Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a good view over the city and mountains, though the rooms are quite basic with only single beds. The service was fantastic, despite some staff being undertrained in people skills. The location is excellent, near Dostyk Mall and numerous restaurants. The dining options are quite limited, especially for vegetarians.
The hotel rooms may be small but are clean, cozy, and offer stunning views of Almaty. The beds are incredibly comfortable, and the air conditioning works excellently. However, there can be a lack of ongoing maintenance. The location is excellent for exploring the city center and enjoying nearby attractions, though the staff's people skills may need improvement. The dining experience offers a varied selection of foods, but some aspects like highchairs are missing. Overall, the hotel provides a good value for the money with friendly service.
The hotel is situated in a prime location next to the Cable Car for Kok Tobe with easy access to Panfilovskiy Park, the Opera House, and the Independence Monument. It is surrounded by various dining options and shops, offering a great view over the mountain and courteous staff. The rooms are small but cozy, featuring an incredibly comfortable bed and a lovely view of Almaty, but there was a minor delay during check-in. The dining experience is highlighted by a fantastic buffet, although highchairs were lacking. The service is a mix of great hospitality, with standout staff like Ariel, but some staff members lack proper training in tourism.
The hotel offers a mixed experience with cozy rooms but varying sizes and temperatures. The service is exceptional, especially from Karlygash at the reception, yet there is an option for more economical accommodations at the same address. The location is convenient for exploring the area, with easy access to the metro station and skiing facilities nearby. The dining options are decent but not extraordinary.
I absolutely loved the cozy room with its incredibly comfortable bed and beautiful view of Almaty, but the noise from the Karaoke above was a major downside. The hotel's location was perfect for exploring Almaty, with excellent restaurants nearby. The dining options were fairly okay, but not outstanding.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room I stayed in was on the 19th floor and offered impressive views of the mountain, but it was a bit dated and varied in size. The service was friendly and helpful, though some staff members seemed miserable. The location was gorgeous, right in the center of Almaty, with plenty of nearby restaurants and cafes. The dining experience left much to be desired with very cold and poor quality options, despite some spectacular dishes. Overall, the hotel provided a decent stay with room for improvement.
The hotel offers marvelous panoramic views of the mountains, but the rooms are a bit worn out and could be noisy due to the karaoke party bar on the top floor that can go on until 5 am. However, opening the window for a pleasant sleep is an option.
I had requested a room facing Kok Tobe hill, and luckily enough, the hotel accommodated my preference. The room felt more like a 3-star quality at best. The service during my 2-day stay was excellent and incredibly helpful, with staff having good English skills. The central location near discos and restaurants made it convenient and exciting.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. While the rooms needed a good refurbishment due to a double booking issue and a bit of a smelly atmosphere with no plug for electricity in the bathroom, the proximity of the rooms made it convenient for socializing. The location, however, was top-notch for my preferences, being within walking distance of various attractions and key facilities. The service, especially from Ariel, stood out as exceptional despite a few slow moments. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with breakfast being average at best. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
