFi throughout the property.
Were in this hostel last week. Everything is simple and cozy. Cleaning is done every day. We liked it, and the residents themselves are positive and not noisy. It is impossible to drink and smoke indoors, which is a big +. Because I would not want to live next to drunken guests.
This hotel is very affordable and so close to downtown... I think is the cheapest in the area too plus the food and service there is good the managers are really nice and helpful .. I enjoyed staying there I would come back again and taste that breakfast and spend the good time with the homies.
We have been staying in this hostel for 8 days in bedroom for two persons. We liked it close to downtown and around hostel everything you need, restaurant and big park. Very clean place, light, comfortable and else hostel manager speaking English and helped us with all information about Almaty and where to go to see beautiful places. We enjoyed Almaty and people there!
We stopped at the Harmony Hostel for three days, everything arranged for a low price. Very clean, comfortable and almost in the center of the city, we liked it very much that the attacker was two minutes away. The staff is responsive and you can order food home cooking. Bathrooms for men and women separately.
Kind and helpful staff, and they speak English. Clean, good and big kitchen. Overall clean. Quiet and safe location. Walking distance to main attraction in central area. Price is also convenient.
Great hostel in a very quiet location! As soon as you step off the property you can see the mountains that surround Almaty. Friendly staff and property was clean! Located near some local grocery store in a fantastic location! Check this place out.
I had wonderful experience. I really recommend this place. I also met other tourists from Egypt, Nigeria, Russia and Kazakhstan. They also told me about their best experience here. The hosts were nice, helpful and kind. Thanks for making my stay awesome here.
Best regards,

I spent a couple of nights there in November, middle of the winter in Almaty, pouring rain all day and the house really felt like a hug, warm, comfortable, well kept, cosy, clean. A lovely woman runs the place, very helpful and welcoming. The beds and bed linen are of excellent quality unlike most hostels in Central Asia. The house is so well heated, I forgot about the miserable weather the second...
3/5
The exterior of the hostel looks nice and there is secure gate and ample parking for motorbikes, bicycles and cars. The location is also generally pleasant and is only 15 minutes walk from the cathedral and monument park. The kitchen was also comfortably sized and clean.
Honestly though. This is the most depressing hostel I've ever been too in my life. The curtains in the lobby are always closed...
I've never slept in a shared room before and couldn't have chosen a better place! The hostel itself is extremely clean (spotless! I was amazed!), safe and comfy. I loved the homely atmosphere and staff - Olga was exceptionally helpful and friendly :)
The main thing in a great hotel is cheap and tasty food
All liked it. Friendly and responsible hostess. She can order both a tour and a taxi at reasonable prices, suggest what you can visit in Turkestan.
The hostel has a shower, kitchen and separate dining room.
Very convenient location, to the Caravanserai on a quiet walk literally 10-15 minutes.
Nice guest house, 2 floors, 2 bathrooms, courtyard, summer kitchen, courtyard for cars.
For picky guests - everything is fine,
for those who are looking for every speck of dust, impatient of random cockroaches - perhaps they will not like something. But in the end, a good guest house, I recommend.
Location!!! It’s on perfect place. A walking distance from Mausoleum,restaurants and bus stop. The stuff was extremely nice and professional. Place itself was cozy and pretty cheap. Even got free breakfast :) I highly recommend this place!
Nice owner, rooms and bathroom are nice and clean, nice garden, good price. Mausoleum, shops, restaurants, bus stop (marshrutka No. 2 from railway station) in walking distance.

Visited April 2025
Shymbulak Resort is the perfect winter stay—cozy, stylish, and surrounded by amazing mountain views. The ski instructors were friendly and professional, and breakfast had a great variety with stunning views from the restaurant’s big windows.
We were especially happy to meet two of the friendliest hotel staff, Niyaz and Olzhas. Their warmth and kindness made us feel so comfortable...
We visited Shymbulak Resort in April 2024 and had an amazing experience. The scenery was stunning, and the whole atmosphere felt peaceful and refreshing.
The ski instructors were professional and friendly, making us feel safe and confident even as beginners. The resort staff were also incredibly kind and helpful—special thanks to Olzhas and Niyaz, who were especially warm and welcoming. Their hospitality...
1. Great view and nice room, but the shower in the room was in bad condition. The water came out so frustratingly.. +no warm water 🫠
2. Great service !
3. Nice location, but note that you can't take your rental car if it is not electric. Only electric bus, electric taxi can go.
Very nice hotel, comfortable bed, our room had a nice balcony with a view of the mountains. Hotel staffs are very responsive for any queries you may have. The guy at the reception was very nice and explained everything to us upon checkin and offered us discount vouchers for the ski pass. The hotel restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience with it's delicious food. The ski school is just next...
The location was amazing.
The people were really friendly, welcoming and accommodating. We were able to get an English speaking ski instructor ( from the ski school) who was very patient.
I would advise if you want an instructor to try book early because the skiing area does close at 5.
This place is so worth visiting
