HOSTEL, hotel in Almaty

Located within a 14-minute walk of Almaty 1 Train Station and 5.3 miles of Almaty Central Mosque, HOSTEL has rooms with air conditioning and a shared bathroom in Almaty.

I stayed at this hostel for one night at the end of July, and it was a magnificent experience. Traveling from Russia to the USA with a one-day stop in Almaty, I was warmly welcomed by the courteous and helpful staff. The host, Vesvi, was exceptionally hospitable and made my stay truly memorable. Thank you for such a warm welcome. If I find myself in Almaty again, my choice of hostel will be obvious. Highly recommended!

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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.
