FM Hostel Almaty Reviews

Great location nice staff average clean free coffee free water all over it’s good . But after 12am look main door

Strategic location , walking distance to Mega Shopping Mall , accessible by public transport and help desk is nice and we are able to communicate in English.

The room is small, but located in a good neighborhood and so easy to find. Very close to bus station and train station. The receptionist is friendly

Space a bit tight but with price is consider ok.

Good location, helpful staff. A little bit noisy and no hostel policy for bedtime or rules, for short stay it's ok according to price. No AC, no fan, bathroom is very small.

Cheap price and clean..

Best location

After strolling around Kanas in Altay during the 2024 National Day holiday, I decided to take a 200-yuan bus to travel abroad. Ctrip is still very powerful and can book rooms abroad. This homestay has a total of four rooms. The first one is a female dormitory, and the second and fourth are male dormitories. I booked the third room as a standard room, which is more expensive. The homestay has a refrigerator, washing machine, and self-cooking facilities, two bathrooms and shower rooms. Everyone is of good quality. The two aunties at the front desk take turns on duty. The slightly fat one is very enthusiastic, and the thin one is more cunning. She charged me 15 yuan for shampoo and shower gel.

There is no subway station nearby, so you need to walk a little distance. Fortunately, it is within the city. There are supermarkets nearby, so it is very convenient to buy things. The space is not very large. The kitchen is simple enough to boil water, but not suitable for making complicated meals. Just keep it simple.

The Kazakh lady at the reception desk was very helpful. It was my first time in Almaty, and there was basically no one who could speak English. The lady had no problem communicating in English, and explained everything to me clearly, just like meeting a relative. I arrived by plane in the morning, and most hotels can only check in at 2 pm. So I chose this hotel and checked in before the check-in time. WiFi, hot water, and showers are all available. Various tourist attractions are very close to the hotel. I promised the lady that I must give a very good review in **.

The public facilities are pretty good, such as bottled water, stove, refrigerator, toilet, bathroom, washing machine

Suitable for an overnight stay of one or two nights. A little outdated furniture in the room. There is a shared kitchen with a stove and utensils. Two shared bathrooms with showers. The neighbors are not noisy. Nearby is a shopping center with a supermarket.

The room is a little dim, but the environment is very quiet. There are many Chinese people. It is close to many scenic spots in the city. However, there are no bed curtains in the six-person male room. Some upper bunks do not have sockets, so it is troublesome to connect the lower bunks.

The hostel is in a good location. But if you think you will have a good rest there, you are mistaken. The women's room is 8 square meters, has 3 two-story beds for 5 guests and an administrator. The administrator sighed all night, walked back and forth, whispered on the phone. At five in the morning, she decided to wash the floor in the room with bleach. At 8, they met with the shift worker and loudly washed the guests' bones. I, having gone about my business, wanted to sleep for an hour during the day. No such luck. The number of administrators increased. They shouted loudly among themselves, rattled pots, laughed out loud. The mattresses on the beds were already tired after 50-60 years. The springs dug into the body. But the linen was quite clean, although with towels gray from age.
