Wanderlust Hostel, hotel in Almaty

Wanderlust Hostel is located in Almaty, 1.4 miles from Raiymbek Batyr Metro Station and 1.8 miles from Vosmoye Chudo Sveta Water Park.

This is a charming hostel, cozy enough, except our room was right next to the open terrace, and there was a bunch of people chatting away till the wee hours. Otherwise it was a great stay. The location is the best thing about this hostel. Bang in the middle of the city everything is accessible by a short walk/e-scooter includingthe major metro station, markets, restaurants and bus stops.

    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.
