One of the best hostels in Almaty, I would say. This hostel is a gem. The rooms are very clean. Oscar and his colleague are very courteous. The owner is very accommodating, understanding, and helpful. They have gone the extra mile to help us with every question we have. Everything you need is provided: basic toiletries, towels, washing machine, dryer, kettle, hairdryer, laundry detergent, coffee, tea, and cooking facilities. You can also store your luggage if you need to leave for another city for a day or two. The room rate is affordable and reasonable. The location is near grocery stores, bus stops, and restaurants. I hope they maintain this level of service, as they help a lot of travelers and tourists.

Boasting a garden and views of inner courtyard, Sabay Sai Wooden Guesthouse in The National Park is a recently renovated guest house situated in Almaty, 10 km from Vosmoye Chudo Sveta Water Park. This guest house features free private parking, a shared kitchen and free WiFi. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a picnic area.

This place is perfect for everyone, who's looking to spend a few days outside the city center in the nature. The beautiful wooden house is located in a valley, from where you can start a few hikes or simply relax around the outside area to either do some yoga, play table tennis or read a book in a bean bag while listening to the sounds of the river close by. On top, Malika and Andrej can tell you a lot of interesting stories about the country, the people and the food. I even had the chance to eat the traditional dish Beshbarmak, which was soo delicious. The included breakfast was freshly prepared and they even asked at what time I'd like to have it.

Each room at Guest House on Sadovaya is decorated in a classic style and includes a desk. Bathrooms are fitted with a hairdryer.

A daily breakfast can be served in the guesthouse, while several dining options can also be found within a 10-minute walk of the property.

Price versus what you get is very fine. Owner picked me up from airport at 06:00h. in the morning! Bathroom necessities like toothpaste and brush, shampoo, soap are there. Location is good and on walking distance to center. Maybe something like 20-30 minutes. Breakfast is served to you. Almaty is amazing with the beautiful Mountains so close. Take bus Number 12 to get there or take taxi. From Almaty I went to Bishek. At the busstation you can buy a ticket for mini-van, but I went for taxi and paid 5000 Tenge to the border. You have to wait till car is full. At other side of border you take another taxi to city. Will cost something like 200 to 300 Som. You cross border by feet.

Looking for a guest house?

Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travelers who prefer laid-back accommodations with a personal touch. Usually family run, these hosts will provide local recommendations and even optional meals. Guest houses sometimes feature a cozy living room or a garden – and are still cheaper than most regular hotels.

    We felt this hostel was in a great location and extended our stay here. The hosts are friendly and helpful. It was great to have a kitchen to do some cooking, and we also appreciated being able to use the washing machine. It’s a small guesthouse, with only a few travellers at a time, so it was nice talking with them. The location is close to some small shops, supermarkets and canteens, and Zenkov’s cathedral is an easy walk. So is the Arasan Spa (a must do!).

    Had a fantastic stay at Hostel Viator. The host was so friendly and hospitable. She allowed us a late check out too which was very kind and gave us a little gift when we were leaving. Very charming accommodation with fantastic facilities. Self-service laundry was available for only 500 tenge. The property was absolutely spotless. Very private, quiet and safe. Good location, not far from Hotel Kazakhstan and many coffee shops, restaurants and supermarkets. I can’t rate this place highly enough!
