4-Star Hotels in Almaty

We had great time at Tenir Eco. At first, im a bit worried as im unsure how to go up and bring luggages direct from airport since we arrived direct from istanbul trip. But actually its quite easy. The hotel arranged to bring luggages up to hotel with payment of 5000 tenge(from shymbulak station to hotel reception). U have a choice to bring it yourslef but mind you that it is quite slippery from combi 2 to reception. So if u want to enjoy the moment just ask the hotel to bring the luggage for u. The hotel will give QR code for cable car ride from Medeu station to combi 1-combi 2 and back down. If u want more can ask them to buy for you. Around 4000 tenge. The hospitality is amazing , they provided all the necessity. And fast action too. They fixed the netflix so we could enjoy our 2nights stay. And although -12celcius was a challenge but the room got quite nice heat ‘ and u can always heat urself in the bathroom sauna, even the floor was heated. So we never feel tortured with the weather. Bring some food for dinner if u dont want to spend time going down too much. And u can heat it in sauna as well🙈. Host (ingkar) was a very nice person. He gave us two nice cheesecakes since netflix took time to be fixed. We stayed in Room Tenir 10 which was the last end room with nice romantic vibe and view. There’s night skiing and the skiers sometimes stop and wave to us while we watch them pass by. We also hike to nearby mountain and enjoy the scenery. It is super cold during winter and like a dream come true stay for us. As per going back you can request them to bring down luggage as well with same 5000 tenge tilk symbulak station. The food at syn32 also yummy n good. Go try the blueberry mint tea with mountain view. Its amazing. U can ski in ski out from the room itself. Sunset is perfect as well. I will return again in future. Perfect stay in Shymbulak 3200m…. Never regret it. And may try the paragliding as well. Looks fun too!

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The service was excellent, both at the front desk and during breakfast. Housekeeping was fantastic; they consistently replenished slippers and dental amenities. Since I was traveling alone, they provided two bottles of fresh water daily. A bathrobe was also included. Breakfast offered a good variety, and everything was delicious. They even had national sweets, which was a nice touch. I tried the spa and jacuzzi. Overall, it was okay, but the jacuzzi water was heavily chlorinated, leaving my hands very dry afterward. There was no hand cream in the room, which would have been a great addition. While the hotel isn't right in the city center, the location is still convenient. It's a 10-minute walk to the metro station, and Arbat Street, a popular pedestrian street, is nearby.

We really liked the location, there are a lot of cafes and restaurants directly next to the accomodation. The host is responsive. The apartment itself is a good size and in a new complex. The wifi is good. However, there are some improvements that we would recommend. Cleanliness needs to be improved - there was dirt on the bed sheet, hair in the shower and drawers, dirty kitchen towels, stained mats in the bathroom, dishes were dirty (needing washing before use) and the inside of the fridge was dirty. Whilst the bed was relatively comfortable, the sheets were too small and didn’t stay on the bed or cover two people. When we booked the accomodation, we picked it due to being able to complete washing; however the washing line on the covered sunroom was full of the hosts linen washing. We had to fold this and put it away to be able to use the facilities we paid for. The amenities are also lacking, there wasn’t any clothes washing liquid/powder (just an empty bottle), the shampoo and conditioner were half used tiny bottles from another hotel, no drinking water, no tea/coffee etc. The kitchen lacks certain things to make basic meals (no pasta strainer) and there is nowhere to put hot pots when you take them off the hot plate. We were also given the wrong room number before our arrival, meaning that we were trying to get into the wrong apartment for 30 mins - after a long travel day this was a bit exhausting. Overall, more attention to detail would help improve this accomodation. We hope this helps the hosts improve.

Hotel Uyut is in a good location, not too far from the subway and a short walk to restaurants and shops. The room was clean and comfortable enough. Television had plenty of different channels. There is a very small jacuzzi cold pool and a sauna which you can book for a private time. The sauna was great, but the pool jacuzzi bubbles only lasted less than 1 minute. The breakfast buffet was a bit disappointing. There was a lack of food at certain times and the coffee machine wasn't working on the last day I was there. The hotel seemed to struggle with the number of guests, one day there was a lack of seats in the breakfast room when I turned up and there were often wait times when waiting for the lift / elevator.

I recently stayed at Hotel Almaty for 5 days and 4 nights and it was a great base for exploring the city. The hotel's central location made it very convenient to visit major attractions, restaurants, supermarkets and the pedestrian areas of Almaty. My room was comfortable, clean and well-maintained. One of the highlights of my stay was the beautiful mountain view from my room. Waking up each morning to see the majestic mountains in the distance was a wonderful experience and made my stay even more memorable. The housekeeping staff did an excellent job throughout my stay, ensuring that the room remained spotless and comfortable. The breakfast offered a good variety of options to start the day and the hotel staff were friendly, professional and always willing to help with any questions or requests. Overall, I had a very enjoyable stay and would highly recommend Hotel Almaty to anyone visiting the city. The combination of its excellent location, comfortable rooms and stunning mountain views adds on to a fantastic experience. I would gladly stay here again on my next visit to Almaty.

Perfect stay at the Novotel city centre, upon checking in Armand at reception noticed it was my daughter’s birthday few days ago so he gave my daughter & son as toy gift which was very sweet! The hotel has decent clean rooms & it’s in the perfect location, the Koke tobe cable carts are next door & Dostyk mall is a 15mins walk away. The hotel had a great breakfast spread with fresh pastries and a variety of food choices, lunch & dinner menu can be improved a little but still ok it just has a limited variety. Unfortunately, the pool & spa was under maintenance so was not open so we couldn’t use. Also thanks to Armand we got a late check out for both our rooms! A very nice jolly chap!

The room is good for one person. The bed was comfortable and the heating is decent. Wifi is fast enough for me to work. Daily housekeeping is great. The breakfast options are sufficient but their coffee machine keeps on running out of Chocolate, sometimes it just dispensed dark water. The location of the hotel is ideal. The staff can speak English and they helped me with some of my requests. I initially stayed for 4 nights andextended my stay for one night and my key card stopped working on the final day, they had to reactivate it. The daily breakfast was served in the ground floor restaurant which is quite dark and not ideal. Overall i had a pleasant stay, and would consider booking this hotel again when I return to Almaty.

I stayed here for my entire three-night, four-day trip to Kazakhstan. The cleanliness and facilities were impeccable, and the breakfast was very generous. The shower had great water pressure. The only thing I wasn't used to was that the room wasn't as spacious as rooms back home, but overall, it was still very good. The best part is its landmark location, making taxis easy to find. The Kök-Töbe cable car is within walking distance, as is Abay Metro Station. There's also a tea house nearby, Navat, which has good food and a nice atmosphere.

Had a great stay! Staff was efficient and friendly. Booked the hostel room and it was very clean and spacious! Toilet and showers were working well. There is a fridge, microwave and communal area had sofas and was cozy. Location is really good too, near some shops and there was a supermarket/mall nearby. Really worth the price and would book again!
