Hotel Kazakhstan
Nice size room, great location! Only downside was the WiFi was temperamental. I also wouldn’t recommend using their exchange service: rates are worse than the airport and the guy working there is rude.

Holiday Inn ALMATY by IHG
The room was neat and clean, and we appreciated the very nice towels and linens. We also really liked it. There were fresh water stations on every floor. The staff couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. A small café downstairs a very good latte!
