The staff were really helpful and kind (most notably the young Kazakh guy) It was insanely clean. I’ve never seen a hostel so modern with such high standards! You are able to buy things that aren’t overpriced if you run out of anything or forget something. Overall, I would say the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comfortable Stay at Koksay Hotel – Great Value We had a very pleasant stay at Koksay Hotel in Almaty. The hotel is located a bit outside the busy city center, which makes it peaceful and quiet — perfect for relaxing after a long day. Even though it’s not in the middle of the city, getting around is very easy with Yandex taxi, which is fast and affordable in Almaty. Our room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, with all the essentials we needed for a good stay. The bed was cozy, the bathroom was spotless, and the Wi-Fi worked well. Everything was well-maintained, showing the hotel’s commitment to quality and guest comfort. The staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with any questions or requests. Their hospitality made us feel welcome and cared for during our time here. While the hotel does not serve breakfast, there are small shops and cafes nearby, and with Yandex rides being so convenient, finding great food in the city was never a problem. Overall, Koksay Hotel offers great value for money — clean rooms, friendly service, and a peaceful location with easy transport access. We enjoyed our stay and would happily return when visiting Almaty again.

Nomad hostel was a nice, clean and comfortable place to stay in Almaty. Hostel team was very friendly and helpful. Location is very central, next to the Dostyk plaza shopping mall. ATM, banks, coffee shops, restaurants pharmacy, post office, good public transportation system are around the hostel. Shared space: There is a common shared kitchen with everything needed for cooking and storage, tables, chairs and sofas for having food and chatting with other travelers. Complimentary tea and coffee is available in the kitchen. My room was nice. Comfortable bed with clean bed sheet, pillow case and blanket cover has been provided. There are lockers with digital lock in the room. Each bed had own light, shelf and socket at the bed, which was great. There was a bathroom with shower and toilet in my room. Wi-Fi worked very well everywhere in the hostel. Hostel provides laundry service and towel for separate payment. Cleaning lady does wet cleaning of the hostel every day. Changing shoes: It is a local culture to put off street shoes as local street roads are dirty. Hostel provides clean shoes for changing and wearing inside of the hostel. I was taking them with me when I was going out, so I knew that nobody took my home shoes and wore. Overall, my Nomad hostel stay was very comfortable and pleasant that I extended my stay. I can recommend it for everyone.

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.

    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.
