Alma

🏞️ Overall good experience at Alma Hotel. Excellent location and wonderful views! Strongly recommend this part of Almaty to stay in, near Kok Tobe Góndola station, Abay square, Hotel Kazakhstan and lots of restaurants! 📧 Email contact was in Russian but once there the members of staff do speak English. They offered airport transfer, which was a convenient option and the driver waited patiently for me despite flight being delayed by over 40 minutes. Staff are not overly friendly but cordial enough. My room was small but fine, strong air con. Breakfast was upstairs at the Ribs restaurant with amazing views. Not bad selection but the views were the highlight 🏞️

I like this place, and it's my second visit to Alma. 'cause of location: if I need to visit Almaty Center (esp. Golden Square), I find this place quite good to stay for a weekend or saturday night. And yeah: breakfasts are on the 5th floor again! See photos.

I found the location ideal, just behind the Republic Palace concert hall and close to Kok Tobe gondola. Very peaceful street for sleeping even with the window open as I prefer. Comfortable bed, good wi-fi, well-stocked minibar. Top floor has a casual restaurant for drinks/dinner (nice for groups or solo) and breakfast in the morning with views all around. Very good value. Totally recommend it for tourists.

Location and great reception staff, very kind

Location is perfect Breakfast was not bad
