Top Almaty Hotel Reviews
Holiday Inn ALMATY by IHG
"Fantastic Staff on front desk and in the restaurant. Made my stay very enjoyable. Thanks to all the Staff. Best Holiday Inn I ever visited during my 30 years of traveling."
Ibis Almaty Jetisu
"All very good and very helpful staff"
Renion Park Hotel
"Good location. Excellent breakfast."
Hotel Tahar
"Clean rooms, kind staff, nearby metro"
Hotel Kazakhstan
"Reception staff were brilliant. They gave us a fantastic 2 bedroom suite. The hotel itself is really beautiful. Some places rate it 4 star and some 5 but I would definitely say it’s more towards 5 star. Water in the shower was not very hot and water pressure was weak. Room was quite chilly at night. Breakfast was plentiful but not much we actually liked as a western family. Maybe aimed more towards Chinese people. These are all minor issues and I would definitely stay here again."

Mildom Residence
