HOSTEL, hotel in Almaty

Located within a 14-minute walk of Almaty 1 Train Station and 5.3 miles of Almaty Central Mosque, HOSTEL has rooms with air conditioning and a shared bathroom in Almaty.

I stayed at this hostel for one night at the end of July, and it was a magnificent experience. Traveling from Russia to the USA with a one-day stop in Almaty, I was warmly welcomed by the courteous and helpful staff. The host, Vesvi, was exceptionally hospitable and made my stay truly memorable. Thank you for such a warm welcome. If I find myself in Almaty again, my choice of hostel will be obvious. Highly recommended!

    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.
