Almaty Hostels

Everything about the hotel is perfect. My only suggestion is get a new hairdryer. The current one barely works. Breakfast was delish and reception kindly arranged transportation for me.

It's a very well know hotel with beautiful outlook. There's a grand ballroom on the Ground floor next to the entrance which could be rather noisy for guests even till 11pm. They at first tried to put me to a room on a floor under overhaul renovation which is dim and dirty with renovationn debris and tools everywhere (see pics posted). I refused and insisted to have a change. The changed one is much normal.

Отель Алматы У отеля есть большая парковка, расположен отель относительно близко к центру. Брала отель ради бассейна. Работали удалённо, по московскому времени, думала ходить плавать утром. Пришла, а он на ремонте. Воды нет, чистят. Снимали на 5 дней, его залили в поседений день и вода отстаивалась (не ходила проверять, так сказали). Если бы знала заранее - не бронировала бы. Тренажёрный зал в ужасном состоянии, маленький. Хороший хаммам и сауна. Полотенца просят брать свои из номера, хотя они есть в спа-зоне. Около отеля расположена бензоколонка. Сумасшедшие женщины кассиры круглосуточно в мегафон орут клиентам советы. Даже ночью! То, что они находятся под окнами жилого дома и отеля, их не смущает. В одну из ночей в соседний номер пришли девочки по вызову. Стучались к нам в номер в 3 часа ночи, потом со смехом ушли, что перепутали. Очень было весело им, видимо. Помимо шумного соседа в номере был постоянный шум в канализации, как будто насос работал. Завтраки хорошие, разнообразные, но не хватило десертов или булочек - все круассаны какие-то залежалые. Попробовали пообедать один раз в отеле. Дорого, долго готовили. Апероль принесли почти без самого апероля, как шампанское с соком. Интернет иногда пропадал минут на 5, что некомфортно для удалённой работы. От отеля остались неприятные воспоминания, ни за что бы не поехала второй раз.

Nice location, but hotel is quite old! Breakfast is good Lobby bar is expensive

Dinner in the hotel is problematic. The menu needs to be downloaded to the phone. It is not readable there. There is no alternative. Or from the phone or not. Frozen waiter will not help you. As a result, dinner was in a restaurant opposite the hotel. The hotel was filled with interest on thirty, but behind the wall we were settled by drunken people who arranged a debosh at four in the morning. Resepschn did not solve the problem, said ”we spoke to the guests,” but the noise continued. Only after the promise in the morning to complain to the leadership, we were offered to move to another room for the night. And be ready, that in the morning, at breakfast, you will be treated with pro-Ukrainian propaganda on two TVs. At the request of changing the channel, the answer was that ”we are obliged to show the world news.” Well, the yelling maids in the hallway are fully voiced It is clear that all the forces of the leadership have gone to build a building of the corresponding level of a five-star hotel, and the building has really succeeded, and the service of the forces is no longer enough. Usually I don't write reviews, but these guys tried very hard to spoil the rest. Good boys, it turned out

Our July 3-12, 2023, family stay at the Novotel Almaty City Center Hotel for our son and daughter-in-law’s Qyz Uzatu bride’s wedding was memorable and outstanding. The staff was accommodating beyond expectations. Examples of services and assistance furnished include: 1) gorgeous congratulatory bouquet of roses, cake, and bottle of champagne for bride and groom upon their arrival, 2) Front Desk Receptionist Elmira ordered, negotiated, and “babysat” multiple wedding flower bouquets the day of the bride’s wedding event, 3) Deputy General Manager Yevgeniy personally helped finalize five 10-day room reservations, following up multiple times ensuring our full satisfaction, then emailing us a farewell and thank you note for our stay, 4) Front Desk Manager Altyn happily assisted with various requests, 5) entire staff was cooperative, positive, and professional, and 6) hotel restaurant’s breakfast buffets were delicious, and lunches were quite satisfying, too. Additionally, the hotel location was fantastic b/c: it’s adjacent to the large public plaza with memorial and fountains, as well as the tram to the nearby mountaintop which had restaurants, zoo, amusement park, etc.; walkable city center with nearby restaurants, shopping, green spaces, and more. Based on our family’s experience, we zealously endorse and recommend the Novotel Almaty City Center Hotel and will fondly remember our stay and the hotel’s kind, thoughtful, and service-oriented staff for taking care of our family.
