Hotels near TsUM, Almaty

I am a solo traveller and it was my first time to travel to Almaty. I have no other words to describe my stay at this hotel aside from being exceptional. My room was big, there was also heated floor which countered the chilly winter days during my stay, daily room cleaning and the foods at the cafe especial bfast buffet were amazing and filling!!!! Special mention to all the staff there that welcomed me warmly most especially Yeldoz and the others who were very kind and friendly. The hotel is only an hour of walking from the famous tourist spots like Ascendant Cathedral, Panfilov, etc. And I recommend you to walk from the hotel to the aforementioned tourist spots beautiful you will be amazed by the views while walking 🫶🫶🫶 Again thankful and so lucky to have stayed at this hotel and met the kindest people here!!!

We had great time at Tenir Eco. At first, im a bit worried as im unsure how to go up and bring luggages direct from airport since we arrived direct from istanbul trip. But actually its quite easy. The hotel arranged to bring luggages up to hotel with payment of 5000 tenge(from shymbulak station to hotel reception). U have a choice to bring it yourslef but mind you that it is quite slippery from combi 2 to reception. So if u want to enjoy the moment just ask the hotel to bring the luggage for u. The hotel will give QR code for cable car ride from Medeu station to combi 1-combi 2 and back down. If u want more can ask them to buy for you. Around 4000 tenge. The hospitality is amazing , they provided all the necessity. And fast action too. They fixed the netflix so we could enjoy our 2nights stay. And although -12celcius was a challenge but the room got quite nice heat ‘ and u can always heat urself in the bathroom sauna, even the floor was heated. So we never feel tortured with the weather. Bring some food for dinner if u dont want to spend time going down too much. And u can heat it in sauna as well🙈. Host (ingkar) was a very nice person. He gave us two nice cheesecakes since netflix took time to be fixed. We stayed in Room Tenir 10 which was the last end room with nice romantic vibe and view. There’s night skiing and the skiers sometimes stop and wave to us while we watch them pass by. We also hike to nearby mountain and enjoy the scenery. It is super cold during winter and like a dream come true stay for us. As per going back you can request them to bring down luggage as well with same 5000 tenge tilk symbulak station. The food at syn32 also yummy n good. Go try the blueberry mint tea with mountain view. Its amazing. U can ski in ski out from the room itself. Sunset is perfect as well. I will return again in future. Perfect stay in Shymbulak 3200m…. Never regret it. And may try the paragliding as well. Looks fun too!

We stayed in a junior suite. I liked the hotel; the staff were friendly. The on-site restaurant is excellent, everything is delicious, and the prices are quite reasonable.

We really liked the location, there are a lot of cafes and restaurants directly next to the accomodation. The host is responsive. The apartment itself is a good size and in a new complex. The wifi is good. However, there are some improvements that we would recommend. Cleanliness needs to be improved - there was dirt on the bed sheet, hair in the shower and drawers, dirty kitchen towels, stained mats in the bathroom, dishes were dirty (needing washing before use) and the inside of the fridge was dirty. Whilst the bed was relatively comfortable, the sheets were too small and didn’t stay on the bed or cover two people. When we booked the accomodation, we picked it due to being able to complete washing; however the washing line on the covered sunroom was full of the hosts linen washing. We had to fold this and put it away to be able to use the facilities we paid for. The amenities are also lacking, there wasn’t any clothes washing liquid/powder (just an empty bottle), the shampoo and conditioner were half used tiny bottles from another hotel, no drinking water, no tea/coffee etc. The kitchen lacks certain things to make basic meals (no pasta strainer) and there is nowhere to put hot pots when you take them off the hot plate. We were also given the wrong room number before our arrival, meaning that we were trying to get into the wrong apartment for 30 mins - after a long travel day this was a bit exhausting. Overall, more attention to detail would help improve this accomodation. We hope this helps the hosts improve.

«Excellent apartment with a great view and a caring host!» We stayed in this complex (Raiymbek district), and everything was perfect. The host explained everything very thoroughly and clearly: she sent us the PIN codes for all the doors, the geolocation, and the Wi-Fi passwords. Check-in was smooth, even with the language barrier – she communicated in both Russian and English. Apartment 120-2 (12th floor) is amazing! The view from the window is stunning, everything is very clean, and it has a modern renovation. The bed is comfortable, and the air conditioning works. Overall, the stay was very comfortable, and you feel safe (intercoms, codes). I will definitely come back!

We stayed at Almaty Hotel again during another trip and had a very positive experience. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and well located. It was easy to move around the city, visit nearby places, and find restaurants within walking distance. The staff were polite and helpful throughout the stay. Check in and check out were smooth, and everything was well organized. Overall, Almaty Hotel remained a reliable and pleasant place to stay in Almaty. I would recommend it and would stay there again.

A very convenient and clean hostel. Many Chinese guests stay here. It's very close to the bus station and also to Lake Sairan. It gets lively with many people at night! There's a Malatang (Sichuan hot pot) restaurant right at the entrance. There's also a small market nearby where you can shop and use Alipay. The Naryn restaurant by the entrance is great for gatherings, with good ambiance and food, but the portions are large, so it might be a bit expensive for one person.

Facilities: Old facilities Cleanliness: Very good Environment: Excellent natural environment and decor Service: Average, inefficient

This famous hotel is the pride of Kazakhstan. It boasts a superb location in the city center with wonderful views from the windows. Housekeeping is daily. There's a kettle in the room, but tea bags aren't replenished. Water was provided daily, and there was always hot water. My room was on the 13th floor. The room is in dire need of renovation – it's old and dilapidated. The plumbing is chipped, and the walls are cracked. My request for a higher floor was ignored, with staff claiming no other rooms were available, even though they were. However, the views from the window are good, overlooking Kok Tobe mountain and the TV tower. A special shout-out to the hotel's restaurant! It's simply 10 out of 10! I haven't encountered such a variety and deliciousness of dishes in any other 5-star hotel. The restaurant is amazing! Breakfast is served from 6:00 AM to 11:00 AM, which is great! Currently (July 2026), there's renovation happening in the elevator lobby, but it doesn't affect the quality of our stay at all. Kudos to them for that!

Good location, convenient for travel, close to bus stops and the subway. It's a small, rather old hotel, but reasonably convenient for a 2-star rating. However, the hotel name isn't in English, it's in Kazakh, which can be a bit confusing.
