Spa hotels in Almaty

Given the facility's condition, it's comparable to a 200 CNY hotel in China, not worth the 600+ CNY. The room is very old, has a strong odor, and the bathroom is tiny. The front desk couldn't even exchange foreign currency for us. They even put in the wrong destination when calling a taxi for us. While it's relatively close to where we needed to be, about a 10-minute walk, it's full of uphill climbs and stairs, which is quite inconvenient.

Hotels in Almaty aren't exactly cheap, and this old InterContinental was quite pricey. However, in an unfamiliar country, I felt safer opting for an international chain hotel. The location is good for sightseeing, and taxis are easily accessible. The room was a bit old-fashioned but clean. They even provided a universal adapter knowing I was a Chinese guest. The minibar wasn't cheap; a bottle of juice cost 600.

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 had a wonderful stay at Swissôtel Almaty. Everything was excellent - the rooms, service, cleanliness, and overall atmosphere of the hotel. A special highlight was the spa area, which is one of the best I have experienced. It was the perfect place to relax and recharge. I would also like to give a special thank you to Elena, the yoga instructor. Her class was professional, inspiring, and suitable for all levels. It was a great way to start the day and added a lot to my overall experience at the hotel. Thank you to the entire Swissôtel team for a fantastic stay. I will be happy to return in the future.

The room is surprisingly big, and the 1.8m big bed looks small in the room. It's too far to watch TV when lying on the bed 😂 It also has a small balcony. The interior decoration of the hotel is also very grand. The only thing is that it is a little old and the location is a little far, but everything else is good

Novotel Almaty City Centre Hotel. Set in the heart of Almaty City, a few hundred feet from the iconic Soviet era Khazakstan Hotel and 20 to 30 minutes from Almaty Airport, this Novotel is modern, clean and with all the usual, essential amenities. Only one main downside is the room aircon is set by the hotel during winter months to run warm. It cannot be adjusted in the room so it became too hot and stuffy. We had to call an engineer who just unlocked the window security lock and we had to have the window wide open through the night allowing all the street noise below to echo into the room. A pleasant stay for a few nights if travelling onwards, but a bit pricey at £170.00 pounds sterling a night for two people!

It is located centrally, enabling travellers to have easy assess to connecting public bus services, subways, walking distance to nearby eateries, restaurants, the famous Green Bazaar and the sceneic, spacious park that housed the famous Zenkov Cathedral! All the staffs were amazing, from the frontline to the housekeeping and managers on duty. They communicated well, speak good English, and were extremely patient and helpful in answering my questions about the hotel facilities, going to certain places, etc. Although the breakfast food selection is not much, it was still outstanding - the bread were fresh, the coffee selection is excellent, fresh cut fruits, and these were sufficient to fill my appetite during my stay for the breakfast! I would definitely recommend travellers and visitors to Almaty to consider staying at the Grand Tien Shan hotel, its a ”GRAND” feeling you wouldn't want to miss! Enjoy!

The hotel wasn't crowded and the room was spacious, so we had a comfortable stay. They promptly handled even our minor requests, and all the staff were friendly. All the food prepared for breakfast was excellent because the ingredients were fresh; the fruit was especially tasty, and the omelets were so good that we ordered them every morning.

The room was decent. The ambiance and service were both average.

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!
