Initially I thougt it was a bit out of the centre but I discovered that in my opinion somewhere away from the centre has more of a neighbourhood feel to it, so I could wander out to get something to eat, or find a hop, whereas in the centre of Almaty distances seems much greater. Buses into the centre (a km or two) were very easy and very frequent.

They were very nice but didn't speak any English

Amazing hostel! Great location, very well equipped rooms and bathrooms and the staff is absolutely the best. We felt welcomed all the time and everything was spotless, regardless the shared bathrooms. The bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever had in a hostel

No air conditioners

Hot Warm rooms

Cheap private room. Simple but enough for one night. The staff was nice.

The location is a bit remote from the center but close to the bus station which was important for me.

The location is not too far away from the bus terminal

There is No common seating area. The kitchen has a microwave oven only and lack of utensils so that cooking is impossible.

good, helpful administrators

very noisy from adjacent streets

Conveniently located, walking distance to bus station, big supermarket and also food eateries. At low cost, you have your own room.

The room only has a bed, not even a single table to place your stuff...
