Evergreen Hostel, hotel in Almaty

Featuring a shared lounge, Evergreen Hostel offers rooms in Almaty, 5.5 km from Almaty 2 Train Station and 5.6 km from Raiymbek Batyr Metro Station.

I really liked the hostels. Everything is new inside, the rooms are very nice, well equipped, the beds have curtains and sockets and individual lights. The lockers are spacious and the rooms are big, which is very good for long time travelers with large luggage. The washing machine in the bathroom that could be used free of charge was a great bonus! The breakfast is good and the staff is friendly. I would happily come back here when in Almaty.

GOOD INN, hotel in Almaty

Situated within 3.1 km of Gvardeytsev-Panfilovtsev Park and 3.1 km of Ascension Cathedral, GOOD INN offers rooms in Almaty.

Nice clean small private room with private bathroom. Room near common living/dining/kitchen can be noisy (one night someone playing music at 1:00 a.m.). Can be a little tricky to find. Nice grocery store in mall across the street, but quite a long walk to cathedral, bazaar, and park. Staff were helpful, even when their English wasn’t strong they worked it out with google translate.

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.
