The building of the original architecture, despite the Soviet past, fits perfectly into modern Almaty. A luxurious lobby, lots of elevators, rooms without frills, but with high ceilings and airy. The hotel offers wonderful views. From the restaurant there is an overview of the surroundings, around the city, on the other hand-the foothills.

Despite the fact that I had to move from room to room twice because of the screaming music in the bars, the impression of the hotel remained positive. The Kazakhstan Hotel is a beautiful building, beautiful halls, good breakfast, friendly staff, high level of service, good restaurants. And most importantly, the perfect location. The hotel is located in the very center of Almaty, from here you can walk to any attraction. Very close to the Koktebe cable car (without children or if you do not like attractions, you should not climb, it is expensive and it is a loss of money, it is better to go to Medeo. it's much more beautiful there). In general, this is a cult place where the "Soviet chic" has remained, there are very few such places on the planet now, even in Havana and Belgrade you can find such hotels. Therefore, it is worth choosing "Kazakhstan" for the sake of emotions, to touch the history.
The only thing is, don't repeat my mistakes, give up rooms on the 25th floor, because karaoke screams all night, so that the walls shake, and rooms with access to the pool bar, it's even louder than karaoke.
But if I go to Almaty again, I will never choose another hotel, as it is now customary to say "for a good vibe". And yes, I forgot the main thing - the views from the windows are simply extraordinary! There is an opportunity to see the whole city from a height, the views of the mountains are also very beautiful.

I stayed here for the second time. I am very pleased! The staff is good, the breakfasts are very varied. The location itself is very good - there is a place to walk or have dinner. Another important point is that the hotel is earthquake-resistant! The rooms, of course, are from Soviet times, but not bad.

The hotel is very beautiful from the outside and in the lobby of the 1st floor. But the room stock is very tired. As well as bed linen with bathrobes and towels. I would put 1 piece of furniture and 3 underwear. Hot water appears after 10 minutes of spilling... There are no tubes of creams or shower gels. But there are kits for brushing teeth
and a gel with shampoo 2 in 1. But with all this!
Beds and mattresses, pillows, blankets are very comfortable!
The breakfasts are varied. Fruits and vegetables are delicious. There is honey in sets, various pastries, sour milk, etc. In general, the food is 5.
The reception is quite qualified.
On the 1st floor there is a liquor store and 24x7
Therefore, there are more pros than cons.
If you are not pretentious about plumbing and the quality of the room stock, but just spends the night in a hotel, then I recommend it.

Four of them. I really don't like the breakfasts, the rooms are small. This is the Soviet landmark of Almaty. There is a great restaurant on the roof, not cheap but delicious. There's also a couple downstairs, a nice Guinness bar across the street. You can stay for a couple of nights

Good price/quality ratio. The hotel is old, but apparently now run by the Turks, a very tasty and varied breakfast. The reception handled the check-in very quickly. But if the bed and linen are important to someone, then the pillows and blanket clearly need to be replaced.

Nice hotel. The ideal location in the city center. Although I stayed in the most ordinary budget room, it was quite spacious and the view from the window opened onto the mountains. The staff is polite. The breakfast is delicious. One of the disadvantages is a slightly shabby environment, as well as overloaded elevators (sometimes it takes 10 minutes to go down or up).

If you want to leave in the evening, think about it in advance! The staff is helpful and friendly. The restaurant is delicious)

Good, stable 4. There are a number of disadvantages - the key one is that there is no possibility to order something for dinner/snack in the lobby during possible negotiations. The organization of this space does not bring the necessary efficiency to the owner and does not create an atmosphere of comfort for guests and those who come.

I was very surprised by the hotel. Previously, 10 years ago, the rooms were mildly not very good. The breakfasts here have always been excellent. We checked in here because other hotels where we used to stay have raised prices a lot. The hotel Kazakhstan was pleasantly surprised starting with the reception. The polite staff explained and told everything. We rented a family room, it's a two-room room and everything is there. Cleaning every day, everything is clean. The scale of this hotel is amazing, considering that it was built in 1977 once again convinces that it was built for centuries. I definitely recommend it

The hotel was once good, but "tired". And it was especially bad at breakfast — the child was refused to make porridge without milk, and there was nothing for him at the buffet. We had fruit for breakfast. Local Ibis in comparison — 5 stars
We were at the hotel on August 4-5, 2023, and the check for accommodation has unfortunately not been preserved since then.

What can not be said about the waiters of the restaurant on the 2nd floor, where breakfasts are held: indifferent, do not work, but serve time, as if in hard labor, dishes are selectively cleaned from guests, requests are ignored.
Buffet breakfast : varied and delicious.
The rooms are cozy, but small.
The linen is worn in places, with scuffs.

A good hotel, in a very interesting architectural style for its time. It's more or less civilized inside. Geographically, the place is not bad. There is a good view from the upper floors. Of the cons. The card did not work when checking in, it was flashed. It's unclear what's wrong with the elevators, there seem to be a lot of them, but you can wait a long time. The feeding is not very good, with a friend who roasts omelets and scrambled eggs, we need to work on the technique. Well, the main claim, for which I put 4 stars and not 5. This is 1 toilet cubicle on the ground floor, on a 25-storey hotel.. Which is always busy, and I had to go from the bar to the room on the 24th floor
