Great cosy homestay. I stayed here for 6 nights and it was an absolute delight. From check-in to check-out it was glitch free. Lena, who runs the establishment is a very kind and helpful women. She is there to help you whenever you are in some confusion. She recommends amazing tours and food places. Now coming to the stay, the biggest highlight was the facility and cleanliness - Top notch. Rooms are comfortable and did not felt cold at all. You have hot water and all necessary toiletries. Free wifi is also available. It's walking distance from city and I recommend you do that because the street is so beautiful. I would defined choose this property if I am in Almaty again.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.
