Best Almaty Spa Hotels

It was 3 stories high in the city center, so the view was just so-so. The water is not good due to the local characteristics, so when I shower and wash my hair, I feel my skin and hair getting dry. The temperature dropped to around -10 degrees, so the accommodation was a bit cold in the morning. The breakfast was good for local standards, and the staff and front desk were all friendly and proactive. The laundry service was also good.

Booked this hotel because it was near to the airport, and being only 20 minutes away made for a great stopover between flights. That said, the hotel itself has plenty to offer. The rooms are nice and clean. We actually had an issue where we had too much hot water which is sort of the opposite problem of what you'd expect. The staff were friendly and helpful. They also had plenty of water coolers around to refill bottles, which is a nice touch not all hotels would offer. We didn't use the pool, but we saw that it was large and plenty of people were using it. Breakfast was simple, but did enough to cover all the bases. All in all, would recommend a stay here. Especially if you're looking for somewhere near the airport to crash.

Subject: Excellent Location, but Overpriced and Outdated Rooms I stayed at Hotel Kazakhstan in Almaty for more than 10 days, drawn initially by its prime location. The hotel’s location is indeed its biggest strength—bang on the main road with excellent accessibility to various parts of the city, making it convenient for travelers. The property itself is a heritage hotel, and while it has its charm, the overall experience was mixed. The hotel is quite old, though the upkeep and concierge services were commendable. However, the parking facility was a major issue. During snowfall, it became extremely messy, and entering the hotel was quite challenging. Regarding the rooms, my experience varied throughout the stay: • The initial superior room booked online was decent, offering good space and facilities. • The “supreme premium superior” room I opted for later was disappointing—it was smaller, with a worse layout and fewer amenities than the superior room, which was surprising and frustrating. • For the last three days, I upgraded to a junior suite. While it offered more space, the layout and overall upkeep of the room felt outdated, leaving much to be desired. A consistent issue across all three rooms was the drainage system in the washrooms, which was poorly maintained and created unnecessary inconvenience. The breakfast provided as part of the stay had a wide selection and was good. However, the menu did not change for all nine days, which became monotonous for a longer stay. Room dining, though available, could be significantly improved in terms of quality and variety. Overall, while the location of Hotel Kazakhstan is unbeatable and perfect for those who want to stay in the heart of the city, the property feels overpriced given the outdated facilities and lack of variety in services. I would only recommend it to travelers with a good budget who prioritize location and heritage charm over modern amenities.

Location is in the fron of city, far away from airport. To the ciry centrum id will go in morning till 10a than will be in tradic and will go 1-2 hours. Room new with comfortable beds, but i recomend book the cheapest rooms, because deluxe (50sqr) are about nothing, just alot of free space. Maybe if you will do some party in the room for 5-10 people. Room design very simpe compere with ankther hotel where i was. Food very my tasty. In breakfast were a lot of vegetables, deuits, sweets and etc… No welcome drink, 80% staff looked for very strange, unfriendly and not plesure. Spa big, steamed bath with canalizatiom smell…

Very small room actually.Looks definitely less then 25 m2 And the real size of the QUEEN BED IS LESS THEN 1.8m and it was 1.5.The bad was uncomfortable and the linen was not soft. Every day we need to ask 1 more overall for bathroom cuz everyday we has only one in my room.And the same story with teeth brush.The room was booked for 2 by the way. Staff is actually good and pleasant! The main disadvantage is SMALL BED and small room-very tine for two people (we are about 170 cm tall). The breakfast is nice. Actually this hotel is overpriced for that kind of room provided

Our stay at Ritz-Carlton Almaty was exceptional, in fact our fav part of the city as tourists. The best part was the warm service from the staff, in particular thanks to Yekaterina (Kate), Malika, and concierge lady. Kate was welcoming and informative upon check in. Guest service staff Malika gave us attentive care throughout our stay and accommodated our preferences, which truly enhanced our experience in the country. Concierge lady gave us comprehensive advice on where to visit. The view from both our room and the Sky Lounge was unparalleled. Snow-capped mountains framed the landscape, offering a mesmerizing backdrop that undoubtedly ranks among the best in Almaty. Will definitely come back here if we’re back in the city.

The hotel is great, worth the price. Everything is good, clean, tidy and comfortable, breakfast is rich and delicious, with both Chinese and Western food. A little further south is a pedestrian street with a fast food restaurant (Figure 5), which is delicious and cheap, I eat there almost every day. There are also shopping malls and supermarkets. There is a bus No. 92 that goes to the airport nearby.

I found the Wyndham Ramada Hotel on Ctrip. I think it is a very good hotel. The hotel environment is very good and the hygiene is very clean. The breakfast is a Western breakfast and it is OK. The bad thing is that the hotel's supporting facilities are a bit old, the pillows are too low, the toothbrush is not easy to use, and the sleeping experience is not good.

Had a great time in the suite. Retro 90's Chinese vibe. Very nice. Also for a few euros you can get a Hongqi taxi with Yandex.

Excellent hotel, there are too many advantages, so I’ll name one of the obvious disadvantages, they don’t help with luggage when checking in, it looks very strange for 5 stars
