This was my first time staying at a hotel in Almaty. It's about 16.5 km from the airport. I took a taxi around 8 AM to the hotel, and there was a bit of traffic. It's within 3 km of two train stations. The hotel breakfast is quite rich, especially for Chinese tastes, with boiled eggs and congee placed right inside the dining area on the right. Many Chinese company project staff stay here, so it feels a bit like a budget hotel, but the breakfast is excellent. What's particularly worth mentioning is that there's a 24-hour restaurant right next to the hotel. I had dinner there for about 19 RMB, consisting of egg and sausage fried rice, braised eggplant, and roasted pumpkin, which suited my Chinese palate perfectly, along with black tea. I also want to thank the young lady working the night shift on October 12th at 3:10 AM. The car picking me up for the airport went to the wrong place, and I was in a hurry. She quickly called a taxi for me, and it arrived in just 2 minutes. I gave her a big hug over the front desk! Thank you again!
