Hostels in Kazakhstan

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

I stayed at the hostel for a total of 7 nights. The hostel is really nice and the rooms are quite clean and spacious. The washrooms are clean and dry all the time. My experience with the staff was also nice. The only thing that bugged me during my stay were the people. I myself am an Indian, so there is no question of racisim when I outlay this. There was specifically this person. I donot know his...

Location is very convinent. Receptionist is really helpful. Stayed there 8 days, it's neat and clean located at riverside and walking distance for few of attractions. Easy way to go Green Bazar , Cathedral church, Arbat street by bus. Overall experience is very good for solo.

Dormitory rooms in the basement didn't have a privacy curtain. The bed mattress was comfortable though. Toilets and shower rooms were quite clean. Kitchen is also available and the common area is quite small. They have a lovely cat here. Location is the best!

Good value for money. Could use a privacy curtain. Floors are clean, bed is comfortable. Toilet is decent. Some of the guests seem to be staying long term, and one guy in the picture was stealing money from the tip jar. Watch out since he’s staying in the dorm and looks like long term, he could be stealing from other guests too, this has been raised to the hostel.

One of the best hostel ive ever staying in central Asia. The room are nice and clean, also the bathroom quite spacious. I recommend for the sharing / bunk bed because super comfy and worth the price. I was staying there for a few days combine sharing room and private room, but for private room to be honest quite expensive with no ammenities and just sharing bathroom. *You can drop your luggage if...

Great place for both solo travellers and groups. Amazing location and community. Lots of space outside to chill, amazing cats and the river just opposite the house. Service is good, but remember that they accept only KZT.

Decent Beds, attentive staff, available kitchen, alright location, good pricing. Rooms can get a little stuffy because of no fans or aircon. And I've seen lockers although not sure if they are available to everyone. Overall for the price, location and amenities it's a great find

Amigo Hostel is great value for money and probably the cheapest hostel in Almaty. The staff are friendly, helpful, and professional. The shared bathrooms and toilets are clean. My husband and I shared a large private room with a big window (price: Tenge 3100, $10). The internet was fast and worked well in the room--no problem streaming videos. The kitchen facilities are basic but clean. The only disadvantage...

Really couldn't ask for much more. Location is the best, in the center of Almaty city! Close by every hot spot of the city and subway station .I was grateful to be able to leave my belongings in the hostel the day I was taking the train to my next destination. The free internet a very helpful asset. Clean showers, clean toilets. Staff was really helpful and kind, reception is 24/7.

Staff, location, price and facilities are top. Guests are more younger (Party people) folks. Expect smoking indoors and loud noises till early morning. When we went there, there even was a crew of russian strippers. Awkward.

Perfect! The hostel is easy to find. Rooms and toilets are clean, the reception girl is so warm hearted and helped a lot during my stay, all workers of hostel are like families. It feels like to be at home when I was there. The experience is wonderful. Strongly recommened.

Gorgeous hostel. Came from Irkutsk, spent the night for two days. All liked it! And the city is beautiful! I recommend!

Cool budget hostel! There is everything you need - and most importantly, clean and comfortable! The location is convenient, there are beautiful places and huge trading houses nearby. Recommend)

Food at C grade is generally normal, a large room is definitely a plus, separate areas for boarding are lame.

Comfortable, cozy, clean. There were everyday problems like a creak from the ceiling, the distant sounds of the TV, I was a little cold (they gave me a blanket), but I was tired like a dog, so I slept like a horse))) I advise everyone who is looking for an overnight stay!!!

5- Great hostel: staff, atmosphere, cleanliness, internet, location. Minus put because of the price. It was possible to do 1500 per day. Not adequate neighbors on the entrance. And it's a great place to spend the night. And then stay for 2-3 days! I advise everyone.

Great place, although a little noisy, the private room was inexpensive, there was no such service in other places, it has its own parking. I recommend it.

We will come here again and again! We were there for 2 days and it wasn’t enough for us. The hostel is very cozy and clean. There is everything your soul desires. Located in the city center. Near Arbat, where you can walk all night, there are a lot of coffee shops, cafes, and doner shops. There is a shop right on the 1st floor of the hostel. And considering the price and everything that is there, you...

A little noisy, the yard is clean, the entrances are good

Nice hostel. We need to rename it to a hotel

I just live here and everything suits me

Not Good Too Much ,, Facilities are not available

Nice hostel, located in a quiet area of ​​Almaty. In fact, what can be said about hostels if people come there exclusively to spend the night. Perhaps the kind and helpful staff. I booked through booking, the reservation is free. I ordered a room for two, it is a room with 1 double bed, there is a TV. There is a separate kitchen where you can prepare meals; there were few residents during our stay
