The Time Capsule Hotel😍
The hotel was pretty amazing experience to have in Almaty as I’ve been told that its one of the oldest hotels their and its like a time capsule😍 the view are wonderful no matter which side or floor you are at! The hotel have 24/7 restaurant (Noodles) and its yummy as well as they have 24/7 mini market inside the hotel and a coffee shop. If I'm visiting Almaty again, definitely will be staying at Kazakhstan Hotel again.

The hotel is a bit old and worn out, the room is pretty small, but the views on the higher floors are amazing, the location is good and breakfast is superb. But the personnel is ok, couldn't find a luggage trolley and weren't really friendly.

Extremely helpful staff. I had no problems communicating regardless of spending neither Kazakh nor Russian. The room was a little old, and the tv was not compatible with internet. There was no fridge in the room either. Aside from that everything was great. Breakfast was nice. The hotel is close to bunch of resorts and there’s a nice park right outside.

This hotel has an ideal location. You can walk to many attractions. also metro and bus stop near the hotel. The hotel staff are wonderful, very helpful and kind. The breakfast is delicious. The lobby and reception area are a bit dusty. Also don't use the shop and currency exchange at the hotel because the price is too high there. my room did not match the photo on the site. the furniture is old and chipped. big TV from the 90s. In general, the feeling of the room is like returning to the USSR

Location of hotel was excellent, walking distance to most tourist attractions. I didn’t like my room, had an old CRT tv with poor satellite reception. If you want a good sleep, I recommend choosing the city view. The mountain view has a nightclub on ground level which plays music every night.

Breakfast is amazing. But the head of staff is always pushing his cart to the coffee/tea station. Hitting me or blocking my way. He is Turkish and cares only about Turkish guests! I paid for superior room. but got basic room instead. Stayed 23 nights and asked the reception director(Ameli) to upgrade my room. She made me sit in front of reception for 3 hours for 3 consecutive days while she kept saying 5 minutes. She had no respect for foreigners. Expedia should be notified that all the Kazakhstanis had the superior(Lux) rooms. She kept showing me downgraded rooms, instead of upgrading. Never again. They owe me money for wasting 3 days of my cherished vaccation! waiting for her to talk to me. She thinks her time is more important than the foreign clients! I think the Turkish owners hired her for her looks & nothing else. She is so rude and think that she is superior!

Good location, nice hotel.
Perfectly austere Soviet building, yet very well kept. Amazingly powerful shower, good quality bed. Tried to charge me for things from the minibar which hadn't been used, and the breakfast is not something to write home about. But I would stay again as it was fair value for money with a breathtaking view. Needs a bit of maintenance,

DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL...go to Renion Park hotel!!
Horrible!!! Booked two single beds only to find out none available and had to sleep on a cot...unacceptable! Service at front desk was nothing short of abysmal. Everything was old and run done. We had laundry done and then they came up and insisted to be paid immediately instead on the room account??? Why??? Breakfast was line up hell as 7 people are waiting for the only coffee machine that makes half a cup very 3 minutes. So of course people are getting two cups. Food that is cover and should be hot are not. Omelet was there only saving grace in consistently good though a nice variety of veggies and breads and jams.

Overall the hotel is located in a very nice place, with great view. However, I was on a business trip, and I had to stay my last night somewhere where they provide registration for foreigners. I called the hotel during the day, and the manager told me that they provide that registration. When I arrived and checked in, the receptionist knew about me so I left all my documents. In the morning when I came to checkout the registration was not ready, and manager was not picking her phone. I was lucky that it was a state holiday a day before, so when I was passing the border control the officer said that if it wouldn't be for that state holiday, I will be in a big trouble. I wish people will underpromise and overdeliver.
