Five Seasons, was a very good place to stay. Staff was very friendly, though we didn't know the language, we exchanged all our conversations through facial expressions , smiles & sometimes google translator. Lovely place to stay. I initially worried, because of my kid, but trust me its a great place one can stay & family friendly. We cooked our dinner everyday & kitchen was easily accessible. Thank you Five Seasons for giving us a wonderful stay in Almaty. Love from India !

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Very easy going and budget-friendly. We came back to the same hostel after a 2-day trip to Charyn canyon and Kolsay lakes. Some other travellers we met in the trip stayed also at the same hostel. So all in all it was nice for the atmosphere and the people for good talking and sharing experiences and traveling tips.
